FL New member from SW Florida

Hey guys. My name is Trey Axtell. I am from Ft. Myers FL. I just recently bought a 1993 Mazda RX7 with a LS swap and 4L60E. Its the hinson supercars swap kit. It was in sad shape when I got it but its coming back together nice.

Im here to learn as much as I can about these cars as I know nothing about them. I also need to find some interior parts that I'm missing. The previous owner pointed me here.

Pics of the car. Not much to look at yet. Try not to flame me too hard. Ive only had it for a week!

Yeah, That was the day I got the car. I have since cleaned up the wiring. It was HORRIBLE. That is just the fan wiring. This car was closer to going up in flames than you might think. Check this out....
