Greater Hamilton Area RX7s?

Hey,

Just wondering who else in the GHA (Hamilton, Grimsby, Oakville, Binbrook(hah) etc) is building or just driving an RX7 this summer? Lets see PICS!

Here are my previous FCs... First in white...




Second one.. sort of mine for awhile haha



The new Mazda is an 88 323 GTX.. pics to come later tonight!

Lets hear/see from those in or around Hamilton!

hey! i'm not in the Hammer now, but grew up there! I'm down all the time visiting family. I just picked up my 7, so once it's on the road, i'll drop you a pm when i'm coming down. Whereabouts are you?

Well after I install all what's in the pictures plus a tranny and rad and gas tank I'll be driving mine, hopefully by May. I saw 2 FC's yesterday and I'm determined to get it done now. I'm in Stoney Creek.

Hey, yeah some passat with 5 girls in it flew right down the left turn lane and didnt even slow down. She just turned left directly into us as we were going strait though a solid green... i couldnt believe it haha it was like she did it intentionally.


I've never owned a red fc, not sure just the those two. What's up with you latley?

And finally, some pics of the GTX..





Anyone else in or near hamilton?

I'm driving mine already.

And I always thought Nells Corners would be your nearest city.

Spooler red fc? Closest to a red fc is the one barn dirt drives. Look at his cars ethier they are white or black, neither of wich are true colours.

I'm in burlington pretty often. Do any of you hamilton guys know of any garages/space for rent in the hamilton area where I could store/work on my car? Its hard to find reasonably priced space in the toronto area.

That's a clean looking GTX!!! Those are super rare to find in good condition. I didn't really modify the one I had because I know how weak those transmissions are. :P

No way, I've got first dibs! And I'm closer

I've seen a few FCs in the Ancaster/Dundas area. Some guy at Mac used to drive Lloyd's doppleganger and park beside me all the time, but I haven't seen him in a year or so. There are actually quite a few FCs in Stoney Creek/East Hamilton, and I know of one really mint first gen that drives around BR all the time!

I pass by what seems to be a really clean black FB on Fruitland rd. everyday when I go home from work. I'll have to stop and get a closer look one day when my FC is back on the road.

JEALOUSY
...among human beings jealousy ranks distinctly as a weakness; a trademark of small minds; a property of all small minds, yet a property which even the smallest is ashamed of; and when accused of its possession will lyingly deny it and resent the accusation as an insult.
- Letters from the Earth
Ergo I will not deny Turbo envy, yet I still drive my NA when and where I want.

You know mine is running and so is Barn Dirts (back from school) a little loud for now. I keep thinking you are having a meet in your driveway but 3/4 of them are Mittsis

yup, i got it from chris, and technically he did take the photo(what can i say, the guy knows how to take a good photo haha)
the car is in amazing condition, i bought it off him last summer, he seemed like a cool guy.
it was pain in the *** to drive all the way there, fun on the way back though lol.

So if any of you are interested, we've got Autodrome for some lapping this wednesday (the 11th). Cost is going to be $65 and a maximum of 20 cars.

Msg me if you're interested, should be mosty mazda guys. Kinda short notice but it's also pretty cheap for 4 hours!

Thanks!
