a143gsxr >> someone drivin a 240 told me a little while ago all aspect was good, he got his ic piping done there(i didnt see the work but he told me he liked it), so if that helps then go with it, you could also check on vadriven for info about them

oh on the topic of shops im looking for someone to tune my rtek after i get it put in, i saw someone post on vadriven that auto addicts tunes rotaries? i went to their site and they had a bunch of honda stuff up there so im lookin for someone/somewhere that might be more rotary specific, the guy i bought my t2 from gave me this guys number, his name is rich wade, told me he tunes rxs, anyone heard of him or can tune my car for me willin to pay $$

I always recommend Kienan at All Aspects Motorsports in Chesapeake, 547-2888, although there are many shops in the Hampton Roads area that are just as suitable.

I'm pretty sure that he is at Summit Point (Shenandoah circuit) this weekend with TrackDaze... where I should be...
I got shafted and have to work.

Hey guys, just thought I'd stop in and introduce myself. My name is Matt and I drive a 1987 turbo II. I had a very nice gentleman stop and tell me about the Hampton Roads Rotary Club, so I thought I would stop by and check it out. My car is stock and needs a little work, but I still love it haha.

Well I finished the 4" downpipe today. Looks shweet. Wiring is mostly done except for the tach and speedometer. It's been a month since I've driven the thing, so I took it for a spin around the parking lot.
Look for it at the next meet
These are some old pictures from last week, but you get the idea...

KYB AGX's

Guy's, I just put KYB AGX's on the rear of my FC and they are outstanding. The ride is great and the car doesn't sag at all on take off. I had the tokico blues on for the past year. they didn't last long, blew a seal the other day on one and ordered the KYB's. Still have the tokico adjustables up front. Might get me some KYB's for the front now. holla

I went through several sets of Tokico Blues on the rear of my FC before buying Koni Yellows. Interestingly, I still have Tokico Blues on the front - no signs of leakage, and still damping 440# springs. They are on the list to replace this year, but just because I want Koni Yellows up front, too.

hello again i posted not too long ago asking if i could check out someone's 7 to see if how i fit in it. well i thought i wasn't going to be able to get a rx-7 but things are looking different. i found this car and i would like to know what you guys think.
https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=752861
i dont know much about this car or rx-7 in general. so far the con's are
1. It's a automatic (not too bad, i can live with that even maybe convert it down the road)
2. the color (isn't really my taste but i can live with it)
3. the location (i live in york county, VA so FL is some distance for a car)
4. the interior (but for the price he is asking i would have enough left over to fix that up)
i want to start this car as a fun weekend or joyride car but i plan on turning it into a project track car down the road right now i'm looking for a rx-7 that's slightly modified, exterior not to bad but no preference there cuz i have my own plans inmind and interior doesn't matter if the asking isn't to high cuz i can just change that. i'm just looking for nicely done motor with nice power for a good price looking to stay under 15,000 but under 10,000 is even better i know i should put this in the wanted section but being that you guys are local i want to ask here first thanks in advance to anyone that can help

im not diggin that automatic and the tranny conversion might be a lil expensive, i dont like how ricey it looks, might give off the wrong image about you, but you can just tear all that off. if your gonna use it as a track car then you need to start learning about rx's so you can mod/tune properly etc, the guy says the motor only has 14,000 AND he has all the receipts then thats not that bad for 7,500, of course make sure it starts and has good compression and the turbos arent destroyed(i believe theres two even in the automatic?) etc, thats just my input though...ask the pros about it

To find autocrosses in the tidewater area, go to:

www.autocross.us

They cover all clubs in that area, including some up near Richmond if you want to drive a ways to get there.
