1990 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II

Pistons are for sissies.

Hot, my friends dad used to have a white convertible rx-7. Looks much better in black IMO.

lucky SOB..i want one so bad.

friend of mine has one, stock exhaust is very nice sounding, its not turbo, but its hella fast. Some of my friends make fun of his wing cuz it squeaks like styrofoam when you pull and squeeze on it, very nice car tho, love it.

cool car, i like that 80's look that the FC, and Mk3 supra have

thats funny, I looked into the buying the same FC. w00t for another Celica brother moving to FC's.

Nice car. I LOVE the first gen versions. >>

i bought a 1st gen RX7, 1981 model, with a 12B carb'ed engine to learn stick

you should see the video of what my friends and i did to it.

I on the other hand went from an FC to Celica... cause I know better... ha!

Good luck with it. Rotaries aren't exactly know for their problem free operation, especially the turbo'ed ones... so enjoy it while it lasts.

If it breaks I'll fix it, I'll either do it myself or take a wheelbarrow of cash to the Mazda dealer. Doesn't matter to me!

They're also a lot better handling and much faster then a celica

there's one in my area that's a black turbo 7 sitting in a backyard for over 5-6 years now. if i didn't have my celi, i'd probably ask the guy to sell it to me. i'm not sure if it runs though.. but i think i like the comfort of a celica better. besides, rx7s are too boxy inside and out for me but they sure are fast.

I'm trying to buy a real nice one right now w/ tein coilovers and several Blitz parts. AE10 baby, yay! Now if I could just sell my car...

its about 5 gigs of footage.

basically, we stripped the interior and spray painted it all wierd colors, and i drove the hell out of it, on road and off road. it did well considering it was missing one of the rear struts.

then it was the school car show, and i entered it as pile'o'junk, and won

oh yea, i let about 15 guys beat on the car with hammers, they jumped from the roof and landed on the hood, picked the car up about 5 feet and dropped it, during the car show

also got video of my relevancy teacher kicking it and the school principal keying it.

after that beating, the car still ran and drove.

then my friends and i recieved our last school project as high school students, so of course we had to go out with a bang.

the project was based on the book 1984. we used the car in chase scenes, but for some extra comedy, we painted it like the grand tourino from starsky and hutch and after getting some footage of the car jumping and stuff, we piled all 6 guys that were part of the project onto the car and drove past a stationary video camera and used that footage as the footage to run when running the credits.

then, for those of you that saw the starsky and hutch movie, we made a Sweet Emotion reel. i was drifting in dirt and doing donuts getting as high as 4th gear.

the fun stopped when i hit a mound of dirt so hard that the seatbelt broke.

then i took the car, still running, to a junkyard

it had to be the best $500 i ever spent. typing all this out makes me want to do it again.

lol, I got a little tear. >>

If I could find a running one for $500... I'd have to pick it up.

nice pickup man, im going to skip the whole fc and just move to the FD when i move into a house with somefriends. Ill never trust leaving an FD outside without a garage.
