Just drove my 83 gsl 1600 miles from Wenatchee WA to Laramie WY for school. Not much fun with 4.93 gears, 400+ lbs worth of **** in the car, bad tie rod end, constantly overheating (by the end of the drive, I was running 80/10 water to antifreeze with the other 10 being water wetter... 230 degrees most of the trip), spark plugs were arcing and making it miss, carb vacuum leak... I'd just finished swapping my RX-3's motor into my 83 because the 3 didn't have much for brakes and I had to drive 1600 miles. Bad call. We re used the massively fucked intake to carb gasket and just siliconed the hell out of it. The rad in the rx7 had a history of problems. The motor was only in the car for a day before I had to leave town.
Now residing at 7000 feet, I can't the thing to run right to save my life. *praying* Just last through winter, pleeeease! It's only 8 months, right?

Yup, i started my odometer over right before i left my driveway. I was going from Calgary to a small town, two hours east of Regina, called Melville.
When i pulled in her driveway, my odometer was at 096 (rolled once)

I'm not quite sure how many k's from Saskatoon to Vancouver though.

when i bought mine i went from indiana to north carolina. Was quite a trip, engine was shot and barely made it over the mountains. Was about 800 miles or so. Drifted down the mountain pretty good though.
