Niagara Meet SEPTEMBER 16TH 2007 @ 2pm

Alrite, I am going to set it for this Sunday be NEO can't make Saturday and we have to accomadate "The One". (It wouldn't be a RX-7 meet if the Red car don't tap anyone's car). It would probably be also a good time to catch the leafs change color.

Lets say we meet around 2pm at Tim Horton's in Stoney Creek and depart around 3pm.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...wloc=addr&om=1

If you need directions to this Tim Hortons, open up the Google Map and click on "To Here".

The route will be handed out at Timmy's.
Thanks Francis and Mike for setting up the route.

JRP had them in stock when I was looking and their price was competitive when the 7club discount was factored in. Assuming you are looking for 12 x 1.5.

Can someone please send me a map of the route? I'll have to head back to St Kitts Sunday anyway and I just want to see the route that's planned out to figure out how long I can stick with the cruise
You can email me at barndirt@hotmail.com

Looks like the weather remained beautiful! I wish I could've gone, but the FC is currently in about 500 pieces in the driveway
How'd the drive go? I passed by the Timmy's at Mud and 20 around 12:45 and there were about 30 crotch rockets gathering. Seems like someone had the same kind of idea for the day

Cruise went well. A good RX7 cruise is one where no one or their car gets hurt, no speeding tickets, and no breakdowns. That would mean it has been our best meet yet.

Someone post pics up.

Yup, no crashes, no injuries... By about 6 inches...

This is my left rear tire. The dirt is from the left shoulder... At 130 kph...

Feds always tends to hang out the car further than it was originally designed for...

Advantagedent,
I like that murial of Holly. The car is looking good. And from what I hear, running a bit rich...

Jahoo,
The pics depend on RavenBC. It was his camera I was using. It might take awhile before he can upload a few pics.

Poor Performance

Hey Guys, about a year ago i bought an '82 rx7 with a 12A in it and ive had no complaints until now. When i "give her" from a standstill the car is great and runs strong, but it seems like right after i give it hard it starts stuttering when i get to 4th and 5th gear.Then i have to pull over and let it sit for a while and then its usually fine.Also, sometimes when i just drive normal on the highway and im in 5th, the car will start acting up again and studder.Someone told me it might be the carb and how it setup and its either running to rich or too lean.I dont have much experience with rotary or carbs so im stumped. The engine does have some Km's on it and a rebuild would help greatly. Anyone have any ideas???

One last note, I live in the niagara region in ontario canada and i was just wondering if you guys might know where i can get a new 12A motor or rebuild mine by someone who knows what they are doing?Thanks a bunch....Cheers!!!
