New but old RX7 owner from NY

Hello, everyone! Please bear with me. I've not used a forum for some years.
Last weekend I purchased a 1988 N/A from its original owner. I'm working out some of the kinks of an older car but overall loving having one again. I had 2 first generation cars way back in the late 90's, a 4bbl 1979 and an '80 parts car. I am looking forward to having this car for many years. I've found so much info here already!

Welcome aboard. Don't worry about your forum savvy, I jack it up all the time. Have fun with the 88'.

Thanks for the welcome! I drive it every chance I get. Just ordered a bunch of parts to do some cooling system maintenance, sourced a good used engine (just in case), and am researching an electric fan conversion because fan clutches are not available for them locally. I cant wait to drive it more!

Howdy, fellow New Yorker! I'm from Orange County. Middletown area. How's the heatwave treating you up there?

Shitty as hell! I'm a full time mechanic so I'm stuck in the heat for 10hrs a day. Do you know anyone around us that has some 7s?

Same here! I'ts been miserable in the shop lately. There's a pair of first gens that rip around town together and a random RX8 that I see almost daily. Other than that, there's just mine. All the local scrapyards crushed their 7s a while ago.
