Alaska Area.
 
Been a while since I posted on here. I'm moving to the Anchorage area soon and wanted to see if there is a RX-7 scene there as well. I plan on paying off some bills and buying a FD if I can find a nice one up there.

When I lived in Anchorage from 2005-2008, and I didn't see many rx7s at all. I probably saw a couple of each generations. Mostly 1st gens. I wouldn't suggest looking for one once you get there. Just because you'll find such a limited selection if any at all. Don't forget to consider the added costs for shipping parts and etc. And trying to work on it during the winter months. If you do get a garage consider a heated one. There is a car scene in general up there. Autocross and drag strip. As soon as the roads are dry the cars come out. If I had to live up there again I would probably consider a more dependable car just to have the peace of mind to go on longer distance road trips throughout the state.

I appreciate your response. I do have a couple of dependable cars. I was hoping to get a FD as a side, project car just for the fun. It's just sad to hear there isn't a RX-7 scene up there....as I am renewing my passion.
