hmm seems we need a site with common rx problems

seems to me the same questions are drilled deeply into our fourms im a new member and have noticed that me and other newer and even older members cannot help but ask the same questions over and over. i feel it nessaracy that we all should contribute to a site to help fellow FC owners both NA and turbo. Or perhaps we can have a link on the first page of the fc forum to go to for common problems.

the search button does not always give you the easiest and fastest answer. The site sounds like a good idea, it would certainly be faster

Now if we could just get Ted to finish off the Electrical section...

Can you imagine if Mazda had made an electric/battery powered 2nd gen... the damn thing would breakdown every 5 minutes, if it started at all.

Actually, an electric car is MUCH simpler then a gas powered version, so I would imagine that it would be significantly more reliable....

Anyway, my site has a lot of common problems and fixes on it... http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/

There are also a lot of other people with sites, multiple FAQs, various "how to buy" guides, the search feature on this site, and regular search engines. The main problem is that people are too damn lazy/ignorant to use or even look for these things.

Other's have mentioned this before and I agree with you 100%. Information is often lost with only search and the archieve is pretty limited. Ted's site is the best, but IMO just scratches the surface of what's needed. The members with experience get sick of the forum and leave after a while and their knowledge goes with them.

I also agree 100%. Searches don't often come up with the exact problems that you are looking for. The results are very narrow also.

Umm, I'm guessing you missed the irony (RX-7... general electrical patheticness... electric powered car... ahhh forget it ).
