From SVX to RX7
Hello,
I'm new to the forum but not to rotaries. I have grown up along with a 1993 RX7 which my dad owns. He bought it new from the dealership, and has put only 7,xxx miles on it since. When I was a lot younger I called it the "red sports car."
I seem to have a thing for unusual cars, because my first car (now garage queen) was a 1992 Subaru SVX LS-L. My dad and I restored it, and now I am always worried about stupid people around me hurting it. So I had to buy a new Daily driver for school. Ended up getting a 1989 gxl with 145,xxx. the engine had been rebuilt and ported at about 110,000. My plan is to restore this one eventually, but drive the crap out of it until that happens.

Do you know who did your rebuild? Good luck with the car and i hope it doesn't give you trouble any time soon.

Nice one, My '85 gsl-se first gen has 220,000 miles on the original 13b 6 port and has never been rebuilt. I was thinking of dropping a turboII engine into it for more power but i think i'll rebuild it soon.

I don't know exactly who it was, but it was someone around the Kansas Oklahoma area. Whoever it was sure knew what he was doing, because the engine is sweet.
