Hello all, My name is Joe i'm from Boston Ma. I have always been fascinated by small engines. So I bought an integra and nothing good comes from the Honda scene so I've come to learn, after a brutal car accident and 1000s down the drain I sold what was left of the old integra. Now that brings me here engines with small displacement that have great potential. Ever since I took a ride in a bridge ported FB I was rotor struck. The basic principal of rotary engines is just fascinating. I would like to contribute to Mr. Wankels legacy and the rest of the rotary nation. We are a rare dieing species.

I am due to buy a 86 gxl tommrow wish me luck

 

Well Joe, "tomorrow" was yesterday, so how did the whole deal go down? Inquiring minds need to know.

Welcome aboard to RX-7 Club! Glad to hear you got smitten by the little spinners! ...and yet another Honda guy comes to the Dark Side.

alot of honda guys are switching over. And sorry about ur integra being totaled and having to part it out, its never a pleasant thing, I should know. Welcome to the world of rotaries!

 

Dam......Joe didint get his fc! I took him to go buy her and she was looking clean inside and out but there was a problem with the motor! The owner said he had not started it for awhile... i new we where in for a treat! she started right up! died here and there until warm and a couple of throttle pulls to clean the gunk! ......she warmed up from there we took her for a drive ..........trying to leave the drive way it would die constantly! we left the guy called us back said he fixed it...we diditnt go back and she was sold! i assume the owner did fix it =( not a good day!

 

sorry i havnt been able to get on here for the past couple days. The buy did not go as planned. The rotor did not want to live after a failed attempt at a test drive i could not buy that fc. I still am looking for my new love, i know shes out there some where. I have scheduled a test drive with another fc today hopefully this is the one.

 

will keep everyone posted

 

Just got back from a fun night in the new S5=) she's beautiful, so stock and virgin. Pulls so nice 126,xxx well mainted miles =))) so happy with my buy. Will post pictures tommrow!

(or i guess that would be today..... at some point

 

The more Power I make with rotories the more I get so adicted to get more power.

 

So heres some pics for now. My camera died on me while i was out hope fully i will get more tonight.

These pictures do not do this car justice in a matter of how clean it is! The inside and the outside, everything is together and FULLY FUNCTIONAL. The out side is completly clean except for the missing mirror on the passenger side door. There is not one spec of rust on the car it is a BEAUTIFUL S5. It came with everything the owners manual , fatory floor mats, stock radio(not installed) haynes repair manual. It is so quiet and unmolested. Will post more later

I've heard sunlight does a number on those burgundy interiors. Make sure you keep her covered to avoid sunbleaching and other fun discolouration. I should be getting an '86 GXL shortly myself if all goes as planned.

 

looks good

 

Hi Joe! Congrats on the ride! She's beautiful. I recently switched from the honda scene as well.

 

congrats!

 

nice to see more owners in the northeast

 

Thanks guys. I just don't know what to do with her she's soo stock! It's hard to come by fcs untouched like this one, I don't know if it would be right to molest it. I kind of want to keep it stock but on the other hand a mild street port and exhaust is what I had in mind. For now Im just having fun with her as she is
