Nice weekend for a drive. Can't wait to get out with other enthusiasts soon.[/QUOTE]

Let me know. Mine is ready! Just swapped transmission and replaced, clutch, pilot bearing, cmc, slave and rebuild the shifter. It feels like new 😍

Anyone going to Cars and Coffee in Dulles Landing tomorrow, Sunday, 7 June 2020. I plan to go and finally get Roxanne back out. Just had her tuned at RPM yesterday pulling 420 rwhp at 15 psi on pump gas and 317 ft/lbs of torque.

On the Dyno

A little glow

420 RWHP (reads 383 but it is 10% off due to an old roller setup), 317 ft/lbs of torque at 15 psi on pump gas

Did you go and if so, how was it? It would have been a nice morning for it today - if only I had motivated myself much sooner.

I did...I was the only FD there. It was packed. Folks want to get out and go to the car meets again. I didn't go this past weekend but if the weather is nice and I start to see other RX-7s I will go more often

Anyone out there?

Hope everyone is doing well and being safe out there! I think it's about time for us to get back out on the streets. Well, at the least, it's time to revive this thread. Anyone out there?

I fired up the FD and took it for a spin on this beautiful bluebird day today. It had been awhile - almost forgot how sharp it looks and how sweet it sounds.

Anyone else ready to hit the streets soon? Spring Drive?

I'm waiting for the injectors. The tracking info have them in Texas since the 23rd of Feb 🤦🏽‍♂️. I also have to install the new engine harness and computer. The FD should be good after that.

Timing will be right for me. All my projects too longer than expected and I’m planning on sending mine back for more bodywork at the end of this month or early April. Roof swap incoming!

Purchased my FD Feb. of 2020, it's been under construction since. I am hoping to have it on the road in the next 2 months. I'd like to get out and meet other local FD owners and the gents on this forum.

I'd love to have a drive/meetup to look forward to. Mine looks so sad under its cover and attached to the trickle charger ... like it's on life support.

Count me in!

My FD is currently in southern California waiting to finish up a restomod build. Hopefully they'll get back to work on it in a month or two. From there I hope to have it done in a month or two. I'd be tickled to have it back on the road in May or June.

I won't make a spring cruise, but I'll definitely be out and about in the summer and fall!!

C&C Dulles on Sunday?

Looks like the weather should be good. Anyone (else) wanna go?

Would be early and low key (at least for me), but would be nice to line up a bunch of 7s.

Tell me more. I was thinking of doing a sunroof delete when I get the rear quarter replaced.

I was able to secure a slick top skin to go with the roof brace and headliner I had in storage. As soon as the car is rolling again and aligned I'm taking it back down to Richmond to have the swap done and the rest of the front end blocked and primed. The guys quoted me $1k for the roof swap since i'm adding it onto some other work but that doesn't include glass or a color coat of paint.

New FC owner

Hey guys. Had an RX7 FC in high school and sold it when I joined the Marines. It’s been 20yrs but I finally got another and I love it! I’m down in Fredericksburg area and was wondering if you guys can point me to the right shops in our areas. I tried hitting up angel motor sports but they don’t even return emails or calls and from what I’ve been told on the forum it’s a good thing cause the reviews aren’t great. My FC has an E6K and I’d like to get it retuned. Can’t afford an elite 1500 just yet.

So damn sexy!!

Unfortunately nobody in this area (other than Angel Motorsports, which I have never dealt with). I believe closest will be in the NJ area, remote tuning is always an option, with that said, you might have issues finding a tuner that wants to deal with an E6k
