Hello from Nar in norcal

[scarsofcarma]

Greetings Rotary Car Club, my friends call me Nar.

I'm a longtime car enthusiast/driving enthusiast and rotary enthusiast. I've owned five FC's, an FB and an RX3. (As well as several piston-powered vehicles) Here's some pics of my former rotaries:



My last rotary project went down in flames (literally) a couple years ago so I was taking a break from the trochoid monsters but soon I will be back behind the wheel of another FB. An 85 GSL-SE. My other FB was an 84 GL that had a bridgeported 12A w/Webers out of my 77 RX3-SP SCCA Pro Rally Car. It was very quick. This next FB project I'm undertaking is still in the early planning stages. I dunno what I'll be doing with it exactly but I hope I'll get some good ideas and advice from this forum.

I was really sick of RX7club for a while, I hear this forum is more mature and helpful?

More about me, I was a mechanic for several years, but now I am back in school at Los Medanos College to finish my degree in automotive technology. I want to start a custom fabrication business and make my own parts.

I raced a bit in auto-x and rally-x, but my primary love of driving is the backroads. I was a high performance driving instructor at Thunderhill, as well as a drifting coach. I was a member of the pit crew for the Butte College Raceteam on a few of their racecars:

Welcome aboard. Some very nice looking cars there. Post up a build thread on the GSL-SE when you get a chance. We'd be interested to see what you've been up to.

Thanks for the welcome, I'm not a professional driver though... not yet I haven't been to the track for a good while. I was doing the single-dad thing but turns out he's not my kid so I plan on getting back into it.

Instructors make the best drivers, bc they acn anticipate the crappy drivers in front of them

Oh wow. Oh wow, stinks about that situation. Well, at least you are able to get back into tracking your car and spending time focusing on you

I look forward to seeing you compete in next seasons USCR opening race at the Rolex 24 in Daytona. I'll be there. . . just, not as a driver

I'm back behind the wheel of a rotary again... albeit an unusual frankenstein build, but it will be fun!
