that FD actually did move. it's been there since i first arrived in GP about 4 years ago. It moved from one side of the house to the other, and i saw the hood up one day, but it hasn't moved since. Got a miata at the same house, lot of miatas rollin' around here.

This I know is a reach but does anyone recognize this car - know who owns it? I guess it was last sold to some guy near Sweet Home and I would be interested in buying it back as I used to own it. 1979, was all original including solid black vinyl interior, had a double black vinyl racing stripe on it including on it's sunroof ... Thanks for looking.

I know of a couple 79's in Sweet home, however neither of them fit the description. I will keep a sharp eye out for it though.

Thanks Robert - I guess the rumor was the guy who bought it intended on a V8 conversion It sucks because if I had known the guy I sold it to 8 years ago would sell it I would have bought it back from him, a bit bummed when I learned it was gone

Oh my bad. The guy with the red FC with Lambo doors works at the stereo store by the high school. There is another black S5 GTU in town then. If you go out 20 toward sweet home, just look to your right just after the golf corse. I also saw a white FC over by Rite-Aid. Waved.
Its funny how many 7's I see in this small town when I drive mine. I never see them when I'm in another car.

a couple weeks ago saw a montego blue fd driving the opposite way on interstate by PIR. Was funny cause I haven't seen one on the road in months and my first drive to work got to see one.

As far as the meets i'm down friday or saturday, sunday before 4 as well. could also get some of the mr2 community to come out and hang as well.

Just want to introduce myself...

I'm benjamin and I have a 1988 black rx7 convertible that's basically stock. I live in the Lebanon area and go to school at Linn Benton C.C.

I've been on the forum for awhile but just used it for information. I'd love to go to any rx7 meets in my area (as far as portland probably).


I got my car this past july and have fixed what I can. I rely on it everyday so it's hard to work on it.

I replaced the thermostat and the u joints, but I have alot left that doesnt work:
(not asking for help, but any advice would be welcome)

-driver side window, I think the passenger window now too (don't want to find out..)

-my flashers come on (switch is bad). I pulled the fuse and hope cops dont notice my lack of turn signal use.

-my stereo is completely screwed up, the previous owner put in an aftermarket stereo but was high when he wired it... mono sound. when I turn on the lights, it turns off. the door speakers dont work. the radio doesnt work.
I'm thinking I'll just take that to a shop and put some decent speakers in and have them fix it all.

-accesory power, clock, driver side key..

-coolant overflow issue that seems inconsistent
I think that's most of it

But every time I drive it, I can't help but smile, so it's worth it.
