Hey again



Ok basically I'm looking for someone in Maryland that is willing to take a 93 Rx-7 for a test drive and a once-over for me. I know this is basically like inviting people to go look at a car I'm interested in and potentially buy it instead of me getting it but i would hope that people would honor my intention of getting a fair and good review of a vehicle outside of my reach for a test drive and good looking over.



Basically the only thing I would ask for is that you meet this guy somewhere talk to him about the car and find out some information about me, I can provide all the questions unless you're experienced in FD buying . Then, as long as he agrees, you take it for a test drive so you can report back to me on clutch condition, boosting pattern/feel, and such things as that. Of course if you can even bring a compression tester with you to test compression i might throw you a dollar .



If anyone is interested in assisting me and not buying an FD please either reply here or PM me as the guy is moving all the way to washington quite soon....oh and if the guy selling it is on this board, this is what i mentioned in the e-mail about finding someone i can talk to who can give me a neutral point of view on the vehicle.



thanks guys,

let me know,

kevin.



oh and if anyone in NJ feels like driving me up there that would be very nice of them, i just dont think i'd make it to MD myself



thanks again,

kevin

yeah MD is nowhere to be spending your time. I'm moving to hawaii. I've been here 20 years and i still don't understand how it can to 110 in the summer and like 10 in the winter.

djgiantrobot, I'm guessing somewhere around baltimore because he mentions the only time he has driven it (has like 71,000 he bought it with 70,000) is from SC home (he bought it in SC) and then a few times to baltimore. I'll inquire more but if you're willing to help me that'd be great.



vosko: oh great i'm following in vosko's steps *wishes for mercy upon his transmissions*



lol, I know i can drive there but i was getting bored as hell just goin to burlington yesterday and that was while racing at 100+mph the whole way down, so you could imagine me sleeping on a trip to MD , plus i got school and dont want to drive up on a weekend.
