Hello from Grand Rapids, Mi

Version6 · 02-08-2012, 03:29 AM

Just wanted to stop by and say hello after someone from a "Local" forum suggested I try this site instead of the other one.

I have an 1986 Arctic silver RX-7 getting its power on engine alone and currently in the process of replacing a bad release bearing, rebuilding the clutch cylinders, upgrading the intake/exhaust and getting rid of things that are unwanted.

Sorry for the poor picture, took it before I went to bed (i work 3rd shift) with a camera phone

Welcome! You made a good choice on forums haha.

Yeah, so far after browsing I am liking this forum more.

My topics had a tendency to go unanswered on the other one, which is annoying when you have weird issues that you cant find a cause for using general automotive knowledge... or the forum search

Welcome aboard! Where are you in GR? I live in Wyoming, near Lamar Park. There's a few of us local rotorheads that hang together...

I actually live about 3min away from Grattan Raceway. I'm in GR/Wyoming quite a bit thought due to my job.

Edit: I did a search for that park, since i had no clue where it was, turns out its like a 5-10 minute walk away from where I work.

Hi, welcome! Best of luck with the replacements.

Thanks Luthor, it would be done already if the weather would cooperate.
