whats up everyone i am from pittsburgh and my job is forcing me to move to nc..pineville area just seeing if anyone is from around that area and how it is and a good local shop since im not gonna have a garage to work on things myself
thanks !

 

If you area a rotorhead then the Pineville/Charlotte area is a great place to locate. You have one of the premier engine builders right up I-85 in Kannapolis, Rotor Sports Racing and there are quite a few RX7 and I'm sure RX8 onwers in the area. You'll also be fairly close to upstate South Carolina and the rotorheads that live in that area. You can check out the Rotor Sports Racing website to get some idea of their expertise. http://www.rotorsportsracing.com/lobby.htm

Also Charlotte is a couple of hours east of the Great Smoky Mountains and the Tail of the Dragon, US Hwy 129. Great place to take your RX7 out for a little excercise. The Deals Gap Rotary Rally '06 will be happening next April and you'll be close to the action.

Welcome to a Rotary paradise.

 

theres alot of people in charolette and the surrounding area that have sevens, you should like it here if your from up north you dont have to worry about that weather junk as much. well welcome to NC and hope you like it once you get things settled down youll have to let some of us know so we can meet up with ya. take it easy robert

 

dude one of the nice things about NC is that you can drive your 7 whenever you want. Snow is rarely ever an issue. There will be snow on the ground about 4 days a year. Everything will then shut down so you won't even have to go to work.

 

Yeah i was down there this past weekend and noticed a lot of rx8 i didnt see any fds tho but i am sure with the beautiful weather there is prolly a lot. i would love to meet up with anyone in the area esp because i pretty much dont know anyone....thanks for all the info
eric
ps ill be there dec 1........

 

Maybe once you get settled, you could come up to one of the Raleigh meets, too. We'd love to have ya!!

 

yeah i will def come up

im glad there is a warm welcome.......i hate moving and starting completely over....
it sucks when you dont know anyone.......but i think it will be ok...esp if i find a couple other rotary heads to hang out with....

 

Welcome to our state!

Coming from PA, you'll probably think our weather is quite balmy and nice this time of year. If you are hardcore enough, you could probably go ahead and ditch the winter wardrobe in favor of your fall clothing.

Good thing about all that is, that we don't have to store the RX-7s over the winter. It's been said already, but there are a lot of rotaries and support in the area.

Welcome and Good luck!

 

I KNOW THE WEATHER IS CRAZY AWESOME!!

all i know is the miles on the 7 are gonna start rackin up

good thing gas is starting to go down!

 

Well I'm in Charlotte w/ a T2 and have seen 2 FDs on my campus, 2 1st gens, and 1 other FC than mine. We used to have monthly meets but the girl that did them doesn't do them anymore. And no one else has started anything regularly scheduled since really.... But the SC meets in Columbia will be about 2 hours max from you when they happen.... Usually Charlotte ones are just random things.

 

Welcome to NC. There is also the Charlotte chapter of the Mazda Sports Car Club of North Carolina (MSCCNC) that usually meets once a month at a local eatery.

Check out the MSCCNC website and forum at http://www.msccnc.org

We look forward to seeing you at one of the meetings!

I lived in NC for 14 years. Born in Va. Really liked it there. Welcome. RotarSports Racing in Kannapolis is what I would recommend also.

 

pineville eh? i lived in pineville for like 10 years or something. now i'm only 20 minutes north in Mint Hill. we have a pretty big rx7 crew in the area, we'd love to add another! we usually meet every saturday, it's not something posted on this forum anymore because 90% of the time anyone who says they'll come end up not doing so due to many things happening. so we figured, if you wanna bring out the 7, do so saturdays at the harris teeter off providence exit 485. (exit 57, go right 1 mile it's on the right) come out this weekend!

i drive a Turbo 1st gen
jared's got a T70 fc
neil has a half bridge TII
ty has another soon to be Turbo 1st gen
brandon n/a fc
jason has turbo 6port fc
jeff has a TII
the list goes on....

we're here for you

 

If you ever come down by the beach there's quite a few of us here as well...

 

i def will........i am not going to be down there till dec 1st.......and then i will be gone that weekend for the cincy pittsburgh game.....but the weekend after that i think its like the 11th or 12th i will be there........thats awesome you guys meet up... i can hardly find any 7's up here at all.......
