My Ride

1988 Mazda RX-7 10th Anniversary TurboII, JM1FC3321J0622799

 

What can I say? This is my baby. I purchased her exactly 1 week after the wreck in the old car. Got it for $5700 from a lawyer here in Pensacola - he's the original owner. Do I love it?  Hell yeah!!!!

It's picture time!

The Rev-Speed Meter. This is stuck to the upper corner of the windshield with double-sided tape. Doesn't look bad from outside the car, and it's really easy to see and use in the car.

Overview of the engine bay. Lotsa red, white, and black! It's kinda dirty here - still haven't cleaned it up since the turbo install.

Driver's side of the engine bay - you can see the AIC amplifier box, and the Magnecor wires.

Top of the motor - you can see the additional injectors, the blowoff valve, and the upper intercooler pipe.

IC Pipes - this is next to the radiator. It's kinda hard to see, but they are both "stacked" on top of each other, running between the frame rail and the radiator to the front of the car

The battery box - place to put the stickers :)

MSD 6A ignition amplifier - it's under the drivers's side headlight, on top of the brake duct.

The downpipe - it's heat wrapped, and I've got various types of heat wrap around the oil, water, and AC lines there.

Cone intake - right now, it's a generic one until I get the Apex'i. Notice the heat shield - that's from a heat blanket for a barbeque smoker! Works well.

Fuel pressure regulator - look carefully, it's in there. There's a fuel pressure gauge screwed into it -came with the FPR. Works great!

Broadway rearview mirror - the thing RULES. It's much clearer and larger than the stock mirror - really makes a difference!

And, last but not least, my $500 '87 base smoke show car! It will be getting its motor taken care of soon!

 

Right now, the car is putting down some MAJOR power - 0-60 in 4.7 seconds! So, what do I have done to it? Here ya go....
