    Well, I just sold my first gen RX-7. It was an ultra-clean ..car, just 36,000 miles.... sad to see it leave after 4 years of fun!

    But -- I sold it to acquire a Turbo RX-7... this 1st Gen has an mid-80s Cartech bolt-on system that, coupled with some porting, provides well over 300 hp at the crank. Quite a boosted difference!

    Here's a few photos that I took last week...

    Very nice! Every time I hear an RX-7 in the wild, it makes me yearn to own one.

    Post this in the GRM forum, too, btw. Lots of rotary fans over there.

    Wow, that brings back memories. I had one that looked just like that in the early 1990's. Same wheels, same spoiler, same paint job right down to the pinstripe. Man I miss that car.

    Wow, a GSL-SE. My dad once test drove one. Sadly, he didn't buy it. It might have been that color, too.

    Yes, we now have signatures.

    Thx guys! This car had just one owner. I feel fortunate to steward it for the future!
