IN Long time lurker, first time poster

Hey everyone!

I started reading posts on here about the last 7 years so that I could one day get my own Rx7. I ended up buying '93 in May of '12 and I have been enjoying it ever since. It was only until this past year that it ended up in the air for longer than a few days.

My background is in civil engineering and no one in my small family is a motorhead (or rotorhead in this case). So pretty much everything is new to me. The information that this forum has given me the past few years has been invaluable. I hope to finally be able to contribute around here, even if its just for entertainment purposes.

The first two pictures are about a year after I got it but still looks exactly how I got it. The third is after I put on the spec '99 tail lights. The last picture is from last week. It needed a new clutch. I'm still trying to figure out if I should or want to do anything else while the transmission is out.

While the tranny is out I recommend buying a new clutch fork. I didn't replace it when I put a new clutch in. A year later the clutch fork broke and I had to take the tranny back out to replace it.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely replace the clutch fork while I have it out.
