My new car.
Hrm, I was a bit lazy on this. Or maybe not, I dunno... I finally got a T2.... Need to post up the pics of it. Right now it's at a friend's house waiting on a rebuild and some stuff... But I'm glad to have the car after trying to get one and being repeatedly screwed out of deals one way or another for the past ~7 months.
I'd post the pics up here, but I've already got them somewhere, so I'll just be lazy and link it here.

Been waiting a long time to be able to make the post about my RX7, hahaha. I'll bump this thread in the future when I get the car back and can get pics of it being fully together.

Yes indeed.. Stole one stock wheel.. No clue why. What an idiot. Oh well, at least I only have to replace one 
And yes, the spare tire looks so bad on it. That's why I when I was making an avatar, I didn't look at a single pic from the driver's side, heh.

Oh yeah, best deal I've had yet I guess 
Eh, T2s only had spoilers in 88 and later I think.
Well... Rebuild kit arrived today If my other car wasn't down at the moment, I'd have deposited a check I've been meaning to for a while, and made sure I had the money in checking to order a new clutch....

Bringing this thread back as I once said I would.... I took these pics over winter break.... And got them on the computer at the beginning of the week... So here's the car with the engine in it, and washed.
Yes, I know the driver's front tire is polished instead of painted like the rest, and the spokes are facing the wrong direction. Only 2 of the tires I got from my friend had good tread on them..... I was too lazy to put the other one, which was the right one on when I got home. I'll do that.......sometime.

By brown interior, do you mean the interior's color? Or?
Anyway... Back to that question about the brake lights and all... I was wondering.... Would it be as simple as sanding off the areas with white... And the white would then be gone leaving black? And then putting some clearcoat back over it? Or would I have to repaint after sanding lots.... Or? COurse, you can't really notice the white when the lights were wet.. I made sure to get the pics quickly after spraying the car off, heh.

Running great. Excellent compression. I haven't actually had the compression checked, but I've had no problems flooding at all. And I've stalled it a time or two... Started right back up afterwards pretty much. I've got over 600miles right now, but been kind of busy with getting back into the college flow... or whatever.
Oh yes, and interestingly enough... A good while back I didn't like gold cars and stuff, didn't want to get one if I could avoid it... But this one in person looks fine. It doesn't seem to bug me like the other cars. Though I'm thinking if it was like an S5 and had matching trim color.. Maybe it would then. Not sure though. But I'm pretty happy with the color of it actually

Looks awesome, Tyler! I can't wait to see it at a meet! I'm glad you finally got one. Time for the Lowe's Motorsports BOV mod.
BTW, let me know when you decide to upgrade those wheels to some 5Zigens. LOL. I'll hook you up!

I still want one of those electronic BOVs for my Honda I'd drive around doing it like 500 times and only at inappropriate times. Fun times....
