Post some pics of this bad boy!!
For everyone's info, I am using a 83 12a tranny. It is holding up (fingers crossed) because I have not really abused it with hard shifts yet. I do plan on upgrading to a t2 tranny. Here are a couple of pics. To be honest, I did not build the pretty engine you see. I bought the car from a guy in mass. who just finished building the car. I was going to get a t2 but this is sooo much cooler than a 2nd gen and only weighs in at about 2400lb.

Car looks great, congrats.



Couple of questions, are you sure the guy you bought it off from, didn't recently purchase it from a guy in

Florida? - the car looks familiar.



Also, what size wheels are those?

T2 transmission. It's from a newer (second gen) Rx-7 turbo.

rxseven- car does look great! You can tell the builder spent some time on that sucker. Can I ask how much you had to pay for the car?
