cool pics cant wait for another meet

 

you gonna send me the vid you took?

 

I've got 820 miles on the rebuild so far! Car is running great. The 4k rpm limit is killing me though About one more week and I'll have the break in all done.

Jason - Stopped and talked w/ Scott about your FD, he's got the fender fixed and rolled, no more dents in the hood, from bumper is primered, and half the body is sanded. He noticed that your driver side headlight is rubbing on the bumper when it flips up and down. He needs some advice on how to adjust the headlight/cover left and right. He's also wondering the easiest way to take the taillights out so he can buff them while the paint is drying. He's got some extra paint for the J-Spec bumper and spoiler.
For some reason the Optima has been running dead on him. He said the battery will not take a charge. He said nothing is staying on. All doors shut fine. Any idea what to could be draining the battery? He hasn't started the car yet.....he's scared of breaking anything, hehe. Would it be best if started it and let it run for awhile?

 

could be the notorius glove box light (stays on sometimes and has a recall) i've never had a problem with her before so i'd have to take a look.

As for the front light..... As you can tell that is not the original cover. That will prolly require bending and fitting to make it fit the way it is suppose to. Don't be afraid to do some tweak'n of that light. Not sure what happened with that from the previous owner.

The tail light are easy to take out. If you don't know how you can break the tabs easily (I did on one).

you take the black plastic piece from in the trunk out. Then remove the screws from inside the trunk.

Now this is the part that got me. You have to SLIDE the tail lights away from the fenders. They do not come straight back.

 

K, I'll let Scott know tomorrow.

 

Well I managed to snap some pictures of my TII this evening. Rebuild is in and running good (1,5xx miles so far). Still need Jason to play with the idle, other than that my mods are listed below.

nice looks great cant wait to see the new paint

 

christ, thats way nicer looking than my tii.

 

Yeah, I try to keep it as clean as possible. The only reason I'm getting it painted is because when I purchased the car it was t-boned on the drivers side. So I've done some body work to it. I've attached a picture of what the car looked like after the t-bone.

 

hey everyone. another Iowegian on the board. I dont currently have an RX7 but im looking for a turbo 2nd gen cus i miss my 10ae hardcore.

 

hey guys we got a midnight race coming up in about two weeks wondering if i can get any help kicking the crap out of some mustangs and cameros its july 1st starts at 11 and goes to 4 in the morning if any one is interested let me know i can meet up with you or give you directions

 

I'm gonna be there. My friend's bringing his supra. This other guy on supraforums is bringing his MK4.

 

Is this on the july 4th weekend?

u still plan on coming up on sat steve? I'm gonna try to get sat off....... If nothing else i'll have 4pm on ward off.

 

Are you talking about the races at Eddyville on the 24? I will be there with all my friends. Its a pretty good time there.

Hey J if you have the time I could use some more help man.

 

i was on AT for two weeks.

call me this week.

I've been really busy like usual

 

im talking about the midnight races at cordova ill. its on the 1st of july if any one is interested let me know

 

I sold my TII and will depart with it once I get my FD back.

With that said I'll miss her but the FD has taken the spot light as far as projects go (aka money).

Now i'm looking for a practial car for winter and a FC chasis that is with out rust.

I think i've decided to do a full race preped FC.

First thing i'll do to it is gut it and repaint it so paint/interior/engine doesn't matter. Just no rust on chasis.

I still have my short shifter/steering wheel/rad/sparco seat- so i have the important stuff

 

drift87fc, are you the guy with the black tii that was at the last midnight mayhem?

 

yup i broke it that night so i traded for a 87 na if you know anyone who has a tii body they are looking to get rid of for cheap id like to buy one

and still going friday night if anyone is interested

jason you still goin friday let me know when you want to meet up ha ha

 

i hope i get my FD back then.

just bought some 99 spec rims for it........... saucy

 

Instead of an FC, I happen to know of a guy selling an 85 FB with a roll cage already installed in it. 250 bucks. From what I hear, it is totally stock and I am not sure which engine it has in it. If you are interested send me an IM or PM.

 

any takers for friday cause all my friends are being gay so they dont want to go up cause there afraid of the muscle cars so ill pretty much be rolling up by myself

hey jason did you ever talk to casey about him letting you use his car if he doesnt just bring the fc up there cause i dont think shea will go plus a couple runs wont hurt that thing

 

hey j i might have found you a car its right down by where i live he wants 500 bucks for it i think the motor is blown i was goin to check it out see if it had rust ill let you know when i look at it
