Default One clean RX-7

I just barely captured this beautiful RX-7 one-handed on my camera as I was driving through town and had to share it. I haven't seen it before today,but then again we just had Cool April Nights a few weeks ago and I'm still seeing a lot of classic street cars out on the road. I wish I could have talked with the owner for a few minutes but he was about to turn right a few seconds after I got close enough for a shot. I don't think I've seen in person another RX-7 this nice.

FC Rx7's are so cool. I'd want one if I wasn't so rotarded. Wonder if it was a tII or just n/a? Looks n/a, but who knows!

Those are super rare in that condition. Most are beat to crap. Nice color too

BTW, this is the place to spend lots of imaginary money.

Of course it needs CCW C10s but I can go that later.

There are many times I wish I build an LSxFD instead of my car.

I love FCs...and FDs. Hell, my first car was a 91 GTU FC.

I will have another one eventually.

I had a beat-to-crap FC for a while in college. It was a sharp-handling gutless car with lots of gremlins (probably because it was beat to crap and had a zillion miles on it). It was fun, but my least favorite RX-7. For daily hooning I preferred my '84 GSL-SE with bald tires, rusted out exhaust, and scary-sloppy steering. Man that thing was fun...

I rode in an LS3-swapped FD last weekend... Sweet Tap-Dancing Jesus that thing was quick...

Mine when I sold it. I almost regret selling it too. Almost.

On my way to Office Depot today I spotted yet another gorgeous RX7, and this one's definitely turbo'd. Owner was no where in sight so I couldn't get any info about its build. At least I was able to get a few photos on my cell phone. Wheels are ASDs.

Hah, I love it that this forum is full of ex-RX-7 owners. I think I'll probably pick up another one soon. I fit better in them than in my NB.

Pretty sure I'll be doing an LSx build though, never had much luck with turbo rotaries, they seemed to have a 10-20,000 mile max and I commute a lot for work.
