Roland, a Canadian SA Rx7 owner

Hi I'm Roland. I'm up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I started a rebuild of an old SA Rx7 in April '16, and I just drove it for the first time yesterday with a rebuilt 12a and new exhaust/carb/suspension. I'm pretty much in love now.
Future plans once I save some cash are bodywork on the SA, and to find a series 5 FC to bridgeport and take drifting!
Thought it was about time I made an account on here since I referenced it a lot rebuilding my 12a. I'd also like to post some pictures of my rebuild!

Hmm..
Make others LOVE it too.

What you do is take it to the West ED mall and toss it in the Roller coaster track( Last time I was there,I looked..it "may fit"!!..) and offer rides!

Haha I'll look into it! Sounds like I might need a roll cage and some upgraded seat belts first though.

..another idea would be to just walk a little further down the mall ... do some LSD and sing "We all live in a Yellow submarine"..or Strawberry Fields....LOOK I found YOKO..!

*this is about all I remember about the attractions while I was there..I drank a lot at the "fancy bar" upstairs..!(very nice waitresses..lol!..Boing!)

Welcome! I'm also a new Canadian to the forum. I'm not exactly nearby, but it's nice to see other canadian FB's that aren't complete piles of rust. Haha

Cool, it looks good, i tried to find one online but discovered that a lot of companies wouldn't ship replica plates out of country (i guess there are some dodgy people out there!). I will have another search as these are great for shows/photos
