Your in luck!! The rx3 will be there!
sold the FD to my neighbor! he made me an offer i could not refuse

 

​​​​​​​That is awesome and you have a rotary pal right next door!!!!

 

Anyone from Florida trailering? I just reserved a truck and trailer, but if someone is shipping let me know. We can get a deal....., probably not the best place to be asking this, but worth a shot.

 

No trailering here, I enjoy the drive up in the FD.

Why not drive up?
Are you just trying to save on putting miles on your car?

 

Miles, general wear and tear. The windshield. I often wonder about the longevity of the apex seals also. I enjoy cruises as the car is actually very comfortable, but not sure if it is better served blasting around.

I should say longevity of the housings, not the seals.

 

windshield? what's wrong with the windshield? afraid it might blow out going down the road or debris off the road/kicked up by another vehicle and breaking it? if u really r concerned with it's ability to make it there and back, trailer it. that way if something does happen, u have a way to get it back home rather than have the cost of renting a trailer, and possibly a tow vehicle, to get it back home. or just join a caravan of those coming up from FL that way ur not alone on the drive.

 

I have no doubt she will make it. It is as solid as any new car......, maybe more so than some.
I know a guy that knows a guy that cracked his windshield..... it isn't like he can just call safelit or whatever that thing is called. He can't get a windshield.

 

Since I'm driving the ~650 mile road trip in my FD (each way), your comment about the FD windshield availability got me concerned, so I just did a quick google for "1993 Mazda RX7 windshield". Good news is it appears to be readily available from a gaggle of online Mazda dealerships. Which typically means a shop like Safelite SHOULD be able to get one for you and install it, or if you're going to DIY the job, Ray Crowe can get you one for less cash.

 

Hmmmm... I will definitely take that into consideration. I guess I could just call Ray lol...

I may join the caravan after all.

 

I just decided to drive it. Save me some $800-900 and I do enjoy driving her...... The whole reason we are going up there lol.

 

Not sure your schedule but I’m leaving Melbourne FL on Wednesday around noon.
Drive up and spend the night just south of Atlanta where I meet up with the Pensacola rotary group.
We head out Thursday morning up to Microtel/our cabin.

Welcome to join us for the ride up. 👍
Steve

 

Thanks. As of now I may leave on the 26th and drive straight through. I had issues with trying to get through with Microtel so I got a place in Murphy NC which is pretty close by. As we get closer I will try and figure it out, but the caravan sounds fun!

 

Try that with my rx3 windshield!! lol

 

Good point lol..... I am running fuel line for the new fpr on as we speak. I just swapped 2200s for1700s. Getting her ready.

 

I see, no worries but if your day does change it'd be great if you join us for the drive up



After talking with @DaleClark my new plan is to meet up at the cabin on Wednesday the 27th.
So, Myself and another FD buddy will be leaving the Orlando area on Wednesday morning and driving straight through.

Open to anyone wanting to join for the drive up if so just post up or PM me

Steve

 

Looks like it's a going to be a great turnout this year! Just checked the DGRR website, there's 213 folks registered, with 177 rotary rides!

 

This looks to be the best turn out in a long time!!

 

Just an FYI, The old Muscle car building that we got to visit last year on our Friday Skyway drive will be available to us again this year! I spoke with Brandon, the owner, and he is more than happy to have us again!
For those that missed it..... You are in for a treat!

 

Did yall move the date? I was not planning on coming up cause it was scheduled earlier in the year (or so I recalled), but now I'll be in the area that weekend. I think Ill hit up the skyway drive and see the triangle powered cars, but I won't be in one myself.

 

April 27th - May 1st are official dates this year.

 

I may be leaving Ft. Lauderdale area late on the 25th.... I plan on straight through, but I may stop.
I installed my Sakebomb's fire extinguisher bottle mount today and have my low boost setting of 12-13psi tuned close to perfection with the new ID1700s. I am excited.

 

I think we are all excited!! Cant wait to meet you brother! It will be a good time for all! Be safe!

 

Going to get the FD all prepped this weekend, getting stoked!

Dale

 

Getting the SA ready as well. Adjustable shocks all around and fluids/filter changes. New RWL tires on waffles for the bling!

 

Get them rotaries ready just 9 more days
