wow the 80s had some messed up fashion... I'm glad I wasen't alive for it lol.

 

Well, I'm pretty sure that people in the 20's (2020's) will be saying the same thing about some of the butt-ugly crap being worn today.

80's for the win. Parachute pants are the best .. more pockets 4 the win!

 

There's still about 4 or 5 pages left to that brochure, if any body's interested I scan them in tomorrow evening.

Ray

 

please do.

 

I'll do it after the OGTA meeting tomorrow night, while we're watching the election returns.

 

these next pages should be fantastic!!!

 

Here's the rest, lots of ads for accessories. If you are looking for that special something for your RX-7, you'll find it here:

 

I want the pacific low-profile whale tail, and a 100% walnut shift **** to match.

 

I still have one of those Passport radar detectors.

And I REALLY want one of those Kamei air dams for the FB.

 

three things:

eel skin steering wheel cover?

I want to see what that Compucruise looks like installed.

What happened to RX-7 Club of America? Was it around during FC and FD production?

 

God those gto's are awesome looking especially the racing beat one

 

Awsome scans thanks.

 

amazing, Ray. are those from literature that you've collected through the years?

 

They are all from the same brochure Dave, a mailing from RX-7 Club of America. I got it on ebay for the minimum bid of $6.00 or something like that. I've entered all the pages on this post (but not in the correct order).

This was the front cover:



If people have more of this kind of stuff it would be nice to have a central archive on the forum some place.

Thanks for sharing this Blast from the Past with me folks, our cars certainly have been through interesting times.

 

In 1979 I installed a Compucruise in my brother's new 79 Prelude. He paid $100. We flush mounted it in the center console. Magnets taped to the drive shaft triggered a sensor for cruise control. It had an inline fuel flow sensor and several temperature sensors. It was great to set your cruise control by typing the mph on the keyboard. The simple computer could calculate time, distance and fuel information with the input from the sensors. My wife's minivan has most of the same functuons in it's odometer, but back in the day not many cars even had cruise control.

The last Rotary Rocket that I have is December 89. Anyone have information about when the Club and magazine officially ended?

 

Wow I never realized that 1st gen had a huge aftermarket until I read this thread. I vote this thread to be stickied too.

 

Ol SJ has got it goin on and he knows it. The other guy looks like he stole the jacket, he's probably got some Colt 45 stuffed in his pockets.

Those scans are awesome thanks.

 

Man I need a time machine! Awsome scans Ray!

 

Thanks Carl. That's not you in the pictures, is it?

 

i'm telling you guys, i though that was LongDuck in those pics....... that guy is about as elusive as those articles!

 

I'll bet he's this guy:



Just replace the "u" with an "i".

 

Is the mustache for sale? I want one so I can talk to those babes rockin' the 1/2 can of Aqua Net. I guess I do already drive an FB though...

 

I remember these hatch Carpets!!



I wish they were still available, along with a true
OEM quality front carpet set.

Man, the 80's were the best!

 

the RX-7 was truely at home in the 80's. what i wouldnt give to have purchased an RX-7 new. the RX-7 was truely in a class of its own. the looks are still timeless even today.
