AZ New Member from Mesa, AZ

Hello forum members. I am brand new to the RX7 clan and recently purchased my first specimen, a worn and battered 1982 GSL with a 5-speed. It currently does not have an engine and the interior is pretty well gone. My intentions are fairly simple with it, I bought it as a potential 24 Hours of Lemons car and at this point I am pretty well set on putting a small block V8 in it instead of buying the other half of the 12A engine I would need, and rebuilding it for about the same cost as the V8. I'm sure this aggravates some of the die hard rotary heads here, but when you're building a car with $500 you don't have much to work with and the increased power output of the V8 is enticing.

As for me, I have worked in the auto industry for the past 10 years in some capacity, and have been doing my own mechanical work for the past 15. I have built a few dirt circle track 4-cylinder cars in the past and would love to build some more. In the past I have found forum boards very useful, especially ones with a decent set of guidelines like this one. Hopefully my membership here can be mutually beneficial to myself and other members. Thanks!

The members here would like to Welcome you to the Forum BUT you should state your name so they can address you by such.
After all if you do not INTRODUCE yourself then the whole "Introduction post" really is Irrelevant..right?(That is why they just get wiped.,.no name no Intro..)
