Finally drove my Rx7!!!

I think I'm making it a goal to own all of the cool 90's cars. I bought my Rx7 last July with a blown rotary motor. I spent the fall and winter doing an LS2 swap to it. I just got it inspected last week and aligned on Tuesday. I've put about 40 miles on it so far and love it. It seems to handle really well. It's really easy to drive with the v8 and I'm glad I did what I did. That's a good thing too, considering how much time and money I have invested. I'm excited to daily drive this summer, work out any minor issues, then get it painted in the fall.

Compared to a 3s I would say it is equally as sexy. The interior is definitely not as well designed and quality wise of pretty much everything the vr4 takes the cake. No one should ever complain about cracked defroster vents again. Be grateful that is all we have to deal with. Handling wise the Rx7 is better. I'll make a bold comparison statement between the rx7 and Subaru once I drive it some more.

Below are a few pics. I have a lot more and documentation on my website http://www.802projects.com/rx7.php It was a really fun project car to build. It kind of gave me new life joining another forum and learning all about another platform
