My 1991 Rx7 TII Build
I purchased my 4th Rx7 in Nashville on 07/07/06. I drove there overnight and picked up the car in between shifts at work. Ended up about 35 minutes late for work the next day. Running on no sleep for a couple days I finished my shift, cruised around in my newly bought Rx7 and drove home for the best rest ever...
I've had many goodtimes with this 7, I've also learned a lot about rotaries over the years. Mainly because this 7 has had more problems than my old 87. I had built my 87 up nicely before losing it to an accident that wasn't my fault. Just glad everyone was okay. I salvaged what I could and put it on my 91 whenever I bought it. Someone out there got some good pickings off my 87 since I couldn't buy it back, didn't have anywhere to put it. It's quite a long story when it comes to my rotary obsession which started when I got a matchbox replica of a FD in 93. Always was a dream car of mine, finally owned my first rotary in 03 and loved everything about it. I won't delve too much into that right now since this is about a certain love in my life, my 91 rx7!! I've spent countless hours and most of my funds trying to perfect my 7's. It's a very rewarding hobby in my opinion. I helped do the bodywork in august 2010 before it was painted by my good friend David Feldman. I currently work at my Dad's automotive repair shop. I have some helpful friends to push it in the shop while I do most of the work. I installed a turbo II engine in it recently and I'm trying to finish it before DGRR 2013. The other day we made a turbo downpipe and I received some connectors for my injectors. The weather is nice today might roll it in the shop and try to finish what I've started haha. I'll post up a few older pics first, forgive me for not posting a build sooner. I hope you enjoy
