Captree sounds like a plan & how far is it for most of the people coming from Bklyn & Qns ? I use to go to Hetcher or how ever it's spelled for BBQ & Belmont Pk how much further would it be? Guess we will be talking more about it once the spring sets in.I have to get the paint shop by my house to touch up my fender somebody keyed it & I have no clue who. I dont really socialize much with people in the neighborhood so i dont think it was one of my neighbors & dont have any girl who hate me or i have dissed that would do that i haven't really been dating & my psycho friend doesnt travel to my neighborhood and atleast not to key my car. So i think it was some bored A hole with nothing better to do saw the car all shiny & just had to do it

 

Ummm I think it's about 45 mins, maybe less, Im really not sure seeing as how i never go there from the city. Just let me know in advance if you wanna use it, and I can get intouch with some people. Im sorry about your car, that really sucks. People just suck sometimes,That does sound like a crazy girl tho LOL.

 

Yeah but i dont know any girls from my neighborhood so that seems to cancel it out. As for the meet Im thinking by May everybody should have there projects complete it's after Income tax time so we should work out some dates & post it here & see what the Rotary Public thinks. Have them bring stuff to BBQ so we dont look like we are having some meet lol . Just meat to cook & stuff lol

 

sounds like a plan!

 

rotary ladies. . . sweet. . .

I wanna go to the BBQ.

 

So I got a message on myspace from MaxBoost13bRX asking me to join this club, linking me to this thread... funny part is that Ive been on this forum 4 years longer than he

 

Whoa from NC to NYC quite a drive for a BBQ & a meet but rotary people drive miles for meets anyway. My other half of my club Totally Rotary is in So Carolina Rock Hills they said they want to come & would drive here maybe i can get in contact with them & you can meet & drive to NYC but gonna have to find fam or Hotel/Motel to sleep cause ofter the meet it's not like your gonna drive 15-45 mins to get home

 

This is a woman's profile...although my husband usually is the one that posts with it since he is currently trying to get it running for me.

 

I know a girl who is completely in love with 3rd gens.....only problem is that she thinks they have v8's.....but I also know a woman how is original owner of her 85 gslse and refuses to sell it

 

Wow.... too bad I cant get a crapper wagon and fix it up... Theres a junkyard around here W/an 84 GSL BUT, they want like $600 and its not worth $50. Dont get me wrong, but if I have to buy a new fender a new headlight cover a new bumper cover and a new hood, plus paint it and cut the rust out of the quarters. AND switch the interior to black considering its red and faded. Oh and did I mention it doesnt run, AND EVEN I DONT KNOW WHY!!! so no not worth $600...... too bad, my G/F saw it and wanted it, she was actually disappointed when it was to much.... I FELT HORRIBLE!!!

 

I dunno what it is about 1st gens, but the tech sections seem more stable... There's less riff-raff here.

 

It might be because we are an older more mature crowd. Less likely to by flashy gadgets on a bank loan. We are past the posing to attract hot looking air heads that were easily swayed by flashy cars.

 

Hey!!! im not old.... Im only 21 damnit!!!! LOL, but yea, I think that the 1st gen section of this fourm is the most stable, No fighting and bashing. I guess were just all alike....Maybe thats why we all own fb's(well most of us )?????

 

i dont...just the 12A

 

Mature people own FB all the youngones want the fd just to show off not true to the real meaning of rotary. thats why they blow the most motors on fd and why you find so many fd's in the car grave yard. I dont see so many FB or FC in the car grave yard so you know the younger gen doesnt really appreciate the life of being a proud rotary owner they just want speed & cant handle the power of a rotary. But i have always felt that out of all 3 the fb really fits like a glove you can manuver throught those wavy winding roads with confidence no mater how fast you drive it (but you must have driving experience not for the newbee)you know your hugging those curves.

 

The best is 4pm on the LIE ( a large highway on long island for thoses who arent from ny) with lots of traffic, a fb can get threw any amount of traffic. Its so great some times to have a car thats so small, I Just love it.

 

Ever drive a miata?

MaxBoost13bRX - I have found that most FD owners are older people around 30s+. Why? B/c the amount they cost to buy drive and maintain is very high and accomplished adults are the only ones with the money to maintain it.

 

Miata, MR-2, 914, X1/9, etc will all out handle the RX-7 FB.

As far as the FD, taking it to a professional mechanic everyother month would be a pain.

Instead of mature, how about I describe owners like surfers (no, not the internet kind), "soul surfers", "Northside Underground", or we have "core". Glossy surfer (as in beach) magazine ads use those terms to portray their products as being as "far away from the hype as possible". Ironic, huh???

 

These cars are definately less attached to the ricer crowd because they were never in Fast R Furious R!!!111one and they are older cars- they require maintance, which rules out all those guys that can take their car to teh shop to have dubs put on but have no idea how to rebuild a carb.
I've seen more dead 1st gens in the graveyard than anyother 7 - to most, these cars arent worth the money to rebuild the engine so they jsut throw them away.

 

Yeah well there isnt much to hype about the FB cause everyone is younger now & they want all the fancy gadgets and turbo 7 nitros & 25 in wheels & spinners. Only a few who really appreciate the car for it's history & the fact that it's something other than just pistons powering the motor.

 

if your talking about first gen 7's it's an owner thing. yeah new is great and safe and all the rest but for me this is an iconic motor car that won major motor races the world over. For me it is the dream i had as a kid, now i've got one i want it to be the best(one day?) example arround. I like the fact that i'm no mechanic but change diffs , service and improove my own car, change it to pre-mix, swap and tune carbs, adjust suspension etc.
It's the shape and the noise for moast, saw f&f and wanted a new one but couldn't afford one for others, to hell with pistons - LONG LIVE THE ROTOR - is my lable, whats yours?

 

It's funny in NYC you see alot of dead FD but not due to engine prob due to accidents cause the kids driving them dont know how to handle the power. I heard one kid admit he couldnt handle the power of the car & moved down to an Integra 2004 or 05 but he says he was a bit afraid of the car. I know in other states it's just that the generation is into the FC like you said because of the Fast & the Furious movies but in NYC people are always trying to get me to sell mine well the Puerto Ricans because in PR they work thse first gens like never b4. The young kids in PR that visit here alwas try to get me to sell them the cars that i have owned FB but i dont want to sell. I have an 83 about to get a big overhaul from auto-stick from 12A to 13B streetport GSL SE suspension & tranny the works. So most of the new stuff out there is gonna get a run for the money & I love that my boy who is the one building my motor actually race rotaries & built rotaries in PR he & his Bro have some hard running FB's here people are shocked with the work & the power, Lucky me lol

 

Of the FB's I've seen on the road in the past year or so, 1 was driven by a male and 3 were driven by females. And the owners of all of the FBs at AIM tuning are female.

 

I liked the logo for Mazda in those days it went like this "Mazda we make it simple" & after you take the rats nest out of your engine bay and some of the unnecesary junk it becomes simple to work on it . I enjoy working on mine it's the 3rd one I have owned & in the spring im gonna begin my project & on this forum i have read a few lil tricks here & there that opened my mind to more ideas which would be more productive in restoring & preparing my car for better performance

 

One thing I would do to simplify the engine bay more is switch carbs...that thing used to falt out scare me! All those do-dads and do-hickies and whatca-ma-callits bolted on all over it really made me dread rebuilding it. And on that subject, I need to get out to our local junk yard to see how soem of those things are on there because haynes isnt helping get that last few things on(and some of the things on Hayne's carb were NEVER on mine)
