Hey y'all!

My names Marcus, I'm a New Zealander living in Australia and of last week I purchased my first rotary, a 1985 Mazda rx7 with a 12a. I've been a rotary fanatic for the last ten years and finally made the purchase and already planning the next one! Something turbo next maybe. Anyway, the rx7 is a beaut, she's in really good shape body wise and the motor seems to be healthy with a full exhaust and little modifications. One urgent mod is getting rid of the slush box for a manual. Probably just be using this forum as a knowledge base for all the many questions I'll no doubt be asking. If you're in Perth or just want to have a yarn about rotaries feel free tp say hello.

Cheers,

Marcus

Hi Marcus,

All stick shifts here except for just one or two autos that I can recall.


Welcome...... Codge

Key Hora cuz.

Hiya, welcome along. Pics would be nice, if you get a minute? We never really got auto 1st-gens in the UK. I wonder if there are some advantages to be had there; for example auto FD RX-7s had different (some say better) diff ratios, cruise control and climate control rather than a simple blower fan. Interesting to see if auto FBs had any plus features to suit the character of the car, too

The UK did get auto FBs. I personally removed the 12A from a series 1 auto. UK new.

Yeah, maybe I didn't phrase that as accurately as the pedantic in the audience might have liked . Perhaps "UK buyers were offered autos but most people had the good sense not to buy them" would have been better?

What's the plans for the s3??

Interested in the box setup if your selling on - let me know
