RX7 Owners UNITE!

Noticed their are a lot more rx7 owners here than I thought. I have been a long time lurker here and dont post much but we should get a thread started for rx7 owners.

Here is my baby. I had her posted up on nsxprime looking to sell it or for a trade but seams like the market for a modified 7 is not bringing in what it used too It has a rebuilt motor and twins by Pettit Racing, including intake, downpipe and hks carbon Ti exhaust. Lots of exterior and audio mods as well.

ex-FD owner here as well. had a white base 94 FD a few years ago. mostly stock except catback, DP. gotta love the handling and light weight feel. it was too much trouble fixing it all the time so when engine was on its way out, i opted to sell it.

why would you be fixing it all of the time with only a turbo back?

I always loved the FD, just don't know too much about them

all thats left is minor interior work, need to buy seats

and paint--- which is going to be $$$

looking to pump like 350hp nothing crazy but enough as these cars are pretty light

i want something reliable that i can enjoy and not worry about breaking down

i had a 1st gen in the 80's when i was in high school and always loved how the Imsa cars looked. just did not have enough dollars to build it

Scrub, I feel like everytime I see your car it has a new set of wheels or aero.
