The basic specs:

1993 Vintage Red RX-7

with ~ 47K miles (when I got it in December 2000)

1.3 liter two-rotor engine with twin-sequential turbochargers

This is my idea of a pure, no compromise sports car with the flexibility to dominate any track out there, be it the drag strip, the most grueling road races, and the local autocross.  It's 2700 pounds of car with all the excess fat trimmed off.  It handles like a dream, and the acceleration starting all the way from 2500 RPMs (the point of full boost on the first turbo) through 4500 RPMs (the onslaught of the 2nd turbo spinning in sequence) gives an exhilarating rush that still puts a smile on my face like I was a kid again.

Oh wait...I am a kid.

Fresh motor with 3mm seals installed at R&R Rotary Specialists, M2 mild steel down pipe, Bonez hi-flow cat, Racing Beat single tip cat-back, M2 cold air intake, M2 stage III ECU, Greddy Profec-B to control boost, M2 Intercooler (medium), Regan Racing engine torque brace, Fluidyne radiator, Tokico Illuminas, Cusco front strut brace, RB front sway bar reinforcement brace, M2 trailing arms, M2 toe-links, Goodridge stainless steel brake lines, Speedbleeders, Hawk HPS pads all around, 99-spec front lip and tail lights, Racing Beat Type I spoiler, Greddy boost gauge and modified Autometer A/F gauges on pillar, Mazdatrix short shifter with Momo Cobra shift knob, Apex'i turbo timer, custom made aluminum foot rest panel, gas pedal, and miniaturized battery tray, satin finish door sills, Royal Purple in tranny and diffy, Efini emblems, loads of shits & giggles.

Sadly, I haven't grown up at all and still need toys to throw on...I expect to be throwing on a bunch of suspensions mods in the future to be more competitive in the local autocrosses.  (I run ASP street tire).

In order to curb my desire to play with the car constantly, I remedied it by finding another car to play with.  (See Project Cobra)

UPDATE: 12-10-2004

Well the car's gone through quite a few changes since originally writing this, and here's a new page with pics taken by  my good friend Scott.  The car recently dynoed with Steven Kan at Gotham Racing at 315rwhp on 12 pounds of boost on old stock turbos, and I have an A'PEXi RX6b single turbo upgrade sitting in the garage.  I recently went through a huge rebuild of the motor that included a streetport with 3mm seals from Rick Soderberg at Rotary Performance in Pleasanton, an additional oil cooler from an R1 (temps never got past 90 at Infineon last week!), an A'PEXi Power FC, upgraded injectors and fuel pump, ACT Prolite flywheel (9.5 lbs), new gauges and stereo headunit, Zeitronix ZT-2 wideband hooked up to the PFC for datalogging,  HKS Twinpower ignition amp, stainless steel midpipe, some new wheels/tires - 17" Koenig Villains (front: 17x8.5 wheels with 235/45 tires, rear: 17x9.5 wheels with 275/40 tires), blah blah blah...
