My 1980 MAZDA RX7 which I still enjoy today. Bought it used in 1983. You do the math!

Stop with the liters and just use gallons already. Makes my head hurt doing the conversion while I read. 

Wheres David? Its a jeep article. I’m confused.

Doesn’t the new mid engine vette deserve a mention? Maybe its slightly less than 500HP? 

Your name is one of my cars I want to get. 65 Galaxy 2 door with the big 490 in it. Tell me about yours.

Had the same exact thing happen on a flight from Charlotte to Denver. Guy wanted be to trade my aisle seat with his wifes window seat across the other side of the plane. I looked at him and said would you if you were me? Enuf said. 

My first car after getting out of school, which I bought used and still have it.

The answer is replace all the lights with LED equivalents. Problem solved and easier on the old wiring. Will need a digital flasher for the full conversion.

No first gen ever had a rack from the factory.

Nice plan. Looking forward to the build threads on the rx7 club site.

“...precursor to the stout and beloved 13B. It might run, ...”

Got my Rx7 with a low, low interest rate of 19% on $7,200.00 loan. 

That pacer calls me for some reason. Its still ugly as when they first came out but man would it be fun to tool around in. I could grow plants in the back of it.

For that coin you could have a nice, reliable 1st gen RX7. Just sayin’.

Came here say this. The southeast has a ton of car culture lurking everywhere. Why do you think Tom Cotter runs around here looking for barn finds all the time. 

Its not spitting fire so can’t be a rotary. I would go with the I6 theory. Its got to be an engine thats almost done in development to have it in a mule and on the ring. I doubt its the a new rotray or range extender yet. 

Mine does. 80 RX7 with RacingBeat SP exhaust setup and modified intake and ignition. Not ported so doesn’t make 285 HP. That must be a serious port on that RX2 or the HP is a lie. If I remember right the max most get from a ported 12A is 220 bhp. I could be mistaken though.

Nice SP. Yours?

And you all make fun of RX7s drinking oil. I wonder how many engines will get toasted because Chad never checked his oil?

Its a crap job and isn’t worth the asking price.
