the 3rd gens look so nice. ill trade you.

 

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...

 

Yes

 

looks good

 

Hey! I know that car! I didn't know you bought an '8, Hank!
That ZE motor swap was fun!



It came out well:


I miss mine:

 

those rx-7s look so well maintained. i want it.

 

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.

 

Took some more RX-7 pics today.

 

2 More here. Took these when the light was changing so not the perfect pictures.

 

Just posted some more today. No shrubs this time. Right above this post.

 

my 4x4 with 18 inch RAYS wheels

 

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

 

yes it does, theyr 9.5 inches in the back and 8.5 in the front my tires are 285R and 255f, also it has Tein coil overs, but it is a really hard ride

 

another pic fron 3/4 view

 

This picture shows a better view of the RX-7.

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.

 

Nope, not a daily driver, in fact I just satarted to take it apart for a 20b conversion
