The new toy, 83 RX-7 GSL! New pics Page 2! Reply #31 – March 08, 2008, 11:06:09 AM Thanks fellas.Yeah, it's a little small, and VERY low. It's a pain to get in and out of, but there's actually a ton of legroom (being just a 2-seater you know ). Headroom is good until the helmet goes on... Quote Selected

The new toy, 83 RX-7 GSL! New pics Page 2! Reply #37 – March 09, 2008, 02:50:03 PM I'm surprised wheel selection would be such an issue seeing as there is a HUGE following for the first gen RX7's in the SCCA. Quote Selected
The new toy, 83 RX-7 GSL! New pics Page 2! Reply #38 – March 09, 2008, 04:35:40 PM It's weird. The S/GS/GSL's have a 4x110 bolt pattern, and wheel selection is kind of limited, and the GSL-SE has a 114.3x4 pattern, which is VERY common. Seems most everybody converts to SE specs. I'm still reading up, as this is my first 1st Gen. Quote Selected

Aerobird Motorsports - 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, 2.3T/T5, SC50 and bolt-ons - 14.767@92.06 (2007)*cough*I bought the RX-7 to autocross and road-race. You know, racing, only with corners :hick:One of these days I'll slap the 401/5-Speed in something to drag race. I found a cherry 68 Rambler 2-door post (straight-6, 3-on-the-tree!) but it was in Maryland (ugh). Oh well, I have nothing but time anyways.I race to have fun with my friends and family, not for any kind of internet fame! (If I wanted to do that I'd be broke and living in a van down by the river instead of getting my degrees and paying a mortgage lol!) Quote Selected

Reply #41 – March 10, 2008, 01:05:58 AM It's like this: The toadstool juice fires through the unicorn injector into the fairy dust chamber, where the tiny wizard does his secret work...Then a gang of keebler elves get hopped up on the crystalline byproduct of the wizard's tinkering, (they smoke it) and then the elves push the spinning triangle through a series of dimensional portals to a final realm codenamed the "exhaust port..." At least that's my undersanding of rotary sorcery.I stole this but whatever nice 7. Put a V8 in it. Quote Selected
The new toy, 83 RX-7 GSL! New pics Page 2! Reply #42 – March 10, 2008, 01:18:59 AM I like oldraven's explanation, spinning pizza slices! This one is too clean for a V8. There was a 2nd gen at the track last night. 100% stock with a 100% stock 2000 LS1/T56 in it and 275 street tires on the back. Even had the stock LS1 airbox and stock RX-7 rear end. 12.92@114!! A 2nd gen with my 401 would be a LOT of fun at the drags... Quote Selected
