New FD in the area

Hey guys, I just recently moved here from Lincoln, NE. I was happy to see two other FDs at the Golden cruise this past weekend and was wondering if they were on here. They were cruising with an FC and I was hoping to talk to them but they took off before I could find them. A couple of first gen guys directed me over here.

I've been through all of the typical rx7 woes, in order: neighbor backed into it, coolant seals went, engine fire (totalled the first car, it got resurected as a v8 car by another person back home), massive vacuum issues from a ghetto non-sequential version by the previous owner of my second car, blown motor, and now tuning issues.

If anybody is interested in having a professional tune their car a good friend of mine who did the base map is willing to come out here and tune my car and a few others if I can get a few people interested. He mostly tunes big blocks and drag cars (and a few boneville salt flats cars) but has done a few rotaries and I was really pleased with his work and would love to have him come out and finish the tune that he started for me.

Anyways, nice to find a site with like minded individuals.

That could've been Eric (Speedjunkie) with Zico (FC) I know they went to that, but shoot welcome! Pics of FD?

Only one I've got of it with the Classics on it. This is from the day before I moved from Nebraska.

Welcome, glad you made it on here.

(I had the broke down FB, lol)

What was wrong with it? Get it working? I still dig thouse louvers.

You guys have a decent fab guy in the area? I need to re-route my intake piping and have a mid-pipe made. preferrably with all v-band connections.

Welcome! The FDs were me and Andy (lOOkatme), the FCs were Zico (carbonzeven I think is his screenname but he's never on here lol) and Bobby (I don't remember his screenname at the moment either lol), and Chris had the beige FB and Dan had the silver FB, but Dan lives up there in Denver. The rest of us live down here. And Ian was driving a black Camaro (newer one) and a couple bikes were with us too.

I go to a couple different places down here to get stuff fabbed. One is a race shop that doesn't often take outside jobs (mostly race cars), and the other is just a welding shop but he's quick and does great work. But you couldn't really take your whole car in to him. I have a welder and I'm planning on starting soon but I've never welded before, so I won't offer my services just yet lol. I want to get a lot of practice in first.

Fair enough, I would love to be able to switch over to a vmount if I could find somebody to do aluminum and make brackets and side plates for me. Not a fan of paying $1500 for something that I've already got the expensive bits for...

I happen to be a fabricator and weld aluminum all the time.

Welcome.

Did you happen to bring the fd? I didn't see any other rotaries while I was there

I did not, she's running rough right now, need to do a compression test (I don't think its off as I've got maybe 1k miles on the rebuild) but my coolant buzzer won't shut off and despite it being full I'm a little skeptical driving it too far at the moment.

It turned out to be a clogged fuel filter. Once we figured that our it starting right up and ran fine.

Oh, and I have a few people down here that need to be tuned, so we might need to work something out for that, whether we come up or pay for him to come down.

Sounds like you should come out with us sometime and let her rip on the roads with us. I am tuning a guys car down here. he has ran into some trouble shooting stuff but it should be done soon. We will get another guy out with us hopefully.

Kyle your car is running very well on the AEM. Will wait on dyno tuning until I get the new IC piping fabbed up and fit you an air filter. Car sounds good
