the 14th and 15th of may are no good, graduations are that weekend so I think the 7th or the 21st of may would be ideal.... I would make it if we can get this together.... 3 weeks till the 7th and 5 till the 21st.... oh **** that won't work for some of you huh?... damn. but I couldn't get there on the 14th.

I'm from Texas, but in Omaha right now for about another year. Been here for 4 years now, and only seen 1 VR FD a couple of times in that period.
I'll keep an eye on the board and see what materializes for a date and place.

Hey Joe, good to hear from you. Where are you at with your car now. IIRC, didn't someone stick you with a bad rebuild or something. What are you needing? I'll keep my eyes open and help any way I can.

I heard that the Wednesday night thing has started up again out at 84th and Center. Why don't we just plan on getting out there early some night and take over a corner from the civic guys.

I know graduation is the 14/15th for the omaha area. Thats the only reason I'll be down infact.

Just remember Steve Kan is supposed to be coming out the 20 through the 22 of may. I like the idea of meeting on a wed. at flashbacks on 84.

Yeah bought an engine that "rxseven" who said he had it rebuilt but later found out he actually built himself. Not sure what he did wrong building it other than using hurley seals. Only got 900 miles on the thing before it went pop. Everything is laid out in troy's (rcclocks) garage right now ready to be built. Waiting for sunday so that we can have a machine shop mill one of the end plates so that it can take the proper O-ring. I plan to go over there Sunday night after work and get it built. I finally got my car towed back to my garage...though the tower cracked my bumper...well what was left of the bumper and fender after Gregg fell on it as he was moving **** out of his garage. So I'm gonna probably need some body work again Apreciate the offer though...once the engine is built might need some help getting it put back in and buttoned up.

I'd be down to meet up whenever though. I'll try to check the board here more often. Been lazy about it lately

Looks like we all want to meet up but no one knows where/when. Sorry skiles but i think that the 14th is gonna be the best day, looks like most of u guys will be around on the 14th so lets go for that day. Just let me know where, probably would be better in omaha somewhere, and somewhere where us out of town guys would know where to find it (that would help tremendously) Thats my thoughts on the whole thing let me know.

Ok the 14th is on a Saturday. I'll throw out a suggestion, how aobut we meet at Big Freds Pizza. Since that was the plan last time when nobody showed up. First let's agree on a place then we'll worry about the time. What's everyone think about Big Fred's?

For anyone not familiar with the area, take I-680 to Pacific St. exit and go west. Look for the sign, it'll be on your left.

But you all should know in advance, Jeff has been hired as my personal bodyguard and will take care of anyone laughing at the old guy.

20b or a Turbo 2, i would go with a 20b, but anyway. I seen a older rx7 awhile ago for sale but if i see anymore i will for sure let ya know. I just seen it in a Nickel Auto Magazine.

How old is ur little boy? Get him started young on the rotary life lol.

My boy is 18 months and loves cars. He always wants to work in the garage with dad. I have a 20b that I want to put in a s5 fc. I wanted the turbo 2 for the drivetrain but I have found a t2 drivetrain to swap out so now I just need a clean shell to work with

**** guys i just got a Graduation invitation for the 14th of May, it starts at 4pm and i have to drive 30 min. So for me to go to omaha and hang for awhile and then drive all the way there wouldn't be worth it. I have grad's the 14th 21st and then i leave to Minn. for vacation the 28th. So looks like i'm out unless something comes up like u guys schedule another day?
