Hey, making a first post to introduce myself to the forum. Name's Phil, live in Fort Worth and am looking to get into another RX7. I had a '79 back around 1990 (rescued it from certain death as it was quite a POS, three-tone paint, bent axle and all) and sold it for a chunk more than I paid. It was a good deal at the time, but I've always thought about what it would have been if I had kept it. As they say about hindsight...

Onward to the minimum number of posts!

Welcome!

 

Whats up Phil. Give me heads up on your RX-7 search.

 

Hey, I am in Temple, just a few hours south of you. Keep an eye on the Dallas craigslist. I see them there all the time. That said, good luck with the minimum nuber of post. I am in the same boat!

 

welcome to the club!

 

I'm living in lake worth about 10 mins from downtown FW... i was at the bowlin alley headed home last night in my 8 and saw a gorgeous silver fd tearing *** away. i wanted to smash my head into my steering wheel... NA blows... Im ready for my fd build

 

I was just over in LW this morning playing paintball at Fun on the Run. When you get your FC project started PM me if you need someone to help out!

Hey phil if your still around the forums i just bought a 1st gen and i am currently trying to find my swap and assorted parts. If anyone has some good low budget advice it would be much
appreciated

 

D/FW RX7 meet, 1st saturday of every month at the intersection of Macarthur and 635 in Irving around 0800 pm. Come on out and meet the fellow rotorheads.

 

guests welcome from wichita falls? we have 3 running rx-7's :P 3 others are down for maintenance unfortunately :P

 

Of course, all are welcome. Come on down.

 

If i ever find a motor and trans ill make a stop by there :P for now i look at the bare gutted shell.

 

so bring the 8

 

the 8 is gone ;( unemployment doesnt cut it for that payment and insurance. i got some wicked fast sandals tho

 

damn sorry bout your luck man :/ what's your job experience? the guys i work with at carswell are a pretty tight knit group and i can see if they've heard of any openings on or off base

 

pretty much anything and everything. i was a tong operator for a casing crew in the oilfield. i might be relocating to ark for a job opportunity in that field again. which means motor for the 85 and deciding which to buy next. i really miss the 8 but i may try for my fd.... but that all depends on the job thing. by the way have any of your heard of jdm motor corps run out of richardson tx? they have some decent deals on motors but i found them through ebay so im skeptical as always. Just curious

 

is richardson just north of dfw? if so i got my 97 jdm trans from them and the trans shop popped it open (i was going to have it rebuilt just in case) but they said it looked brand new on the inside

 

o thats awesome. im going to contact them today and see if i can swing a pickup and cash deal with them. and maybe dynosaur performance in saginaw. i really want to get this SOB out of the garage and on the highway. but i have alot to do with the lighting and auto to manual conversion on her. i lost the usb connection on my phone and have no camera or i would post some pics.

 

awesome man! i'm going to be back sooner than i thought so weather permitting i'll see you all soon at the shows

 

right on. im less than $400 short of having my setup. currently scheming ways to acquire it. Thought of selling lefty... but that takes too long.

 

Figured it out!!! im hunting down a digital camera right now to sell my interior! :P

 

Hey man whats up im in arlington

 

allthingswankel, you live near the spaghetti of roads? a friend of mine lives there and i spent a good half hour trying to figure out how to get there haha

 

A town is like 25 mins from my house in weatherford :P its supposed to be a nice day today. gonna try and finish beating the sound deadening out of the floor board and cubby hole areas. still havent got that digi camera. Do the random notices at the bottom of the forum pages freak anyone else out lately? mine keeps popping up freestdtest.com airport transfers and crazy stuff instead of the usual car related stuff... i think i might hook up my come along to the car and our old craftsman lawn mower and pull the chasis around the yard too :P

 

welcome
