You know how I went from 0 FB RX-7's to 3 in one month? I think it's spreading...

So.... who are the other nutcase car collectors here? Kastein is Jeeps, CommmieGIR is Audis, I'm Subaru.... anyone else of note?

My rotary collections comes in waves. I at one point had three FB's outside my house (all running and drivable). Now I'm back down to just the wife's RX-8. Prior to that I've had another 5 FC's and two FB's.

Edit: I have started collecting parts for a 13B-REW swap into the RX-8...

Would it be worth it to use that harness to build a wiring and sensor diagnostic tool? Harvest the factory connectors, etc?

I've started building a few RX7 specific ones since a bad ignition or fuel wire can cost hours to hunt down.

Edit: To clarify, you know healthy voltages and resistance ranges for all sensors. Either feed each sensor wire into a simple bastardized meter on a big selector switch and go through wire by wire, or get fancy and feed in into an Arduino with appropriate shields. Even fancier and for the ECU ignition and fuel injector outputs, you can get an Arduino shield with a mic port (O-scope).

Back removed and b pillar moved...did you turn it into a ute?

You better have at least kept the paint. Because from that distance it's so bad it wrapped back around to rad.

Is it legal for import into Canada? If it has a build date older than July 2005, it's legal....
