Interview:

MDSS: How did hear about MDSS?
SeaBass: From the one and only Pat Thomas

MDSS: Why and when did you purchase the ride you have?
SeaBass: Well when I was 16 years old I was working for my local mechanic, and one day a customer dropped off a 93 Yellow RX7. My mechanic asked me if I wanted to go for a ride in a fast car. Of course any 16 yr old would say "YES!" ever since then it's been my dream car to own, now I own it. I purchased the car from Ray Wilson (Owner and Head Mechanic of PFSupercars) in Sept. 05

MDSS: Daily, Weekend, show, or race car?
SeaBass: Well in the future it'll be a weekend only car, although it's a daily driver right now.

MDSS: What modification on your vehicle do you like the most?
SeaBass: The single turbo upgrade and the 2 way LSD.

MDSS: What was the last modification you installed on your ride?
SeaBass: bigger injectors, new fuel system, single turbo

MDSS: Are there any future plans for this ride?
SeaBass: Carbon fiber side skirts, carbon fiber rear diffuser, RE-Amemiya Induction Head lights. Full restoration job

MDSS: How long have you been working on this ride?
SeaBass: About a year and a half

MDSS: Are you into the show or race scene? Or both?
SeaBass: I used to be into the racing scene big, but now I'm growing out of that stage of my life and my FD (RX7 for you non Mazda people) is more for just pleasure and cruising.

MDSS: Do have any sponsors?
SeaBass: I wish I had sponsors!

MDSS: Are you a part of a local car crew?
SeaBass: Kinda Sorta Not Really
