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.

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.

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.

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 .... Again.

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.

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.

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
