Wheels must be on backwards.

Looks more beatup than I originally thought.

Looks better than i thought actually, and for the price its a steal if it runs. Wheels are oddly on correctly >.> though they are labeled on the insides R and L. Needs some sanding to derust and a fresh coat of primer and itd be set (o_O)b

I wish it was an s5 or turbo even. Anyway, this SAFC-ii isn't helping me as much as I'd like with fuel consumption. I'm somewhere around 250 a tank, I'm guessing.

Really? They're on the same way mine are but mine are the 86 version (face the opposite way and are rough surfaced) and mine are on correct. Not that it matters though.

SAFC's don't help as much as people think. They're mainly good for leaning out the top end. I would say something around 1-2mpg during normal driving conditions.

doesn't it just suck when your girlfriend lives 30-40 miles from your house,and you drive an RX-7 that gets 17-20 MPG?

She probably lives 15ish and I don't think I even get that good of gas mileage. I probably would if I didn't have fun driving.

We're meeting next weekend at the skatepark, but if you want to hang out in Knoxville this weekend let us know.

Morris, is your FD silver?

If you are asking where morristown is it's between Knoxville and Kingsport/Johnson City/Bristol. The meetings are in Knoxville though.

"buuuuuurrrrrrrrrAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR....pop pop
