Taka (the guy on the board) called me the other day. He wanted me to come with him to US CUSTOMS.. He was being DEPORTED (NO im just kidding)
He really wanted me to go to Jacksonville Sea Port to pick up his IMPORTED RX-7 Turbo. I declined (having something to do).

well anyway he just took me for a ride in it (12.30 a.m. Wednesday morning) and let me just tell you that:

#1. its way to small for me
#2. its really freaking fast

Ill have some pictures up later today or something.
It was my first experience in a RIGHT-HAND drive car and it was my first experience of an RX-7..

ill keep you informed!

What has he done to it? Should have some extra ponies for not catering to the U.S. emissions.
Looks nice

Just a heads up. He only has that car for 1 year till we figure out a way to bring it to U.S specs. And even when we do that it STILL has to be exported THEN re-imported.. dont ask my why thats a stupid bullshit customs rule.

2nd we have 2 other cars STUCK at the port of Jacksonville my S13 and his S14. We have to ship them to the Bahamas or some close island outside the U.S fly there and rip the engines out THEN ship the chassis back to the U.S seperate from the engines so we can classify the cars as parts cars and get through customs.
