I bought my car for $500...with 150k miles on it. Then drove it 2000+ miles through the mountains with no problems. Of course I would check to makes sure you have a basic tuneup done and of course make sure your fluids are good and what not.

 

fluids are all good. thx

 

bump

 

wow, did it leave you stranded at all?





The car should make it....



I know mine would, even though it doesnt like me...

 

that would make for some great memories!!!

79+80+84_rx-7, sorry to hear that your car doesn't like you. i know the feeling

 

No I didnt have any problems, I did general maintence before hand though, carried some general stuff for repairs. Was a great couple trips.

Slept in the back under the hatch with the seats tipped forward.

 

Now that is real rotary love from a owner. Sleeping with their Rx-7

after i had gotten into fb's i have done the drive to/from denver co to Atl. Ga. 9 times round trip..... 1400 miles 1 way. my 79 had a killer dowel pin oil leak, so i would stop and check oil about every 200 miles. i also drove from denver to myrtle beach.... via atl. and also from sandiego ca. to 7 stock 4 to denver with a dowel pin leak. This was when i bought my 83 l.e. And every year i drive my fb to ohio for a family reunion from atl. its about 500 1 way...and while im there i school the locals on "them wankel motors" and show the corn feed ricers what a 20 year old rx7 can do to there mighty bitchy or honduh... 1 time this ******* way trying to get me to race.... no thanks im hualing a 4x8 box trailer that is 2 feet taller than my car.... what a ***..... so i went and droped the trailer at my uncles place and went back and layed down the rotor laws

 

Your devious red_blast....

lol, devious! it has been a great time hanging out with the devious red_blast! 7's ahoy!

 

yes i too had a great time hanging out with mazdave, devious and fun!

 

good news my fellow rotor heads, i made the trip to and from ohio with no major problems. and while i was uo there mazdave replaced the spark plugs, distributor cap and fuel filter. (how nice of him.) i'm glad lucy was good to me and the trip was great fun!!!

 

Did you pick up some Cheese? I hit alpine alpa eveytime I am up there for some Baby Swiss.

that trip up 77 is nice, and the view of the charlotesvill is great as you drive around it. Last time I drove it I was in a V10 F250 so much fun leaving everone going up the mountains. Dont guess I need to mention the Lions Den in WV.



I brought my 79 from NC to ALT last weekend. Trailing Ignitor went out but other than that it was great. Second gen seats felt great and the RB Muffler had a great sound.

 

let us all know how it goes

 

it went well as far as the ohio trip. i will be amking the same journey south to see red_blast. what a great trip it will be!

 

waahoooooooo!

 

i second that !!! wahoooooooooooooo

 

yippeedy yay!

 

"************"........

 

i feel sorry for anyone who lives in west virginia, horrible state to drive through.

 

its the moutains that are rough. the state is great though! the scenery is very nice.

 

too many hills and toll booths and lack of civilization
