well that i cant tell you, ive never gotten the chance to really take one out for a spin, but i will say this, ive done some maintenance on one, its basically a r35 without the crazy engine, similar awd drivetrain configuration, you can really feel it pull, kinda reminded me of my FD a little, has that sucking back feeling

Well, the other issue is how much would it cost to fix the electrical stuff and other unknowns in a chassis I know that is beat. I'll have to ask speed1 how much RnR is and figure out how much I can sell my chassis for.

I think Mazda took the rotary out of the line up so they can put it back up in the future.

Big thanks to Ray from TNC,

He helped fix my car on the side of the road 11 minutes away from Rotor Fest.

Its not a rotary event until someones car breaks down, it just happened to be the newest car there with the least amount of miles

semi hard launch from a stop sign, all of a sudden car bogs like its nobodies business, wont go anymore and i let off the gas... idle dips SO FAST, straight to 0. I pull off to the side of the road, try to start it and it turns over and then dies in 5 seconds.

Spark plug wires came loose on coils #1 and #4 (fixed by pushing on them)(did coils plugs and wires the night before, only had 70 miles on them at the time)

MAF gasket was broken (fixed with electrical tape, and bored out the middle with a knife)

2nd screen in my CAI was turned 90 degrees (fixed by turning it back around)

Car now idles better than it did when i first bought the car, didnt have any problems coming home either. Just need to buy a stupid gasket now before i drive it again.

THANKS RAY!!!

yeah that was me, thanks for stopping

I have always loved FD's as well. You better get reading on rx7club if you plan on owning one. Ive been reading there for 2 or 3 years and have not scratched the surface.

talked to louie from Wankel Works and he suggested an aggressive street port for super light driving and occasional track duty. So i guess i dont need to do more research on that.

Also Rich from IRP told me about a track day september 29th, i think it was 200 bucks or something. Pretty good price i think. Ill be in school by then but i might try to make it out there.

Glad you were able to make it Eric!! Myself and 1st gen RX7 and two RX2 were heading out from Bridgewater and one of the guys (RX7) snapped his throttle cable 2 miles from my house!

Needless to say, my mountain bike got RAPPED from its brake & gear cables!
