CA Lemon's RX7

Hey Everyone,

I went in on a rx7 w/ a few friends of mine to get into the Lemon's races. It its a 89 chasis w/ a 91 engine. We tore it all apart and now putting it back together, everything is looking good hopefully it starts ( it has not in over 3 yrs).

It's interesting how many people we get joining the website because of an interest in that LeMons series. Good luck with the racer, Pedro, and thanks for joining the right crowd!

We went w/ a RX7 because I am a Mazda fan, I got a 99 Miata myself, and we have a rotary expert. What is the success rate on the LeMon's builds here?
