    '84 RX7 GSL-SE project

    So my dads friend sold this GSL-SE pretty cheap to us was in pretty rough shape which makes it our project car.
    WE LOVE MAZDAS ESPECIALLY ROTARYS
    In fact we have 2 more 13bs sitting in the garage one turbo and one core engine
    Also my dads RX3 track car which currently has no engine was a 12a


    Alittle late on this aha






    Just threw all the parts in the car for now




    Did this today installed suspension removed front end with the whole subframe


    New droplinks for the rear


    Front subframe the front shocks were installed but is in the garage

    I hope you understand that you have a very rare bird. The GSL-LE really shows off the power of early rx7's. You have disk brakes, fuel injection, bigger engine. Whats best is that it was before mazda slapped turbo's on rotaries. (I really hate the FD's engine) Also, the GSL with the 12a is more reliable, but you can't find parts for it to save your life. That car is awesome. If I had one, I would be tempted to get rid of the miata once it was running.

    Those can be very potent and balanced cars! I'm truly jealous. I wish I had a project like that when I was your age.

    I had one of those steering wheels for my Miata years ago. Always liked the interior on these cars.
