If you want to keep the dust out.. use positive air pressure.

is there an RS member here running an ad for an autoart RX-7 in white on craigslist? i thought i saw someone posting about selling their white one here a few pages back but i cannot find it.

tofu1413 08-03-2014 11:10 AM

Ive got two of their 911's... a 964 Rs and a 993 Rs... both very nicely made cars.

exceptional QC on the car, itself being a handmade product. 964 is perfect, the 993 wheels looks a tad off... but thats my only complaint. The paint looks awesome and same with interior features.

Mr.Stubbz 08-03-2014 04:50 PM
