the seizatar was great, you should bring that back.

I had a photo copy of the title laying around here somewhere, I still have pictures of it. Anywho, I sold it to 2ndgenv8rx-7 on here for $1300. It has 78,627 miles on it when I got it, it was a great little car, just slow as *****. I used it to purchase my TII.
Well, welcome back once again, and good luck with your current project. The rx-7 community is a small world after all.

And glad to see that another rotorhead got a hold of that car and put it to good use (making money from it to buy a t2)
And yes, my wallet is already in debt from buying this car. Ha.
And yeah, i plan on autocrossing, because it's the cheapest form of legal racing. Buy some light wheels, sticky tires, and just get some other parts like brakes, lightweight flywheel, engine mods etc.
I think my first mods will be a pair of 720s, a RTek 1.7 and some Defi boost and temp gauges (D-Gauges). I actually think I am going to mount them like Blue TII's, very badass
Oh, and some Sylvania Hyperwhites.Then maybe a TID and downpipe and work on handling, no catback!!!! gotta preserve that engine. Although I think I want to do other engine mods other than bolt ons, like port match the TB UIM, and LIM and knifedge the TB a little, not sure if I want to remove the double throttles, might be nice since it is a daily driver.
I eventually want to get a used turbo and get the parts for a hybrid over time and just have it rebuilt/assembled/balanced. Like a Super H, or V trim t04b.
And I'm going to keep AC for now, I bared the 118 degree summers with no ac in my FB, but I'll see how it is with AC. I bet I won't even be able to use it most of the time because of being worried about overheating, bleh.
I will be modding slowly as I'm fairly broke as is
Maybe I can get a second job for the fcs sake. I was thinking pizza delivery, make the FC work for her money. Decent money for no talent, but racks up miles.Only time will tell!!!!!!
