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.
These guys live for the first generation RX7, and SA22C's of all types came out to the meet in Nagano.
Some are mild street cars…
…while others are much more extreme, like this 787B-inspired example.
The words "period correct" come to mind here.
Other members have serious track-built cars.
The vented hood looks so right.
The lines of the original RX7 are definitely getting "classic", and not just in a "for Japanese cars" way.
How about some bolt-on flares?
Some RC SA22C lovin'.
Of course Sassy's IMSA RX7 was there, now rocking lambo doors and somehow pulling off the look.
Big thanks to Sassy for the photos.
As always, you can find more on the 22C Works site.

ive got a lame S15 RC car... but sassy's rx7 is on fire with those doors
We should have a "send in your rx7 and we will post it up" blog post!!
THIS DAY SHOULD BE A WORLD WIDE RX7 EVENT, NOT ONLY IN JAPAN
Absolutely awesome! +1 for what Luke said.
NICE!
Any FC and FD's?
It's that time of the year again and what a special annual RX-7 gathering it all turned out to be
Lambo doors make me sad in pants.
More 1st gen content please! Also, will there be any of the usual 'all generation' RX7 meetup content around this time of year?
ive always wanted to build one of these to drift in...
low and wide
ok i gotta find that sa22c body for maybe my sprint 2 sprint drift or maybe better yet for my nitro 4tec
but eather way the rx7 is, no matter what model, the most beautiful cars ever made. some people celibrate the 4th of july i celibrate the 7th, happy 7/7 everybody

More of the RX-7 day boys. Now I have to go to the garage and drool all over my FD.
Damn some of those are hot...

Wow....that's quite a variety of 1st gens there. Good stuff
Speaking of 787B where's Mr. Brooks with the feature? ;p
Strange, when 7th July in Japan, there's snow in the backgrounds, and noleaves on trees???
Very very strange
Love these oldskool cars, though...
Main attraction there is the awesome hood louvers.. damn thats nice..
I love 1st gen rx7's. I used to have a 85 GSLSE, 82 gsl, and a 85 GSL. I wish I still had one of them.
heres a vid of the last one I had. I just picked it up from the city tow a few days before because it was stolen and beat up pretty bad so I decided to finish of whatever tire it had left before I brought it to a shop to get fixed.
