So I'm buying my first Rx7 tomorrow. I test drove it the day after x-mas and fell in love. For all you haters out there it does have an LS1/T56 swap It's a '93, black on black R1. 67k miles on the chassis and engine (2002 LS1 with LS6 intake manifold), newly rebuild transmission. This thing is a beast

Interior panels need some restoration. Exterior paint is original and will need a refresh at some point. Otherwise I just need some nice wheels and she'll be looking great! Thanks for having me

Did you hear what happened to him last night? Someone beat him almost to death and Ryan. Now hes in a coma don't know if he's gonna survive its crazy. They don't know who did it but they also took a lot of dam parts too! Its a shame. He's a good dude I was gonna actually have him tune my car next week!

I've know Bob for a while. We built a car for 24 Hours of Lemons together. I wish it happened when me and my boy were there the other night. Whoever did it would have been in for a hell of a surprise. I hope he makes it out okay and they catch the f@ckers who did it

Ryan finally confirmeit was some kid named Nate and his cousins, don't know what the motive is but I don't thin anyone deserves that kind of beating but they're gonna get what's coming to them!

It's sad because Bob was telling me the other night how he is closing the shop in a few weeks due to lack of income. He already sold one lift, has another one spoken for and is selling off what he can. I hope he makes it out of the hospital okay.

As for whoever did this, I hope their retribution is swift and merciless.
