Hello all,
This is my first post here. I have been wanting an RX-7 for years and finally found one. I am thinking about buying a fixer-upper that needs a lot of work. I am wondering if there are any people from around the Des Moines or Mason City area.

I live in Des Moines, but I will have my RX-7 stored and work on it at my parent's house between Mason City and Algona. Just in case I screw something up and need some help, I want to know if there is anyone I can call.

Also, are there any RX-7 clubs in the area?

Thanks.

 

I'm from Center Point (15 miles north of Cedar Rapids) I have a friend who has a 86 N/A Rx-7 for sale if you'd be interested. I think he wants $1,200-$1,500 for it. Car runs, just needs a coolant line replaced (cheap)

 

Saturday, I am planning on picking up a '79 RX-7 for $200. The carb needs to be gone through and it should run fine. It runs now, you just have to dump gas into the carb. Thanks for the info though.

 

If you happen to need parts let me know, as I have a bunch of misc things for FB's. since I parted 2 of them.

 

hey... whats up bud.. i live in Ankeny.. i hope to have my 87 up and running here very shortly.

my 87FC3S TurboII is my second Rx-7. my first one was an 85FB

good luck and let me know if you need somthing

 

there are a few ppl around familiar with rx7's.

next year we will have more than one meet. I was gone to VA for the summer so i couldn't go to any.

I a familiar with the FC/FD

This year should have some bad *** cars and i hope my FD will be running

 

Yeah, i have an '88 10AE with a couple things done. Sesshoumaru is your man though if you're needing some help, hes probably the most knowlegeable rotorhead anywhere in probably a 500+ mile radius.

 

Jason I hope to see your car running to.

Hell, maybe my car will run to. I mean the FD not the FB. That car took a ****. Think if you get some time you could take a look at it. It keeps choking itself out.

 

Ya i can take a look sometime when i head back.

Dunno when i'll be in des moines tho.

- I'll get her running it's just when. I have the money now just need time and a place to work (damn Iowa winter).

 

http://www.northstarrotaries.com/ is our club that is mostly minnesota but we have some Iowa members as well. FYI if you want to post there and see who's around your area.

 

i got plenty of garage space once my brothers car is done

sounds like your going to be very busy when you get back J

 

lol well i'll have to find a job once i'm done outu in VA

but should have some down time to finish stuff up.

 

I look forward to hearing from you when you get back to the DMI

 

how's the fd coming along?

 

Slow really really slow. The FB was getting unrealiable so I went out and bought a 02 ram so that when I get the car(s) running I will have something to take them to the track and to meets with. Right now it is my main transportation. Im getting just the main parts I need right now just so I can get the engine back in the car. If I get both of them running for RR I plan on taking them both.

 

hhaaha good luck on gett'n those main parts...... that's usually the killer

i want my FD running by RR too

 

I need all the luck I can get rite now.

 

Do many of us in the des moines area go to RR? I'd like to go but would prefer to go with some of the local guys. When is it exactly?

 

there should be a section in here for it.

Last year only 4 ppl went.

Rob, rob's friend, my friend, and myself.

It was a blast..... Got to see the 4 rotor go around the track and the meaniest 12A i've ever seen/heard.

Def going this year too.

Hopefully i can bring the FD down again .

 

id like to go hopefully ill have my fc done and running if not i probly wont go

 

I wouldn't mind going. Depending on when it is and what other plans I have at the time. I highly doubt I'll be taking my FC there. Unless I come into some moolah and get it all tricked out yo.

 

Dont' forget to shift mad quick.

 

I know that Im going to RR when it comes around again. I may not have the FD running but I will go. If I dont bring my FD I can trailer someones car there is they want. A little $$ will be involved. I sure hope that RR got moved to June. It was cold as hell last year.

 

Not sure, but it might be getting moved to June. Tell Moe that I say whats up.

 

Back in Iowa now.

Cold as **** and can't work on anything. - not fun

I need a shop so I can get my FD done.

Might start to work on a joint venture track FC shortly *grin*
