I've been a fan of the Rx-7 for 15 years or so. My first Rx-7 was a 1983 GS. I bought the car from a dealership here in MN and it was in near mint condition. The car was originally an automatic but I ended up converting it to a manual. I also installed a Weber carb with intake which I purchased from the local Rx-7 Heaven (back then the shop was located in Rosedale, MN). My second Rx-7 was a 1989 GXL with low miles, I think it had 70,xxx miles when I bought it, again, from a local dealership. My third Rx-7 is the one I currently drive, a 1984 GSLSE. The engine has been rebuilt and the shell has also received attention. My goal is to learn more about the car to a point where I can self-diagnose and self-tune the car. I still consider myself a novice but I hope to improve my knowledge and understanding of the car (electrical, engine, drive train, performance, etc). I currently have a number of questions I hope this group can help me solve so I'm excited to be a member of the Rx-7 Club. My ultimate goal is to turn the car into a decent track car that I can take out to one of the local tracks (Bemidji International Raceway) two or three times each summer.

 

Got through that whole Introduce yourself post and still forgot your name.

Thanks for the reply, David, and also congrats on finding an -SE! Here recently, it seems just about 40% of the 1stgen folk joining have found one which is quite amazing considering how expensive these beasts were back in the day.
