SA owner from Ontario

tim. · 12-17-2015, 02:46 AM

My name is Tim, I have owned my 79 RX-7 for 25 years.
It was rough when I bought it, I did my own bodywork and repaint on it, and upgraded it over the years with some parts from newer models, a header, sidedraft Dellorto, and a 4 port 13B. I have done some autocross many years ago, and have recently been doing the odd track day, as my kids are teenagers now, and a little free time has been returned to me.

I have found a lot of help on the Rotary Car Club forum, and wanted to thank the members who have contributed over the years.

Looks like an FB now, LOL. Nice looking ride. I expect its the weight of an 82 model with the
bumper swap.

Thanks Guys.
tgfarrell, I converted the ignition the direct fire, wasted spark the way you and jeff20b worked up years ago.
The car really runs nice with that set up, so thanks for posting that up.

GySgtFrank, My car is basically made up of parts that "fit".
I like how you made the parts fit on your car that didn't bolt right up.
You have some determination there.
