my newest rx7

Just recently picked up another rx7. This time I scored a beautiful GSLSE, all original paint and body. It came with the riken rims and the factory rims as well, glass sunroof, racingbeat exhaust and mazdatrix short shifter.

Here is how she looks now that I cleaned her up, waxed her and dyed the faded interior parts to the original color.


First the body

Good find bro!!!! I too have used the SEM interior dye in my FB. I actually replaced the top half of the dash with one that was originally brown. Looks like the factory red now.

That is still just a dream, waiting for your results to tempt me.

For this year, gonna do suspension, change gearing to make it more highway friendly again (street racing scene all but eliminated by new task force and track has closed for good), plumb and wire the nitrous, upgrade from the RB street/strip pressure plate to the race plate (their advice), and do my S5 tranny swap.
I'll also swap my steeringbox for a low mileage one I picked up, should hold me off for a bit (respeed r&p kit in my dreams too)

This is a before on the paint, really doesn't show much difference. There were scratches on the other side I touched up, wet sanded and buffed which I neglected to take before and after pics.


Door panels are another story though!




after of the shift **** and boot (no before pic)


I should have taken some good before pics of the rear carpet, shift **** and boot.
