This is a little Mazda Rx-7 I built a couple years back:

This is the new shifter/boot:

That '66 looks like a pretty sharp truck. Too bad it far away. I wouldn't mind adding it to my collection.

Wow, Jason! What a great sleeper that RX-7 is! I love the drive-by! You still have it?
That is a tough swap to make emissions legal here in California, or I would do something like that.
That explains the sports cars on the wall in your garage....ever do a trackday or HDPE with that thing?

I ran it out at Gateway International Speedway, but that was just a 1/4 mile track. It would have done better with a set of drag radials, but it ran 11.2 @ 128mph on street tires. I would have loved to run it on a road course track, but one day I will. Right now a friend of mine in AZ has it, but I'll have it back in a bit, (once the kids are grown and away
)
Here's another quick one, (I think I got 4th gear in this one!)

That RX-7 is SICK!!! I just love bigger engine swaps...I built a 302 powered '79 Pinto some years back, and that was a trouble causing monster. I could only imagine the ruckus you could cause with that Mazda, lol...
