I've been over on rx7club.com for a while now and found out about you guys. The more sources of information the better I say,lol.

I have a 1986 RX-7 N/A I am working on restoring. The side frame at the back of the rear rocker needs some POR-15 and some welding of panels. the area below my front passenger side fender is also basically gone. the rust on that entire corner (5"x5" square) warrants replacing that section. Other then that the car is in good condition with fading paint. I am in the process of rebuilding a T2 motor and still need money fro parts for that and the T2 rear end. It's coming along slowly but surely.

I am planning on doing a custom widebody. I was going to use a FD front bumper but decided it would be easier for my to make the plugs and parts myself. I haven't found the look I want anywhere. I am vaguely following the look of the Tec-art FC but completely creating my own front bumper. all that has to wait for the frame repair and T2 swap first though.

Looking forward to talking with all of you here.

I have to get pics back on my computer but its nothing special yet. My brother has an 89 FC but running a 86 N/A motor on a 88+ turbo ecu and harness.lol. needless to say he can only give it 1/3 throttle before it stalls. anyway, he just got a rx-7 parts car (demolitoin derby condition) and I will be cutting parts off that this weekend for my cars side frame. then I have little surface rust spots I want to touch up and its back to the T2 rebuild.

I will post pics here soon. good to see another rx7club.com member:)

here's some of me pics:). try not to laugh too hard. it now has a riveted panel covering the bottom of the front fender/frame and a panel over the drivers rear rocker area. they are primer grey!lol. riveted panels are priceless, just screams "I can't fix it right now but I have to do something". hope to fix some of that this weekend instead of covering it up!

it's not that one site is better then the other. it's good to have multiple streams of information. this site has some forums and specifics that rx7club does not and vice versa. I think they are both very valuable. one thing I've noticed is that rx7club seems to have more car classified ads then this site but thats trivial anyway and doesn't really have to do with the site itself.:)

well, if you want to sell more parts, post them on more forums. ;) Welcome and thanks for the support.

lol. very true. I think it's just that more people find rx7club easier and therefore, there is more people to sell cars on there. this site does have a good deal of car classifieds as well though. definitely has plenty of info and that's what the forum is primarily for:). This is a great place guys.
