Always wanted to get orders to Japan when I was in the Marine Corps. I'm sure you're having a great time! Be safe man.

It's beautiful here, and yes tuner heaven! Skylines like crazy everywhere I like em em but too many around only 2 rx7 on my base here myself and a local person. So it would figure the first thing that I need to replace is spark plugs lol will eventually swap the motor and turbo to the three rotation bluebird motor and a single turbo that's bigger(when I get back to the states of course)

This is my baby, she wasn't really well taken care of but that will change. She needs some new body parts and a new door clap as it is stuck shut but she will get there.

Awesome car you've got there. It almost looks completely murdered out minus the wheels. RX-7s look great with that setup.

Nice ride! might be heading to Japan in the next months, are FD parts pretty easy to come by around there in junk yards or tuning shops?
