I love RX-7s, what are you looking to get?

I wanted an RX7, then I went all conservative and bought a Ford. I still want the RX7, boohoo! :'(
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I had an RX2 coupe back in the 1970's, it was unreliable, guzzled fuel like a big block Chevy and handled like a pig, but I'd never done 140 MPH in car before, it was wild! I don't want an RX2 ever again, but a series 1 RX7 would be very nice.............  ;D

Sucks that the buyer got screwed out of the settlement money...  Maybe it's time to call the cops on the guy for fraud?

I used to have an 87.  It was a fun car until it caught fire.  Apparently it is a common problem for the fuel pressure regulator to start leaking.  You may want to replace that.   :-[ 

BTW  www.nopistons.com  is a much better forum.  They don't have all of the drama that comes from RX7 club.  Very helpful folks over there.

Yeah, I posted a modification where I added an air bleed at the top of the choke housing on my FC  complete with pics and instructions and they called me a retard and told me to bleed the cooling system by the book. Needless to say, I never posted there again. You will definitely like the T2 but be warned that the engine wears out a about 100,000 miles. I have been looking for a turbo motor for my 88 convertible but I'm too cheap to pony up for a JDM motor that probably needs a rebuild. :P

The car i had would be the GLH's bigger brother...A Daytona Turbo with a factory Mopar Performance Stage II computer. Had i been able to keep that car i would have eventually upgraded to the Super 60 package.
