Welcome

Everyone is up north!!! Im in grants pass and I have a few friends with 7's but I see a lot drivin around... but they're all stock lol

I have family in the GP i visit every few months. But the only 7 I've ever seen down there was a faded red fd that never moved

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.

mr2 owner newly lurking in here, you guys wouldnt happen to know of any local FD's for sale would you? prefferably popped motor lol

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.

That fd in gp on bridge street??? Its in rogue river at robs now gettin worked on. I usually see fc's cruisin around :/

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. :icon_tup:
-Robert.

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 :pat:

Spotted a White FD on Hall Blvd at the 217 on ramp. It was around 3:15pm today.

Hey I just moved up here from LA this past week with my black GTU swapped turbo. Stuck in Lenanon though haha

Hey guys I live in Newberg and work in Tigard, don't have a Rx7 yet but looking to pick up a FD soon.

Think I seen you today. I drove by and did teh rotor rev. Is there a red(ish) FC with lambo doors where you are?

I didnt see or hear ya, an I dont know of a red FC round here I've not been out much since I've been here a week lol

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.

Just picked up a red 93! auto :/ for now. Hope i'm part of the team now lol... Just across the bridge in vancouver.

Hi Guys. I picked up a 87 GXL not to long ago.
I'm in Salem. I see a few other rx7s in town but not to often.
Maybe I will se more in the summer time.

Im sure you will see more out runnin amok when it warms up a bit.
RW-7 Yeah I saw the other GTU the other day goin down to the hobby shop and it looks identical to mine but I've got a turbo hood, and a newly busted tail light with a "band aide" on it haha

Also spotted a white S4 (GXL?) close to where I live. Looked pretty mint!

ha .. haaaa .. i live up in portland area and its funny how many rx7s are around here . there is even a club for those who are interested .. [RPNW] .. rotory power northwest.com .. i recently have spotted two FD's flying around the oregon city / redland area ..

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 bought FD. it's 2nd one for me and I had 2 FC in the past..
Good to be back here !!

very nice

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.

I saw a dark colored s5 (or at least the tail lights) coupe at the knothole market getting gas on 2/6 at around 9pm or so

Hey Ben its Rick from OReilys. Cool to see you got on here, most of these guys/girls know their stuff. Im sure ther'll be another meet in no time. If not I'll try to organize one for the locals closer to spring/summer.

Lets see if I can help with what you got there.
Windows: checked/replaced fuses? Next is the switches, I know they are the same as the 90 mazda MPV last I checked. Maybe that could be it?

Flasher: I can special order a new one I think, and I know its the same as an mx5. Find one in a junk yard your golden. Let me know if you do too, cause I could use a spare!

Stereo: just sounds like you got a case of rats nest, if you are stereo savvy just pull it out and run new harness/wires. It worked with mine.

If you want to hit me up on FB, or pm me whatever :icon_tup:

The driver side window motor works and the window will operate with (alot) of assistance. I think it just came off the roller.

Been meaning to check the junkyards, I'm going to try to go to pick a part in albany this week. How much would a new switch cost?

I'm new to not only rotaries, but cars in general, but I'm learning fast :D

Hi from Lebanon also. :wave:

nice what are you driving?

At the pick a part.... Im not sure. Only know of 2 7's there if they still are. Shouldnt be too much...

Hey Rob! :wave:
Get yours going yet?

I have a red 91. Its mostly a garage Queen. :lol:
I might pull out my GSL-SE this Summer. See Sig.

I am getting ready to release my FC from Bellingham and bring her down to Portland. It would be cool to roll with some other Rx7's in Portland. Shoot me an IM, if you want to terrorize the streets if there are any get togethers coming up this spring.

Welcome to PDX.

Dave

Rx7 here in portland

I'm in Grants Pass anyone down this way I need you help
Plz

When I get her running and legal you should be able to see my black FC makin' a racket all over Portland, Milwaukie, Oregon City, Beaverton, and Vancouver. I'm currently living and working in SE Portland. Hoping to eventually meet more rotary lovers in the area.

Hey my name is jozey. I just moved to portland/beaverton area from Australia a few months ago for work. I got myself a nice gsl-se a few weeks ago pending license but it would be great to meet up with some of you guys one day. I went to the rose cup races at pir on sunday and that was intense!
Feel free to send me a message or anything, im 18yrs old and work on helicopters at the airport, and loving living here for a while.
Peace

i wanna go to australia!

Welcome to Beaverton Jozey. I live in the area, so you might see me driving around a bit.
I know of a couple meets we do monthly if your intrested in meeting some fellow rotorheads. :)

Welcome to the north west :icon_tup:

Thanks alot fellas,

I'll let you know when i get my license, hoping it will be with in the next week or two, and try and come out to one of these meets before i go back to australia in september for a holiday...

Here is a photo of my gsl-se

Welcome dude! I work in the big hanger on the Air National guard base at PDX. I live in Beaverton too if you ever need tools or a hand.

Awesome, we have a sikorsky s-55 parked outside there. I go there quite often so i might see you around. Cheers!

That is a big airframe. What are you doing with that?

The company i work for is called whisperjet and i've only been working for them for about 8 months now so don't quote me on anything but originally the s-55's had a radial piston engine and whisperjet purchased the entire inventory of spare parts from sikorsky and around 20 airframes. Some of the airframes are now far beyond repair but many of the good ones have been fitted with honeywell gas turbine engines, converted from a 3 blade rotor system to a 5 blade and many other modifications so they can be used for a wider range of tasks.
There is one in New Guinea at the moment doing work on a pipeline and other than that there isn't a whole lot of other work happening at the moment but hopefully there will be soon.

New rx7 Hillsboro/Beaverton
 

I just bought my turbo fb and hopefully it will be tuned and ready to playon monday. I am hoping to find some other loacal 7's to drive with sometime. anyone have a working link for local meets/clubs? The link k4killer posted didnt work for me.

Welcome to the forum!
RPNW is still up and going.

We have a pretty active Facebook page now where we will be posting all information about meets and everything. We have general meetings every first Wednesday of the month starting at 7:00pm. Meetings are located at round table pizza off Barbur Blvd.
