BadAss JasonS!
One day I will LS V-8 one of my cars.
I was thinking of towing my other RX-7 to the track with a V-8 RX7

That's got to be one of the cleanest/uncluttered engine bays I've ever seen on a street car. Too bad you had to let her go.

...and now it's gone again.

It just wasn't the same when I bought it back. It had really been abused and neglected, so I sold it again and won't be seeing it anymore.

Peace!

I'm not certain of the model, but it was a Momo and I really liked it!

What wheels are those in the first post? They look reeeeaaaally good on the FC. Props on the swap by the way, nice and clean.
