    Default 85 GSL-SE anyone?

    I'm sick and bored at home today so I figured I'd finally start a thread for some of the pics I have of my RX7. It was posted in the 80's car owners thread but I do not want to keep bumping that just because I got new pics or mods.

    It has these mods right now:

    Bonez intake
    Bonez stage 1 brake upgrade
    Jacobs FC1000 ignition
    Jacobs coil packs
    Tokico blue struts
    RP springs (Cut rear)
    RP exhaust
    Mazdaspeed short shifter
    Cusco strut bar
    Suspension Technique adjustable sway bar
    Motegi Trak-Lite 15x7 wheels (still have em)
    Enkei EK32 14x6 wheels (current, no new pics with the new tires)

    Its been a maintenance monster so far. I've replaced a lot of things on it and am still in the process of doing so. My current issue is my front strut cartridge bolts are stripped and the car makes some horrible racket from the front over bumps. Overall though I love the car and the 13b is fun to drive. Its also been reliable so far.

    I used to have a fairly modified GSL-SE. Was a very good, and reliable car. Did pretty well on the track as well. A cage will really tighten the chassis up for you, and Jay at GC has a very good suspension setup for the car.

    Haha, thanks guys. I need to get my interior 100% done and then get it into paint and get that awful window tint off. Should be good to go by the May OSJC meet.

    If it's running, then it's good to go for the March one, as well. Later, QD.

    I have a test I must take for my local PD on the 7th. So I can't make it. If my future didn't depend on this test, I would blow it off, haha.

    Thank you. I love the TrakLites but they don't fit. Some people don't get it, but thats the reason I replaced them. That and the fact that I paid next to nothing for them.
