And then there’s washing the car. I washed it this morning, but I can’t do it barehanded anymore—rubber gloves are essential. The weather is sunny and calm today, which is great. The weather always seems to cooperate when we work on this car, even when rain is forecast. I must be a fair-weather guy! Anyway, it’s best when you can work comfortably. Oh, I forgot something important: I put SSR wheels on this very cool RX-7, and there are a few setup changes Hideki Tanaka should make for comfortable drifting on both road and track. That’s the focus of this installment… Wait, what number are we up to? First we introduced the Seven; the second installment covered suspension and toe adjustments; the third was a simple engine tune; the fourth was an oil change; and the fifth covered some things we couldn’t get to earlier. So this is the sixth—and final—installment. Six months flew by. Let’s get to the last job!
