New member l, not new to rotaries

Post by Speed7 »

Greetings from San Diego, California! I found this group by accident figured it doesn’t hurt to snoop around to get more information. Past rx’s Include 85 Rx7 GSL, 85 GSL-SE, 93 R1, and an 84 GSL-SE.

Currently I own two R3’s one for the track and another for weekends. Daily drive an estate car which we don’t have many of.

I’d post pics but can’t seem to see the button on my phone.

Hi and :welcome: Speed7. :D San Diego - very nice place, I went and stayed there for a few days once on one of my US bowling trips a few years back (and our hotel was in La Jolla Dave 8) ). Anyway, nose around all you want, hopefully you'll find something useful and/or interesting. :thumright:

This is a small world indeed; I own a house in the Del Mar district.

They are the Enkei Racing RPF1's. I run a 17x9 square setup offset of 45mm. Tires are a 255/40 and I prefer the NITTO NT01 tires. In that picture I had on Hankook Ventus TD tires. Got them for cheap and was able to do 2 weekends on them.. hopefully a 3rd coming up.
