There's a couple of us in Ruchmond. I've got 2 1st gens, an 83 Turbo and an 85. My friend has an 88 Rx7 Anniversary Ed w/an FD swap. A few other FC's and 8's but nothing major.
There are plenty on here from KY, but for some reason most won't post up.

I'm still floating around. However, the numbers in Louisville have dwindled. Mike, are you doing DGRR this year?

I'm up north, right across the river from Cincinnati. I have an '81 RX-7 among others. I don't usually spend a lot time on here because I'm busy with my other Mazdas. That should be changing soon as I now have an incentive to get busy with her restoration.

I don't go too far afield because my work keeps me away from home about half the year, so the wife likes me staying around. There's quite a few RX-8 and Miata owners around me and they get together occasionally.

Hey guys I'm from madisonville Kentucky. Just bought a 1993 rx7 and driving the hell out of it lol. Used to Hondas so this is new for me but I love it and can't wait to start really getting extreme with the engine as well as everything else. Problem is there are no shops in the area that will touch the car much less be able to build and dyno tune a car. Does anyone know of any shops around Kentucky??

if you could think of a mutual location and more people show interest this is something that would be pretty cool

It's a track car and doesn't see to much street time with the side exit exhaust that's currently on it. Maybe a new exhaust for the spring or summer time so I can take her out on the town......

Always possible I might have my FD back on the road by next spring or summer. Not likely, but possible.
