Any Minnesotan Rx-7's around?

Hi All,

I'm likely moving back to my old stomping grounds in Duluth, MN within the next few months. At the time (8 years ago), I was one of only 3 people within 100 miles with a rotary powered vehicle. Are there any running Rx-7's in ol' Minnesota still?

Picture of my peripheral port FC for attention:

I'm in Bemidji, but I know it's pretty light in these parts short of the drift kits ().

Not many of us.

Hey,
I live in Coon Rapids and own a 1988 10th anniversary. I’ve had her for about 6 years. I get out on the weekends from time to time and NEVER see any Rx7’s.

A few more pictures

Here’s some more detail pictures. Cool to see some Rx7 owners in Minnesota! Keep them away from the salt!

“Dealer” installed fog lights. A rare option




Complete factory appearance

But this puppy’s hiding below

Cone filter

Hallowed out factory air box to allow for filter

BNR makes nice turbos that are factory replacements

Nice!

Super clean interior

Hey, I am up in Zimmerman. Just got my 10 AE up here from AZ. I am doing a little work as it has been in storage for at least 10 years. I hope to have it out on the road in the next week or two.

Hey!

Hey!
great to see another 10AE owner in the area. That is a super clean car I am jealous! 50k miles is incredibly low. I thought I was fortunate when I found my 10ae with only 90k miles. I’d like to see some more pictures when things get cleaned up a little. I unfortunately lost compression on a few phases of my rear rotor so my car is currently in the garage awaiting a motor rebuild. Have to find someone or somewhere to rent a engine hoist.
anyway I hope to have mine up and running by next year and would love to meet up sometime

I hope to get a drive or two in before winter and I will spend the winter detailing the interior and engine bay. Definitely want to meet up and get pics with other 10ae cars.
