Hey there. Dave here signing in from Okinawa in southern Japan. Don't have an RX-7, but I'm very close to taking N3philum's FC off his hands. That is, if I can get any idea as to why it's not starting!

Not got any experience with rotaries, but am always up for a new challenge. In Japan I've had a very slow Mazda Carol, and then a pretty damn quick drag-ready Mitsubishi Evo I, and am currently rolling about in a Suzuki Alto Works (3-cylinders and 660cc of turbocharged goodness!).

Anyway, if I do get hold of this car I'll probably be using this site as a big resource for info. Excuse any initially dumb questions. I learn quickly though!

 

welcome man! i wanna visit japan sometime soon once i get the funds .

 

yes this site does alot of knowledgeable ppl most of your questions you can find a solution for on this site

 

Thanks guys. Well it looks like I'll be asking a lot more questions here as I've told N3philum that I'll be taking his red FC off his hands. I'm just hoping I've not bought a big red paperweight!

 

Japan calling? This is Japan here.
We don't want any, sorry....

See: Exploding Rotary.

 

hey Dude, welcome aboard.
Was station on Kadena back in '80.

 

got to be something simple, keep us posted as i would like to know what the heck is wrong with that thing myself.

 

is it a right hand drive?

 

Of course - it's JDM!

 

this site got my FC started

 

Well I'm confident some ideas on here combined with me randomly prodding at things with a screwdriver will get it started soon!

 

Welcome , bro

 

You get that thing home yet, or to a place to work on it.

 

I'm in a bit of a dilemma with that. I could do with getting it down to my place somehow (which is quite a way in the time it takes, not so much the distance), but where it is means that it's much closer to people who know about those cars and who have a much more comprehensive set of tools.

 

awww your lucky i wish i had the money to visit japan i envy you your so jdm right now lol welcome

 

A few not-very-exciting pics to whet the appetite of my still non-starting FC3S. Hopefully the situation will change after this weekend.

 

wish i was there! clean fc my friend! even in japan there are no stock radios!

 

Haha. Think it's just that the radio was raped out of this one before it was put up for sale
