The replacement

so sold the 8, I had various issues with mine 2 transmission rebuilds, 3-4 engines (i forget the count), and various other little things so I finally replaced it with something that will probably be even more of a head ache, but I never said i was smart lol

Before


After
At first I thought it was a r1 but it seems to be lacking the 2nd oil cooler and had leather seats and cruise control (that doesnt work lol) and no sun roof so it may be a base model with a *** load of options put on it afterwars
specs: 3mm seals full balanced engine, stock twins in non sequential setup, ported wastegate(so he says cant tell withotu taking it off), powerfc, greddy front mount and piping, hks bov, 6 puck clutch, greddy exhaust, hks down pipe, tein flex coilovers, bunch of other crap i havent figured out to

this car used to sit outside nearly forgot in a parking lot for a long time and i bought it off him. Car is running perfect the clutch slave and master cylinder was replaced as it failed on me after being used for the first time in a long time(nothing like a surprise as ur clutch pedal getting stuck on the floor) . tint was redone and its starting to look amazing again.

Just remember ... Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning.

the interior needs a little love on a few pieces here and there. Ill take one when i get home.

So far this car is crazy fun , going to get it retuned for 15 psi as it keeps spiking past my 8psi daily setting ~_~

I really dont like how the earlier rx7's look but that is beautiful, wish I could get one. I think it looks better than the 8.

Are those turboIIrotary's retrofits with the E55 shrouds? They look like a bit funky, but at least the projection and cut-off is top notch.

99 spec (or at least the lip) front and new wheels. Do it.
