It looks like the Washington thread was doing good so I thought I would post a Oregon thread.

I know there have been threads in the past, but lets get a updated thread going.

I know you guys are out there there are 97 FDs alone in Oregon according to the newly released registry info

93 FD Touring
Eugene, Oregon

 

Nice FDs... Wish i saw you guys around.

Heres my '88 FC






Heres the 7 in some less mild oregon weather.

 

Hey Richard, where did you get your various parts chromed at….they look nice. It would be a nice substitute for those slightly oxidized and older looking parts
I have read harley places are capable of doing a good job, but never inquired.

synesthete looks good as well as long as its clean and strait, the rotary love is there.
I remember working on a really nice GTU with my cousin back in the day, great cars in there own right. Sadly it was flipped, probably one of the nicest cleanest 2nd gens I had ever seen.

 

If you want polishing done, I highly recomend Beaver Metal polishing. While I have'nt done business with him in a quite some time Henry (The owner) did *alot* of Freightliner stuff, not to mention his dozens of bikes he owns. He's located on in Millwalkie just off of 99E. If you want an adress I could probably scrounge one up. But if you do go to him, please tell him I said Hi. CJ

BTW, 93 B. Black Base model with a couple bolt-ons.

 

I had a local place here in Eugene/Springfield do the polishing and chrome work (turbojeff recommended the place). They do great work and fairly inexpensive. Let me know if you want the name of the company let me know.

 

Here's my 93 with a LS1/T56 swap. James

 

Work in progress 93 Touring

 

When it was running.

 

My FC a few months ago:

 

I did'nt post pics of the outside of my car as it still looks like a stock R-1, except for the n1 dual tip. So, its no big deal as far as looks go. CJ

 

myns not a fd but still rotary

hay pp13bnos do you go to the drags there alot?
im headin down saturday this week to watch the drags since i just moved to usa from nz i wanna see what they drag

new zealand= rotor mania

 

Down here in Roseburg, My FC project so far.
bov\downpipe\exhuast\hks filter\tanabe springs and the rest of the money goes to actualy keeping it running





my personal favorite

 

I very, very rarely see anouther rotary car at Woodburn. When I do go, my car usually gets alot of attention. The next time I think I'm going to be down there is the Friday night drags season opener. There usually is'nt very many people if you get in the gates early. I've ran 12+ times in just a couple hours.

Is the rail in the background rotary powered? CJ

 

nice picture!

 

haha yeah i had a moment of inspiration at the coast. i have that as my wallpaper. thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

when i get my FD here in a week or so i'll go to the same spot and take a picture of it just like this one too


just wish i had that center cap on that rear wheel =(

althought i got in a accident so the rear driver side of the car is smashed in and the exhuast is bent to hell. so i wish the center cap was the biggest problem i have... sucks since i sold my protege and that is my daily driver.

 

That is an awesome picture! I love FCs from that angle. FC's are all about certain angles whereis FDs look good from any angle.

 

Portland Or!

 

.... I feel bad even showing you guys to picts of my FCs.... all of your cars look so much nicer...

[The red one is from when I first got the car... that corner is scraped and dented from an accident and so is the rear bumper and area just above the rear driver's wheel.. ]

..The GXL looks the same except without the fan and half the pumps on the engine.

 

haha i'll show you what mine looks like now and you may change you're opinion

 

so we should get like a BBQ going somewhere. i think that would be rad. i could get all of you guys to fix my car

 

finally went out and took some current pictures of what my car looks like now. rain and bad tires don't mixed. **** happens even when your doing 30mph

 

Ouch!

What did you tag?

Ah just throw a little bondo on it, itl fix right up.

Did your insurance company cover the hit and run wink wink..
j/k

 

nah i had liability on it and it was raining with my bad tires. i had a new clutch in it so when i down shifted going around this corner i think i might has accidently gear locked it becuase all of the sudden the back end started to come out on me and i was doing ok counter steering but then i hit some gravel and the car just continued to go all the way around so i hit the wall on the right side bakwards.

i bought a rx7 sport with a blown motor for 400 bucks, so this weekend i'm swapping everything over to that. should be awesome. i went and looked to see how much it would cost to fix it and my friends dad said $1k would be a good start. swaping the parts over will be a lot of work but it will be cheaper in the end. and shell has new tokico struts and pioneer cd/mp3 player with speakers.
