Hello everyone.

Hello everyone hows it going I am new to the rotory scene.I live near Hickory,NC.I have always like the rx7 rotorys I once road in a 1st gen rx7 when I was like 13 or 14 man that was a long time ago lol.Any way I was some what hooked on the styling of the 7 every gen.I have had HOndas in the past a pretty quick turbo mr2 that I built with a tdo6 20g and new motor.I sold it and hated it ever since.
But now im looking into the rx7s now Why you ask well I know nothing about them nor the rotory engine except they have glow plugs and used in airplanes.
Now I may be right but thats why Im here lol.
I like a challange and love to learn more about the rotory power.Im looking into agetting a daliy driver with a little kick for possible autocrossing as well.
So with that said hey all.

Go read through the Stickies for each generation, or the one you're interested in first. Learn the basics and upkeep on these cars. With basic care they are great cars once you do what needs to be done for a car that can be 10 to 18 years old, with modding and not understanding them you'll get flamed as in the "glow plug" comment. Anyway good luck and welcome to the 7 world.

Thank you Greg for putting it in a little nicer way. I just lack people skills and patience.
