I checked out the thread Rich. Keep up the great work.

My daughter just stopped in; she's lived across from EMU. And she's been seeing Renyu's FB around town too! She's a big FB fan....

 

sweet. my wife thought our daughter looked good in a first gen.

 

I forgot to post up last week but I saw a red touring FD on I-96 just East of GR on Sunday. I was rocking my minivan.

 

Yup that's me Never heard you shout out before, but definitely feel free to come by anytime to check out the FB. I assume you're the owner of the red convertible FC? I think I've seen you working on that and the Saab a while ago when I still owned a Miata.

And thanks pjr for the Cruzin recommendation, I love that it's local. I'll send mine their way once I get the chance to remove them.

 

Damn, I'll get there sooner or later....

 

Yea, the Saab's my DD & the red 'vert's the project/weekend/auto-x car. I'll introduce myself if I see you around; unfortunately its getting a bit chilly to relax under the car working on something all weekend anymore.

 

I have not seen that one at all

 

anyone have any leads on any first gen project cars for sale?

 

Just picked up a 88 rx7 10ae today, and im around the Flint area in MI

 

Is that the car that has been on xceedspeed and craigslist for the last few months?

 

yup! Jus sold it 👍

 

Grats!! I'm just kinda ghosting around... My 7 will be kinda on the back burner for a bit... Just got a new house so.... yeah...

 

Yeah man I just got a house in July and the wife wouldn't allow me to get a project car until after, but I couldn't be happier with this car so far from Flipside27, thanks again man!

 

Hahahah well I did the opposite... I was in process of closing on a house and I couldn't pass this FD up. And so here I am lol....

 

A FD really? nice man im a little jealous now...

 

Lol I had an interesting story for that tbh... I put my TII back on insurance on Monday, a friend of a friend looked at it Tuesday, he drove off with it Wednesday. I looked at the FD Thursday and I drove it home on Friday.... Tis what I originally wanted, I kinda settled with the TII and I didn't put much effort into it tbh. But with this FD I'm making effort, sorta.... Stupid House....

 

Moved up from Florida last january, had forgotten to post here! I believe I met ramos and arghx out on woodward last summer, good times talking to both.

For others, heres a pic that is fairly representative of my car currently...


Its aim is to be a reliable weekend car for cruising and AX/HPDE

There is a laundry list of things to do now... top of the list includes a coolant pressure test to try and flush out an issue (miniscule leak around turbos, already have hoses that i've preemptively ordered to replace), diff brace, wheel bearings, fluids check/replace, catback, 99spec y-pipe... list never seems to stop with these cars...

Problem is finding room to work on it, the glorified carport the complex calls a "garage" that it has lived in since nov has a terrible floor and floods often, so working there gives me the sads... looking into renting/buying a house 99% because i want a decent garage lol, hopefully one of my friends with the requisite workspace will be able to accomodate me before the seasons for AX and HPDE begin in earnest.

Looking forward to seeing all of you on the roads! (maybe even DGRR?)

 

Why did you leave to come here?!!??!?!?!?! Well welcome, hopefully I'll be more active towards events and such and I'll meet some people!!

 

Haha... Got a job offer I couldn't refuse... MI has some advantages though, woodward is like no other road ive ever found in FL; an actual cruising road. Also I've heard the roads up north are a ton of fun in the summer (99% of everything in FL is straight and flat), so looking forward to that!

 

Ahhh understandable, I've been to FL a few times. I like the weather and the water more than better than here that's for sure hahaha... Are you around the GLC area? I travel around that area frequently (damn wife)....

 

Hey just a good FYI, I host a parking lot on WoodWard in Pontiac every year for Michigan Rotary Club - Index So make sure you guys stop by for a while. Love having the 7s since i will have my convertabile there and maybe even my mythical red 87 GXL there too. Currently started the rebuild of the engine.

You can check out the progress on the Michigan rotary club forum. Nice to see some new people in the area.

 

If by GLC you mean great lakes crossing, then yes... I live across the street Not a bad mall for walking around and I've entertained the thought of practicing AX in the ever-empty parking lot behind the movie theater (were it not for security)

 

Sweet!! Yeah it's not bad, not the greatest but w/e. LOL A few years ago they did but that was before I had a driver's license

 

Gregory few: has anybody ever heard of him? he wrote a letter which was published in the "Hemmings sports i& exotic car" magazine May issue...he's having trouble with a gas tank on a first gen.

 

I saw the letter in HS&EC myself as well. Pretty sure it was likely written some time back, as I think Greg posted the problem up on one of the Facebook RX-7 groups. I was one of the many that replied to it, but I honestly have no desire to go digging through old FBook posts to determine if it was in fact him. Sorry.

Neal.
