Here is my new daily driver i just picked up.

1984 Mazda RX-7. It's the first gen FB model. It has the 12A rotary. Sidedraft carburator, aftermarket intake manifold, aftermarket header. Its a bit rough but the body is in good shape and it runs like a top.

As of right now this is strictly a daily driver so i can park the EM2 for the rebuild. Down the road i'll either sell the RX7 or fix it up as a road race or drift car.

Plans include a general cleaning up. some paint. and maybe a few things like rims, seats.

If i decided to make a project out of this down the road i can pull the rotary and turn the cross member 180degrees and drop a Ford 302 (Fox body mustang 5.0L) in with no problems. i've heard rumors of hte stock rear end handling over 800hp reliably out of a supercharged 302.

Anyway, onto a few pictures

i'm sure i'll be needing a few things for it. right now i've got to figure out whats wrong with the turn signals. i think its the relay cuz its not even clicking but from what i've read its a bitch to get to. oh well the fun of working on cars right? lol

Dan, repeat this to yourself everytime you get in that car. "I do not need more than two project cars". Your EM2 and Bri's rex are enough. I almost ended up pouring time and effort into Piggy, but came to my senses.

Nice DD pickup though!

i tell myself that everyday clint!

no i pulled the ecu (which is really just the flasher and turn signal circuit board) and couldnt get it to work. ive read you can fix them but i couldnt see what was broken. so i'm still on the hunt for the problem.
