Sunday between 12am and 4am it was stolen from the driveway. I think someone might have followed me. I reported it stolen 4.30 I was pissed. Got a call around 7am saying they found the car but it was flipped on pinehurst.

ouch. NObody got caught?

Looks like it's time to call around and find out if anyone went to the hospital over a car injury.

Any witnesses? pics? Police Report?

I'm taking pictures of the car right now, I got it back Monday morning, paid 400 to get it. It sucks when you only have liability insurance. Body is done, engine seems fine but when I tried to start it smoke filled the air.

My shocks and exhaust are fine, I'm missing the strut bar that I had in the trunk along with tools. Rims are scratched up but still usable.

Yup that was it...
nobody caught, I don't even think they finger printed the car.

There is a GTU for sale in santa cruz, I'm leave to look at it soon.

...the only thing is that they didn't make a GTU in 87' LOL

looks like it has a sunroof. Call and ask unless you just want any 7 to drop your TII stuff into.

Yeh, thats my plan. Build up the TII motor and drop it in the GTU or GXL whatever that car is. I'm looking for a miata to mess with until I finish the rx7.

Make sure you all get full coverage on your 7s. Or was I the only one with it. =]

think you're the only one. Liability said "sorry sir" and never talked to me again.

How much did the insurance cover?

You can go with an 87 SE or even an 86 BASE for the lightest car possible. (2600lbs stock)

You looking into an NA or NB?


PSSSSSSSSST! drop your TII stuff in the miata. shhh

BTW, I thought I'd let you know.
My wife hates S4's. She hated my old GXL and has hated on S4s since I can remember. When we went to the Emeryville meet she told me that your S4 was the best looking S4 she's ever seen. That color just made everything she dislikes about the S4 better.

Here is a picture of my first rx7,
1986 sport no sunroof "factory RACE CLSD" blue.
This picture is back from '95

I miss that car but it's what got me started.
That is the lightest model with all the bells.

Man Jman...that sucks to the fullest. There was another guy that flipped his FC but his damage wasnt like that. But then again we dont know how this ******* thief was driving. And since when did FCs started to get stolen!?!??!!? I got away from Honda for this main reason....should I put some kind of security on my car now

EDIT: just to show some sympathy, I had a fuel cut switch on my old civic. And the day I forget to flip it, it gets stolen. But its okay now, I own a 7. That was a POS honda civic.
