I have been a lurker on this forum for a while and decided to join.

I used to own an 80 RX-7 SA and although it went through 2 different bodies I had the same engine from the time I was 16 until I was 26.
When I owned my RX I lived in Tampa, Florida so after I realized he existed, I used Jeff at Maztech the repairs that I couldn't do myself.

Anyway, I am about ready to get back into another SA or 1st gen, primarily because I auto-x a 97 maxima presently and I think it would be more fun with my old RX.

I didn't have a digital camera back then, so if I can find some old pictures I'll try to scan them.

There is a guy on the maxima boards that has switched to a Miata for auto-x, I always argue that I never lost to a Miata in any race when I had my SA. I don't see many 1st gen RX's in my region's (phillyscca.com) events are they competitive with Miatas for auto-x?

 

Welcome. Hope you find the forum informative and entertaining!!!!

 

Welcome to the forum! How competetive they are vs the Miata probably depends on the class. When I used to run CSP I usually beat them, about %90 of the time. In Stock class they would probably kill us.

 

Welcome to the forums!

 

Welcome. these group of guys in the 1st gen section are very helpful.

Im in STS2 and the miatas do really well.
