lol sweet!!

 

Sweet, thats pretty awesome man. Ive always contemplated getting custom plates for my 93, don't know what to put on them though. haha

 

Ourxseven what was the cost for those plates

 

its a one time charge of $100 each.

you get them at the main licensing building , was on Portage, but has moved to Donald St. They say a 4-6 week delivery , but it really depends on when you buy in their production cycle. I got mine in 3 weeks.

 

I've been buying parts for the '79 this winter and Mark Friesen over at Gerry Gordons has been great for some OEM things I was after.

He used his own email account to work through the part search with me , which is better than waiting on the phone or standing at the counter and gave me a 20% discount on the stuff.

Fairly quick turnaround too. Give him a try if you're looking to get some OEM parts

I got some new rubber (with steel mounts) strips for the bumpers F $37, R $48 , master and slave rebuild kits $19 and $22, shift boot bushing kit $15, washer fluid bottle $18,

 

if anyone interested , heres a link to a thread I have going on the work on the "79. Will have new paint this summer

anyone going to world of wheels this weekend ?

 

Greetings from afghanistan. How are this winters projects going????

 

something tells me your not on vacation ........ send a pic

 

Hey anybody here own the black FD I saw sitting on sherbrook between westminster and sara avenue on march 30?

 

Well guys its just about time to pull the car out for another summer a few new parts cant wait see you guys out there

 

heres some randon dude with his donkey, and heres me with the truck i was in that day.

 

thats one kickass afgan ride (and a staggered setup)

play safe dude.

 

well I have my two sevens (both 90 turbos one black and one red) ready for the season I think the Red one will get somenew paint, new undercoating,new engine bay paint, and some replacement seats this year.

I have been in winnipeg for two years now but as a student could not afford to drive both my civic and my seven so this year I am working and thus more $$$ to drive both is there any scenes or meets for sevens in winnipeg?

 

The winnipeg rotary guys don't exactly have the best attendance record. Haha. There tends to be a lot of people saying they're going to come, while only a few actually show. But if you ever go to the autocross at the Red River Ex grounds, you're bound to see an FB or two. Lol.

 

Yeah I have heard that...
I guess Rx-7 owners are rebelling against the Honda Guy's whom are able to have regular meets and functions as well as have 20+ cars regularely in Winnipeg.

Lol... Poke Poke.

 

ourxseven whats the cost to paint your car and where O had the car out today

 

the general supplies , good quality paint , hardener, clear coat will cost about $1000. I had about 1500$ of body work done on top of that . The labour to prep , primer and paint the car was another $1000 . This was a cash deal out of province, done by a guy who does weekend work extra from his day job at a mazda collision shop. Was done between january and april this year.

 

Just wondering if any of you guys had a LIM for a third gen,that you would be willing to sell or know of one in the city. You can pm me.
Thanks Ryan

 

The Sun is in the air

 

I grew up in the Peg and left for BC in 1980. I always had fond memories of the people ("Friendly Manitobans"). I still have fam there (Bev & Troy; white WRX w/ gold wheels) and maybe someday I'll drive my beast back to the land of mosquitos and hail.

If any of you decide to drive down to BC for a vacation, there's a well known tuner here named Marko (ForceFed Performance) who specializes in rotaries. His shop holds the record for fastest import, for the last 3 years (low 10's in the 1/4 mile; soon to be 9's). I personally don't bring my car there 'cause it's not a rotary but my bro does and he's happy with them.

PEACE.

 

that's a real clean swap. nice ride

 

^^^^ +1

regardless how you feel about V8 swaps , you have to admit LS1's sure look good in the 7's bay

 

I'm just itching to get the FD out. Those storms int he west are creating havoc with our forecast though. Rain, snow
Atleast the rain will clean the streets up.

 

yea I wish you could get a map of the streets that have been swept and washed so we could drive just on those

the convertible won't be out until they're cleaner

 

I'm back in ontario for a week and picked up the '79 that was getting some body work and paint over the winter. Heres a couple early pics showing the "beat Black" paint and new front kamei spoiler

I'll be trying to to get the car to the 'peg by june .
