I noticed you changed mirrors.

Any plans for the RE Amemiya mirrors? Please PM me if you're interested in unloading them.

Thanks

phil, are you interested in a track day on April 5th?

Putnam Part, 10/10ths motorsports.

it's pretty far from you (about 5 hours from nashville), but you could travel/lodge with us and it should be a good time. also, it's a nice wide open track with no barriers, so you can push the car a little harder than you can at others tracks without wrecking

That's bit far and lack the time.. There is a track day at Barber on 12-13.. which I tough of, but I need to save my time with fam as DGRR is couple of weeks after.

There might be another TGPR day for $100-110 sometime in May. I'm done organizing one til the fall but friend of mine here will be.

I'll try to let Paul and you know when it happens.. However, you need to sign up quick.. Spots are limited (15) and many are interested. Should be good to have another FD.

DGRR, yes eventually. Probably won't make this one but should be on the road for the following one. I'm actually going to be heading to Saint Louis for a business convention on April 24-27 so timing would be trick even if I had a fd on the road to drive down.

Well I finally got a second to read through the article. The bit about rust is no joke. That's why I was never able to complete my REPU and ended up parting it out. The parts are non existent for a 1970's Mazda (Accept my NOS REPU horde stash I'm still sitting on ). So did you sell the car again Phil? she looks nice! I like the shaved bumpers. Nice touch,

Hey I know it's been a long time since you put on these center caps. Is there any way you may have these or have have another set for sale?
