Hey everyone, my names Austin. I got my first Rx-7 (and first car) about a month ago It's a 1985 GSL. It's got issues but I've had lots of fun with it so far and hope to make it a lot more fun in the future. I'm in the autoshop program at my school, and have access to a shop, which I use primarily to work on it.

 

Welcome to the forum Austin!!
Like your car ..My ex-wife has issues too and I still have Fun with her!
Like the time I asked her if the gas tank was leaking,then I ran over her..That WAS hilarious!..That was fun....!..Just kidding..!)

 

Hahaha thanks misterstyx69!

I'm stoked to be part of the forum!

 

Welcome! What auto school are you in? Or it's a high school with an auto program?

 

Hey There Austin!
Welcome to the Forum!
Congrats on the FB.
My name is Tim and I am also from the Seattle area.
When you get the time, it would be great to see the car in person .
is it stock or do you have/had/will do any mods to it?

Feel free to PM me if you would like the info on some of the meets around the WA area.

later man

As for mods, the car is completely stock. I haven't done anything performance yet, but I replaced my steering box a couple weeks ago and took out my A/C system because it wasn't hooked up and was broken. The steering box that the car came with had about 7-8 inches of slop before it would even move the wheels!
I'd like to get rid of anything that I don't need (like emissions) and make the car as light as possible, as well as doing the front and rear end bushings and suspension and such. Then probably some power mods
