New RX-7 Owner!

Hello everybody, I just bought a '89 RX-7 GXL and join the family here! It's 5spd, 78K miles, with a set of R-compound tires, all for $1800. But the car's interior is really messy, with tons of waste paper and empty bottles here and there.

Got to clean the car up when the weather clears here. I won't do that in my garage. It will "contaminate" my house if I do that. Yup, it's that filthy.

I currently have a '96 BMW 328i as my main whip. I did a lotta mod to that car, full suspension swap (H&R sport springs, Tokico shocks/struts, Eibach Sways, all sorts of suspension reinforcements, change most of the old bushings and control arms, tie rods.....) , CAI, short shifters, several sets of wheels, stereo, euro-ellipsoids with angel-eyes....

But I have never touched the rotary before so I'm fairly new here. I hope I could learn more about this RX-7 and about the rotary from you guys. BTW, this car's suspension can be electrically tuned. Whow! That is amazing but it seems not much use 'cause I will ALWAYS tune it to the "SPORT" setting.


Photos are below.
