Hey, hows it going? I live in richmond, in the West End actually. Just wanted to say hey and see whats up. Any first generation owners here?

 

I've got just about everything here minus front bumper.
Call me - 687-6199 and you can come check the stuff out.
I'm located just off I-295 @ the Woodman exit - not too far at all from Ashland.

We have one guy in here who does, but he's too busy riding his crotch rocket to care about the silly RX-7 forums!

 

Well the pics are on the way I should have them posted by this Tuesday. I don't currently have internet access at my new job or at home. Well a $1000 later I have an FD, mainly the thing wrong with it is that it hasn't been run in 3 years. So first I'll have to clean up the fuel system, I also need to get a new battery for it. I had temporarily used th FC battery to get the windows up, so it looks like alot of the electricals are good but I haven't tryed to turn it over yet. I have basically spent the last week cleaning it. The guy had done some nice upgrades - bigger radiator, intake kit, and all the vacuume lines have been replaced. On the downside both front fenders have good size dents and it has been keyed and the 5th gear synchro is supposed to be shot, but for what I paid I ain't complaing.

 

WOW!! Looks like you got a steal. Looking forward to the pics.

Where did you get it from? Was it local?

 

Greeting, I'm seeking a shop here in Va that does chassy and tubbing work. I live in Hampton roads area and I haven't been very sucessful finding a shop that does this type of performance modifications. I'd appreciate any direction for this issue.

and I got it running today (swapped in the battery from the 325is fired right up even with the 3 year old gas in it - amazing car)

 

I'm sure you already know this, but make sure not to boost with that 3 year old gas in the tank.

 

yet more pics

That sure doesn't look like any $1000 FD I had ever seen. This would make a fantastic track car.

 

I've turned it over a few times earlier at lunch, and ran it for 5 minutes around dinner time. I'm going to change the oil thisweekend, no boosting to avoid detonation I take it?

 

Really the main thing wrong with it is it sat for 3 years - so all the fluids need to be changed and the tires might be flat spotted but I can't tell yet - they are a nice set of Michelin's
have been cleaning the hell out of the car - after a week in the sun the mildew smeel is almost gone.
I'll tell you what, that CAI intake on there is loud you can hear the air getting sucked in.

 

and finally

In FC news I have just about all the suspension work done - I just need to get the RB rear sway bar in
What I do have installed is:
RB front sway bar and RB heavy duty adustable endlinks all the way around
RB progressive rate springs
Corksport front and rear strut tower braces
Tokico Illumina shox

the car handles great

 

FD update: well i found the coolant leak the PO was bitching about - the bottom of the overflow tank is cracked sooo I'll be ordering a new one this week.
This past weekend I put in an Oddyssey PC 1200 battery so now I don't have to worry about the battery 'sploding as much.
I think there might be a benefit autocross this weekend as well - I'll check the VMSC site and let you all know

 

cafcwest,
left you a message tonight about the s5 parts I stopped to look at a few weeks ago. I would like to pick them up this week if possible. Let me know when is good for you.

Robin

 

any of you 3rd gen guys have a recommendation on where or whose overflow tank to use?
