MO Noob

Hey whats up, my name is Steve and I have always loved the rx-7's and am looking at buying a '87 turbo II. Right now I drive a 2007 Scion tC and the FC would be my toy/weekend warrior. I will likely only do suspension/performance mods while trying to keep the integrity of the car and fix it up to look nice. I live in St Louis, MO and am currently in Chiropractic School (similar to Med school). I love cars and love to work on them. I have a decent knowledge of electronics, I am currently an mobile audio installer on the weekends which I have been doing for 5 years now. Let me know if you have any questions on that stuff and would be glad to give advice/help.

If anyone has any input on buying an 87 turbo II let me know..I just went and looked at it tonight and will likely go get it tomorrow. I took pics if anyone wants to see them.

Where at exactly in St.Louis? We have quite a few members in the area, just nobody really ever comes out and plays. You should check out the Midwest section for everything St.Louis.


There's also a Dyno Tuning session coming up at the last weekend of November, you should try to make it out there.

I am 20 minutes from Downtown STL. You can still come out to the meet, it's just going to be the local guys and few from up north in Chicago and Wisconsin.


You can also meet Steve Kan, one of the best tuners in the U.S.

well just made an offer on a car tonight so I should have it by either tomorrow night or sat morning. I hope this car is a good deal it seems like it. Not extremely worried though since it will not be my DD so if I need to fix stuff I can. Maybe someone local would go with me to pick it up?

apparently my reply never made it up.....so I will do it again.

I just made an offer on a TII and am going to get it tonight or tomorrow morning. The problem is I know plenty about normal internal combustion engines but don't know crap about a rotary. I am trying to get someone who knows about them to take a look at the car with me before I had the cash over. Is there anyone in the STL area that would want to go with me?
