Had a great time tonight and met a bunch of cool people. Just added Holly on facebook so whoever wants to add me tonight, feel free!

 

I wonder if Holly has one of these?

 

lol I have no clue what I want anymore. I rode in a guys FD last weekend and I wasn't really impressed... So that has changed my whole mind set about my 'dream car'. I think I'm going to look at and drive a nicer FD in the next few months. If I can't justify the 15-20K price tag for the bang, I'll be getting another FC, but a turbo one... But I'll need to either keep the BMW or get a truck/jeep as the rotary support vehicle before then. That's the plan for now.

Sally is sitting in the basement, tucked away in a corner with a flat tire.



I finally got it registered in my name, so it's sitting there legal and insured, but that's about all I've done since moving. It blew 2 freeze plugs so I'm thinking there is an issue with the cooling system getting over pressurized. That or it's just rusty as hell inside the block. I'm going to pull the valve covers and check the head bolts, possibly put some aluminum flakes in the coolant and see how it holds up then. But I've been so busy getting the house in order that I haven't had much attention to give to the cars besides regular maintenance. We just built a 250 ft fence for the dogs, the wife keeps finding furniture to buy/pick up/refinish, I'm half way through with a 16' workbench in the garage. I got a nice 4 drawer file cabinet that I haven't finished organizing, there are folders and papers all over my office... It might not sound like a lot but it's keeping me busy as hell. Fun fun!

 

Ray notice anything different about my signature?

 

Your Nikki needs to go on a diet?

 

Is that the best you got? Come on after all these years of teasing me about
the Del Horto and now I have a modified nikki in my car.

I must say the nikki makes the car fun again because its so different than the Del Horto.

 

You are learning the Way of the Wankel grasshopper.

Italian carbs are meant for Fiats, not rotaries.

The Mighty Wankel must purr with happiness, but must also roar with excitement.

Felix knew that four barrels are needed to harmonize the apex seals.

Which is why he moved his operation to Japan.

Zoom Zoom.

I bet it still has that new carb scent...

 

Ray, check out the replacement carb for my portable generator

 

Greg Ol' Buddy! You catching a bit of that Alzheimer's or what?

I don't see any picture of a Nikki on a power generator.

 

OK the pic is there now Greg, nice work!

Yes sir, those Nikki's sure are pretty.

Put that on a 12A and you're talking 30 mpg.

 

+ 1. I would really like to know how they compare.

 

Check out this beaut that popped up on the RX-7 Facebook page. Guy says he did the car ~15 years ago.

 

Wow!

 

Or should I say

 

A little cleansing for our eyes...

And he still can't sell it! Gawd its ugly. Looks like a Celica. Why doesn't he just get a
yota if thats what he wanted.

 

You guys have got good taste.

That Celica is down right ugly.

This one, on the other hand, has potential.

 

^saw that thru craigslist. the asking price was like 16k.

 

I should get the green one and restore it to its former beauty. How much was it?

Edit: Still doesn't beat the Hall county habitat for humanity that wont sell me this ragged out non running FB for less than 1500.

 

I found more pictures of that gray FB on eBay: Mazda RX 7 Savannah GT X | eBay

 

No clue if it was for sale or not.

If you're looking for a cheap FB, there are 2 right down the street from me. One has been sitting under some trees forever, the other is on craigslist for $700: 1983 Mazda RX7

 

Wow, tying down the rear of the car like that. So he must have paid $200 for the car and selling it immediately for a little profit.
