Not that I need any new reason to come hang out, but what is new on the car now Jaymez? Last upgrade I seen was the IC. I might make it down there. What car show is it?

Sounds like it might be a good opportunity to showcase the best examples of each generation of RX7 in our collection and then some.

Let's see.... representing 3rd gens: Sean's, Hugh's and Ed's cars. For 2nd gens (there are too many to list) we have Max's monster, several "rare" 10th AEs and Graham's and Chris' cars. And for 1st gens (there are so few of these in decent condition) we have Karla's stock '85 GSL and Gary's super-charged '85 GSL-SE.

Best to avoid rust buckets at all costs. From the above we should be able to scare up at least one decent non-riced car from each generation, with a couple of extras for good measure. My '85 needs a paint job so it doesn't qualify.

Of course you should. I didn't mention it because I figured yours was a given since you've already posted on this thread.

Definitely. This we all have to see. The Datsun 1200-series with a rotary conversion is the automotive equivalent of an AK-47---- Small, but still not wise to be on the wrong side of it.

if it's alright you guys might need to give me some tips, this is my first car show....

worst thing is, it's a decently log gravel parking lot with loads of dust, and i'm assuming were parking in the lot....

Here's a tip for everybody:

Since this event is taking place at Race City, BRING MOSQUITO REPELLANT. Really. They'll eat you alive and cause you to miss the show if you don't.
