TX New 1st Gen In Houston

HOLA! Im Ben, for yall that dont know me, and for yall that do im spideyfan6010's brother. I just came across this gem a 85 GSL RX-7 for a measly 500 bucks. The interior is flawless, but the outside could use a touch up in a couple of places. I need the gas tank washed out from the gummy rust debris thats in there. But i also already purchased a 13 gallon fuel cell in the mean time. other than that shes ready to Rock, and roll. AND its on its way to the freebirds meet as we speak, so i will see you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kamanayeeeehhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Thanks. My bro wants to get her running I keep telling him to take his time cause the faster you try to force the car on the road the longer it is going to take.

Lol! Thanks dude.

P.S.- When you and your brother both get your cars running, lets do a mini-meet or something. Once a month just isn't cutting it now that the weather is nice.

Defiantly!!! I want to drive Eva but I don't have an alarm system yet so I can't take her to work. I like the meets every month but it does seem like a LONG stretch from month to month. I am always down for some Freebirds or what ever. Ben still has to name his 7. :P

Flushed the radiator with purple ice, and new coolant
New NGk plugs, and wires
DIff, clutch fluid.
Rebuilding the nikki carb and shedding some unwanted weight off of it.
i plan to put 2nd gen coils, and an oil cooler, this RB exhaust off ebay but im running low on money, getting the paper end of this car ready.

Your pimping now. Get you some of them 70s style mirrors that go on the fender. It looks like kool-aid and sugar. I dont know about that royal purple stuff and other purple stuff you may have washed the gunk thats holding the motor together. Becareful. Just use 2050 catrol. Save your money for cool stuff oils gonna burn up.

yeah? well i guees it all goes under personal preference i like rotaries reaction to Royal P, and i keep a gallon jug of it in my bins at all times, i like it, and i guees ill be a spokesman for it. lol but yeah i stopped there to spend money on getting it passed inspection, registered, plated. by this week. Im washing out the tank today, and starting my rebuild of the nikki carb, so when she fires up shell run strong. i figured that'll keep me from playing with her on the road and give me an excuse to get her legal first. lol
