Why a Mazda RX7?

Awhile back, a friend of mine had an RX7 that was at the time the nicest car I'd ever driven.  Later on, I had a chance to pick up a base model RX7 (not as nice as the TurboII my friend had, but still a cool little car).

 Problem was, the motor lasted 10 miles and went south due to the apex seals taking a permanent vacation.  For a year, that car sat in the backyard.

After awhile, another friend of mine said "Why not put a V8 in there?  You have one already!"  Then he showed me the Granny's web site and that sealed the deal.

Once I got that one running, I kept my eyes open for a deal on a newer body style RX7.  I found a rolling chassis (missing the motor, trans and a buch of other stuff).  It was relatively cheap do I went for it.  This website is all about that car.
