Awesome and congratulations! Nice combo, what cars are on the other lift?

I like them but so many people have them. I have been likeing the gramlights 57dr lately. It will be a while before I get wheels though

Haha you guys are nuts! Yes, I'm planning on wheels in the future. They are just so damn expensive

Thank you Cake! Last weekend while changing the downpipe a stud snapped. This is actually a common problem but my brother was able to get it out in a few minutes. Also, in the process of removing some intake stuff to reach the top bolts of the downpipe a few rubber hoses that turned solid from all of the heat cracked and broke so I'm waiting for those to come in. We also didn't have time to finish so it will be finished this weekend. Thankfully the garage is air conditioned which is nice since it has been 90*+ here lately

I changed the tires and got an alignment last weekend. Going to get the front bumper repainted and a few small dings fixed with PDR. This weekend I'll be changing all of the fluids, spark plugs and wires, cooler thermostat. The guy I bought it from had the oil and spark plugs changed recently and I have records but I want to change the weight and brand and know it is done and I can continue on my own maintenance schedule. I'll be ordering a ceramic coated downpipe soon to get rid of the pre-cat that gets ridiculously hot and causes problems in the long run. I want to make it a "reliable " touring car in time. I don't plan on tracking it. My goal is to upgrade or replace parts that are in contact to what the upgrade is. For example, when I switch to coilovers, I want to upgrade the tie rods, ball joints, sway bars, sway bar links, etc. just so everything is sound. I know it will cost more but I think it would be beneficial in the long term. Whatever doesn't need to be replaced can be thoroughly cleaned and repainted if necessary. My brother recently bought a house that has a two car shop with a lift on the property so that will be very helpful. Sorry for the rambling. I'll post updates as I go along if that is something you guys would want to see

I had one about 15 years ago and always wanted another one. I was looking to get another one and I started my search. I finally found one that I wanted but it was in Washington, the other side of the country for me. Luckily, it was only 15 minutes away from Cats Exotics. Big thank you to Roy and Kevin for brokering the deal for me and looking over the car before I bought it. They also set up transport for me. 1994 Mazda RX-7 with 74k miles on it. Needs some TLC but it is in great condition and has MANY new factory parts, it is also 100% stock. 46870174_894066284489933_6267561747895973321_n.mp4

I'm here, just not much to post about or comment on. Same thing with other forums I would visit. Just not enough content. Either the most active people are not "in the game" anymore or have moved to different platforms like FB or IG which are terrible for information.

Thanks Dave! If it works out I'm going to have Roy broker it for me

Specifically Kirkland, WA. I’m looking to possibly purchase a car from a private seller and I have never done this before. I want to make sure the car is real, runs, drives, etc. Also, how can I ensure the guy won’t take my money and disappear? I was told to use a private escrow company by someone. Can I just use a title company or are there companies that specifically do this for cars? Unfortunately, due to my work schedule lately flying out there is not an option.

Please don't upload any pictures

I wonder how much the hood tie-down option is and if you can get them in other colors

I have never bid on anything and I do not plan to anytime soon. It is a good time waster to just browse through and look at some cool cars though. I don't bother to look at the comments because I have noticed the same. If I want to see comments of people talking nonsense and nothing of value, I'll go on Facebook

I thought most modern cars were already "pre-broken in" because most people won't follow direction

Honestly, at this point, nothing would f****** surprise me

One thing to tell you from the retail mortgage industry, some lenders are putting out stricter guidelines and I just saw one HUGE lender/servicer is completely stopping all new loan applications as of today. Usually when one does something the rest will follow...

Hospitals in NYC are now getting refrigerated trailers delivered for standby. Nurses and doctors are using trash bags as gowns. Raj has been showing how hospitals can use a full face scuba mask and a filter on the snorkel. SCG has been developing parts for these masks to accommodate the filter. As bad as NJ is, it seems like the more time that is going by, people are caring less and less. More people are out on the roads and in parks.

The governor of NJ put in a curfew from 8pm to 5am but it is only strongly recommended. There were plenty of cars around after 8pm so I think it is going to end up being mandatory. My county is closing all businesses except grocery stores, restaurants are for carry-out or delivery only, pharmacies, gas stations, auto repair shops only if connected to a gas station. I think it will become more strict and that will go state-wide soon, as the state has been following what Bergen county has been doing in regards to restrictions

The low mortgage rates have been good for my wallet. Trying to ride this as long as possible. Only store I went to was the gun shop to stock up on supplies. People are getting really crazy around here. All school districts in my county are closed until further notice. The governor might make that statewide. All movie theaters are closed in my county. I think malls might be next. Supermarkets here are running out of meat, poultry, eggs, etc. every day. The cases in my county have been doubling just about every day. I’m not nervous about the virus but I’m nervous about people’s reaction to the closures and possible rations.

The pictures aren't showing up for me

Excuse me sir, is this your car?

Macaulay Culkin was a top contender but always survived

wtf

Maybe they figured nothing would make it look better

That's such a sick car. Congrats!

I love it but there is always something wrong with it. Nothing major but annoying little things or a recall here and there. Looking at other brands for my next lease but nothing catches my eye like this car so I'll probably just end up with another one . I'm hoping since the new one is supposed to come out in 2021 I can get a decent deal on a leftover C43 this time around
