Like Ray said, the Old Schools will rise again. When all these projects get finished up, or at least driveable, we need to coordinate a rotary blowout meet. Sounds like Chad has repented and gone back to Old School. If we can get the NC and AL contingent to join in - I see a 12A record. If anyone can remember how we count 12A equivalents. Ray keeps changing the rules.

 

well remember I still have 3 79's, one being a full ReSpeed car soon to get a new heart. The other two are spares or projects for a later time.

The brown gsl-se was not my intention to pick up but could not pass up a full gslse car that runs. Not to either part it, gut it and track it, or fixup and paint. Its getting parked until my SA is back up and running.


I think if the cars age and your age adds up to 40-50 your allowed in! Or if you have several rotaries and they add up plus your age to 100...... he he I meet that one.

Hike!

 

This demo cutaway 12A seemed like something that might interest some people in here:
ULTRA RARE MAZDA RX7 TYPE 12A POWERED CUTAWAY ROTARY ENGINE WORKS GREAT | eBay

 

Holy crap batman! if that thing sells then were selling ours and making 10 more!
That would be a deal at 99 dollars but not 999.

Only somewhat unrelated, can anyone explain to me why dictators are unpopular these days?

Mr. Brown sent this from his C771 using RX7Club app.

 

My repu is only mythical cause you cant figure out facebook Ray.

REPU should be back from paint in a few weeks. Will be a joyous day at the homestead. The wife will wash and wax it. The kids will dance in the driveway singing. The neighbors will all visit one by one throughout the week to spread the joy they feel with its return.

OR

No one will notice........

 

OK I went to facebook and put "billy waits" in the search box and, along with a request for donations, got this:







Is that the one Billy?

Mr. Brown, dictators are actually kind of tasty when they're French fried. Have you ever tried one?



As far as that demo 12A goes, I'm thinking it might be worth the $1000 if the housing and rotor are new, as they appear to be. I could use them for my rebuild:

 

Hey guys long time no see, got to share that the 3 is possibly going out for restoring this fall. Im really thinking of changing the color on it. What you guys think about the new gecko green on the late model Chrysler car? You don't see that many green cars anymore and that color looks very similar to that lime green back in the old days. If anyone has any suggestions on other colors or knows the actual paint code that am looking for please share.

 

Hey guys it cory, i'm missing being back in geogia with my rotory brothers. Yesterday i ran across a old school japanese car show in long beach and damn they had some nice rides. The full album of pics i took are on my facebook. You should check out all the rx-2's,3's,r100's, repu's, and savanna sa first gen i found there here is the link to the album Facebook
Here is a SMALL taste!

 

Hey Cory!

CA 's got nothing on us GA home boys Cory, you know that





Come on back to Georgia next spring, I hear there's a whole new line of Old School's entering the market

 

Yeah Ray we sure know how to do it in Ga. but them guys in Cali didn't have a beater in the crowd. Maybe i can get Cory to smuggle me a few old schools his next trip home.

 

I here that ray i hope to come home the beginning of next year cant wait to see the progress on everyone's projects.

 

Maybe i can smuggle a car back, but they aren't just going to give them up haha.

 

I got my RX-7 out on track this weekend, ran the STARS series as part of the HSR Atlanta Historic Races at Road Atlanta.

 

I love white cars.

Here's what's going in the White One II:

 

so u finally found some good rotor housings.

 

Ray, u may want to pick this up:
"13b Engine stand mount used twice $35"

From this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...others-992691/

EDIT: just notice it's sold, sorry.

 

I guess that Sky Active stuff does have some utility. You can use to haul rotary parts to the machine shop...

 

What's up with the interior on this first gen? Did they have a black interior option? I'm assumign the seats aren't factory. Mazda RX7 GSL 1983- An

 

It's a mongrel, Brett, certainly not worth the asking price.

 

Mike and Michael, I'm still short one 12A rotor housing, Rick nixed the one with the minor flaking on the edge but said the good one was good enough. Let me know if you know where I can get another one.

The rotors look like they will be fine and Rick is lapping the flat housings. Both the rotors and housings will need new eshaft bushings.

Looks like we're gonna' build a 12A.

Dudes, the ebay fairy visited Jefferson today, look what he brought me:

 

I couldn't read the badge on the b pillar, could it say "LE"? Only 5k of them were shipped to the US for 1983. '83 Limited Editions only came in Chateaux Silver with a burgundy leather interior, a badge on the b pillar, and the 14" honey comb/BBS-ish wheels. If that's the case it makes me wonder what kind of altercation it was involved in to lose the wheels. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong on this info.

From what little I know, I would agree with Ray's assessment of the situation.
