Not to centre anyone out or anything, but it amazes me how many people are posting now about the meet being "this weekend" and how they cant make it "because they have other plans" (Aaron being the exception. He just doesnt like us or something )

I mean, the meet has been scheduled for this weekend how far in advance?
If you have conflicting plans, chances are you made them with the knowledge that the meet was this weekend.

So none of you have any excuses!
You've all had plenty of time to get the car running (unless you were building it from the ground up) and move your schedule around so that you are taking the girlfriend to a movie another time, or painting the house next weekend etc.

If Neo can show up in his FD in the rain, then NOTHING should stop the rest of you from making an appearance!

Will and the other Ottawa crew work hard to plan a meet for us, so unless you have a wedding (and it better be your own) to attend, you better show up dammit!!!

I mean, we're going to Pig Ales, what more do you want?

Peace out hommie g's

The ironic thing is that my next engine will be painted pink. It's project FluffyBunny. The house is a whole 'nother level entirely. Needs a news evestrough, total repaint on all the trim, repaint on the portch, driveway sealing, new bathroom floor. Sigh, too much to do an too little time. I've been ignoring life, my family (I have a feeling it was my brother's birthday at some point, and didn't mother's day just happen?!?), my friends and basically everything else for the last month or so to get the car on the road. It's very exciting. Every day it's closer and closer after 3.5 years...

I'm seriously going to miss that Quebec cruise. It's what I most look forward to every year. What's going to even be more amazing is actually seeing your FD exposed to oxygen for an entire weekend!

I've actually been wavering the entire time the thread was stickied as to what I would do...With no Revolution this year and fewer and fewer meets happening (why is that anyway?) it really sucks to give up the Ottawa Meet. But what's the fun of an RX-7 meet if it means that my RX-7 is stuck in the garage on ramps?

I'm guilty if driving my FD in the rain last week-end (had to drive it to the garage) and also guilty of still being able to manage some pulls and fun

So, wether it rains or not, I'll be there! With most of the Québec guys I'm sure!

We'll miss ya Aaron.

Well Bell has blatently refused to give me the weekend off so I'm definitely calling in an "Emergency Day" on Saturday.

I'm debating Sunday... As fun as the cruise is, if I don't work Sunday I not only lose that day's wage, but I don't get paid time-and-a-half for working monday either. I need the cash... and besides, my car sounds like a thousand homeless people banging on tin cans anyway right now, until I can get the exhaust done.

Car runs great and I wouldn't miss the meet for the world, lots of stuff to show off.. but long story short is that I had a set of headers I thought were the same length as the RB ones (and would bolt to my cat until I got a presilencer) but when the muffler shop put them in, they were too long. So they took my cat out and straight piped it without calling me to ask what I wanted.

So I ended up paying double to have a straight pipe to my stock muffler. It sounds like crap.

Jon

Seriously though... Canoe's forcast is more promising than The Weather Network's, but the trend seems to be less rain every day.

Here's the directions to the Kanata Recreational Complex/Ron Maslin Theatre in case anyone missed it:

Take the 417 West and exit at TERRYFOX DRIVE (this is one exit BEFORE the original palladium exit to Corel). Turn LEFT on TERRYFOX.
TURN RIGHT at the 4th lights at the CITY OF KANATA RECREATIONAL COMPLEX (big sign) across from Esso/Eastside Marios.
Take the 1st LEFT on RON MASLIN RD... go to the lot at the end of the road.
