Hey my friend found a flyer on his car the other day that told him to come to this website and go to this section. well he asked me to look on here for him because he doesnt have internet. i figured there would be a picture of his car or something on here about it but i cant seem to find it. hes got an '82 black Rx-7 and hes from Richmond / Chesterfield area. i could take a picture of it and post it on here if ya guys want. i got an '87 myself but it doesnt have any mods on it yet. is there a place on this website where you can post pics?

I'm pretty sure they don't have any rips, but I could be mistaken. If you want you can come down and pick them up, and witness the twisties that are around my home yourself. I could probably come to Richmond, but I'm not very good navigating around southside (got lost about 6 times). Tommorow I'll take some pics of the seats so you can see for yourself. Thanks again for showing an interest in them.

Beach week 'eh? I was supposed to go down with a bunch of my friends, but at the last second some of them couldn't put the money down for a house... oh well, my money could probably go to better places anyway.

Anyway, I graduated today! Woohoo! I had to give a speech because I am the salutatorian, which wasn't fun. Even though I am sick as hell it sure feels damn good to be done. Off to VA tech I go...

If I wasn't so sick it would be for me tonight!

OMG, we're turning into a cult. Alright, who did it?
You can attach files to your post if you want. We have a website, but the server is down. You'll know when its back up because the pics in my signature will work.
Basically we're just a group who likes to use and abuse our rexies. There'll be a demonstration of this on the 22nd.

Congrats man. Have a major yet? Don't worry if you don't. Nobody cares what your major is when you graduate unless your a doctor or an engineer.
Whats the status on the FD search?

What time do you guys plan on heading out there?

I'm gonna have to swing by the rents to pick up/install the MBC...then do a lil street tuning on the way.

I've decided the next best thing I can do for myself is pick up the TechEdge WB 2.0....soooo there goes another 400 or so...

I'd have no problem letting anyone borrow it...if you'd wanna chip in... jk

Thanks man. I'm in the engineering school at tech, hopefully to major in aerospace engineering.

I'm just waiting for the right fd (or a really nice S5 TII) to come by. I'm not in a big hurry at all, I've got a nice TR6 to hold me over while I wait.

brian was telling me last night he put a peice of paper on a black rx7 that said "THE RX7 CLUB KNOWS ABOUT YOU" and at the bottom it said "rx7club.com - ne forum - richmond, va owners". kinda funny they actually showed up

welcome to the group. since hes at beach week he wont be on for a while.


... yesterday after it rained, but went to my high school parking lot to prove to my friend i could do reverse 180's.. after i did, i drove around the school, then came back. as i was almost all the way around the school, an older guy yells for me to come over there. i think "****.. im going to get bitched at" hes look at my licence plate.. looking around my car as i pull up. as i stop, he asks me what im driving, i tell him "an rx7".... long story short, he has an 87 t2 hes trying to get rid of. he knew about rotaries, but didnt really know how they work. he said its been sitting in his garage for a little while since it was either his daughter's or grand-daughter's. he was an older guy, he said he cant drive it because it hurts his back to get down in a car so low. i got his number and im going to go look at it this week. he said down the line of owners, the guy said, what he desribed, that it wasnt building boost. he said the gauge would move though. i guess ill see if the turbo builds boost, if he will let me drive it, which im sure he will. im going to see if theres an shaft play and so on. but what other things to look at? i really want to do the 2.3 swap, but i would love to get my hands on a t2 as well, even though i doubt ill buy it, i just want to atleast take a look at it.

if its any good and the price is right I just might get it, that is if you don't want it. I know I said I was going to do the silver car, but damn it would be nice to just have to do simple stuff lol.

After speaking with a friend of mine, I don't think the gates will be open for spectators until 5:00 so I won't head down their until then.
Does anybody want to meet somewhere and get a beer or a late lunch/early dinner?

I don't know of many people, if any, who have made this much power out of a 2 rotor on c16, turbo only....All this on stock 2mm apex seals with an aggressive porting job by Demetrios himself......SHould be the right combo for a low 9 or even a high 8 second pass. If the rain holds out, the Battle of the Imports race this Saturday at VMP in Virginia will be one hell of a show! I'll post the dyno sheet tonight when I get home.

Tell me, who do ya think will tune my RX7 next year??!! Especially since I'll be running almost the same setup....Should be able to put the Supra's in their place finally.....
Hope to see you guys at the race.

i REALLY wish i wasnt working today

Sorry I didn't go guys, but if 4 girls ask you to goto the beach, what would you do? Now I'm red and hungover...

If the gauge on that T2 is moving but it's not building boost, I'd wonder how many miles the cats have on them...

VMP was very cool last night. The car run by Reactive Racing is awesome.
Demetrious and his crew were very nice as well.
A few other RX7s out their but I didn't get to meet everyone.
It was nice hanging out with everyone.
