transplant from other forum

[Rotary_Rocket_87]

I have been a member of another well known RX7 forum for 2 years now. I have learned alot from that forum I have gotten sick of the constant threads asking questions that have been covered a thousand times. It has become quite hard to find any useful information there. So I figured why not check out RotaryCarClub. So far I am liking what I see.

Well enough about that. Now to introduce myself. I am a 25 year old box truck driver for a local mailing house. I have owned my Brilliant Black 87 TII for a little over 2 years now. This is a car that I have been really close to for about half of its life sofar. My best friend bought this car in about 98 from the original owner. It was in mint original condition (no mods or removed parts) He owned the car for about 2 years then traded it for a POS Corvette. This is where I lost track of the car for about 4 years. My friend was crusing around in Keene (NH) one night and happened to see 6 rx's sitting in a parking lot. He stopped and talked to the owners and one of them just happened to know where his car was, and it was for sale! He bought it back and kept it for just under a year, sold it to another friend (who failed to pay) and repo'ed it. It sat for about 6 months cause it wouldn't run. Being fed up and knowing nothing about rotary motors he calls me up one day and asks me if I want the TII. FOR FREE!!!! All I have to do is transport it.

So I get it to my house and instantly go to the internet, knowing that forums usually have plenty of info. I find the "other forum" and start reading. After two weeks of reading everything I could i start working. Turned out to be that the wiring for the fuel pump had been frayed by the airbox. Fix said problem, pour some gas in the tank and prime the motor (a lil 2 stroke) and she started no prob. Hurray for me, free RX and it runs!

I have done many mods since then, that will be in my sig later. Thanks for reading and see you around.
