WA Hello! From Washington

Hi guys, i been searching around on these forums for quite some time now and i thought it would be time to join. Im From Lynnwood Washington "seattle area". You can call me Sean or Etzim. im 17 and im currently attending sno isle tech in everett by Boeing. Im training to be a diesel mechanic Its my second year there, i plan on moving up north when i graduate to attend Skagit Valley community college.

I currently own a 92 eg civic hatchback with a fresh b16 sir II swap.
yeah who cares right? ^ I plan on getting out of the honda fwd game. I been looking around and im in LOVE with the rx7 fc.

Im going to sell my car and use the money i get to buy a clean 87-92 rx7 shell or car with a blown motor. Obviously it will be clean ;D. Then i plan on ordering a jdm 13BT from the newer 89 model with the 202hp since there so damn cheap, ill be swapping it in the 7 i buy. It seems to be really hard to find the 13bt rx7s in washington. so thats what i plan on doing. I look forward to being apart of this community. Thanks for reading!

Welcome, Sean!

Sounds like a good plan. Let us know if you run into any questions.

Try Kent and Bremerton/Whidbey you'll see some pretty good cars roll thru where the racers seem to be more popular. I miss home, has it been a good year?

Will do.

The weather last summer was pretty terrible, probably one of the worst in a while. But lately the past few months we have seen quite a bit of snow. Not really sticking tho, been really cold too. where did you move to?

I just moved out of that area (I'm in Ohio, now). There is a pretty strong Mazda community up there.

Just a little update guys. I can't believe im considering this, i really love my eg but i found a 7 and the guy REALLY REALLY WANTS TO TRADE. ill post some pics and you guys can tell me what you think.

The exterior is mint, no body dmg really. the paint isnt to great but i plan on painting it. The interior is in great shape for an 88 rx7. odometer says 157k but he said it might have been rebuilt before he got it. Comes with a ton of stuff. it comes with tear drop rims and tires, motegi dp6 rims POLISHED. Welded diff. extra diffs and axles. extra from bumper. extra hatch and a 5 lug conversion. Megan exhuast and thats about it. MY eg hatch has faded red paint. Minor body dmg and a b16a sir II swap iwht 40k miles on it with an lsd diff. I'm thinking of just going for it. I been reading into ROLL on paint and i have heard nothing but good things about it. better than maaco!! supposedly. Graduation is coming up soon and all i want is a 13bt swap thats it!. tell me what you guys think/

Help me guys !
I have owned many RX 7s since 1994. I currently I have 4 SA22C models, including what I like to call a lucky model as the chassis number is SA22C 700707 !
I have lived in Japan and have many stories to tell.
Anyway I'm from Australia and glad to finally be on here.

Looks good, mean the paints not all the same, but it has character.

I personally require FD, but I play rough with Supra/Evo communities. To each they're own.
