Is your car ever hanging around in Brandon? I've seen a red FB a few times that looks exactly like yours, nice looking car.

 

never seen brandon farthiest was portage last summer this car has 45000 km on it put about 3500 km a summer doing car shows ill have some parts comming in from the us from black dragon automotive this spring if you have not seen this site take a look this people are good

 

If your looking for someone to rebuild your engine and port it, you might have some trouble finding someone in winnipeg to do it. Fred might, but in my opinion, I would not have him rebuild my engine.

The only other place that I know does alot of work on rotary's (tuning, modifications, not sure about rebuilds but its worth a shot), is wall's rod and custom.

Before I started working on my cars and had no mechinical inclination I went there to have some bolt on's done. They did excellent work. If I remember correctly they also did some work on the 20b 3rd gen thats here in winnipeg.


As for a meet, check out winnipegheights.com in the mazda section. Thats usually the first place a meet is posted, then cross posted here. Lately though are meets havent been that great, either because of weather, poor turnout, or the spot we chose was just too busy and nobody knew where to go.

 

Yeah, I'm pretty familiar with that site, lots of good parts for old school cars, I heard alot of their carpets are horrid though, off color, bad fitment, and the like. Any word on any kind of meet in the spring, I feel like I'm the only one in a 7 around here, I'm usually down in Winnipeg once a month, I wouldn't mind taking the trip to hang with some rotor heads.

BTW not missing much in Brandon lol, 45,000 pop or so, we have cruise nights in the summer, but its the same people, muscle car guys, and ricers. There's a few people who are into JDM cars and what not, but none of em go to the meets. Last big car show we had, best import award went to a Dodge Neon lol. Its sad.

 

Happy New Year guys all the best

 

anyone got a starter for sale for a fc? i got a tII. is there a difference in starters for turbo and n/a??

 

I may have a N/A one in my garage, you can have it if you want to come get it.

 

hey all you winnipeg 7 owners, last month i bought an 84 rx7 for a project to do in the springtime, plans have changed and im moving out of winnipeg in the late spring so i need to sell my project. its an 84, white, 12a 5spd 160k, not running!, looking for 400-500$ want it to go to someone who will use it for parts or restore it to its former glory! shoot me an offer, or i will even trade for some car stereo equiptment!, shoot me an offer!

 

What colour is the inside is it a gsl or gs

 

I really dont "need" another project,but
DIBS!

You have a PM sir!

 

I'm from Winkler MB, got a 92 FD

 

Nice FD man, pretty sure I've seen it around, black rims with blue lip? Enkeis?

 

Nope they're SSR's, but it is originally from the city. But you probably have seen this one, a guy named Kyle Pearce owned it before I did.

 

Well it looks like spring is on its way cant what to get the car out see you guys soon

 

anybody do any upgrades over the winter on their cars or buy parts etc ?

The 600$ white '79 I bought for parts last year in the city was a great buy. I got the rebuilt engine it had put in the other '79 Limited that had bad oil seals . I sold the red interior and header for $600. I also sold the old RX4 engine I bought for $75 to a guy for $500 rebuilding an RX4 in Ontario. This paid for the stripped white '79 shell to get shipped with the RX4 engine to Ontario .

I'm getting the white '79 repainted black throughout and bought a set of black interior parts over the winter for it from various places ( forum , ebay,kijjij, mazda etc.. Its getting a '91 turbo 2 engine put in this spring . Hopefully will get it back out here for the summer or fall

I fixed the broken power antenna on the 89 vert with a new mazda part .

Also bought brand NEW OEM badges for the 1st gens from mazda . WOW are they nice . You don't need to go to Black Dragon or ebay for these used and they are cheaper form Gerry Gordons ... talk to MARK in parts if you want some of these . They were found in warehouses in the US and Japan. Were generally less than $C 20 a piece, and no shipping charges through mazda

 

Hey all,
Its been a long time since i have been around. This is james and i used to work on rx7's with jim. I still have my fc but it hasnt seen the road for about 3 years now. just couldnt get it running right after porting and what not. im thinking about working on it again this spring to see if i can get it running right but i havent had any luck this far and i had give up for a good year or so.

 

James! How's it going little buddy? Long time no speak. U still haven't listened to me about ur car!!u need to buy a regular holley 460 carb and a manifold to fit(racing beat) and switch over to a distributor. Fred will have lots. That car will fly like a bat outta hell!! Thinking of one day resurecting my fc. Throw the full bridgeport in there. When are u gonna come visit me? Erik too! U need to come out for a weekend with ur car and ur snowboard and we will hit louise in the day and get the car tweaked at night! U should pm me or something!

Yes, I am easily amused

 

The FD is out on the roads

Whooo hoooooo.

Still keeping the winter tires on the Subaru STi in case it snows, which I still expect to happen, but otherwise the RX-7 becomes the daily driver (fair weather driver).
