thought id just say hi and give you all a little rundown of who i am.
well i guess ill just start with my name and go on from there.
my name's Nathan Krieger, i live in Edmonton Alberta Canada, I'm about to buy my first Rx-7 tomorrow morning, i was a strictly muscle guy just but now I've started to like the drifting cars and RWD Japanese cars. so i decided to buy one asap.
anyone in Alberta hit me up and well go for a drive when i get my second job.

Well, Nathan, it is now past that point in time, so what happened? In any case, thanks for saving another RX-7 from being sent to the crusher, right?

Thanks also for registering and welcome to RX-7 Club!

well i bought it on august the 12th, and she drives like a dream, a little on the loud side cause its a strait pipe from the headers all the way to the dual mufflers (and i mean like no even a 1 degre bend on the thing till the spit for the duals) and she has the jitters from about 50-160kph (misbalenced drive shaft and he gave me a balenced one to install so im doing that tomorow), and she leaks about a liter to 2 liters of coolent a day (about 250km of drving a day for me cause im in love with this car, also going to have a look at wtf is going on when its up on the lift while i change out my driveshaft), and i think the imput bearing for the transmittion is on its way out (started wining after driving for 100 or so km after i bought it but its got 277XXX km on it so it might just be old cause the fluid is brand spanking new and the guy before me was in love with this car as well, but he gave me 2 transmission's to go with it, one compleate and one disasembled).

and thank you for a warm welkome

Do you do paint and body work yourself?

Helikaon

well if i want to i can, but ill probably get the paint done profesionally and the body work ill do myself, and ill probably do the primer myself too.

If you can paint it yourself that way you wont regret it later on.

Helikaon

yeah but if a shop does it and they **** up they have to redo it for free, cause im allways there when work is done on my cars, i never leave eyesight from my car if i can help it.
