New guy from Euless, TX

Hey guys new guy here. Just thought i'd introduce myself. I am here to gain knowledge of what may be my future weekend/tract car. I have a fascination with these cars and because of that fasinatination I have bought rebuild dvds and search all over the web for info. What better place to learn about this fantastic car then a forum!

Recently I have decided to get back into the world of cars but wanted a specific car. My choice was either Miata or RX7. Recently got to get behind the wheel of an RX7 and was impressed. The handling was amazing! My choice is now leaning more towards the RX7. Just by that drive alone I am starving to learn more about what makes the RX7 tick. Sooo...here I am.

Sorry about the long intro but when I get going I can't stop lol. I know you guys probably get the people who come and go here but I am looking to really learn about this car. Anyway....see you guys around.

Lol I have heard the same thing from another friend. It's safe to say I will be getting an FC RX7. Still doing research at this point. I want to know this car inside and out!

I figured id start with a NA model and get familiar with rotary there then jumping straight to a Turbo model.

Still have the amigo? What are you doing back down here? Work, school? There are plenty of cheap fc's that pop up around here for around 1k, I'm sure you'll find something you can call your own.

Na the Amigo is gone. I have always been down here but had a lot of things I had to take care of job and financial wise. So I been M.I.A. for quite some time. I am looking at a couple FCs now. There are some in fairly decent shape. I should have one the beginning of December.

youre just "up the road" from arlington where i take to stepping. welcome to club rx and i think youll be better off with an rx-7 for a track car for sure. the mx-5 is such a feminine car, after all.

Well guys I have my first 7! Its and 86 N/A. Runs nice, decent body, and the interior is in good shape, and it sits on tokico blues. Need to change a tranny mount, seems to have exhaust leak, and now it has a bouncing idle around 1500rpms.

Other then that for a 25 year old car im happy with it. Now......time for the headaches to start !
