my first rx7

i bought it to accompany my fleet of neons at the local rallys... read in that the rwd section is not competitive and i want to win

and the story of how i came to be with it:
the guy who owned it before me (2nd owner) had recently rebuilt the engine (13b na) blew the trans and rear diff so he decided he was going to to it himself. so he bought another trans and had it rebuilt and bought a 1.5 way lsd for it. he told me that he looked into it and decided it would be too hard so decided to sell the car.

i walked by and offered him $300 for it (it had little to no rust and he included all the parts) and i ran away before he could change his mind.

that was friday and all i have left to do is bolt up the axles! and fill the trans with fluid

i really wanted an earlier one because i like the look but i like my 87 alot so far


btw removing the rear diff is something i never want to do again

Its easiest to drop the whole rear subframe and remove the diff that way.
