we've pm'd before. she's the toy, not the daily. 12a @105k miles. took off the road about 2 months ago for lsd, mikuni/ported intake mani, rats nest removal, battery relocation, header/mid (im stock exhuast right now minus deleted cat), new steering wheel, coilovers up front, springs in rear.

all that's left is the rats nest to be pulled (dk what to make of the mitsubishi looking part on top of the engine?) & figure out how much gas i have in the tank bc im gonna run mixed and then try to get her started! hard to get motivated in a garage with no heat
i know, i know, im lucky enough to have a garage. but it's not my daily, and my daily is fast enough to keep me happy so it's hard to push myself to get out there and work on er.


did come across this on craigslist today though, tempting
13B RX7 Motor

but we all know how craigslist can be

Its a good deal. I would just bring a compression tester and a battery with you. Just take some jumper cables with you and jump the starter. If you pull even numbers and at lest 80psi it will be a good motor to rebuild

^^Is that yours? It's kind of hard to tell from that pic, is that dip? I'm thinking my car will be darker than that since I'm starting on a matte black base. Something like this I hope which is dipped with the anthracite:

Mike,

I've decided that I hate you and your awesome car, and for being so awesome, you don't deserve my extra FEED lenses...............











































































Just kidding.

I'll get you some pics of both pairs so we can discuss options.

Happy New Year Bitches!!!

Mike

Happy new year!

No sign of more snow ever since that last dusting, so... new summer shoes! Which the color looks a lot like that anthracite plastidip...

Looks great! Of course since you put summer tires on, you're directly responsible for causing it to snow tonight. Thanks for that ;P
