My 7s

Bought an 81 3 days before HS graduation in 93. Would still have her if I didn't get dumb 3 years later in college and decide I needed a car payment.
Bought a 93 in 2000 with a blown engine and salvage title for 8k. Would still have her if it wasn't for a friend giving me 14,500 for her 6 months later.
Now I need another...
Actually 2
I want another 1st G
and another 3rd G

Got my 'New' 1st Gen last week. 1980 model. She has great bones but needs a lot of work. I can't wait to get started!

I been looking for 95 rx-7 but man they are expensive still. See to many 93's around which we all know had the most problems and the 94's is hard to find. I am driving a Mazda 6 '03 before the mazdaspeed was release in '05 ><

Just saying hello. Saw that you were from MS. I'm from Biloxi. Just bought my 1985 RX-7 yesterday. I don't know anyone else around here that's got one so it's cool to see someone from the same state, even if it's halfway on the other end!

Hello N. Ortolano,
Yeah, I don't know why, but you don't see very many RX-7s at all anymore in MS or TN. Guess that's why RX-7 Heaven Closed up. I miss Mike. He did my engine swap in my 93 a few years back.

Hey Guys.
My 1980 has a seized engine. I was thinking carbon lock, but the MMO trick didn't work at all. I haven't tried ATF or Seafoam yet, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to rebuild. Any ideas? I think the rebuild will actually be pretty fun, but if I don't have to do it that will be even better. Let me know what you think.
Thanks
