Hello!

I’ve been a member on this site many moons ago, but have no idea what my login credentials or emails used was. Time to start a new!

Anyway, I have a ‘93 Rx7 that I bought about 13 years ago with the intentions of swapping out the drivetrain which I did about 12 years ago.

Right now I’m in the middle of a new paint job that I’m attempting for the first time. Never painted a car before! Lots of work! Going with a matte white with some black accents. Should look pretty sharp.

Anyway, just shooting in a quick hello!

 

welcome back. what was ur ID then? start a build thread with progress pix. has it been pretty reliable so far? any story on it?

 

Not too sure on my last usernames. I think one was Broken Wankel and I think I had another as Rx7dood. Was never a particularly active member though. Never made a build thread. Also never documented my build lol. So that thread will never happen.

It’s been incredibly reliable. Only real issue I’ve had was a coupling break off the jerry rigged clutch piston. I have trouble starting her up too so I messed something up in the fuel delivery department. Runs smooth once started though!

Started life as a beat up neglected base automatic. No longer has the rotary, but she’s definitely living a better life now than before. Trying to get back into autox and such. I used to do it all the time in Ohio before moving to Texas.

 

Where did you AutoX at in Ohio? I’m from NE Ohio and used to also track my NC...

 

I autocrossed in the Columbus area with the Ohio Valley Region SCCA back in 2007-08.

A lot of fun and I certainly miss it. Not a lot of that kind of stuff here in Austin.

Thing that sucks the most about moving down here though is that when I built my car in Ohio, I didn’t need AC. Never bothered to put it in. Definitely regret that decision now lol.
