Talking I'm off the wagon and back (1984 pre-purchase celebration)
In 1997 I got into Rx-7s. In 2009 I sold my car and have regretted it since. Well situations have changed and I am in the process of buying a 1984. I am so stoked! It looks almost like the one I had. GTU spoiler. Front air dam, Black! Interior is rough but I can work that out. I should be picking it up at the end of the month when my schedule clears up a bit.

These cars really are addictive. If you do not own a rotary I will tell you that no engine will ever feel right again. The sound and feel just transcends anything you have ever driven.

Damn Im excited.

That sucks, you had to drive 5 hours to look at a car and not buy it, keep looking, the right one will come along

This will deserve a fresh thread. but until then. most everything is there. except the engine and transmission. this will be a full resto. (mod). first thing new paint.
