CA New to the Forum

Hey there,

I've been looking for an RX7 for some time and have been lurking here for a while. Figured I should finally register as a member in case I ever wanted to actually try to buy one haha. Look forward to interacting with some of you kind folks.

Welcome. Are you looking for a FB, FC or FD? The latter being much harder to come by theses days?

Definitely looking for an FD and yeah I have noticed a bit of a drought. I’ll keep my fingers crossed though!

It’s struggle finding one man and when they come up you can’t sleep on it. I spent 5 months looking and missed 2 of them by a couple hours. Luckily I knew a guy that wasn’t a motivated seller and was able to get it off him with no competition. Good luck in your search brother!

Welcome to the forum. I spent 6 years looking across the country until I landed on mine, and I've had it 4 years now. Definitely worth the wait, and don't settle! Cheers!

Thanks man, I definitely hope I don't have to wait that long. Glad you found your ride though =]

those last 3 posts within a minute or 2 of each other looks to be borderline spamming for post count. that's a no-no and will result in post deletion. if ur replying to multiple people, i suggest quoting them in ur replies.

Weird, I did it on desktop and it was a reply directly to what people posted. I guess it works different? On mobile it only shows quote and not reply but on desktop it gave the reply option so I used that. Apologies, didn’t really think it worked differently.

yeah, i figured as much. not sure what's visible on the mobile side as i use a computer for internet stuff, but there is way to view the site as a computer from a mobile device. each post have; quote, multi quote, quick reply, and like buttons. the multi quote will let u quote more than one person in a single reply.

went back and edited in all the missing quotes so people understand who I was responding to. Thanks for pointing that out, didn’t mean to make it seem like I was being scummy. Just here to chat people up about cool cars =]

Why would people want to spam posts anyway?

I definitely think FCs are beautiful, but when spending this much money I feel like I should just wait until I find what I really want haha. Only downside is the potential of waiting years for my FD lol.

Just a quick update, wanted to let you guys know that I found and went to pick up my (new to me) FD over the weekend. Super excited to have it in my hands, just need to take it for a tune-up and a look over so that I can get ready to pass CA smog. Appreciate all the support I got from you guys and you'll probably be seeing more from me around here haha. Quick picture below =]

Congrats and welcome to the Montego brotherhood.

What part of California are you from? Bay Area perhaps? If so there are a few of us who hang out once in a while and you're welcome to join us next time. We mostly just bitch about our cars and stuff. Maybe help each other out with installs but usually flake on each other when it comes to that. lol

Thanks man, absolutely loving the color.

I'm in Glendora so the bay is a bit far unfortunately. May be nice to go to a meet every now and then though, especially when I do some work on it. I'm not super social but everywhere I go people are pulling up to me so I guess I'm going to have to start lol.
