2007 Photo Shoot
Gave the Rx-7 a little bit of attention. Got some nice pics. Tell me what you think.
Oh and I know it doesn't look the best in the world, but it IS clean, just a little old. I also haven't taken the time to post edit yet either., Expect better touch ups of these photos tomorrow.

Nice Turbo 2! I have an '88 turbo 2 (tenth anniversary edition) and I love it. I hope to get some good pics of mine posted up here as well when I get done with it.
I did notice one thing though, I'm pretty sure that the rims are mounted incorrectly. The turbo rims had the spoke pattern which required the rims to stay on a certain side of the car. I had problems with this whenever I would get new tires where they would rotate the tires front to back and side to side. It clearly says on the rim which side of the car that they go on but they never seemed to notice.
You said that the engine was stock, but have you done anything to the exhaust? I have a full racing beat exhaust on mine which had an unbelievable effect on its overall performance. Plus it sounds sweet! I also have an HKS intake system which helps out as well. Nothing too spectacular, I just wanted to free up its ability to breathe. Again, nice car!

Looking good. This stirs up memories of my '89. I had the same color complete with the plastic front clip faded a little different than the metal body. I miss it.
Like Shinka/10AE said looks like the wheels need to swap sides but is probably not a big deal as long as the tread pattern is correct.
How does the interior look? I think these FC's have some of the best interior layouts. It fit me like a glove with everything within perfect reach.

Thanks for the comments. I know the car could use some things but I am only 17 and strapped for cash. just made due with what I could. The priority now is to get the power windows working, and start saving for a engine, tranny, and differential rebuild. THEN I'll do paint.

I covered them in the same material I used to red out my brake lights. I bought the "red-out" kit on Fleebay....easy as heck on the corners, but rather a pain in the A$$ on the rear taillights.
