FL Old racer with new project

Hi my name is Robert Tanon from Davie, FL.
I've been road racing for over 20 years.
I love the RX-7s and also love Miatas so,
I decided to make me one with a 12A.

Best Regards

It is a great little car. I started drag racing an RX-2 in the late 80's then went to road racing. I raced VW Sciroccos and GTIs, then Honda Civics and CRXs until I sat on a Miata. After that I've been in love with them. My car is an 1997 M edition with a JR Supercharger. This is the one that I will installed the 12A for road racing. This afternoon I disassembled the engine and found the housings in bad shape. Not good. I will need to find them to continue my project.
