need a good, clean pic of 86-88 na engine, and engine fire pics

I am doing a report on engineering failures. Seeing as I love RX-7's, I figured I may as well go with a topic I had some interest in, so I wrote my paper on the engineering failure of the pulsation dampener.
Anyway, this is a formal university writeup, 16 pages in length (just finished), and diagrams for clarity are needed in the report.
I have a single pic off mazdatrix of engine damage, a couple of the PD, but I need a some more pics of engine fires. Also, pictures of clean engine bays (86-88 to match the mazdatrix website pic would be best) to show what the engine is supposed to look like befiore a fire would be perfect.
So here's your chance to flash your baby!
(need them asap, too)

I have one, but it's too large (218k) to attach, even zipped. How do I display the image on my post, or reduce the file size?

Do you have an image editor, like Adobe Photoshop?

If you do just open the image in your photo editor, and adjust the image size. You can also save a copy of the image as a .jpg file, and select a higher form of compression.

If you would like I can edit the photo for you. PM me if you need some help.

Yo,


Gah, that red FC kinda looks like mine, only extra crispy. I thought the Series 5 fixed the problem? It looks like a later model GXL with those rims...

One of the reasons I always carry my halon fire extinguisher.

wow, thanks. Solodrift's engine bay was perfect, and those photos from wicked 7 are exactly what I wanted. I sued them, but didn't have time to post until now.
You guys rock.
