Will arrive in Arlington, VA and DC area
Hi guys, i'll be arriving in Arlington, VA and will be attending my meeting/training at the American Red Cross HQ in DC are on June 20 and 21st. I was wandering if is there any peeps that wants to hang out with me with their RX7. I really hope i can have the chance to sit on one of RX7 that have T-78 or T-88 turbo installed on it, to get the feeling as right now i'm considering to do a single turbo or an LS1 swap. Have not decided which way i'll be taking and i hope that after hanging out with you guys, i'll know what i want to do.

My T78 FD is street worthy but no idea what my schedule is like.

I suppose I could get mine back together this week and ready for the weekend! It's been a combination of work and lack of motivation keeping me from getting it back together...oh yeah and its a t-78 FD so you should get a good feeling if thats the route you would like to go or not...

A3ON7, welcome to the area. youll find that having fun with your car will be quite difficult b/c of the Fairfax county cops and the ENDLESS traffic. but its not all that bad... there are drag strips (both 1/4mile and 1/8mile) within at most an hours drive... and road courses in southern VA and West VA. theres also some weekly autocrossing at Fed Ex field every sunday... or so im told.
Rated the #1 worst traffic area in the nation

Thank you for the warmth reply and I'll not be coming down with my 7 as i'm there for leadership training and meeting at the HQ of American Red Cross.
I know about traffic wise, but hey if i have the chance to meet up with some rotor heads over in that area, i don't mind driving an hour to meet up with you guys and have a blast with you guys talking about cars, hanging out or we can do anything.
