Yep.

Drive a Red 93' touring with a big single.

Still wish there was a good shop to go to for everything though.

Bunch of other gentlemen as well, most likely there will be a meet at some point in the summertime.

I met a fella at Memory Express south a while back who had just gotten a FD, and I told him about this board. Maybe we'll see him at meets as well.

I'm a Calgarian, but not a very FB knowledgeable one. MB FD in the South.

North East, Gold S4 N/A, constantly under repair

id offer to help but i know SFA about FBs right now, im sure thatll change as ill be gettin one soon. Go out to the meets if u can, my work schedule and constant tinkering screwed me out of every meet this year, but with any luck next year will be different. Some swear by and some against RX7 Specialties, i for one have had no issues with em but my dealings have been stupid questions an second hand parts to rebuild my beast. Still in my good books, and a damn good thing as i dont know any other 7 owners.

my main source of information has been right here tho. keep hittin that search function when something new occurs to you an before long you will learn what you need to learn. at least i did.

Im in Black Diamond---- ie: extreme southwest (of) Calgary. Have owned six 1st gens including the two we still have: an '84 GSL (mine) and an '85 GSL (wife's).

We'll probably have the first summer meet/BBQ at our place again in June or thereabouts.

Soon to be the proud owner of a JDM FD, but I live in Airdrie not calgary. But hell almost the same thing. Just slowly getting back into RX-7's, used to have a 86 but due to my lack of knowledge when I was 17 I no longer have it.

Hopefully I can make it to the BBQ in some form of rotary powered mad science. Or we can just build it in your garage so if it isnt finished, I make it anyhow.

If you're looking for help online or inpersion, try to ask a specific question to give people a place to work from




Your post said you did eventually get it started, right?

<------- 87 Turbo II....estimated 12,000rwhp too bad estimated power quotes mean precisely ****. Value your car? Keep it away from Adam and his shop. That's why I like this thread, find some knowldegeable enthusiasts and do the work yourself.
