I thought I'd post this shot, as I turn my attention to the upcoming Daytona 24Hs, a race which has gone through many different allegiances and phases over the years. As we enjoy this photo together, let's think back to simpler times and imagine the sound that this little GTU racer made while screaming around the Daytona banking!...

I'm sure you are familiar with "Sassy's" SA22C RX-7 out of Japan. We've shown the car a couple times over the past few years, and recently it was put up for sale. This one-off IMSA style beast is on the market for 1980000 yen, or about USD$24,000. International shipping is being offered, so it'll be interesting to see where this RX-7 ends up! For more info and a full spec-list, check out the Japanese for sale site right here. Who's down? -Mike Garrett

Well it's July 7th, and in Japan RX7 owners and enthusiasts use the day to celebrate their favorite rotary sports car. Our friend Sassy at 22C Works just sent us a bunch of images from a recent club gathering....

Here's a couple video clips that "Sassy", the owner of the IMSA-styled SA22C RX7 sent to us.

Besides the sights and sounds of the RX7, you can also catch a glimpse of many other Japanese classics running on the famous Suzuka Circuit.

 

Thanks a lot, Sassy!

Back in January when we did Mazda month, we ran a spotlight on this IMSA-styled SA22C RX7 out of Japan. At the time the car was done in semi-gloss black, but it's since been repainted in a glossy red. The guys from the 22C Works website sent us some photos of the remade car, and we knew for sure you guys would want to see them....

One thing you might notice about Japan is the "team spirit" of its car enthusiasts. Whether its drift teams, VIP clubs, or even ita-sha groups, there are organizations dedicated to every type of car and model out there. Sometimes the clubs will be a broad group of friends that simply enjoy driving and hanging out, and other times they will be dedicated specifically to one type of car. If you are an RX7 fan, or fan of classic Japanese cars in general, you might have stumbled across the group known as "22C Works". As the name suggests, 22C works is a club for owners of the first generation SA22C Mazda RX7 from around Japan. There are lots of cool 22C's in the group, but we found one in particular we had to showcase this month....

At first glance, you may be thinking, "look at the front bumper. Are you sure it's clean?" Yes, I do think this first gen RX7 is exceptionally clean. A minor thing like that front bumper will look incredibly clean if it's just painted. No biggie. This past summer at the Japanese Classic Car Show in Irvine, I was walking around the show looking at so many cool cars, I just didn't know what to take pictures of first. There were too many cars to look at! Fortunately my good friend...
