VA My first rotary

Hey everyone, I'm Zach and I'm out of the VA area and I just bought my first rotary. I picked up a Montego Blue 93 with 89k miles on it, came with a set of PF turbo's waiting to be put on. It needs some light TLC on the exterior, mainly getting rid of the Veilside rear bumper and projector head lights. My previous projects has been a 88 MX6 GT, 1989 Supra Turbo, 2004/2006/2011 WRX, and now the 93 FD

Welcome, Zach!

We do have a number of guys in your area. Once you get your post count up, check out the NE regional section. There is a thread in there for the Hampton Roads area.

Quite funny, gsl-se, I grew up in Goode and worked for Sonny's Racing engines when I was in college before joining the military and Media I'm on the USS Boise. Small world ain't it? thatjdmchic is my wife, she posted before I could get to a computer. I love the FD, she makes my MKIII Supra feel like a brick on ice in the handling department and its definately a head turner. The Secondary turbo is on its way out, but I have a set of Peter Farrell turbo's I'm going to throw on eventually once I get a larger intercooler and an Apexi Power FC.

Long live the RX7

I bought my 1993 RX7 new, I never regretted having this car. It is amazing that every single time for the last 18 years someone gives me the thumbs up, or asks me if I am selling it. If your a wall flower this is not a car for you. Great for a single guy or girl LOL. FYI for everyone, I never pushed my car usually shifted below 4500 rpm (of course I did occasionally) and it has lasted for over 128,000 miles with no major repairs. These cars are amazing. Mazda made a mistake in not continuing this style and pushing this car the way it should have been, but this website shows how the enthusiast can keep it rolling. Long live the RX7

Hey, Zach. Your wife mentioned that you two were married in her intro thread. She mentioned that you are in the Hampton Roads area. I told her that there in a thread in the NE regional section for guys in that area that you should check out. I haven't been over that way to meet with them yet, but I probably will one of these days.
