My New '85 RX-7
Hello All! My name is Jonathan, I live in Cincinnati, OH. My friends dad bought this car for him back when we were both 15 (6 years ago) and he never even took it out of the garage. He was afraid to learn how to drive a 5 speed even though I told him it really wasn't that hard.
I fell in love with this car when we were 16 and I was trying to teach him how to drive it. I then realized that I wanted one really bad but didn't know how reliable the rotary's were (silly me).
5 years later, the car still sat in the garage where I last parked it, so I went in and spoke with my friends dad. He told me that if I could get it out of there it would be mine for $1,000. I went to start it and after a little battery charging it fired up!! It ran pretty rough this time but I"m sure its because the gas is really old and it needs a good tune.
The car is clean clean clean and only has 85,000 miles on it. Below are some pics while the car was still on the trailer, I will get some better ones a bit later.

Not really any updates as of right now. I have the carb pulled off and have a Sterling in the process of being built. I also have to go pick up my full RB racing exhaust for it next weekend. I can't wait for it to be running again!
