introduction

Hey there, I am a newbie - gotta love it. I signed up because I need help. I love my RX7 and use it now for autocross after its short distinguished career as my daughters driver. She now drives a Honda civic hatch. 32 mpg on regular gas and room for stuff.
That love for the rx7 is sort of a love hate thing. I love the way it handles, hate the fact that it wont run without spewing out coolant. More on that in the technical thread.
Happy motoring.

Coolant issues resolved - maybe

We love the autocross. My daughter likes the rear wheel drives ( smart kid) while my son ( the genius) likes his front drive. I like when he drives the RX7 cause I beat him.
The coolant was coming out of the overflow. Hopefully that is fixed now. I added Alumaseal to the coolant, idled for 50 minutes, shut down for a few hours, then drove about 15 miles without any loss of coolant or annoying buzzer. So hopefully that means it is fixed for good.
Thanks for the welcomes.
