ito and i talked this one over recently. i still don't see why it's the end of the world for you guys. it's not your car- relax!
ito told me that i think this way because i'm not a REAL car enthusiast.
i'm beginning to think he's right. lately i've had the urge to put my car in a trash compactor...

Every time RX-7 owners see an engine swap like that, it's a stab to their (our?) fragile little egos, and denial, our favorite defense mechanism, kicks in. Our engines are perfect, and nobody should ever want to take one out of an RX-7. I bet the 13b-rew wasn't running when they took it out, and if it was, I bet somebody else needed it to replace their blown engine.

People contest that its the same thing when someone puts a rotary in a Datsun or a Starlet
or something like that. But I don't think its the same thing cause replacing a rotary with
oh i don't know ...... a V8 or a Supera engine kinda defeats the whole purpose
of the R in RX-7. And if a rx-7 doesn't have a rotary it defeats the purpose
of the whole car.

Having said that, let me say it'll be a cold day in hell when there's anything other than a rotary under the hood of my car!

I wasnt knocking the sr20 its just the 180sx, silvia, and so on aren't classified with the RX-7. Yes I agree with you there are some bad *** sr20s out there. Some of them belong Vanquish members. So dont take that comment the wrong way. So hows your new 7 have you got it painted or are you still in IRAQ
