1 REPU = 2 12A's (Crit)

1 RX-2 = 2 12A's (Jeremy)

2 SA's = 3 12A's (Cory, Andy the Elder)

9 FB's = 9 12A's (Gene, Geraldo, Juno/Ben, Chris, Mike, Greg the Elder, Kevin the Elder, Kevin the Younger, Ray)

6 FC's = 3 12A's (Andy the Younger, Luke, Holly, Collin, Brett, Alan)

Hey Ray! Always enjoy seeing pics (and movies) of the gathering. Great that this Club keeps getting together on a regular basis. Good looking mix of SA, FB and FC's. Wish I could attend.

How I wish we had something like this in my area. I see about 20 different RX-7's driving around every now and then but I don't think anyone knows each other

Wow and not one of us from NC helped with that record attendance.

Looks like we need to get our attendance up again in NC, we are definitely feeling the challenge Ray.

We felt your virtual presence Tim, a ride down would have gotten us to 20.5 12A's, an impressive number indeed. Save it for the lake house (you got any more of that home brew?)



PS, we totally respect the XRoads folks and would never overtake their post count.

Crit just got a REPU, I'll see if he would be willing to swap. Be nice to break a case of that stuff open at the lakehouse.

Michael preproduction means it was made before they produced it. Doesn't make sense to me but that's what Holly said.

It's basically a press car, number 100006 with 17k miles. It's got GSL-SE distributor and coils, S4 NA drivetrain for all we can tell, and TII brakes and hood (for the sake of making magazine covers).

It's got 17k miles, and the occasional oddity. It's got a blacked-out vinyl applique at the trailing edge of the b-pillar, almost like what you see on Dodge Rams that hides the B-Pillar so it looks like glass. It basically makes the rear glass look bigger from a distance. It's also got tail-light illumination bulbs in the bumper skin rather than in the S4.

I wonder if it's got an N304 ECU from a GSL-SE so it's fuel-only, as there's no CAS or FC coils. I've also wondered if it's got S4 irons and housings, or if they're GSL-SE, but there's no way to know without taking it apart. I thought it was kinda funny that it's got a molded coolant overflow bottle that accepts the little coil wire support for the SE coils, which I don't remember seeing on regular FCs. If so, that's one very rare part!

Holly, you got more details on the car?

Wow Ray, so far I've heard that "it keeps getting bigger and bigger" and now you say that you are "upstanding". Impressive!

Can't see the pics right now, but I'll take a look later on another system. Your math kinda threw me at first, but then I figured it out.

Oh, and there was no '86 280Z, so I'll assume you meant '76.

Wish I lived close enough to "hang" with you guys, although I might be a little intimidated by Ray's legendary "member". lol.
