MO New to this part of the states

I just moved to Kansas city Missouri literally last night and would like ot know what the rotary scene is like up here. Just got in from garland Texas but my car won't be here for another two weeks. I drive an white 87 gtu which will be getting some paint and body done to it, and hopefully some interior. Just looking to meet some rotor heads while up here. The names Jordan.

There are plenty of us around, just haven't gotten together in quite a while. Used to meet up monthly over in Shawnee Mission Park. If you're interested in autocross, check out kcrscca.org. If drift, track days, or wheel-to-wheel racing are your thing, an hour west on I-70 is Heartland Park in Topeka (hpt.com). Maybe one of us will post up a meet thread again sometime soon... Used to see these guys a lot, not for a good while now. And some of them have parts/tools/owe me money, ha. But anyways, what part of town are you in? Welcome to KC!

I live in Blue Springs, MO.. about 30 mins from ya. I'd totally dig getting everyone together. I'm pretty new to the rotary scene (just picked up my FD in May), but have admired them from afar for a while.

Wow I never knew there were this many 7 owners around me. Too bad mine isn't running yet otherwise I would say we should meet up.

Sprry it's taken me so long to get back to this everyone. I had no idea there was any sorts of rotary scene in this part of the states. And as far as pictures go I'm apparently forum challenged and can't figure out how to put an pics up -__-

Well I just got back into town guys and finally got the car up here. It's a piece, but will eventually look good. She almost didn't make the trip -_-. Anyone up for meeting up? I still don't really know my way around here though.

I tried to see who I could round up but my butt was cut, instead. If someone else wants to arrange a little meet-up at a park or restaurant or something-or-other, I'd show up.

So there's been talk of a meet on another thread for all the Kansas City area 7's. Is anyone actually serious about this? Or are we just blowing smoke?

1991 na fc3s

Hey guys,

I'm in Topeka, KS and have a 1991 NA FC with a LOT of aftermarket parts if anyone's interested. The engine is in need of a rebuild (bad Apex seal/doesn't really run), but there's a lot of useful parts on the car. Here are a few of the mods:

Full Exhaust (Apexi N1 Dual, Pacesetter Header, Straight Pipe)
Full Suspension (Can't remember brand off the top of my head)
Bonez Cross-Drilled Brake Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake Lines
K&N intake
Lightweight Flywheel
Underdrive Main Pulley
Silicone Vacuum Lines
Auto to Manual Transmission Conversion (TII Tranny)
TII rear end with 4:30 gears
Etc.

Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks,
Derek

Just picked up an s5 91 n/a. Now my s4 is just sitting outside getting no attention lol. I'm still up for a car meet if we can get everyone together. Hopefully sometime before I leave for school in the next few weeks...
