So i see a few people, after browsing for a bit, that are also from ABQ. Anyone happen to see me driving around? Hard to miss, been at least 2 different colors for the time I've owned it. Fairly loud, too. Passed a mint FD a while back, waved at him. Going up Indian school, right in front of Jackson Middle School. He waved back :3 Anyways, I've been seeing crap loads of FC's, more and more. Even saw one just today, turned in front of me. Eubank and Lomas. Didn't catch him in time though (I tend to wave or flash the lights at other owners, always fun when they do it back). But yeah, anyways, just thought it would be nice to know if anyone would recognize me, Maybe I'll recognize you, too? I've seen a few first gens as well, not just seconds. Lemme know.

Twas Red. Seen it parked at the fairgrounds a few times, and then like i said drove past me in front of that middle school.
Hope i wasn't driving like too much of an idiot when you saw me :/ If anyone recognizes me out there, let me know. Honk, flash your lights, wave. All in good fun, I'll be sure to do it back

You wouldn't have happened to be driving up...What was it, Moon? One night? I drove right past what i thought was an RX-7, looked back in my mirror and sure enough. Thinking back it looked just like that.
And i see beater hondas every day...Hm, was it this Saturday? I drove up Eubank and turned onto Lomas, this Saturday, went to that McDonalds up by Juan Tabo for some foods. In fact i think i saw a Honda drive past me...Awesome, Nice to know I'm not all alone out here
Doesn't seem like this section gets as much attention as the others.
So why are you selling it? I love seeing other rexes out on the road, makes me feel all warm inside.

I drive on moon everyday too especially since I live on moon. I'll be out in full force with the FD soon. My painter is ready for her, I just need to get my new engine and tranny in and get her over there. I'll start on that this weekend if anyone wants to come check it out. I'm really excited for this new setup. Engine is from an 02 Japanese FD. Couldn't have had more than 10-15k miles on it when I cracked it open. Its now got a very aggresive Racing Beat street port (done myself ) on intake and exhaust ports, RX7Specialties REC apex seals, and everything is balanced, clearanced, etc. If anyone is interested in full build detail I'll PM it to you. The turbo is an A-Spec GT500-R/SP kit. I'm super excited to finish this thing up, I need to get my *** in gear and get it done!!!

Oh, and as I've mentioned in the past on this forum, I am available to any of you guys for help with your Rota's. I have owned several of each generation. I've built dozens of engines, 12As and 13Bs. I've done everything from stock builds to full on race setups. I can port, I have Racing Beat and some older Judge Ito templates, including bridge and p-port templates. The last bridgy I built I sold here on the forum. It was a 13B-RE (Cosmo). It made (makes) well over 600hp. I think his corrected numbers were somewhere around 642 at the flywheel. It was my first Cosmo RE build, but I've done a handful since. I am really good with both carbs and FI systems. I can tune Haltechs, Microtechs, etc... Please feel free to contact me if you need local help. A lot of the local rota guys that have been around a while here in NM can vouch for me, I've probably built some of their engines or have left blood in their engine bay hahaha. Send me PM if you want my number or want to talk.

We drove in the morning. That's probably going to be my last event in STR since I'm selling my 17" wheels. We'll be having a Pro Solo in July. Big news for our region. We're also having both novice and advanced schools next season as well as a two-day event at Sandia.

I'll probably buy a set of coilovers during the offseason and race STR another year.
