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.
New FD in the area

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.

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