New here, old to RX7's

Jims5543 · 03-04-2011, 05:32 AM

I have been toying with RX7's on and off for 20+ years.

I had this site bookmarked for age and finally signed up. I have to admit though for selfish reasons. I am currently selling a 1979 RX7 Track car. If I am allowed I will make a thread in the for sale section.

Anyway, I own a 1987 GT-R with a 1993 13B-REW swapped in. It has a GT35-R turbo with 1300/850 (IIRC) injectors all tuned with a Motec M4 and tons of upgrades from suspension to cooling to fuel. It makes north of 400 to the wheels. I use it for AX, DE's and Mountain runs with friends.

Very nice FC!

You should come to DGRR!!

Thanks! I am toying with going. I normally head up at the beginning of April to meet some local friends. I have a good friend in Bryson City that I can crash at his house, I am sure the hotel / cabins are booked up by now.

Its just that 10 hours in that car is brutal.

Come on, the Canadians do it every year!

And yes, the lodge/cabins that we specifically have reserved for the event are full, but there are other options, which you already have worked out!

Very nice car! Welcome to the club!

It's a pity that I already have too many cars - I would love to have an FB.

Man, I have not been active on RX7 boards in ages, too many people local bitches to me stirring up shit with my mechanic. For whatever reason playing him to think I was not giving proper credit for all the work he did on my engine swap in order to get free work. Who is the asshole?

This ind of made me steer clear of RX7 sites so as not to give them fuel.

So:
