So I got myself a RX7
 

1989 RX7 GXL 145,xxx

Today I went out and bought this from a local guy... it should be fun.:)

It's got a rebuilt and ported 13B rotary engine, and a great clutch.
cant wait to drive it

I love those. My Dad had one and promised to sell it to me when he was done with it. Next thing I know he trades it in on a Mustang Cobra. I was not happy at all.

I had a 87 and it was nice, but I could not find a mechanic that knew how to work on a rotary engine. Sold it once I got married.:(

I had a 88 turbo, it was blast to drive. Congrats!

Re: So I got myself a RX7
 

Finally got it tagged and ready to drive, took it out for a spin...got sideways in a parking lot. Fun day. :D

Its got its quirks but its an adventure

Re: So I got myself a RX7
 

Does that have a back seat? the pics look like a pair of seat belts but I cant tell.

Re: So I got myself a RX7
 

Nah... the us didn't see many with that option. it does amaze me how much better quality car the svx is. But I do like the 5 speededness of the rx7, and it is a lot faster (and gets sideways easier:D)

Re: So I got myself a RX7
 

So what are the seatbelt-looking strap things in the back?

Nice find, btw. Good, solid RX7s are getting difficult to find it seems like.

Re: So I got myself a RX7
 

I have yet to figure out what those straps are... I think they are to hold a flat tire in the back when your tire blows.

The exterior is rough, but there is NO rust anywhere and I mean ANYWHERE! It doesn't seam to have ever been driven in the rain. It's a really solid car.

There were optional for the 2+2 baby seats. The 2+2 seat would cover the flip up storage area and its not very comfortable

Re: So I got myself a RX7
 

When I bought mine, it did not have rear seats. I was able to find the rear seats at a junk yard. As mentioned, uncomfortable but useful for emergency.
