NC Newbie from North Carolina

Hey,my name is Chris aka Kiba and I am rather new to Mazda.. first time owning a rotary as well..

My Mazda was bought off my brother after sitting under a tree and covered in pine needles and leaves for almost a year,after a bit of cleaning up and a few electrical gremlins taken out she runs but a bit rough.

As for pictures.. please don't yell at me for the huge "Boo boo" in the passenger fender.. brother got clipped and parked it after the insurance totaled it out.


And sorry for the size of the photos was taken with my cell phone...





And there you have my 150$ investment into Mazda... Wish me luck guys!

Chris, hopefully your bro' sold it to you for a mucho reasonable price considering he already got "paid" for it and obviously had no more plans for it. Thanks for deciding to resurrect the beast and welcome aboard to RX-7 Club!

The more 1stgen folk who join, the better! I got a couple of them myself.

I actually got it for only 150$ and she runs great now.. has a little trouble starting now and then but i think its because i am not use to starting a carbed car

And sadly that is too long of a drive for me.. a tank and half of gas x.x

Yep, look in your engine bay, you will have a little chrome plaque that has your vin, chassis code, and a few other things. I collect those from Nissans and Mazdas whenever I go to junkyards...
