Cym Re-Build Thread
So I assume most of you know that I wrecked my car. Or as some of you call it "Apon'd Out."
Well after months of searching for a rhd shell or roller, I've finally found one!
I'll be starting with the "Re-build" next weekend and I'll have a full thread dedicated to my part out. Both cars are RHD so keep that in mind when asking for parts. PM me if you want anything during the whole process. This will take me the rest of summer and all of winter to do so time to save up for the parts you want! lol
Anyway for right now I'll just post some before and after "apon outing" pics and pics of the roller.
STAY TUNED FOR BUILD PICS!

I Heart *****... Awesome, just transplant that sticker and call it a day.
GL with the build. Hopefully we can get the one we are working on a good motor to get it finished and back on the road.

- Wheels are good, the lips are just rashed up. Nothing a good refinishing won't fix.
- Both cars are rhd so no need to convert anything.
-Yes I'll be painting the SSM Sunburst Yellow (Good eye most people just call it CYM). Full acid dip and restoration. Should be extra clean when done. **crosses fingers**
Thanks!

Ripping thru an S curve with my friend in his Mazdaspeed 3 behind me. He was right behind me and said that he was at a comfortable speed to take the corner and the rx7 can out handle the fwd MS3.. anyway he said my *** just went out. I think I hit a patch of gravel and lost traction. I drifted and ended up over correcting and doing a 180 and ending up in the ditch. Bad times

As for seven stock.. I've been thinking about it, but I'd only go if I find someone with a trailer since that would be a **** ton of miles to put on my "just rebuilt," "reliable" rx7. lol.
Deals Gap for sure though!

This may have already been discussed, but how do you find these RHD RX-7's? Is it cheaper to get them from Canada than from Japan? Is the cost ridiculous to do this?
Sad to see the wreck pictures, but the replacement looks very nice. Good luck.
