Hey from Baghdad

Hey its Btown currently in Baghdad, Iraq... The greatest place on earth... Recently bought a 1990 RX7 13B 60,000 miles off ebay ... I don't know too much about Rotary engines but that is why I'm here. I'll post pictures of her soon. I'll do my best to look at, what seems to be some really great information before I ask a stupid question! Can't wait to get back the states and enjoy my RX7...

Well, first, many thanks for your service to the country!

Second...oh, dear Lord...you bought a car off eBay strictly from the pictures on the website...? Please tell me you had someone look it over that could touch the car. I guess it goes w/o saying, you are indeed a brave fellow all around. Let us know all about the beast when you hit stateside again.

In the meantime, there's plenty of reading to do! Thanks for taking the time to register and welcome aboard to RX-7 Club!

no worries, I bought my car while in Afghanistan last year without ever seeing it. I used the collective opinions of the guy from this site to decide. I was very glad I did as my car is the best ever. Congrads on purchase. I can't say I feel your pain though I havent been to baghdad since 2009.
