Probably best looking car BMW ever built. They really need to get out of the rut they're in now styling wise.

Gordon - did you repaint the engine yourself? Looks great!

Gordon- Any chance you could drop an updated picture or two of your RX-7 in here?

Sure. Here's a picture of my new exhaust and a video of it running. I've been spending a lot of time building a new version of my exhaust and refining the engine and tune.

And here are a few of the exterior. I just had new seats made, but they are not in yet.

I'd love to go for a spin in a 3 rotor!

I want to make something clear. I built this car as a sophisticated sports/gt car that would have a great-sounding, linear rotary motor, but one that would be completely reliable, because it's NA. Although the motor has a lot more torque than 2 rotor single turbo motors, it only makes 360 to the wheels. That's a lot less than the 450 I had in my last FD, but, in a 2750 pound car it's still 7.6 pounds per hp. And, the power is there from maybe 2000 rpm through 8500 rpm and it will never pop. Again, not a numbers, bragging rights motor.
