Yup. Some of us are definitely here. I think most of us are just hibernating for the Winter...

 

Hey guys name is Jeremy I moved to parachute about 7 months. ago. From new orleans and just bought Corey's FD I also have an 84 gs that will be my daily. Would like to know when the next meet is so I can meet some of yall

 

Hey guys! I am planning a killer spring meet! It's about time we get everyone back together! The Spring Meet is always our biggest turnout of the year since everyone is tired of winter!

 

Hay Mike,
have not talked to you in awhile, I moved to Salt Lake City and trying to find out if anyone meets around here but I guess they just keep to them selfs here. Guess I might have to drive back to Denver to have fun again.

What's the latest on gettin Steve Kan out here again?

 

Mike, What dates are you thinking?

 

June/July would be the best for me. Anything earlier than that and I'm not sure if I can get my build done in time. My 7 has been down for 2 years and I'd really hate to have to wait another year to get it tuned by Steve.

 

any word on when steve may be coming out? I want to try and push a little more horsepower out the twins.

 

I'm out of hibernation... Working on the 79's body damage and the FC build... Just picked up some fiberglass fenders and soon a big ol' turbo...

 

Welcome back, John!

 

Is everyone here on the Yahoo group? Go to www.groups.yahoo.com and search for Mile High Rotary Club. We have about 120 rotary owners from Colorado on there but I'm sure there are a few that have not signed up yet.

 

Hi all,
I'm moving back to Denver after several years in Seattle. Are Rotary Specialists and/or Mazda-Honda shop still around? I'm going to need a go-to place for fixing my increasingly ancient rotary cars. I'll join the mile high rotary yahoo group, too.

Anybody got a 5-speed RX-4 transmission?

 

The Mazda-Honda shop has been gone for years. Louie sold it and moved to AZ. He, Tony and Jim Berg are now in Houston racing and working on Porsches.

I'm not sure if Rotary Specialists is still in business. I was never a fan of that place.

 

Well, where to go, then? I always got along fine with Rotary Specialists, they did good work on my T2, I was happy.

Have another question about emissions tests for pre-1982 vehicles. Do they have to pass a visual inspection? I'm pretty sure both of my cars would easily pass the idle-speed test, but the visual inspection might be problematic. Old cars are totally exempt from emissions in Washington, so never had to deal with it here.

If visual inspection is an issue, does anyone know any test place which might be, ah, relatively understanding about the situation. On the visual component only.

 

I'm not in Denver any more, I moved to a different county 10 years ago. But when I was there, my '82 had to pass the dyno emissions test that all the modern cars have to pass. I think the years were '81 and up at the time. There is a visual inspection, but I think they're mostly just looking for a catalytic converter, they didn't really care about headers or the muffler.

My advice would be to look at the aircarecolorado web page:

Hey guys,

It's been a long time. Still got the FC, but it's had a half-blown engine for the last few years that I couldn't afford to fix while I was in college. Got a couple questions for you gentlemen.

Does anyone know of a good place/person who can rebuilt my FC's engine? I only went to Jim Berg for as long as I've owned it, but now that he's in Texas I have to look elsewhere.

I don't think there's any major damage, pretty sure it just needs a new gasket kit, and maybe a re-streetport on one of the irons. After talking to Jim over the phone and diagnosing the symptoms, we think that the porting work was off and one of my side seals is damaged as a result (I have about 50% compression on my front rotor, blow-by, etc).

I'm pretty wary about people working on my car, so unless you know of someone with a great reputation who does high quality work, I'm not interested. I have money now, so I can afford quality work if there's someone around who can do it.

Also, does anyone know of someone who is experienced with installing and tuning Haltechs for RX-7s in the area? I have a PS1k in my car, but I've been having trouble with the ignition and am sort of stumped.

Thanks for the help as always guys. I'm looking forward to fixing it so I can start coming to meets again. And I finally have money again so I can resume modding her.

Hey guys I'm new to rotaries and I just bought an 88 rx7 gxl with no motor. It came with the tranny, shaft, and it's a roller chassis. I need help finding a motor for cheap. Appreciate the help guys. I'm in Denver btw.

 

If you just want an engine and plan on doing a lot of work to make something cool and different you can find 13Bs on the www.norotors.com forum. However they will try to turn you to the darkside and convince you that a min of 44 moving parts is better than the three in a 13B/12A.

You;ll have a heck of a time finding one in Colorado. You could import one from Japan but you aren't realy gaining anything unless it's a !3-RE or a 20B out of a JDM Cosmo.

 

Sweet thanks.

 

Sorry for the late response but I *might* have a motor available, shoot me a PM if you like.

 

so i'm guessing the meets are coming to an end. damn and i just finished my car. its already getting cold.

 

The meets came to an end about 4 years ago from what I've seen.

 

We do seem to be a little short on rotary gatherings here. It doesn't help that at least half of the proposed meets succumb to flakiness...

 

Flakiness.... that is an issue. But, there's been a couple of two-member meetings, since I've been out here. I hang out with Christi, all the time.

 

Are there any active guys here in CO? Or did we just completely die off? I jjust got back into the rotary scene again, and just move to Colo springs, would love to meet the CO crew...

And yeah... our two meetings [TheRonin] and myself happen ever so often =P
