What have you...different from last year.
 
I just had this thread idea. Not sure if its been done before though.
Anyway, basically its about :

What have you done to your car since last DGRR ('07), modifications, upgrades, etc.??
Or if your bringing a different car than what you brought last year. What is it?


Im bringing my '89 RX7 GTU (the one I brought before). Changes since last year, tune-up, replaced drive-shaft (w/what might be a TII drive-shaft), 4-piston front brake caliper swap, emissions removal, non-blown (working) speakers, (comming this weekend, if all goes well) window tint, (and sometime within the next few months) R-tec ECU upgrade.

I thinking of doing a engine swap with my project engine, but might not do it before DGRR '08.

Im taking my 76 Suzuki RE5 in the back of Charles' REPU, definetly a Kodak moment.

Last year, bone stock red 90 Miata because my 7 wasn't finished.
This year, bringing my 85 RX-7 GSL-SE with a S4 TII swap.

Bringing ITA RX-7 again. There is a small chance I will have the EProd RX-7 done. But not sure yet.

With any luck a lady friend that doesn't get car sick, my son with his 89, if I can keep him out of trouble and my vert with a replaced transmission I fried at last years meet...

07' I had the 90' black GXL with black Rims. That one has been sold.
I am getting ready to pick up an 87' Silver TII. Mods will probably be in the
lines of suspension maybe exhaust and some other little mods. I will
wait until next winter to do anything motor and ecu. I don't want to
have the car down for the 08' rally and possibly some track days though
out the year. Picking here up this week :fingersx: :)

85rx-7gsl-se 11-25-07 01:03 PM

^ My paint will most likely still suck, but my car will fly :)

mazdaworks 11-25-07 02:22 PM

paint and body work

PureMdMa 11-26-07 10:04 AM

07 Had to bring my STi due to 7 not being done.
Since 05 was the last and only time my 7 made it, I am bound and determined to get it there in 08. Here is what will be different from 05:

Fresh Ported Engine, 99+ front bumper with all accessories, Dual oil coolers, PWR Radiator, Blitz FMIC, Knight Sports Turbos, 1300cc secondaries, Feed Carbon Sides, RE Rear Diffuser, other random bits & new audio stuff.

Terrh 11-28-07 01:58 PM

umm, well this time, I'll be showing up!

I don't think I'll be in anything rotary powered, I'll probably be in my 1992 skyline gt-r.

Herblenny 11-28-07 02:38 PM

Good to hear you guys are getting your car ready for this event!!

I just got the word that my RX-2 is running and is ready to be picked up!!

Also, to remind some of you.. I would go ahead and sign up early as the rooms are being filled up and registration fee is at the lowest.. Starting Jan 1st, it will go up $10/person.

Don't get me wrong, I want all of you to wait so I could pocket extra $10... but I rather people sign up early..

More info about the event, videos of the event, pics, etc... goto:
www.DealsGapRotaryRally.com

Also, please help spread the word!! I want next year to be the BIGGEST, Baddest, rotary gathering in US of A!

85rx-7gsl-se 11-29-07 10:13 PM

Well, it looks like I'll have a rebuilt motor since my rear rotor is down to 70 psi :(
Plan on going streetport with a BNR Stage 1 :)

What happened?? I just saw your car not too long ago?

85rx-7gsl-se 12-01-07 05:50 PM

^Used Osaka JDM motor and 14psi....I guess I had to know it wouldn't last too long. Been getting harder and harder to start so I decided to do a compression check and my fears were confirmed:
95-Front
70-Rear
I can't imagine how fast it will be with a streetport and the Stage 1 BNR....Just need to sell my gixxer to get the cash for the build. Going to have Charles do the rebuild.

Herblenny 12-01-07 09:18 PM

Dang... Sorry to hear that..

darthrotary 12-02-07 10:24 AM

New Paint, new front bumber Imsa style, sway bar upgrades, E-fan RB intake and streetport holley carb ;)
Hopefully, all interior will match- half burgundy- going black lol
Going for Best in show- as long as DJ doesnt show up LMAO!

diabolical1 12-03-07 05:01 AM

would love to drive an Rx-7 to it this year because after making it last year, i'm officially hooked (but i did miss driving my 7). however, unless i win the lottery (or have some other form of unrealistically good luck), i'll probably be driving the Rx-8 again. my plan is to have a full tuneup, exhaust, brakes and possibly a flywheel by then. i guess we'll see ... :(

darthrotary 12-26-07 03:11 PM

The bumper! and rest of body kit will be done soon!
