Hey, would like to say that I've been lurking on the forum for a long time and have a few posts up already, which are mainly in the PNW section. My name is Colin and I've been around the import scene for some time now. I am currently lead blogger for S12Silvia.com and Events Editor for NWMotiv.com. I have also had a couple of my blogs published on Speedhunters.com and my Nissan has been featured on the site.

I was given my 1991 RX-7 FC (NA) from my best friend before he had to move. It was having some slight issues and he couldn't continue transporting it as he moved every so often (Airforce). I knew more about cars than he did and if I didnt know, I have the connections to those who did. So as a present before he moved to NorCal he gave it to me. Ever since then I have been taking care of her and using her as my daily. I can safely say that it was the car I was looking for before I got my Nissan, which turned out to be my first car. At the time I couldn't afford the maintanence that an RX-7 required so ended up with my '87 Nissan S12.

I am looking to slowly build the car up so it is slightly modified while respecting the styling the car came with. There is not much I would change about the car anyway as it has beautiful lines as is.

There is not much more I can think of at the moment but I'm sure there will be plenty to say in the future as the car progresses and comes into its own.

 

Welcome!

From tacoma or seattle?

 

I am from Tacoma, sorry. I need to update my profile apparently.

 

I think i have seen your car around, in the neighborhood right by frisco freeze and stadium high school??

 

Welcome!

 

You would be correct. I dont live that far from UPS, which is near Frisko and whenever I jump on the freeway I take the back road that passes by Stadium

 

Yea i reconized the neighborhood in that picture, about 2 blocks away at my friends house we swapped my friends t2 and when we would do test drives we would drive right by your car and wonder who it was. It was a white s4 if you ever saw us.

 

Yeah, sure did see your car in the area. Another black S5 was local to me as well but havent seen it since just before Thanksgiving.

 

Yea you might have seen my s4 as well, it is blue. We ran into that guy, actually he stopped by while we were there and we talked for a couple minutes, it was a black s4 t2.

Edit: You said s5 so maybe we talking about someone else. Anyway if you need any help from a local, i live about 10 min away.

 

If you decide to sell that s12 let me know

 

It may have been the same guy. I only saw the darker FC from down the block and it looked like an S5 from what I could tell. Either that or I just wanted to see another S5 since they are indeed my favourite. So for all I know, it could have been an S4. I only saw the car from the front and I dont really notice the distance as well between S4 and S5 from the front but only from the back.

As for my S12, I'll keep it in mind; however, I doubt I'll be selling it any time soon. Love the car and it is a car I have yet to work with in getting ready to be a designated track car.

And thanks for the welcome guys. Looking forward to spending time with some FC guys, which are always the elusive and quite look upon with favour by many of us Nissan guys. Both the FC and FD are sexy cars and loved my heaps.

 

cool locals! im from bellevue, dont own an rx7 but i dig the car alot haha

 

Good lookin car! You go to any meets?

 

I havent gone to any dedicated RX7 meets as of yet but hope to change that this year. I go to meets and events all the time but usually with my S12 as it is more of the car people wish to see. My FC is my daily, which is not a bad choice since it needs to be driven more often than a typical engine demands. I have some plans for the FC but it will take some time and I have to contact potential sponsors and see if they are willing with this second project.

 

Thanks man. I am indeed particular that the black on black, hatchback, rwd chassis. Until a couple of years ago, I actually had an 84 944 that was part of the grouping.

 

I like 944's alot, i was actually trying to buy one before i got my first rx7.

 

Welcome to the group, I'm in Lakewood and rock a Black S4 TII. Hope you can make one of the RX7 meets, hope to don't forget to bring the FC.

 

Awesome! Welcome to the club!

 

Good stuff! Hope to see you at some meets this year then.

 

Naw, I wont forget to bring the FC. If I am going to a designated RX7 meet, I'll be sure to bring the FC. That doesnt mean you wont see my S12 if you go to other events such as Formula D or Forum Fest, but I would like to start getting my FC project started some time this year.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome. Nice cars

 

welcome, nice car

 

Welcome!
