Dieter has a garage mate her name is Lucy. Just put a light bar on her and waiting on Amazon to deliver the lights.

Hope 6" KC's fit the bar should look good, fingers crossed. Had to relocate the vacuum pump from the front bumper, not sure why they moved it there from 2012 forward but does not seem like the best place for a vacuum pump.

That is one clean Rx7! Have you had to overhaul the engine/turbo because of age and not mileage?

No, nothing other than routine maintenance so far.

Hey AP328, the picture of your RX-7 brought back good memories. I had a 1987 'Sport model' (precursor to the GTU) from 1990 until I sold it in 2008 to buy the Boxster. I loved the high reving rotary engine. I had updated the suspension, full exhaust and many other mods, but I was ready for a change after 18 years.

Now, in addition to the Boxster, I have 2 Acura daily drivers (MDX for the wife and a TSX 6 speed for me), and almost 20 feet of old Dodge for the classic car shows.

^ RX7 looks great. There is nothing that revs as freely - guess that is why they need the buzzer at red line as there is no strain that suggests it is time to shift. I still really enjoy mine, even after all these years!

I forgot you are in the UK always porsche. Mary Kay is a cosmetic company in the US with independent agents. The successful ladies are usually rewarded company vehicles to drive...THE really successful ladies get a "PINK" Caddy to drive.
