Make: Mazda

Model: RX-7

Color: Montego Blue

Motor: Rotary 13B-REW

WHP/TRQ: 350ish.. I haven't dyno'd since the new turbo swap.

How did hear about TR?
I've heard of TR from one of the attendee of my event, Deals Gap Rotary Rally.

If purchased, Why and when did you purchase the ride you have?
I bought this car back in 2003, a month after I blew my engine on my other 3rd gen RX-7 (my "BLK" RX-7).

How long did it take you to get the car where it is now?
6 yrs

Daily, Weekend, show, or race car?
Used to be my weekend car, still is... but I show it because my blk FD isn't ready...

What modification on your vehicle do you like the most?
I guess the Exedy Hyper single clutch

What was the last modification you installed on your car?
Custom CF cooling panel


Are there any future plans for this ride?
Not really... I have to build my BLK FD by next May. When that happens, some of the parts will be moved to that car.

Do have any sponsors?
Yes, Exedy Racing Clutch and Disc Brake Australia (DBA).
