Nice, BUT-

How about more shots without the damn shrubs in the way?

My first rotary was a 1980 RX-7, purchased brand-new. Sticker price was $10,300 in late '79. Those were the days...

Holy... wow, talk about a blast from the past, Jeff! I love that pic of you trying to break the hub nut loose. The ZE is still running strong, although it still has idle issues I haven't worked out. I'm about to replace the TB to see if that makes any difference. I wish I could have bought yours when you were selling it... that thing was a beast.

I've actually had my 8 since June of '05, with only a few minor mods so far. I've seen some of your posts and your turbo project is impressive, as per usual. Too bad I can't get your assistance on a a turbo upgrade a couple years down the road.

Looks incredible. Does it handle better in terms of stability and taking turns?

Yes, I can see how it would handle better because of wider diameter.

Do you use it as a daily car. I more and more want to drive my RX-7 but there are a couple of factors.

1. Mainly, everyone wants to right away race. Even grannies in their whatevers.

2. There is no peace of mind when you park an RX-7 in a shopping mall and go inside to shop.
