Just got the RX-2 running this afternoon with the half-bridge engine and then the front cover gasket decided to leak...really badly, so I changed it in the car. Once it was all good and no leaks, I took it out and now the "good used" clutch I put in it isn't holding up to the power the engine makes lol.

So here I am at 4am swapping out a Stage 1 pressure plate and new OEM disc, I'm probably going to change the exhaust a little bit to make it more...ummm...quieter? if thats even possible!

Ok, so its looking like we're going to be a tad bit late...hehe

RX-2 is now quiet and clutch grabs good, everything seems to be good!
I'm leaving to go to my parents place in Walkerton right now with it to drop off my dog, hopefully I'll get back in time to load up the truck and trailer and be outta here by 4-4:30pm.

I think I may have missplaced a few gas receipts. Since it appears to drive 6500km it cost me only $644.66.

I'm thinking I will attempt the florida keys next year and for sure going back to the DGRR!

Nice commitment! Way to fork over the dough to the oil tycoons. Glad you made it back safe in your modded rx-7. Some one now has truckers ***.

no passport required! Not yet anyways.

The funny thing is, you need one to get back into your country but I don't need one to enter it! lol

Yeah the Xceed DSM guy is a joke. Whatever.

I sent you a PM.

I would do it again!

I was actually sitting on one of those form fitting pillows that is like $80+tax CDN all the way there and back. It was nice!!!


( reason I removed to much padding on the seat to be able to fit with a helmet in the car!)

I did the 15 hour drive (back from DGRR) with 3 short stops for fuel only. My comfort wasn't a problem ,however my wifes was of paramount concern. To this "end" I gave her a temperform cushion, taken from my sailplane. To my relief there were no complaints,and she agreed we can do longer trips in the FC.
