RX-7's in the Camp Lejeune area:

red S4 Base/TII (me)
black S4 TII (impulsiverx-7)
black S4 TII with S5 tails
white S4 10TH AE (10thanniversaryrx-7)
red S4 TII
red S4 TII
and a couple other various S4 N/A's + one or two verts

There are also some FB's around:

light blue 81 with a bridgeported and Microteched TII engine running open downpipe (puntorotary)

And some others that aren't on the board... There's also a guy with a RHD SA22C...

Another 7

Thought I would throw my name into the hat.

I too toil at Camp Swampy. I have a silver 94 PEP. bought it second-hand in '98, have had a little work done on it.

Does anyone know of any good rotary experienced mechanics near Lejeune?

yeah raleigh seems to be the place to meet, its about 2 hrs from charolette and statesville/ mooresville area and about 2 hrs from jacksonville. i figured some of the 7 guys down on base were on here, it was really cool to be able point out to my fiancee and her dad the dfferent ones down there. i like seeing 7s around there just something about that feeling. God bless all those who serve our country down at lejeune there and all over the world

Working on it, haven't seen to many people that have had good luck with doing this but I'm pretty determined since it's the reason I came to Okinawa in the first place. Originally I was going to get my hands on a Nissan R34 but decided against it because of the current OBDII issue with the EPA on all Skylines.

My intent is to get my hands on a similar model FD as mine and use it for a parts car during the importation process to lower the price on everything. There are several issues I know off hand that will flag my car but hopefully I can get it through legally, if not than I'll attempt the Race Only option.

Awsome man

I was with 2nd AAV's from 2001-2004 and I'm currently at Schwab now with CAB. I'll probably be back there in the Bay sometime next year or so, sooner if possible.

You may recall seeing my Blue Civic Si out in the Bay when you got out there, I left in January of 2004.

That sounds great, I havent not seen ur fc around what fc do you drive? I been thinking about this t2 with a going out oil seal. Its only 2500 in pa in great shape and still runs good or that gxl. So if i got youll could help me out with the swap? Hope youll could help me out, it would mean alot. Since no shops do. by the way is there any shops around that does?

I have a black S4 TII, and 13b4me has that weird looking thing in his avatar. ha.

What are you trying to swap?

There aren't any rotary shops around here... Well actually there is one in Hampstead, but I've heard they are rediculously expensive.
