The car runs top notch, idles good and everything.

Car needed a Driveshaft to move, so i found one on CL locally, installed it, and today it moved on its own will up and down the street like it should. Just to see how it felt, got it for really cheap...

Next move was gonna be brake master cylinder, but that maybe be overshadowed by the 5spd conversion sooner than later. Instead of wasting money on a brake master cylinder..

My plan with this car is a fun, car that i can take out and beat on...after driving a big heavy low boat for the past year and a half, im going crazy.

5spd conversion
Sunroof needs replacing
Suspension is toast
Wheels/Tires
Brakes need work
New Exhaust
Needs to be repainted, has spray paint job

but the ole 13b runs good which was my biggest worry....

I went to this little RX-7 grave yard today, they only had one FC. Not sure if you could use any of the parts but its worth taking a look at.

Let me know if you want the address :goodjob:

its some custom exhaust the previous owner got put together. It looks like just a stock size rear section, with some cannons welded on it. sounds decent, just not my style. Ill trade for ur stock rear section..
