Hello all. :seeya: Let me first introduce myself, my name is Jim and I live in the great state of Wisconsin. I'm 30 years old, married and have a 5 month old son. I'm currently a business student after being laid off from my last job. With that out of the way, onto the car part.
I first got into rx7's/rotary engines in 2004 after finding out my 78 trans am was a pile of crap compared to my buddies 88' GTU. So I did what any logical person would; bought his car. After a few years I realized it was time for a little more power and bought a 90' GXL with a S4 TII in it. Over the last few years I've been tinkering around with it and did the cookie cutter BNR/Rtek set up. A picture tells a thousand words, so on with some pics.
