Default The "new" toy is home

Wooooo!!! So very different from the G35.




Me test fitting myself in it...and anticipating the awesome rotary power!!!!



From 3.5l torquey V6 to just over 1/3rd the engine capacity.



Streetported freshly rebuilt motor with 4000kms on it making 177hp to the wheels. Down on power compared to the G35, but it'll be good times nonetheless. Only modifications for the season will be a radiator, water temp and oil pressure gauges.

Well, I think it's just a personal thing. When I was a little kid, my neighbour had a 1st gen and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Since then, I've always wanted an rx7. There's also just something about the rotary I like that I can't put into words. The other factor is that I was looking for a light rwd closed roof track car.

^ Once again, congrats on the neat track toy.

You really should tell 'em about your conversation in trying to insure this thing.

2600lbs right now. Will be getting it down to 2500 over the year. Not a whole lot lighter than an S2k but HUGE diff from the G35.

So if you hear the sound of a horrible chainsaw coming from my general direction, you know the cause.
