Well congratulations on the find! What's the story and why did you go rotary?

Thanks for registering and welcome aboard, Carlos!

Thanks Mario.. well I just got stationed in Japan and the honest answer on why i went rotary is that i wanted a skyline or an RX7 once i got here, but once i saw that skylines here were a dime a dozen i wanted the RX7. I've always wanted one, so I figure i'd get one specially since there are few here where i'm stationed!

oh man, we are acutally restricted from being part of the "scene" here becasue of people getting in trouble but, ITS FRICKING CRAZY the kind of cars you see out here... i'll post some pics once i get some decent ones.

hey does anyone know why i cant post or pm anyone on the classified forum? i really need an affordable coilovers set up or a suspension set up and that part of the forum wont let me contact the sellers...

LOL everyone wants the skyline. All the people at the local car club here say they wish they could get their hands on the skyline, but 50% of them always respond with "because i saw it in fast and the furious" Being ex military myself I know what you mean when you say Restricted from being part of the scene, but really thats just to cover their own asses because its pretty common to get involved and then get hurt, lots of soldiers do it without thinking so be safe.

WOW! thats cool, right hand drive and all that. Its amazing how this car can connect people from all throughout the world. There is definently something special about the Mazda Rx-7!!!

Good luck with your car, hopefully its in good condition, and the previous owner took good care of the engine (oil changes and all that...). I myself am about to get a first gen Rx-7, so I'm planning on conversing with others who have the same car, to really learn.

Read this, paying special attention to the Classifieds rules:

Sgt Fox Rules for New Members posting...


And then this, "fill out" the questionnaire via C&P or tell a short story:

And then read each of these threads with their attachments/links and reply "read", you're only allowed one reply per thread:

And that should boost you close to the ten legitimate posts you must have before you can engage in selling or buying on this website. There's a reason for the craziness and yes, we delete PM's, reply posts and entire threads when we find them, if the New Member OP has less than ten posts.

Enjoy it while you're over there! I had a handful of Air Force friends that were stationed over there (mainly misawa) and they were all into cars and really made it a fun place to be.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that's a company based in japan that specializes in these rides in terms of aero/performance modification etc.
