Become a member of Rotary Engine Special Vehicle Preservation (RESVP).

RESVP is dedicated to providing for the preservation, promotion, appreciation, restoration, operation or display of vehicles of special interest or antique vehicles.

STANDARDS. The vehicles, like all antiquities, are subject to the process of aging. In order to preserve these historic vehicles, conservation steps need to be taken.
a. Upkeep and preservation.
1. Vehicles of special interest are encouraged to be kept clean.
2. Vehicles of special interest are encouraged to be maintained regularly.
3. It is crucial that any maintenance or repair work be done by skilled people who understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of the vehicle.
4. RESVP does not limit the sanctioning of vehicles to vehicles owned by members of the organization.

Membership is free.

If you are interested in becoming a member then please contact me or go to the Poll.

You have not explained the intent of this organization. Why is it called "rotary engine special vehicle"? What is meant by "skilled people who understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of the vehicle."?

Are you only interested in preserving vehicles that were manufactured with rotary engines? Was my rotary powered GLC or my rotary powered Porsche "special"? What about a beautifully maintained RX-7 with a piston engine? Is that "special"?

Just asking ----

 

Sorry, No disrespect. But I work on my car. I don't have a specialist because i rather work on my own Car. So i guess you wont see me anytime soon. You just Limited your Sign up because of that reason. WHO has an Rx7 and has a specialist? Not many

 

Confused on what this is, but where do I sign up? Drift cars allowed?

 

Yeah let Tweak and I in lol. Although I do a lot of my own work and tend to break stuff so maybe I can't join because I doubt I am a specialist.

 

You can join if you do your own work.
Im pretty new to rotaries, but I have done all my own maintenance and have pledged to keep my vert looking good.

He said I was welcome to join up.

 

My car looks good from the stands, and a majority of the time it's covered by smoke. If that passes your requirements, I'm in!

 

Seems like a snooty club for stock rx (or antique) owners that don't want to be associated with the people that mod them and drive them like sports cars... and break them and fix them.

Tweak, you needn't try to apply, "people who understand the importance of maintaining the integrity of the vehicle."

 

LSX cars rip and handle just as well as stock, seems like integrity to me.

 

I was joking. I agree, but not the integrity part based on the club title, "Rotary Engine Special Vehicle Preservation" eh.

 

Our cars had rotary engines, they are grandfathered in.

 

One does not need to have an RX7 to be a member of RESVP.

There are no requirements to own or to have any vehicle, to become a member.

Membership is for those that think there are rotary engine vehicles, special enough to be preserved.

Here is a link where one can show ones desire to become a member.

Peace.

 

RESVP welcomes and wishes to associate with people that mod them and drive them like sports cars; and people that break them and fix them.

Tweak is most welcome to RESVP. I respect Tweak and defend his right to do whatever he wants to his car. It would be an honor to have Tweak as a member of RESVP.

 

There is no disqualification based on what you own or don't own, or their condition, or who works on your car.

One difference may be that RESVP is non-profit while some of the ones you listed, are not.

 

do i get one of those sick *** oldschool jdm stickers for my window?

 

Sorry. Due to the high demand, we're all out of those.

 

What is the actual purpose of this organization? Is it just declaring your support for the preservation of rotary powered vehicles, or is there something more to it? I mean, either way is fine, I'm just wondering.

 

There are quite a few rotary clubs that are at least somewhat active in this area.

this one
RPNW (meets in beaverton)
No Pistons
Rotary Car Club
and now RESVP.

The motives for this club seem similar to RPNW. Just a group of guys that are fans of a fantastic series of cars and are dedicated to keeping as many of them on the road as possible.

Also Nick, just because my vert is stock and happens to be in great condition does not make me a snooty douche. I'm not afraid to drive the **** out of her. It may only be a stock heavy vert, but its a very clean, comfortable, reasonably fast, and fun car.

 

You forgot RX7 Club of America.

 

The mission of RESVP is to provide, promote and support the acquisition, appreciation, restoration, preservation, operation, enjoyment. or display of vehicles of special interest, historic vehicles, or antique vehicles.

 

That doesn't really answer my question, though. What specifically happens if you join? Are there meets or something? Is there any practical difference between this and joining one of the various rotary forums?

 

So basically you are sayin that in order to join
:provide, promote and support the acquisition:I got a car,I talk about my car,and my Bank account supported the acquisition of it!
:appreciation,restoration,preservation,operation,e njoyment:My car better appreciate me because I am restoring it back to its Driveable state so I can enjoy it!
What the Hell..I'm doing that now!

 

I love the Polling.. I have two choices. I join. Or i Join. lol

 

Being a member of RESVP entitles one to become part of and participate in establishing the direction of RESVP.

There will definitely be meets or something. BBQ's, drives, and other RESVP events are envisioned.

I'm not sure what a "practical difference" you might be referring to but there are differences between RESVP and the various rotary forums. RESVP is not a competitor of these forums and is not attempting to solicit away any of the forums' business. RESVP supports an open communication of rotary engine information. These forums provide a medium for that open communication.

My vision is to see RESVP a brick and mortar entity which may or may not have its own electronic presence. In other words, a building with its own special vehicles where the preservation processes can be done.

As a member, your obligations are few. In fact, right now, there are no obligations of membership.

If you want to join or quit, that is your decision which you make freely. A note to me would be sufficient to either quit or join.

Peace.

Bob

 

I see. Sounds good, then.
