Popular Post Stompz Posted July 21, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 First, I'll address the Cincinnati thing. I am from Cincinnati, but I went to OSU for my undergrad. I try to get up to CBus as often as possible, usually once every month or two. Recently I've been talking to some other 7 owners in Columbus and hanging out with them. They are on these forums, but I'm not aware what names they use on this forum and I don't want to call them out by RL name. Ideally I'd like to get up to cruise sometime and hang out with some of the CR guys. Unfortunately, Cincinnati doesn't have a very good import scene. Lots of little ricers and stuff like that. A friend of mine suggest CR as a more mature group of enthusiasts. On to the FD. I picked up this FD at the end of April. It is an 1993 FD R1. List of mods is pretty short, mainly a Racing Beat catback exhaust. It is primarily stock, which is what I wanted when getting an FD. I will be having one of your members rebuild the engine and port it in a few months, so the car will be in Columbus soon. I've been into FDs ever since I drove my buddies back in 2003. Anyway, I'm sure you aren't into reading books so here are some of the pics. Looking forward to meet up with some of you guys. Sorry for the small pictures, RX7Club albums have a size cap. Alright...go head...let the Doritos jokes fly lol http://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?albumid=4725&pictureid=37739 http://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?albumid=4725&pictureid=37742 http://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?albumid=4725&pictureid=38650 http://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?albumid=4725&pictureid=38652 http://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?albumid=4725&pictureid=38654 http://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?albumid=4725&pictureid=38655 http://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?albumid=4725&pictureid=38656 http://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?albumid=4725&pictureid=38657 And finally the twin red heads (mine is on the right): http://www.rx7club.com/picture.php?albumid=4725&pictureid=38663 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm Ron Burgundy? Welcome fellow RX-7 owner, take things lightly and you'll do fine. There's a good amount of FD owners here, I have an FB myself. PS; beautiful car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stompz Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Lol, stock R1 suspension. I didn't size up the wheels. The previous owner put those on. So yeah, I agree max 4X4! It looks like its flying next to the other slammed FD. I intend on getting a new set of wheels and some suspension, but that's a long way away. First up is getting this rotary back to a 'reliable' state. 100k miles and I don't know the last rebuild, so Im not taking any chances. @LS1 swap: I can't do it! To me, swapping the rotary out spits in the faces of hundreds of hard working Mazda engineers for tens of years. I appreciate they're hard work and would never swap despite the unreliability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well cared for ride. I like your realistic approach to the FD. And am glad to see someone else who appreciates the rotary. Uniqueness is hard to find, and to me, the FD is the perfect blend. Welcome to the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 If I am not mistaken I saw both of those cars parked in the food court parking lot at Polaris last Saturday? The one on the left was there for sure. Welcome +rep from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
