Hi,my name is Steve.
I just moved to Korea and picked up a '95 RX-7 at auction. I should have more pics to share in the coming weeks, but here it is for now:

Car has approx. 77k miles on it currently.

I'm looking forward to taking it to the local tracks (Taebaek and maybe Yeongnam) and hopefully not wreck

Car is a 1995 Type-R Bathurst. I bought it used and haven't really done anything to it yet except basic maintenance (changed engine, transmission, diff oil, fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, plug wires). Changing fuel filter this week too since it had been sitting for awhile with bad fuel.

Car came with a few mods already:

Body kit, engine damper, hks coilovers, ARC intake, Trust exhaust, momo steering wheel (swapped in a Nardi that's in better shape), shift ****, an inop. coolant temp gauge, and a really loud BOV.

List of things I'm going to do to it: Not a whole lot. Just bought a boost gauge and two MBCs. Going to repaint some parts since the paint job is starting to peel in a few places. Other than that no other plans except for tires and brakes.

Yeah, it's a classy place. Ville right outside CP Carroll.


Went to the shop in Daegu today to get the AST lines to the overflow tank put back on and get a boost gauge installed. Also got the hood repainted and put a new headlight cover on (since the right side flew off on the highway the first day I had it)
