vagambler,
my car is a disaster, the shop has had it for damn near a month and they can only get it to boost 10lbs. thats pretty sad considering the car was boosting 15lbs. when they received it. how can you add over 3 grand of aftermarket parts and get less horse power? i took my car from the shop and i'm forced to take a special trip down to south carolina to a specialist at rx7world to get this thing right. please do you have any suggestions?????

Old School rotary video that Rich sent me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-856DMiLzI

I also saw that the TV show "101 cars you must drive" will have some rotary cars on this Monday's episode.

Kenny, what color are your 83 front fenders?

Yes, that was me. I went to Bridgeport, Ct for the toyota meet and the Old School Toyota Car Club of Bridgeport invited the Mazda. A lot of cars, BBQ, made a lot of friends, etc.

I am also a member of the Vintage Mazda Rotary Club of CT (VMRC). I am the VA "Chapter" representative.

In the video you can see my family, the Cosmo and me. There is also fellow members of VMRC and their families.

You can go to vintagemazda.com and see more of the old school RX's there.

Best paint went to Pito's RX-3

Best overall car of the show went to Gus' RX-3 which was also featured in "My Classic Car". That car has a lot of "bling" in it. Inside, outside and underneath of it. It is truly a work of art. You can see parts, gold plated, chrome plated, earl's fittings, stainless, etc.

That weekend was one of the best car shows and Car Club comraderie I have ever seen and witnessed. It was truly a great event.

I will go over there next year.
