winnipeg 7's
 

I'm returning to the peg after a long time down east (Guelph) and bringing my two 7's.

89 FC vert (red)
79 SA LE (black)

Who else is here and what have you GOT ?????

www.manitobamazdaclub.com

Check it out, a bunch of 7 and 8 owners are on there.

As for my car, check out the sig.

thanks for the link ... I like the signature . the vert has 2 of 3 , the SA only 1 of 3 . Neither really have speed , which is why I'm really hoping the next one is a FD.

any good rotary mechanics in wpg ???

I'm in winnipeg. Got 2 88's. One's a project, the other retired to organ donor status.

I'm also in Winnipeg, i have an 86 with a 90 TII engine swapped in. Probably the loudest RX in Winnipeg...

Im in Winnipeg too, me gots a CYM

Fred out on St. Mary's is your best bet, he mostly does work on FB's and FC's. I'll see if I can dig up the number if you're really interested.

Oh and as for all the other owners, where were you all hiding? ;)

My stock 93

boy
if that pic there isn't inspiration to get mine painted, I don't know what is

(probably the ugliest '93 around :( )

Yeah Fred is you best bet in Winnipeg. He knows these cars well and he doesn't charge an arm and a leg. Any other mechanic I've tried (even the Mazda dealerships) seem incompetent and over priced when it comes to these cars. Many mechanics will out right say they won't touch it, which makes me wonder what kind of mechanic they really are since there are a lot less parts to a rotary engine and have a simpler design. An engine is an engine. It they are not man enough to tackle the Mazda then I'm not taking my Buick or lawn mower there either.

Thanks , I would be interested. (either by reply or PM).


ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE ???

how about the brown FC I've seen near Regent and Plessis ? ...... or the black SA around Pembina ? ........ or the rusty FC in Beausejour

Have you got another COLOUR picture of that FD ..... the signature says cleveland .... but the stucco says winnipeg .

sorry no colour version of THAT picture :(.

Here is a colour one though.

I travel back and forth between Cleveland and Winnipeg monthly.

:icon_tup: NICE CAR ...... I'm a wanna-be 3rd gen owner . Hopefully in the next couple of years

seen any other FD's around ?

There are 3 others my color. I know b/c i saw the other three all at once parked within 2 blocks of each other. haha. At one point three of them were parked at Earl's on Main street.

I know of 2 red ones as well. Have seen a black one.

So there is at least 7 of them.

I want to get another FD. Mainly b/c I am a sucker for punishment.

anymore contact info to find Fred on St. Marys ? ...... garage name ?

269-2815

:101384_l: EXCELLENT.... I talked to him and sounds like the 7s will be in good hands .... 20 years of experience and likes the cars .

said hes moving to a place on Pembina in a couple months

thanks .

Black FD here

No pictures :(

Ya I know, Still haven't got the car back from the body shop but will be talking with them tomorrow.
Give me a few days and I'll get some up.

94 Montego Blue FD

Here is an old picture, not the best, it was taken as just before winter last year. This is the only one I can find right now.

You know, we really should try to have some sort of meet sometime.

Fred's not the best, he built my fc engine, took like 6 months, and even then the engine wasnt running right so he had to take it apart again and the bearings were knocking... so he had to take it all apart now etc... i wouldnt trust freddy worth a shit, he's a rip off, and i hope you read this fred. So i got fed up with the car, sold it to someone and the engine blew because he left the cas 180 degrees out and blew all the seals, and he stated it wasnt his fault and never warrntied the engine.. when he did build it, it was still smoking and couldnt fix it... i thought he was a good rotary tech myself thats why i took there in the first place but ended up getting fucked... I had a red turbo 2, with to4, greddy intercooler, power fc etc...

Yeah I agree, we should have a meet go for cruise or something before it gets to cold

Sounds like a good idea. Depending on the weekend I may or may not be in town. :)

i could join you for a coffee with the protege ... but the vert won't be coming till spring . May be selling the SA.

WAX UP THAT MONTEGO BLUE FD AND POST A PIC IN THE SUNSHINE !

What!! selling an RX-7. Sacrilege!

Very nice :)

What hood is that?

Eastbear lights?

We will be running an almost identical setup :)

haha :)

Thanks, at first I had second thoughts about the headlights but after I seen them painted I got hooked on them.
The hood is the stock hood, I just cut the holes out in between the ribbing.
The headlights are not Eastbear just some cheap halo lights fitted / preped and painted.

how do you like these headlights and hood ?

Just got back from the MPI auction and there is a new owner of this FD for $6400. ....... good luck to the buyer and hope to see it on the road next spring . There was too much damage for my wallet.

keep us updated if you are on the board.

hi i got a 86 gxl but my unibody is rusting out on the bottom. what can i do, any tip would help alot. i like my car and dont want to scrap it. any help pls..

why not post a picture for this thread .... but re-ask your question on the main board where a lot more people will see it

i am looking for a unibody for my rx7 dose any one here know were one is in good shape???
and is that a good way to fix my under body rust???

You're not the only one getting screwed by MPI, they wanna write off my FC. Somehow they managed to "find" $6300 of damage, if i would replace the hood and put the headlights down, you wouldn't even know it was in an accident!!!!!
I F****** HATE MPI!!!!

But yeah i have an 87 GXL, but i'm not from winnipeg, closer to steinbach. I know theres a couple FC's there too.

i didn't buy or own it ..... the 6400$ was what it was bought at the MPI auction for by somebody ... i also heard that the last owner got close to a 14,000$ MPI pay out on it though ..... pretty surpising considering the "book" value was 8000$ when I phoned GG mazda to check on its value. .... a 88 FC that had some damage in the front was also bought for about 800$

how much for it and do you have any pic?

UnSeen24-7, MPI should have a buy back option. I.E. if they deem your car written off, you can choose to fix it yourself and MPI will cut you a cheque instead paying for the repairs. You get to keep your car in whatever condition it is in and get a chunk of change for the damages. If they take the car they will give you a bigger cheque. This happen to my old Mustang in the 96 hail storm. It wasn't badly damaged, just pock marks on the upper surfaces, but since it was an older car it wasn't really worth it for them to fix. I was sick of that car, and didn't care, so I took the car as is and the $700 dollars they offered me. The repairs would have cost me more than $700, but I was happier with the money then having a pretty Mustang that was still worthless. If you think you can fix it for cheap ask them about the buy back option.

I am buying it back, for $1k. I just hate how MPI thinks they're doing me a favor.

So is there gonna be a winnipeg 7's meet?

have to be in the spring for me ... both of mine ('79 & '89) are in for some fall/winter improvements and off the road.

I think mine is going to be staying in the garage now!

is that guy that was behind don veto's that worked on 7's closes shop???????????

anyone thats posted put up some pictures if you have them ....

i parked beside a really nice condition FB on tuesday in the parkade at the Convention center ... looked like an 84 or 85 GS , black with red pin stripe , ARE YOU ON THE FORUM ?

Haven't been on here too much this season....Nice to see so many 7's....The more verts the better I am getting lonely at MMC get togethers..
