Stubled across Rexanne on retrorides the other week and followed the trail here, I must say I really like the cozy feeling here, compared to a few other rotary forums...
I've been an FB owner for the last 7 years, it started with a silver S2 which I enjoyed for a summer before repairs started piling up and time and lack of workspace ground my RX7 riding to a halt. fast forward a to last summer when I decided to upgrade to a black S2 in better shape (sold the silver one to a friend, also with little time and workspace...) and drove it way to few times this summer before it started boiling on me when I was putting it into the garage for the winter.
So in 7 years I've driven my two S2 less that most of you do in a few weeks...
I've made and scrapped many cool plans for rebuilding the silver including a T2 sub frame and engine swap , symmetric 4-link rear axle from either a Volvo or a GM 8.8.
Porting and megasquirting the 12A, even putting a blow-through carb-turbo solution it with IC or why not supercharge it..
Reality bites and with a house in constant need of more repairs the plan for this year is basically new tires, fixing the radiator and helping my friend get the silver into a usable state so we can start enjoying our cars.
Two pictures from when I bought the black one (with my trustworthy friend as a camera man and a co-pilot)
And the spare-parts chassie
And a lousy shot of the silver it it's new resting place
