    Default Finally have an Rx7 with real balls

    Yeah i used to drive an 88 GTU. If any of you have gone to the drift fury events you've probably seen it. It was red, had a jacked up rear quarter panel, and it was loud..
    Heres a picture of it


    Sold it early this year. Just got another Rx7. This time, i bought a Turbo II like i've been dying to get.
    Its pulls really hard. Looks stock as a rock on the outside for now, but the motor was fully built by Juan Del Gado (spelling??), and has lots of work done to it...
    Can't wait to get it to a drift event.



    The Turbo is decent...


    I need a better radiator... But im working on it.

    I'll get some more pictures tonight or something. But yeah, it's pretty clean, and its fast.

    I'm joking son.

    Nice to see you got a nice ride.

    A turbo II is one of the cars I'd love to own.

    LoL yeah no hubcaps. I had all the stock wheels on it, but i picked up a nail in one and had a set (the ones you see on the rear) with new tires on them anyway so i tossed them on.

    So close!
    Rear wheels are MK4 non turbo supra wheels. I actually have the other two just have to get tires on them, and its probably the set i'll be running for a while as street wheels. 16x8 will be on the front, and the other two are 16x9 for the rear.

    Saving for baller wheels after i get coilovers and get my seat in.

    Hopefully this one will have the same never dying spirit of the red one. I swear even Tyler couldn't have killed the red one.

    Bahahaha I hope so tooo!!! That car never died!!

    And yeah Tyler should have bought it hahaha. That way he would have had a car that always ran!!

    As a matter of fact, the old red car STILL RUNS. They guy who bought it from me keeps it in his backyard, and starts it up every so often to go jump it and shit. Kind of sad , but the motor is still running strong
