My FD is Mazda MX5 Forest Green from the 2007 model.

Looks black most of the time. Sun brings out the colour.

Russ.

ps
I think I have decided not to go to Tsukuba.

I'm sure my friends will take heaps of vid and pics so i wont miss anything.

Next time I go to Tsukuba, I'm want to drive on the circuit.

Shall do.

I was talking to the revolution guys at Autobacs. It didn't sound like they would make it with the new TA1 GT body machine.

Close but not 100% finished.

So basically PAN Speed and RMagic head to head.

But next year they are planning a RACE event for the tuners at Tsukuba around July.
It has a little info in the latest Rx7 magazine.

RE-A are building a new car for that one too.

Russ.

Hi guys, I'm new to the forums, and Im living here in Setagaya, Tokyo. I recently moved from Canada but worked for Honda Japan 4 years ago, and FET California offices up until this year.

I will be going to the event on Thursday and just seeing if anyone has a seat open in exchange for gas money. I can meet up anywhere, anytime. I have a few friends who will be at the track, but Its always nice to ride up and meet some car/race enthusiasts here in Japan.

Cheers,
Patrick

tnd2gen: I think it will be hard for someone to agree to giving a ride to someone whom we know nothing about and whom has 1 post (the above). If you make it out to the track it would be great to meet you, as the amount of RX7/ rotary loving foriegners in Japan is no big number. Hope you can figure out a way to get there cause it will be a great event although a bit cold.

Circuit Theory, thanks for the reply, and I completely understand this predicament and wasn't expecting open arms, just putting it out there.

ReXtreme: sounds like that sumer time attack event will most likely be for july 7th (RX7 Day) don't you think?

I really hope that does happen but we can't expect the greatest times to be clocked during the summer heat and potential for rain that time of year

If anyone is interested in taking the train. Ill be going tomorrow morning. You can email me tonight at tnd2gen@yahoo.com. I lived in Japan 3 years before, so I can get around ok.

I imagine the tricky part will be the bus ride from the station, as the Taxi's are too expensive but I will researche tonight.

NOTE: Probably best to meet in Shinjuku, I live in Setagaya Tokyo

tnd2Gen,
You'll surely be able to get a lift back, Its getting there thats a hassle.
Hope it works out

Okayama! haha.

they have the Race listed as 7/18 in the mag. something about a reference to
SEVEN to EIGHT

All the guns were at a meeting .

PAN, REA, RMAG, SCOOT, KNIGHT, REVOL, SANAI, AND MORE.

I wonder if they want to transform my car into a Time attack Race car... Hmmm

Russ.
