new fulla on board from New Zealand
Hi Yall
Firstly I would like to say I am a certified 'ROTORHEAD' for the last 20 years since purchasing my first Wankel powered stead, SA22 series one RX7 2 decades ago.
I still have that same car although is parked up as a project( you know,flat battery,blowing a load of smoke when it eventually starts,3 different shades of white etc) 12A stock but for a set of extractors,K&N filter .
I also have an up and running road legal FC3S 13BT, tein adjustable coilover suspension,aluminium bonnet,pod filter,simmons FR17 rims,S5 US spec aero mirrors,twin stainless exhaust and just last week a new HD clutch.It is awesome handler on the track with the adjustable suspension...
I also have a load of rotary books/manuals/sales brochures and a steadily growing collection of diecast mazda rotary in all scales and random JDM and other marques.
Thats all for now, will post up pics and such when I get time at a later date.
later...

Hi Toyo Kogyo , Welcome to RX7CLUB.
Awesome name BTW. Hard to believe with over 150k members no one has that yet. Great pick!
It sounds like you have a couple fun RX-7's there. Looking forward to seeing some pictures when you get time.
