-Rtek 1.5 ECU
-Hawk HPS all around
-BF Goodrich tires

Questions to the owner:

Q: Congratulations for winning Ride of the Month! Tell us about how you acquired this car?
A: Well, I awoke one morning groggy in my PJ's around 8am to a private message from my friend Dregg100 that had the car's listing in it. I was like; "Damn that's a nice TII". Kept looking "54k original miles!?!?!", "North Carolina!?!?!" haha. I fell in love. With the help from some good friends we were on our way up to get my TII!

Q: How did you first become interested in modified cars? Have you had any previously?
A: Hmm, I'm not really sure. I fell in love with driving and exploring the mountains first. Then I got into cars. I then wanted a 2nd gen Rx-7 and fell in love w/ those. The lines of the body, interior, and the rotary engine. I just had to have one. I got my first car, a red 1991 NA Rx-7 that was an automatic and it just kind of went from there. Auto to 5-speed swap was the first thing that made it easy to keep getting more involved.

Q: Whats the biggest reason you chose a rotary powered car to modify?
A: I was and still am fascinated from the little magic spinning triangles. I like the people that they bring together, the way they perform and feel up in the turns of the mountains and I especially fell in love w/ them when I got my TurboII. Boosted rotary! OMG!

Q: Is this car your daily driver? Do you participate in any form of racing? (Drag, Auto-X, etc)
A: Yes this car is my Daily Driver. I drive the piss out of our local mountains and I do say that I have bumped off a couple of times on the freeway or where ever. It has gotten me in some trouble to say the least. lol.

Q: What do you enjoy most about your car?
A: Boost! haha. I don't know maybe the cleanliness of it when I spend all day shining her up. Maybe the working factory CD player and little things like when its running awesome in that "perfect" weather.

Q: Do you have any future plans for the car, or any car?
A: I really want to rebuild it myself and w/ help from my friends to get to know it a lot better. After a rebuild, then I want a bigger turbo and supporting mods. I would love to have around 350 or so WHP when everything is said and done. But suspension and some sexy wheels.

Q: Any other hobbies besides cars?
A: Photography is HUGE for me. It's my dream to do it as a profession but its hard to get your foot in the right door it seems. I'm obsessed w/ taking pictures of cars mostly but scenery and various things. Guns, I am also obsessed with. I love them and I am a redneck according to friends. And now I guess I can add Scuba Diving! haha.

Q: Anyone you'd like to thank?
A: Yes! Minda and Lisa Vandy's! Masin Decker and friends who have helped me out w/ teaching me shit about my car and lending a hand. Umm, Randy up in NC for letting his baby go to me and holding it for us for so long when it was in high interest!

Additional Pictures?
A: Uh yeah of course! I'm rotarybeat1287! haha.

original paint...this was a week after I got it. It was garage kept its entire life. But it doesn't look like this now unfortunately. *tear! haha
