Dave,

You have to select the options as Sgt Fox showed in one of his earlier posts on this thread. By default, the forum only grabs a max of 1000 results. The default settings also go in decending order (newest posts first), so when you just search for posts in your name using the default settings, you are only getting the most recent 1000 posts that you have made. If you sort in ascending order instead, you will grab the 1st 1000 posts.

here's mine, it looks like i used to know MORE...

john rolf is the owner of that fd, it was jeff witzers car and if you go to the pettit web site there is a link. we have a fd right now that we are trying to cram 315/35/17's under (335 is too big) you need coil overs and the m2 trailing links and with the 335s you need a spacer to clear the links, oh and you also need to roll the fenders for clearance. we want it to look like this with out the stickers http://rx7.wego.com/file_depot/0-100...der/7653/7.jpg

this 'me knowing more' is an illusion, because the forum was hacked a couple of times and lost EVERYTHING a couple of times before that.

and yes we did stuff 335's on an FD...

edit, 1/1/01 i started building my 3 rotor FC, it ran in may, went to sevenstock twice....

LOL! Mine was asking about an MSD install. You can tell by my grammar I was 20... Wow, I've changed in the last 8 years. I'd almost consider myself somewhat of a guru these days. Imagine my knowlege in another 8 years.

From six years ago....

ya with my 1985 gsl if i have it running for 10 minutes and shut it off before the choke has time to kick out sometimes it will crank and just wont start... Finally i get it started by pullstarting behind another vehicle... What a joke, always make sure to warm it up good

It's crazy to think in that time I have gone from being in high school loving my first car. To having a highly modified version of the same car, now I am a journeyman mechanic because of it.

Yea this kind of took me back also this was posted in June 2004 I had already been in rotaries for a long time by that point. I looked at the forum frequently but had never posted. So I jumped in with both feet and a flame thrower... glad i calmed down a little bit. What is funny though is when I looked at this whole thread there are lots of big holes in it.... It makes no sense now there seem to be alot of posts missing

Typical ask before search Post #1. (I have since had it returned to its origonal colour - Beat Black) Before this I had been on RX7City.com for my first 7 which was the vert I bought in 1996 and the smaller first gen forum -Mazspeed ,before I bought the 79 . The mazspeed forum got me interested in SA/FB's .


hi ... new to this forum. I just purchased a 1979 Limited SA. Its appears all original except its been painted . Its still black , but not exactly the E5 metallic paint code of the original, which i can see the remnants of in a few spots that have chipped( on the moonroof).

anyone know what was different or unique about this SA?. ..... any pictures out there?

Its in pretty good shape for 180,000 km, but was going to start changeing a few things ... unless it really should be restored / kept as best as possible to original. Has air ( not working), moonroof, waffle alloys, but not too many other obvious upgrades?
