greetings from Iraq. i heard about this site from a friend of mine with an RX8, said its a good place to go for someone like me who wants an RX7. just hit the 12 month mark of a 15 month deployment and have all this money saved up. so what is a man to do? well get the car of my dreams of course. wish me luck on finding a good deal.

Hey, where will you be in Cali when you get back?

RCN_SNIPER

well i will be stationed in Schofield Barracks, hawaii. but i plan on going to san jose state in fall of 09' so i can be an officer. but i used to live in the brentwood/tracy/antioch area. where abouts are you?

ChargerX3

oh...so that will be awhile. Im in Vacaville

RCN_SNIPER

yeah, but in march right after i get back, i will be home for a month and thats when ill buy my FD. i plan on not ever leaving the drivers seat while im home. kind of that kid at christmas syndrome where he gets exactly what he has always wanted.

ChargerX3

Sounds like fun. Just dont go crazy in it.

BTW since im a noob what does FD stand for? I sees it everywhere.

RCN_SNIPER

its all good man, i had to post a thread to ask the same thing. it goes by generations of RX-7s such as:
Gen 1- FB
Gen 2- FC
Gen 3- FD (93'+)

heh, look at my number <--- Isn't that why we are all restricted to post in the noob section? So we don't bug the forum vets with our noobosity?

Good luck w/ finding your car and yes please, stay safe (and thank you).

Perhaps my cousin and I will find the FC we've been looking for here (San Jose and Menlo Park areas) and will cruise by soemtime.

Good luck getting the car, after you keep your head down for a lttle while longer. Nice screen name, are you an M24 or 50 kind of guy? I like 338lm myself. Be safe.

RCN_SNIPER

well its soo hard to choose. i have to admit, i have not gotten to shoot a .338 lapua. but my M24A2 is a half MOA tackdriver. its a beautiful weapon. however, when i was in sniper school, one of the instructers brought out a .300 win mag and we all took turns at plinking targets at a mile.

rolstoys

Sounds like your m24A2 is made for you. I just picked up a 5R (remington's civie version) and have to start load development for it. I was going to spend more time on .408 ct till the bullet availability dropped out. Your instructor just goes to show that the 300wm is still a great option. Are you thinking about an FD rx7 or FC?

RCN_SNIPER

i'm deff looking at an FD, i've pretty much always wanted one and now is my chance when i get back from this sandbox. i do enjoy reloading my own rounds, i wish i could reload my M24. the rounds we have are accurate, but i think i can do better.
