Get with charles (jfaplanet) as he has a 85 GSL for sale for $1200 with new paint.
It is a friends of his who is having to sell. I am sure it will sell if you offer $1000

Basically man, I got an 04 ZX-6R and forgot about cars there for a little Now that I had my fill I realized I need a car again Mine decided to go one rotor on me then just die completely, I never did put another engine back in her. I am hoping to leave this weekend but I doubt that will happen so I guess I have a couple of weeks

Damn, I want a Ninja. I'd trade my 85 GSL but my future wife would KILL me That and I'm pretty attached as well. I sold that knocking Supra a year ago and have been all rotary ever since.

They are a blast man, just crank the handle and you are instantly doing faster then any posted speed in the US I love them, but nonetheless I have to go back to cars for now
I just need to find out if I can swap an S4 into my car now

Yeah that's my woman... the Cheeto is our first born. It was bright friggin' orange when I got it, hence the name. I still have the TII as well... it's now... purple.

You hit an SUV doing 70+ and you're only missing the fairings?? You should be missing a head! How messed up was everything else?

Man I am a walking miracle, my neck was out of place from smacking his back glass with it and my knee hurt from denting his hatch I got over all that with in a month I am not even sore now Nothing else really happened to the bike, it just tore the fairings apart, the headlights, guage cluster, and right side pegs
But she runs perfect

Yeah you're pretty lucky to walk away from that. So is your bike.

I remember the primer black, that was quite a while ago. The TII is technically Black Cherry Metallic to match the first Shinka RX-8's but that's pretty much just purple.

Curious... where did the seat and tail on the bike end up?

That is a beautiful color, I was at the Mazda in Knoxville last year and saw one there and sat in it, it was gorgeous

They are both in my Garage, the front seat is perfect, the rear seat was non existent it instead had a cowl on it (like for racing, just a plastic piece basically, better aero) and the tail section is cracked and scuffed

Yea it is hard to believe but I have had my baby (the 7) for like 5 years now, at least

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the shear physics of that accident you had. 5 years is a long time to have a car these days. I've had my TII for about 3.5 years now and the FB for 2.5.

I plan on keeping her for awhile, eventually she will run again Yea it took me a couple of weeks to realize how fast I was going and then a dead stop on the back of his SUV, if I somehow could see a video of it happening then I would swear that I would have been dead. All I know is God does not want me dead yet

Yeah, 12a's aren't hard to come by. Or you could go to a 13b.

I'd build you an engine but you'd still have to come up with a core to build from, or the stuff to put on an FC block and make it run in your 1gen...
