I finally cleaned my RX7, it was pretty dirty since I bought, looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a year.

I didn't get a chance to see if they point straight or not. Been dealing with the i7 build and the Supra death. I think I missed the RPNW meet tonight and I wanted to go.

im going to need to cut a section an inch or two high and as wide as the intercooler out of the bashbar to raise it off the ground a bit. does anyone know how effective this would be or if i should just remove the bumper support altogether?

Just cut the bumper support as high as you need to with a sabre baw or a cutoff wheel. Just don't remove it altogether. Just for the sake of keeping it in one piece next time someone whacks the front of the car parking or something. Just my 2 euro cents.

Today I started some body work finally. Got the front bumper off and popped the dent out of the front panel and got the drivers side fender removed and sanded off a bunch of old primer and started banging the fender back in to shape. Hopefully I can get it finished up tomorrow.

Now if only I could get the car to run. Then it would make it worth the work.
