First, just wanted to mention that its a great idea to put a photography section cuz i love to take pictures

Here is my summer beater which was reworked from a to z, only stock parts: Bolts, bearings, seats and windshield

That's when both of my mufflers exploded due to a huge backfire after my tune. I had to buy a new borla cat-back, im sooo sad

And now for the winter beast

still love to get it dirty even tough i spent 150 bucks for a detailing

The noise from that backfire must have been huge and funny

Thanks mate! Yes its an Rx7 1986 with 300 whp. First I tought I blew a tire or the engine, but then the sound was so loud that I knew it was the mufflers. Was beating the car at 3 am in a industrial zone, so no one really heard me. When I did the swap I've changed the downpipe and pre-silencer but I tought that I would'nt have to change the cat-back since the performance aftermarket ones are about the same size as stock. Now the car is finished and I had to put money on something else, so I bought this new toy, and I'm so happy about it!!

300 at the wheels!!!! Thats something. Is the RX7 turbocharged or does it just rev its nuts off?
You cant beat having the ying and yang of motoring....a 4x4 and a sports!!
You get to appreciate each one everytime you change car and so never get sick of them.
Just back from a camping and mounting bike trip up in the highlands, the pathfinder coped with all the gear and bikes no problem and still managed 40mpg over 300 miles.

Yeah! That car is quite exciting to drive! It was originally N/A but I swapped it turbo with a few addons and a bigger turbo. The switch between a 4x4 and a sport car is always stunning, in one youre higher than everyone, and you don't feel the road, in the other you are bellow everyone and feel every bump of he road! Both of them have the same MPG

Since the injectors or the 7 are faucets

I even got a 125cc kart which is a crazy adrenaline rush too! Can do from 25 mph to 87 mph in about 2 seconds!!

The only thing I love about waking up and going to work, is actually, GOING to work

BTW must have been a great trip!! Did you do some downhill with your bike or just biking around?

It was 20 mile run through some heavy forest..mostly flat but a few up and downs on what I can only describe as a dry river bed...lose stones and boulders everywhere.
I used have a racing kart too...It was a Wright D chassis with TT75 Parilla racing engine. That baby would rev to about 16k. Really quick and the change of direction at speed was immense.
My sports car at the moment is a Vauxhall VX220. Its a 2.2ltr 16v N/A, basically a stripped out track car with lights and a horn...only weighs 875kg so its very kart like to drive and has the ability to embaress more exotic equipment, especially round the twisties!

Yeah is great to drive

! 0-60 in 5.8s.
Gonna get a couple of pics beside the pathfinder to show the difference in height.
As you can imagine, the pathfinder feels like a Rolls Royce after driving the VX.
