I just picked up my '79 rx7. I think it is the 3190th off the line. It is in pretty good shape of the age.
It is my first introduction to the rotary engine and I think it is awesome!! A simple design with so much power from two rotors.
I want to keep the old original look. but over time I want to add some performace improvements (Exhaust and intake). This weekend I plan to change the transmission and rear end oils. I attached the only picture I have. (No time for picture taking too much fun driving this toy!!)
I look forward to learning from all the vetrans and hope I can eventually contribute to the club as well.

 

welcome to the board... and glad to see you wanting to keep the car stock!

 

wow the car looks great for the age! it has an awesome paint

 

WELCOME, I love the 1st gens, but i cant fit in them anymore 6'6"

 

i like 1g's. i almost got a mint white one BUT oldskool isnt my style. 2nd gen is. red is a nice color for RX-7 good pic

 

Are you sure thats a 79 because that is MINT! don't put anything other then stock on that and throw collector plates on that because it is deserving of nothing less. Don't turn it into one of these SA/FBs that are mutilated for no gain

 

looks mint dude...


welcome fellow newbie lol

 

Wassup Man, welcome to da club, and great car !

Nice car. Keep it stock I have an 85 GSL with 52,000km and she is still running true!!!

 

Welcome to the board, Ive got an 85 GS with 140somethingthousand miles. It dont run true, but thats because I pulled the engine to make room for the 13btII that Im rebuilding (in my kitchen of all places). If I had your car though, I wouldnt touch a thing, That car looks fresh and so clean.

 

Welcome!

Those first gen's are nice you seem to have a nice jewel there!
