i was searching for exactly how a rotary engine works and i ran across a pic of it on google search and it turned out to be a .gif image as well.

im picking up my first rx7 sunday for 900. its all decked out and clean as a whistle. 1 spot of rust that i seen and that was all. most of the interior is there, but not all installed. all emissions garbage has been removed but still has a high flow cat but i hate the sound from it so its coming off for a thrush glasspack. its also got a jdm 12a swapped into it and i love the feel of power from it. much better than my civic by far. lsd equiped, many spare parts, 5 speed. brand new diamond racing rims with new tires all around!!! what more could i ask for!!!! im syked to get this thing. by far the best purchase ive made in my life so far, vehicle wise lol.

cliff notes:
me + decked out rx7 =

im not sure. i do know its n/a at the time and feels great otherwise. i want to run it n/a for this summer and maybe piece together a kit for it over this next winter. for what it is right now, its a very fun car to drive. the power is there when ya want it and the exhaust note to go with it. i still think it sounds a bit odd, lol. not my traditional v8 powered rwd car.

No vid I'm assuming... I don't think I've seen this hmt'er in action yet
Only vid I got is ----: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0YYJM_9MfM

The miata is HMT #5. I've put vids up of most the others over the years.

I just got out the garage putting on some AGX's and Tein S-Tech or whatever springs. Needed soft springs because the roads here suck *****. Installed a Hard Dog M2 Sport w/single diagonal last weekend. Gotta clean it up and take some pics now.
