NH Rotorheads...
 

just wondering how many rotorheads in the NH area.
I'm in the Lebanon/Hanover area right now.
just picked up an 88 gtu for my winter car and have a red 87 tII with microtech/hybrid htrim/fmic/3" exhuast built and tuned by myself.
currently the tII is blown though and will undergo surgery before next season at epping.

so how many rotor fiends in the ol hampshire?

Have you driven an rx7 in the winter before? If so. You know what your up against. if not. THEY SUCK!

Anyways I live in Greenfield NH. Got a 88 SE with an SAFC. Built my own single 2.5" exhaust system with a cutout option. Some other things to be nothing to impressive.

Working on modifing the OMP to inject 2 stroke oil. Just waiting for my parts to come back from my buddy in Connecticut who I had tig some things that I couldn't do with my MIG.

Your probubly about 1.5 hours away from me.

Haha, yes I have definitely driven an na rex in the snow. two of my buddies in high school had 2nd gens and this is where I grew up. Plus I drive like a grandma unless the lights drop at the track. Im hoping with some snow tires and foot control I should be fine.

no other new hampshirites?

i don't count, but what the hell.

I drove my rx7 in winter once. Sucked ass. I then, last year, before winter, paid about 350 to get winter tires and an alignment. In November, My engine blew. Before the snow came. I was pissed because I was just getting my car ready for winter.

I guess the soul just didnt want me to drive it in the winter again. After throwing a rebuild in, lets see what it will do now :)

Im in Derry. Its a little ways away from hanover. Ive got a 90 gxl with a newly rebuilt streetported motor and in the process of being turbocharged. I also got a base 86 with a cage. The two are being made into one which will hopefully be pretty nice

Christian we met down at an autocross earlyer on in the summer. I was the kid with the broke ass caged car that is 5 different colors haha.


We should have a get together at epping sometime next year.

^^ yeah i remember you. that car war awsome! a real autox queen. ;)
definitly do the epping thing though, good idea.

Your Rx off the road now or did you keep it on the road longer then you wanted?

Where are the Autox events? I would love to go but I have no idea where they are.

this sleepy dave guy is dangerous
he knows too much about rotary's
he secretly steps into the night and tunes them

hey bro just saw this thread lmk when your down here

It still has plates on it and stuff. Im doing alittle bit of cleaning in my garage before i start pulling stuff apart. They have autox events down at Fort Devens in Mass. It took me maybe an hour to get there from my house. I think they also have them in the parkinglot of nhis.

How do i get him to tune my car in the middle of the night?

contact me and we will go from there.

thanks for the kind words rob

Rotorhead here in Concord. Got an 1988 TII, Been slowly buildin' it up in the last 5 years, hopin' to get some NH'ers to head down to Rotorfest 2007 with me, been the last 3 years and driven down myself......

^^you were there last year? i must have missed you. me and 3 other mass guys went down.

Christian

i wasnt very organized in the past, but if the 2007 fest happens, im hoping to at least get someone else to drive down with me, or pick up a MA caravan, cause the way the weathers been out here, no excuse why i cant get a few more things done before spring, cant wait for this season to freakin' begin!

Another rotorhead here in Charlestown. I have an 87 T2 and an 86 base. I am currently trying to get rid of the 86 cause my roommate is getting another car and we need the room. I am going to be stripping parts I need for the T2. If anyone here wants this car, let me know, otherwise she goes to the crusher. I would much rather see this car get put to some use rather than get crushed, so if you want it, and can pick it up, it is yours for nothing. If you want more info about the car I have a part out thread going in this forum. PM me for any additional info needed.

Charlestown. yeah i new some guys a few years ago over in Newport that had a couple of FCs, I used to be in Keene alot and there were alot around like 4 years ago, but I seem to be the only one of em thats still goin, id take your 86 in a heartbeat, but just moved into an apartment, got no room, my friends partin out an 87 gxl... not much left of it, so theres plenty of parts floating around.....

If you were floating around Keene four years ago you have probably seen my car. Black 87 T2. There was a group of like 6 RX-7s in Keene then and this was one of them. Also this car floated around Newport quite a bit.

yeah, i remember, i had the saphire blue gxl w/ the body kit (since been converted into my TurboII) and met this joe wystup, and then there was the group, and this guy named chris from newport, he had a silver FC. there were some others with less than spectacular cars that followed, then it all died down as fast as it started. i do think i remember your car!

Yeah, I know Chris from Newport. I can't stand that kid. He thinks he knows everything about rotaries.

Bedford here. I currently have an 83 RX-7 LE and an 04 RX-8. The 83 is being built to be raced one day, currently one heck of a fun drive (like a go-kart). We should all get together sometime. I am always up to hangout and all.

Yeah, I think all us NH rotorheads should hangout sometime. Oh, and there is another rotorhead in Charlestown. My roommate just got a 91 n/a.

yeah that chris guy did flap his gums alot. i couldnt stand alot of them, they didnt really know anything about the one unique thing about their car, THE ENGINE..... i hope there can be some gatherings of any or all NH rotorheads sometime this spring or sumthin...

I actually just moved up to the newport/claremount area too for work. Havent seen any 7's around yet but my roomate has an fd that we need to trailor up from mass.

There is a good spot here in Charlestown to hold a RX meet. I am going to look into this and see how possible it will be to make an event happen for us NH guys.

that would be cool. a decent gathering to get all interested rotorheads out of hibernation. i still gotta register mine. id like to hear from some others on this forum. i seen a decent red FC in northwood. dont know whos it is. im still more interested in who wants to go to rotorfest this year if it go's through....

Since when are you in Bedford, you move from Heniker? I though you were some where else? This is justin btw in Greenfield.

Hey, Rich here, living in the booming metro area of Newbury. I've got a black '85 GSL-SE with some minor mods. The 7 community is pretty small around NH. It would be great to get together sometime. My car doesn't go out as long as there is a grain of salt left on the road though. So for me, spring through fall meets are best. I am planning on going to Rotorfest this year, so if anyone else is interested, lets hook up. Oh, if you guys know of anyone looking for SA parts, I'm parting out my two '79 project cars. And I drove my first two 79's in the winter for years. Not too practical if your driving long distance in a snow storm, but.............pure Ballz-out fun to drive around town.

the 7 community isnt small around nh.. not everybody whores it up on the internet :)

I have a 86 gxl with a cosmo re, t04s etc
girlfriend has a 10th ae
good friend has 2 88 gtu's
another friend has a 87 gxl

girlfriends friend has a s4 gxl i belive..
girlfriends ex just picked up a 85 gsl?

another good friend of mine has my first car, a 87 gxl and is turboing it

thats just people i know in strafford county

-Jacob

mine doesnt come out till the roads are salt free as well. sounds like you ^^^ know alot of owners and thats awesome. its good to hear all of these cars are still around. hope to see em all this spring or somthing. lets be organized. oh, got a 85 gsl for sale. pretty decent shape, and all original.

well I'm from maine but I would love to meet all of you at epping sometime this summer. I'm currently putting my t2 back together. Half bridgeported(CrackHead did the porting), microtec, not sure on the turbo or the exhaust yet. I had the racing beat turbo back but want to go single now.

What type of porting id he do, mainly. How did he extend the port. I was reading up on TeamFC about someone that did a halfi on a turbo motor but he did not change the port closing timing. He only advanced the opening timing which he said, the type of port he did was tremendously better with a lot of low end torque instead of the usually way of changing the port closing timing.

Hey Rich, I havn't heard from you in a while. Remember me from greenfield? There was me, you and OtakuRx.

We should all definatly have a meet. Lets find a spot :) How does greenfield sound :lach: .... Again.

epping would be a decent place, just need to get closer to spring, aaaa its taking forever

The opening was left stock, closing was slightly later. I wanted to increase peak tq maintaining a relativly stock powerband. IE dont beat the shit out of the engine and it makes decent power

does anyone nere no tim baronowski? he used to be the rotary mechanic at autex mazda in keene...

Yeah, epping does sound like a good idea.

sooooo, who wants to set-up a spring-time get together?

My friend and I are planning a meet in our area sometime this spring. I will give some details when we get more info.

hey, i'm not in nh, but i am right on the border just below rindge, and jaffrey. my car is in peices right now, but hopefully it will be ready for somtime in the summer. i'd definetly be up for going up to epping, even just to watch while my car is apart. let me know. anyone close to me?

RotaMan99, (Justin?) Yeah man, how've you been? It was cool to meet up with you guys in Greenfield. Too bad I got there late and couldn't hang longer. We definately should do something about a meet in the spring. I'm also trying to schedule in a trip to Rotorfest if anyone else is thinking of a caravan.

Yup, thats me.

I would love to go to rotorfest but I think work will take over the time.

I have been good. struggling hard with money and on the verg of loosing the house but we hope to bounce back soon.

Ya there was only you and the other guy, no one else showed but it was good to meet you 2 since you are both nice guys and it would be fun to meet up again some time in the future.

found three fc's in pittsfield, stashed between some trailers, anyone on here know whos they are? just curious....

also does anyone know who has the really clean red fc w/ the black rims in northwood?

Pretty dead here in NH, anyone got any projects goin' on???

NH is always dead. If the weather warms up I have a small 2 stroke injections system going on. Using the OMP. Thats all I got for now though.

I have all the manifolds off my RE to re-do all gasket surfaces, new fuel injector orings top and bottem. general cleaning of the engine bay

reworking my exhaust manifold for a vband wastegate instead of a greddy 4bolt style

hopfully re-doing my downpipe because its been reworked 5+ times and has a weld every 2"'s at the most over the first 16 inches.

Once it warms up swapping in freshly rebuilt 4pots up front, installing my line locks. might get some sort of boost/pwm activated exhaust dump because i now have a cat and dont really want to ruin it due to the crazy fuel these cars desire

once its warm enough to move my friends car out of his garage, hes fixing the slight rear fender rot i have, were rolling my fenders ands hes gona get some paint. the 275's out back just need a little more fender on them

other than that, slowly peicing together parts for a fwe 5lug swaps and a turbo swap on other peoples cars

one or two more weeks and this weather will break and its time for the fun

my half bridged engine is together now. It's not in the car but the short block is assembled. I picked up a masterpower GT45 turbo and a new 3" single exhaust that will take place of my old racing beat setup. Hopefully the car will be back together in a month or so and I can start tuning. Should be interesting.

Dom_C what are you doing with the racing beat setup? if your selling i might have a friend(s) inttreasted in it


-Jacob

I sold my hybrid turbo, rtek, 750cc injectors, intake manifolds, TB, fuel rails, intercooler, exhuast and some other little things with a 87n/a that I picked up for 300bucks. I sold all the parts with that car so the kid could have a "bolt on" turbo setup. He's almost done putting it together now to I guess, should be a pretty sweet ride.
I had spares of all the parts that I sold so it wasn't a big deal.
Ohhh you remember that guy that you had asked about his turbo2 tranny? he still has his racing beat setup from the presilencer back, his name on the forums is Mazdarick PM you and maybe he'll give you a package deal, not sure though . .haha
