hey, So it looks like im going to be moving down to Powder Springs, Georgia
in a couple of months and was wondering how the rotary scene is down there?

i have a 85 RX-7 with a couple of mods on it, nothing to serious yet lol.

 

I like your muffler, what style is it?

As for the GA crew, I go to the Old Guys with 12a's meet in jefferson. That looks to be about an hour and a half for you which isn't TOO bad, I drive down there about 4 or 5 times a year so far and its about 3.5 hours for me.

I believe there is also an atlanta crew, never met up with them... yet.

 

I believe that is a Magnaflow muffler Stu. Like mine but smaller I would imagine

The Ga OGTA crew is very cool. Stu^ and I go down there quite often and the guys/gals there are top notch. Very friendly and helpfull.

 

yea, its a Magnaflow.

yea i checked out the OGTA thread and it looks like they have a good size meet with some good looking 7's

 

Yeah definitely check out the OGTa at least once. Normally a great turnout. I think I've seen anywhere between 8 to 15 people show up.

 

yeah come on down. the rotary scene is kickin'.

 

Rotary scene is good in the area. With that said, you'd be surprised how many of us just can't get out to the meets or have immobile cars at the moment If we could all get out, there would be a HUGE group!

 

I am right near you in Marietta/Kennesaw when there is a weekend meet or something, we will have to meet up then drive to the meet.

hey im roger and the rotary seen is pretty good over here in the Gwinnett County area.. my email is bxbomba@tmail.com if u ever wana come down and see some 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen in my area email me ok.. rotary forever!!!!

 

Missouri eh? thats a move.

nice car tho, yeah i heard its nice down that way, i intend to make it down there sometime for a meet or two.

 

Yeah Georgia is the homesite of several rotary based shops:

Mazdmart which funded first gen racing in the 70s

and that one shop that tuned the RX-792 famous for top grade rebuilds.

This has made the scene pretty huge. The Mitty 2 years ago was hosted by Mazda and they had both 1984 Lola T616s, the 3 rotor Le Mans C2 class winning cars. We had Zoom Fest at Road Atlanta which was 90% rotary attendance (including a Cosmo!) and a few Miatas and a MAzdaspeed6.

It's a great rotary spot.

 

id love a JC Cosmo... anyone else in agreeance? xD

 

True. I've been trying to go to the OGTA meets for the past 3 or 4 months, but my car keeps telling me no.

 

sounds sweet! i will defiantly get a hold of you guys when i come in town. o and i just bought another 7 today so it looks like i will be towing one and driving one down lol.

 

where's the atlanta group usually meet up? i live right off peachtree industrial...and i swear i'm the only FD in the entire city. i saw an FC on 75N a few months ago..that's about it.

 

We have a regular monthly meet at Jeffrey's Sports Bar in Suwanee on 1st Tuesday of the month. Exit 111 off of I-85N. How far up Peachtree Industrial are you?

 

OGTA is meeting up with the Old School Japanese Car (OSJC) group this afternoon up at lake Lanier. The usual monthly meeting time is the first Tuesday of the month at Jeffery's in Suwanee at 7:00 pm.

Here's some photos from the OSJC/OGTA meeting at Fort Yargo this summer and some others from recent OGTA meetings in Suwanee and at Crit's lake house:



















Here's the flyer for today's OSJC/OGTA meet:



There will be an OGTA meeting at Jeffery's Tuesday Nov 4 but being election day it's hard to say who'll show up.

 

i'm where peachtree industrial and johnson ferry connect, it's right where the chamblee marta station is. you guys have a list serv or something to keep in touch or organize these meetings? i'd love to meet some fellow rx-7 owners near me.
