Amazon can be a middle ground on pricing without necessarily settling for a lower quality part, that $65 Moog ball joint is $27 on Amazon and is eligible for Prime shipping. The only parts I order off of ebay are either OEM Mazda parts from a parts warehouse with good prices and fast shipping or used hard to find…

Sitting at the line also allows you to accelerate into the intersection and then turn so can predict gaps and get through better than if you were stopped dead in the middle of the intersection.
Sadly you’ll have better luck with pictures on the internet. I took my dad to a car show and when looking at some chargers he mentioned that my mom’s satellite would have fit right in. Turns out she had a 73 satellite Sebring in college. I did some research about it and found out that while plenty of chargers from the…
Looks like the process hasn’t changed since the rx7, it isn’t really that bad just takes a bit of patience and maybe a half hour of time if you pull the spark plugs.
After having my FC for awhile I wondered how anyone without basic wrenching skills could deal with the maintenance, then I realized that’s why there aren’t many of them left.
You could almost replace every reference to your 300ZX with FC RX7 and it would match my experience.
I fell in love with RX7's around 2002, mostly because the engine just seemed to make so much sense to my budding engineer mind. Finally a few years ago I decided to see how affordable they were which lead to buying mine.
My grandfather was on Xanax “as needed” for years where as needed for him was once or more a day. The only reason I can imagine why his doctor keep it going so long was because he was an old alcoholic and just wanted to spare him from dealing with his anxiety. It got to the point where he was either having seizures or…
They’re in the same family but white may be the best color for the FC and FD too:
The crazy rotary part of me wants an RE5 almost as bad as a REPU even though I don’t yet ride. I’ve heard of some of the other bikes but they’re so rare this is the first time I’ve seen pics of anything but the RE5.
I ran into that too often when I was looking for mine. Call the seller only to hear, “the engine was rebuilt and then it sat in storage for 10 years before I bought it, it’s running great now”, eh no thanks. Keep an eye out, prices for clean ones have been rising over the last few years.
Now playing
I feel like I’ve heard this sound before:
Hard to believe my 10th Anniversary RX7 is almost 30 now.
Who needs torque and fuel efficiency when you have revs and handling?
Around here they’re driven by a mix of those who hate driving and can’t be bothered to pay attention and those who used to drive a BMW 3 series and aggressively drive their eco status symbol like madmen.
I had one as a rental and was amazed at how much worse it was than the Cirrus I drove in college. It feels a lot like an old Voyager and the transmission is as clunky as someone learning stick.
My worst is pretty mild, though it fits the typical dealer stereotype. I was supporting my then girlfriend in looking for a new car and she had narrowed down her list to something like 4-6 cars with a basic criteria of mid-$20k or less, smaller cars, and relatively fun to drive compared to her ‘98 Corolla, so Mini…
When I was probably 9 or 10 me, her, and probably my sister were headed to our camp (for non-Vermonters a cabin or cottage) and on the maybe 1.25 lane dirt road through swamp someone came barreling at us so fast mom had to bail off the grade and into the swamp to avoid getting hit. In a badass moment she said “good…
For some reason most people here learn the basics and then never consider buying a manual car. So they’re capable of making the car move without stalling out at every light but they haven’t driven enough to be able to do it properly. There are those of us who DD manual cars and won’t break your neck but we’re in the…
