New to rotarys!

Hi guys. My name is Kai. Just sold my car. Currently only have a motorcycle to commute. But I am in the market for an rx7 been looking at them for a while. I have lurked around the forums a while. Now that I am ready to buy I figured I should join. I am from Alexandria Virginia. I hope to learn a lot here and also hope to give a little advice.

Well, after reading all the rules I'm thoroughly confused but am more aware of what is not tolerated. My name is Jeff K. and living in Greeneville TN after having moved back here after 8 years of living in Charlotte, NC. I have owned now (3) Rx7's in my time. My first was cira mid 80's. and the same color of my latest, a silver '83. Anyway, I look forward to talking with you ya'll to learn more about "her"and how to diagnose and repair what I can as well as figuring out what improvements I might make. Sorry Kai for butting in on your original post to introduce yourself.

there isn't much that isn't tolerated, just being an *** in general is something to avoid and keep in mind that the technical help you receive is from regular people who aren't getting anything from doing so besides helping others out.

No problem imax.

Thanks tem. Loving the car. Handles great. Haven't really gotten into boost yet. Breaking in the new motor.
Plan on fixing the cars audio. It has a nice head unit. But seems previous owner disconnected the antenna 0.o
She has boost and water temp gauges. But they seem to need to be hooked up. So I will have to figure out how to do that.

Other then that I ordered a strut bar for a good price and will be getting security and keyless entry this weekend.

It is stock except for apexi Pfc and a catless downpipe.
Loving it.

Yea. What does it measure boost in?
It would just be nice to have the two center pod gauges actually working instead of just sitting there lol
They light up but no movement. Haven't really taken a look at it.
