Hey I am new to the fourm just about to get my rx7 shipping mix up but whatever. I am looking to get to know people in the london and surrounding area. I am actually happy to make friends on here from just about anywhere and with my family/friend/work dynamic bassically anyone between windsor and montreal is near me at some point in the month. Looking for recommendations on parts shops everything. Can't wait to hear from people.

P.S. here are some pics on my baby.

 

Hey there. I'm from London/Exeter as well. There's actually quite a few of us, if they'll pipe up. Where abouts do you live in the city? Maybe its time for another London 7 meet. Nice FD.

 

Welcome, what year is that? Looks very 99 ish.

 

RHD FD!!!

Welcome to the club. You'll be able to get some ideas when we meet up in person. More than a few FD's around with some nice equipment under the hood along with exterior enhancements.

 

London is getting another RX-7 sweet ... I'm in that area ... I live in the whiteoaks, what area are you moving too? As for parts ... we have a few places to go around, joe RPM has quite af ew good services, I'm sure he'll post up on here, also quite a few places in Toronto.

Maybe will meet up once you get down here. Show you around town.

 

Nice car

 

Other "active" London people include myself with a TII, The Aaron Cake with his eternal turbo-n/a project, Tyson with his in progress peripheral port FD and Trish who has a FC.

 

I'm a the now? It will be interesting to have a working FD in town. Hell, I might be the only one in town besides some 1st gen people that has a running RX-7...

 

If you want to meet up with some other rotary fans, then come check out our new shop on May 5th. It seems like there will be alot of members coming for the BBQ.

My car ran more recently than yours.

 

If you call that running....

 

You little kids ... lol ... ah well I'll join in on this ... .my car still runs :P

 

I've owned my Turbo2 for over a year. Still doesn't run, still haven't driven it.

 

if you put a little effort on there it might

 

Maybe I'll just drop in a 350 and call it a day.

 

My FB runs, but is currently in the air, with no more wheels. Adelaide and Kipps. Ive bought everything off the net so far.

 

I second that idea. I need a rotor and a rotor housing, can I pick them up tonight.

The thing that's great about some random junkyard 350 is that they make very little power. As they said on top gear refering to a '88 Camero (170hp), it's amazing they were able to make so little power out of such a big engine. The weight thing is overstated, but why have an engine that weighs twice as much and is within easy limits of a stock internals/turbo rotary (I would call that somewhere around 250hp for the S4-5)? That said, I would never look down upon anyone who went with a LSx (but no carb conversions!).

 

Hey sorry it took so long for me to post back I went up to my cottage for a few days. I live in lambeth currently. My mom and I are in the process of getting ready to sell the house so I have no idea where we will end up in london don't much care so long as I have a garage to put the car. And yeah I would love to have an area rx7 meet sometime soon. Its not a 99 its got the 99+ front end conversion. Its actually a 92. The canadian laws prohibit importing a car thats under 15 years old unless your the first owner so. But this one was in excellent condition and I got a stellar deal so I am super excited. I should be picking it up from toronto this week. just trying to get the immisions test done. It turns out the grey market vin it gets when its imported gets it e tested as a 4 cylnder 1.3 liter so obviously it fails and i need to get a conditional pass or find someone who knows fds. A north american vin gets them tested as a 12 cylinder 1.3 liter twin turbo so flames coming out the back pass. (guy who I have importing it for me explained this) So we are still working on making it fully street legal.

Once I get her in town what do we usually meet for. Is it just a show and shine do we hit the movies what is the standard for area RX7 owners.

Thanks for the support and posts guys

 

nice FD.


I'm from near windsor, but up to london frequently, especially st. thomas lol.

 

Sweet I manage properties around ontario get sent down to windsor once every few months I spend atleast 2 days a week in st thomas. I just talked to my imported and the car was unpacked today he said he will have it e tested vined certed registered all the other papers by friday if not eariler so I should be able to pick up my baby on the 4th of may

 

London here...88 RX7

 

So excited baby got off the train in toronto on friday and i got to take her for a test drive about another week till she is registered and licensed and what not. but wow its better then I had ever imagined i envy everyone here who has known this joy for so many years.

 

I knew that particular joy, once, about 5 years ago. A baker at Tim Hortons (he had another job, and made decent wage), in Tottenham ON (hick town 45 min N of T.O) I bugged and bugged him to let me take his Black 93 R1 for a spin. One day I was leaving work and throwing a bag in the dumpster and he rolled in, asked me if I was done, and two minutes later we were rolling down the street, I was trying to take it easy, but on the drive back to town we got stuck behind 3 cars. Naturally in an FD, it's hard to drive anywhere near the speed limit, so once we hit a good straight, I pushed and swept out around them all, hit 170, shifting early. Not once did I hit the turbos full on. I regret that, because I probably would be even more in love with the FD, but again, not my car. My FB is only to tide me over til I can afford one. Of course that little burst of speed gave him a bit of a scare, but IMO, it was worth it for love. I hope you enjoy your ride as much as I enjoyed his, and I'll be buggin you to let me give her a shot, to spark my memories of my first run in an FD. Whether your willing to let me or not is another story, but there's always a case of beer in it for ya. Have fun. Welcome to the beginning of the end of your wallet.

 

Nice, hope to see you at the rpm meet.

 

I friggin hate the ministry of transportation. They decided they need another third party review of the car ( I think this means dounts in the parking lot) so they are holding my car another week now two + weeks late. On the bright side i got to go up and visit again on tuesday and take her for another spin god rotary makes you feel alive. Not even pushing it past the speed limit of 80 and it just feels so frigging good. Mind you the fact that people kept pulling over to watch me pass and a couple skyline owners called it liquid sex and offered a trade didn't feel to shabby either lol

Side note for orion once I finally get her in I will msg you and we can go out driving one night maybe hit the sparta track.
