Here's a few maps showing where the park and the pavillion are. Ellis Blvd is closed at Ellis Park, so you'll need to enter from the Edgewood Road side. The route I've drawn from 380 is the easiest way to explain how to get there. I know there are faster and shorter routes, but this is the easiest route to explain to people that don't know the area.

Wal-Mart is less than 10 minutes away from the park, so if anyone forgets anything it won't be hard to go get it. Beer will be allowed, but in nothing larger than a quart. Anything larger (can you say keg?) would require a permit.

Let me know if you have any questions.

April 17th, SCCA AutoX by Saylorville Lake (Des Moines area) if anyone's interested. Last rx7 I saw there was a white Turbo II that kept spinning out, though.

Nah, haven't been able to get my hands on a dilapidated 86 sport, then I bought a motorcycle and crashed my Accord instead.

So, now I'm fixing the car and looking for work.

I still go to the AutoX, though. Come out, I'll introduce you to a few friends. Crazy gearheads all. They all have much nicer cars than I do, though.

There will always be someone with a nicer car.

I might head out sometime to an event. I have drill on the one comming up.

Will you be able to come to the meet?

I'll have my FD there too. Although it is a workin progress (aren't they all).

Well, by nicer I mean STI's and EVO MR's. The Celicas don't count.

I'll try to make the CR meet if I'm welcome, even having never owned a rotary. Hopefully at least the Accord will be done by then. But it's close enough since I'm in Iowa City for school.

We'll Bricke that is when you are leaving. I dont think that we will meet on the road any where. I think that I may leave around 11. Just thought I would see when guys are leaving for the fact that we could go up in a group.

Hey Bricke you bringing the car?

I'll find one down there.

We can meet up in CR (just call me when ur close) prolly then head to QC.

not sure where in QC. Something easy to get to.......... ****'n FD is being a bastard..

the stock twins i swapped on were blasted also........... So i ordered a HKS cast manifold.....

damnit........ prolly put the car down pretty soon.... and pull the motor and do the jump to single.

Aaron needs to hook the FD up with paint........... let me know if that deal will work b/c i'll order the 99 spec parts.... and hold off on the turbo ****. You know u want that street port

Know of anyone in Iowa area with T2 engine/tranny/rear end? Found a black 87 sport at autoX today - gonna call on monday for price (should be around$600-800), but the shifter feels so loose that it's like it'll fall out, and the odometer's got 122k miles on it - engine doesn't look like it's been rebuilt or otherwise messed with.

shifter bushings are prolly blasted.

when i drove my TII back after i bought it my shifter came out of the tranny!

LOL.... i haven't seen one stock rx7 that didnt' have shifter slop.

steve used up my extra TII tranny

I have TII irons if you want to rebuild using the NA rotors/housings. That would save alot of money.

I always wanted to do that. Bit higher than FD's and have really quick spool.

What all did you get with that turbo kit? That sucks those turbos went bad on you so fast. We could meet at I 80 truck stop because its really easy to find, we could meet around noon or so if thats cool with you guys then we could head up together. Just let me know guys!
