That car does look familiar. I think you might be right.

The count:

1 FB Mike
1 FC Jeremy
2 FEs Tommy, Holly
1 NB (I think) Cam, Erica

Taco Hack was good, came across with the appetizers.

Not bad for a rainy night in GA.

No pictures, Ray. But it did happen.

Cam bought a Nash?

Very cool. My dad had one of those back in the '60's, same turquoise color that Cam likes:

I think what Ray means to say is FCs are less than perty.

Actually Mike, I think the Nash did have a rotary option. An 8A or 8B, early one rotor with 6 mm apex seals, as I recall.

And agreed, it would fit right in with this year's Tokyo show. Did you see that one with the bouncy pads?

Tim I'm not saying FC's ain't perty.

FC's are not as perty as a Nash Metropolitan, that's for sure.

Only a 1st gen is pertier than a Nash.

But FC's do have their charm. Perty in a way, as you say.

Made pertier with turquoise wheels and trim parts like Cam's got.

There is a clean looking FB in Gainesville on Craigslist: 85 Mazda rx7



If it looks as good as the pictures was posted 2 weeks earlier, it would be in my garage...

That is a nice looking FB Brett, a little too gray for my taste but looks to be in very good condition.

Mike, you are doing a wonderful job, don't listen to Brett.

And now that you've got Jeremy's FD straightened out, can you tell us what Cam and Erica's NA is?

All you need to keep in mind is that its a first Gen (Miata lol) without a 12a.

Yep, worth a 12A for sure. Worth 2.5 12A's if it actually had a 12A in it.

Ray you'll be glad to know I removed one of the Ford coils and replaced it with an FC coil in
my ignition. Now I have trailing and will need some corks for the unused dizzy connectors.

Dang, you are sitting on some pretty fine equipment there Kevin. Does the SA still have the 4 speed, like Andy's does?

Hope it stays in the OGTA family.

Tim, pm me your shipping address, I'll get the corks in the mail. They make the dizzy, in my opinion.

I'm still having trouble figuring out how you power your trailing ignition however. Got a better pic?

Ray, no its a factory 5 speed, the gs's like this one came with them.
The only reason I'm selling it is because of school I can't work as much, therefore I just need the money for bills.

Heads up for those looking for 15" wheels. He says they are for a 1st gen but they look weird to me.
