reintroducing myself - parts fabricator, just bought an '87 TII
Hey y'all!
My name is Kurt, I'm 24, and I'm from the suburbs of Boston MA. I joined RX7 club in 2006 when a good friend bought a GTU, and I have been occasionally creeping forum here and there ever since. I've been thinking about buying an FC for the last couple years. I've done autocrosses and HPDE track days with my VR4, but I want to get into Hillclimb racing. We have the NEHA, New England Hillclimb Association. Looks like a lot of fun, and I thought an FC would make a great hillclimb car.
I'm no stranger to turning a wrench- I've owned, in somewhat chronological order: Dodge Stealth
Mitsubishi Starion
300ZX TT (Z32)
1972 Olds Cutlass Supreme
Porsche 944 Turbo
Jeep CJ7
Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
Chevy K1500
1967 Camaro SS (clone)
'92 Suburban 2500HD 2wd w/ a 455 (tow rig)
And now an 87 TII.
I still own the VR4 and the suburban and have every intention of being buried with them. I'll go into more detail on the RX7 in another thread, but here I want to let everyone know what I do.
I started a business in 2010 called Latitude 42 Motorsports. It's an auto parts design and fabrication studio where I manufacture limited production runs and one off parts for the motorsports community. Most of the stuff I make is for the Z16A platform (3000GT and Dodge Stealth) but I'm always up for expanding to new markets. Right now I'm working on reproducing the pivot popup headlight controller. The company went out of business years ago and they're getting very hard to find. I'm making them for the 3S community but they should work on RX7s too.
So I'm very excited to learn all about rotaries and maybe contribute to the platform!
