Question Any Rotorheads at U of I?

Wondering if there are any rotorheads at U of I (Univ. of IL), in Urbana/Champaign, IL. I'm here for another month, and figured I'd love to meet some local rotorheads if there are any. I saw a light green/teal? FB the other day near the mall IIRC, but that's pretty much the only rotary I've seen since I got here a month or so ago.

+1. I dropped off my Silverstone '93 FD at A-Spec Monday morning (sorry for the unexpected drop-off, Sean). I talked to Steve there, who was very cool, and he showed me around. If you love FDs like I do, you'll enjoy the visit. By my count, there had to be approximately 10 there.

Ramy,

You should come up one weekend for one of the local meets. I'm sure we can find a place for you to crash and whatnot.

That wasn't you, was it? I couldn't stop by because I was on the road when I saw the FB...we were headed in the opposite direction.

Marco and vel525, I didn't bring my car w/ me (too far a drive from VA...like 13 hours lol). I flew in to Chicago O'Hare, came down to Urbana w/ friends, so I'm not exactly mobile That's why I was wondering if there was anyone here locally. But I was originally planning to meet up w/ Christian (Railgun69) and Brandon (oorx7) before I leave, so I'm thinking since I'm flying out of O'Hare on the way back anyway, I might spend a day or two up in Chicago before I leave...prob the first few days of April.

Well, I'm sure someone will be willing to give you a ride to and from the meet, etc. so you can meet some of the local guys. Oh, you're from VA. Near DC? I may be moving down near DC in the fall.

Yo!

I saw this thread but didn't know what your plans were. Yeah...get up here. And bring me some parts...like a fuel tank.

My weekends are open at this point so whenever. When exactly are you leaving as we have that thing at the end/beginning of March/April.

I'm pretty sure Ramy knows I'm busting his ***** right now, and it has nothing to do with RX7's

Besides I have no friends.

Yeah, there are not too many RX-7's around here. I have recently seen a red S5 Turbo II on campus (a few weeks back).

Cool...sounds like a plan. As of now, my schedule's still kinda up in the air, but I'm PLANNING (haha) for the first or second of April...but I may be running over to TX afterward, so I might stop by on the way back if you guys are having a meet afterward

Cool cool. I just don't wanna inconvenience anyone tho

Oh, you're from VA. Near DC? I may be moving down near DC in the fall.
Yep...I'm in Northern VA, about 20 miles from DC. If you're movin out my way, def. drop me a PM.

LOL...I'm lookin man. Apparently everyone needs theirs haha. Were you interested in used only, or possibly new too?

I'm crazy tight on time right now, so comin up to Chicago earlier than April is pretty much a no-go. I'm not sure exactly when I'm leaving, but the plan is the very beginning of April, give or take a few days (maybe up to the first week of April). But I may be back a few days afterward...on the way back from Texas, so who knows

Sure...if you wanna wait that long

So...what do your guys' schedules look like from say, the 24th to the 28th of this month? I *should* be done on the 23rd, and was thinking of just coming up to Chicago, grabbing a hotel, and spending a few nights before flying back home. Lemme know what you guys think (good or bad timing etc).

My fiancee is coming into town on the 25th. I'd be up for meeting up for some food one night or something, but won't have a ton of time to hang out.
