Very nice collection. Is the Rx7 a GTU?
Thank you. No it is a turbo, I purchased it new in fall of '89 ('90 model car). Has about 12,000 km. I love rotary engines. This was our first sports car.

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.
