Cool Jim. I have my rx7 friends in a category so we can all coordinate a meetup. Monroe is a great place for ann arbor, detroit and Toledo meets.

Hopefully there will be a meet besides the Woodward cruse . . . and hopefully I can make it this year. Last year look like fun.

not in the RX fortunately. Shes waiting for motor mounts. In the CTS its fun, but its a heavy RWD car so you start drifting, you keep drifting.

I'm going to try to turn every autocross race into an RX7 meet this year. We usually get more rotaries at these races then we do at the meets anyway, so why not? lol. At one of the races last spring, we had 14 rotaries show up!

Also, is anybody thinking about going to DGRR this April? Its a hell of a good time, so I highly recommend it...

I don't think I can swing DGRR on my current budget. Maybe next year.

I will definitely be out for more Auto-X's this summer, as I have a stead(ier) income than I did last year.

Many times...

That car has been up on craigslist many times before. While I have not seen it in person, just going off the info the seller has given in other posts of it, it is in good shape as a parts car or decent starting point as a project. It sounds like as a driver, it will need thousands of dollars put into it for it to be reliable and "nice". You definitely get what you pay for.

Neal.

i went and looked at it twice, once to check out the body and the next time to hear it run. Body has some rust near the rockers and wheel wells, also has a single rust hole in the driver's side floorpan, top has two tears, engine starts up and idles smoothly, the guy said the clutch was out of it but my brother got in and backed it out. i want to get it but the guy wont budge from his $900 asking price
