NC professional high fiver turned rotary enthusiast

Ever since I was a kid I wanted to chop blocks of ice with my bare hands in a seedy bar in Japan. I have since given up that dream and turned to my new occupation, rotary mechanic, except I don't get paid. lol I bought an n/a fc in good condition as my first project car and have since spent about 3 grand on it and more than 20 hours on forums to figure out what a rotary engine is! ha Love this car/engine/forum can't wait to meet some people from my area to see what a turbo rx7 can do.

WHAT? You do not know where the big town of Waxhaw is located Waxhaw is South Charlotte on Hwy 16. I live about a two miles past the Charlotte line (just enough to avoid Mecklenburg taxes)

That sounds like a good idea. Between the speed3 and the fc I get bent over hard every year(by meck county and city of charlotte taxes). Plus daily cost of living.

Very nice.
I'm looking for people close by to help me out with my 7. How are you with the idle control systems?
