:wave: That's right, Projekt Wankel has begun..I picked up a used 1995 Mazda RX-7 last night, as my next project car. The car is red with 87,483 miles, owned by an older gentleman that let it got to me for 15,500. There were some little scratches and dents nothing to major. This little baby of mine is going under the knife in May. This weekend I plan on changing the apex seals and getting a tune up. Can't wait for the 1/4 mile times by this summer and fall. :smoking: Pics will be posted as time permits..

Its just plain stupid for Nissan not to bring the skyline over here, I'd buy one in a second if I had the money to!!!

the turbo timer should arrive today or tomorrow...rotary engines can be a little scary if you don't know anything about them...just like any other car, if you maintain them they will be just fine...remember maintenance is the key to a car that is being modded.
