MX57 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi, My name is Abid, live in Whitby, Canada. Marine engineer in a previous life, 15 years worth. Now working at a nuclear plant. I have known about 7's for more than 25 years, but my job prevented me from doing anything about it. Now that I have settled for being on terra firma, I decided to start my build. It is currently in the procurement stage, using a RX7 engine and tranny and Miata diff and suspension parts. Hope to start on the chassis this spring.

Birkin42 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Nice to see another Canuck into sevens. Turns out we're not far from each other as I live just outside of Cambridge. Building your own chassis or starting with a kit of some sort?Birkin422007-02-21 14:09:50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinnyG Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I'm Greg. Just registered today. Highschool shop teacher, former auto mechanic. Too cheap to buy a real 7, too chicken to drive one. I finished my Locost in 2006. I'm planning out my next 7, to use "real" plans to more closely replicate an original. Goal in life: to be eccentric.

Storz Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hey all, newbie to the forums. I am a long time sports car nut and have always been intrigued with lightweight minimalist cars. I've had a few noteworthy cars from several Mk1 MR2s to a C4 Corvette and now a Subaru Impreza that I regularly rallycross. I honestly don't even remember when I first saw the 7, its just sort of always been there. I got my first taste of real car mechanics during college when my senior year I took an engine rebuilding class and rebuilt the 4AGE from my 87 MR2, that experience totally opened my eyes to both my ability and my desire for an all out performance car. I recently graduated from CMU (2004)with a degree in Geographic Information Sciences and currently work as a GIS Analyst. Getting married this summer and as of July 1st moving to the great state of NC. I plan to start my build within the next couple years. Seems like a great forum here and I'm sure I'll be lurking around getting ideas and information.Storz2007-04-11 18:38:37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyI Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hello, i've had bought my seven in 1990 its a 73ish(complicated). My father and I always wanted one but never could make the time to do it then in 90' found out he had cancer so went out and found one and we managed to enjoy it for two years. Either the two of us would go out or just mom and dad would disapear for most of the day. So aside from a fun car its good memories also. Now I get to take the wife or grand kid out(great bribery and more fun than a video game) If I ever get so I can't get in it I think it will make a nice coffe table http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
