Hello, I'm glad to see you all! I'm an "Old timer" with Mazda but have been away for a while. I worked as a Mazda tech in a Mazda dealer for 10yrs(1972 - 1982), became a Mazda service manager for 17yrs(1982 - 2001), went to work at a GM dealer, which is where I am now. I also autocrossed,raced IMSA-RS and Pro SCCA(RX2,GLC,GSL-SE,FC RX7 Sport) from 1979 - 1988. So why am I here now???...You ask???

Well I just aquired a 1981 RX7 GSL that has been in my family since new! As you can see, I'm very excited about it. I can tell I'm in the right place and I am certian to gain a lot of info from you all and hope I can contribute some info as well. While the car is not pristene, it is in good shape. It could use a paint job, but it is not urgent. It drives just like I remember it. In fact it is a "twin" of my own '81 RX7 GSL that I had at the time. You see, this car belonged to my wifes "twin" sister and we had the other "twin" car! So, you see, it's like I got my old car back again after I sold it 23 years ago.

So, anyway...I'm diggin' it!!!

 

I recently picked up a gsl-se and now Im fb for life. I love her more than my fc and even my dads fd and rx8. welcome back to the buzz of rotary.

 

It was a first gen rx7 that lured me back recently as well!

 

i was on a 5 yr hiatus when a drunk driver ran my 88 coupe off the road...pretty rough wreck...but now i am back with a 1990 convertible rx-7...kind of looking what to do as far as racing imsa anything or what to do as far as a turbo engine transmission and rear end...im in indianapolis indiana so im also looking for more rotaries or vert rotaries out this way...thanks?

 

welcome to the forms and welcome back to rotaries!

 

Welcome to the boards!

 

welcome

 

Thanks to all. I am now trying to get her smogged...this is Kali, and she failed twice. I'm pretty sure it's the air control valve or something.

 

that sucks
