It's no RX-8 but.....
it's our newest turbo vehicle. We had our first born a week ago and we realized our Mazda 3 hatchback was too small. After wanting a CX-7 for so long and not being able to find one at a good price I finally found one. It's a 2008 GT with 17k on it. I bascially stole it from the dealership. Now I have two turbo vehicles in my garage.

CX-7's are awesome vehicles, CONGRATS!
I don't even have ONE turbo'd car and now you have TWO.

I want to do some things to it but I bought it strictly for my wife. She told me to stay away from under the hood. I'll wait till she goes somewhere and slap some parts on it. Right now I am saving for my BNR upgrade so her car will have to wait. The CX-7 is quick though. Lots of torque at low range.

I probably shouldn't tell you this but BNR has an upgrade for the CX-7 as well....

I thought about springs after I saw the pics but I couldnt get that done without my wife knowing and the FMIC would look really good. I haven't really looked at the engine close enough to know how the piping goes on this car.

Thanks for the kind words guys. The baby and the CX-7 are doing will. The torque upgrade from the 3 to the CX7 is so nice. Window tent comes next week and maybe a Zoom Zoom sticker. Baby steps and I will progress from there. After all my 8 started with just clear corners and now look at it.
