Visited up there for Christmas and it was pretty nice. Hella cold but nice. Nice scenery and all. Didn't see any rotarys though. I thought about moving up there. Hows the Rotary community up there?

 

i have a lot of family that lives out there.. my cousin has a FC and has a few friends with some FDs...

 

There are absolutely zero rotary powered cars in Colorado springs, and only 4 FD's in denver.

 

hmm.. FCs and FDs arent rotarypowered??

 

Possible V8 conversions? But I really thought it was nice, the moutains and all. How many months out of the year does it snow?

 

Come on Jarod! Here is a list of Colorado Rotary owners.....there are quite a few in Colorado Springs.

If you don't see yourself on the list....add yourself and I will update the list.

 

I know of about 120 RX-7's, and there are a ton of RX-8's. Colorado has one of the largest known Rotary communities in the country. Nothing like CA, TX, and FL but still pretty big.

 

A few of us in the springs, but no one really hangs out. My cars surrounded by about 2 feet of snow so I can hardly see it in my driveway. Im sure if you were here in the summer you would have run into some rotories. 3 of us fd's get together at the Grocery Warehouse car show when the weather is nice. I've talked with atleast 3 more fd's and a few fcs but never saw them again.

 

wow jarod... you're behind on times... I personally have 1 fc and 1 fd and I sold another fc a few months ago... one of my friends has 3 fb's and 2 fc's all in denver

 

springs transplant from tx... have an 84 SPEC-7, freind has a first gen and a second gen. doesn't snow that much, badass city, good racing support in the denver area, plenty of spec-7 guys up there

 

I just bought my 88 vert in COS and it is already stuck in the garage. Soon as it melts though it is out!!! Bet it won't get shut off until it snows again

 

i just bought a 90 convertible and hope to get a nice day to go cruisin down here, but i have seen plenty of rx7s around here lol

 

actually im visiting this place in june when i help a friend move. Also thing about moving there. so i hope for a good impression generally. As long as i can get a job and have some place to go rally-crossing. ill be happy.

 

Im about 20min from Springs down in Pueblo and I got a 93

 

Been living in the springs for 18 months,just bought a 1985 gsl first gen,i have 2 years experience on working on first and second gen rx7's,not too good with trouble shooting some things,but most mechanical stuffs a breeze,my gsl wont stay running unless i keep pumping the gas to make it idle,if i take my foot off the gas it dies,seems to run good pedal to the floor,i'm thinking it has dirty jets from sitting,Anyone heard of fred(rx7heaven)?i used to work for him in canada,great guy very knowledgeable.

 

Once it dies, is it harder to start? Check all vacume lines, but sounds like you better do a compression test!

 

flushed the engine and replaced a rubber hose,checked compression pulses,they are at just under 90 psi on both rotors!
hey it idles now!
