What's up doc?

SecondGenPat · 04-09-2009, 10:04 PM

Well, hello.
My name is Pat, I am currently living in Olmsted Falls, OH (suburb of Cleveland, OH). I am originally from Fort Wayne, IN. Just here attending school (auto/diesel school in downtown Cleveland)
Where to start... ah hell, here goes.
2 of my friends had (still have) RX-7's in high school and I always though they were neat just because of their uniqueness.
Now one thing you must understand about me, is that I was always an "American" muscle guy. My favorite car still is a 1969 Mach 1 428 C/J Mustang, but after arriving to the realization that the once "American" automakers are as American as lead tainted childrens' toys I started to see these Honda's, Mazda's, Acura's, etc. as our generations "muscle" cars. So last April I bought my first rotary, a 1987 2+2 N/A. I am the second owner. The car is in fantastic shape, save for the RR quarter wheel well where a spot of rust was poorly repaired causing some deteriation.
My goal is to turn it into a NASA IT car (maybe something faster) buy the end of this summer.
So far my favorite thing has been learning the power train. I am one of thoes guys that loves the challenge of figuring out how every little piece of the puzzle contributes to the whole, and once I figure a system out, I'm dangerous

I can't wait to increase my knowledge about this car.
Just to put it out there, if anybody needs help with their car and is around the Cleveland area let me know and I will be glad to help when I can. (I am also on ohiorotaries.com same username)
Well, that's me
-Pat

I had a friend who went through the air force tech school.
He made it through to graduation then had a nervous breakdown.
Wish you the best of luck though.

SecondGenPat · 04-12-2009, 05:50 PM
