Do I know you Paul?

 

yes, IIRC you stayed with me and DJ in the cabin last year... I was the one always riding, not driving... you had the red Rx8 who tried the donuts??

 

OMFG why can't anyone forget about that jezz. U mess up once in your life and your branded for life lol. I just bought new tires today, looks like I'm gonna have to prove myself this year haha.

 

hahaha... well i get made fun of because my car is pink.... well lightish red... you may see it this year if i get a motor in time

 

Hey man I was told by a friend that there was a S5 vert. at Gray's Foreign Auto in Lavergne with a motor, I dont know the condition of the car cause I havent seen it but the motor might still be good if the car has been servely wrecked. You should check it out. Hell if it isn't the hood may be something you could use.

 

already have an aluminum hood (GTUs) thanks tho, and as of now the plan is to get a motor from screwloose78 (shannon) this Sunday. keep fingers crossed...

 

UPDATE: motor picked up from Huntsville and currently prepping for re-install... swapping clutch and header from old motor.

 

motor runs, will try to pass emissions monday...

 

.

 

I'M GOING!!!! many thanks to many people, most recently DJ, Garfinkle, seth... passed emissions, lost my ACV, got new one installed today, running well enough to come... wish me luck....

oh and I believe DJ is taking bets on if I make it.... and how many turns through the Gap i make it before I overheat... but thats not going to happen because of my MONDO sized radiator

 

I MADE IT BACK!!! This is truly a milestone. My 7 ran incident free and with no F*ing coolant issues. To everyone that made it back congratulations. To those who had problems I feel your pain and hopefully it will only strengthen your rotary resolve like it has mine.

 

Congrats! Glad you made it back!

See you in Nashville....

 

Now you are back lets clean up my garage .Please

 

well thats good to hear paul, im glad that motor worked out for you and i hope ypu dont have any probs with it. if you need anything else just let me know.
