BC Noob alert! -.-

Hey there, my name is Ben and im 18 years old from Canada BC. I just bought a 1981 rx-7, its my first car and i love it!

I dont know much about rotaries, or even that much about cars yet. But I look forward to learning more about my car and meeting everyone.

Ben, we all start from somewhere but at least you get to start with the right car right off the bat! You don't see those rims anymore, so take care of them, they look really good on the car.

Thanks for taking the time to register and welcome aboard to RX-7 Club! The more 1stgen folk who join, the better, I always sez!
