I finally got my TII rebuilt and broke in. I'd like to get together for a fall meet.

I'm in VA so I won't be able to attend.

I think we should have a spring and fall at the minimum.

I was there.....

to tell the truth I KNOW the rx-7 can bring the trophy home for imports if it was like this years.

I'd like to see a rx7 give the domestics a good run for their money.

I haven't ran my TII in the 1/4 mile yet. I'm anxious to see how well it performs.

Do you need a valid drivers license to run on the drag strip?

They don't check if its valid or not. The last mm had a few imports running 116mph and then a galant at 130mph. It's probably a 3-4 hour drive for you Syonyk.

You know. It always happens when trying to show off. I revved it and it popped like it backfired but it was no simple backfire. It's been down for a little over 2 months now. I might be able to start if my brother finishes with his FB this weekend. I'm rebuilding it myself so it shouldn't be down for long once i get started.

Maybe 7k. Maybe. it wasn't redline though and not very long either. It has about 66000 on it. We'll see when i get the motor out and taken apart. RA's was what i was looking to get. I have read good things about them.

Well, I think we talked to the winner of the import shoot out that night (the supra guy), when I bought that white car. He did a 13.XX from what I remember.

If it involves drifting then Aaron was prolly there. I know he went to a few drift events. Or was this not a drift event?

Eric has my FD now so if anyone wants to take a look it's at his house. He's gonna drive it out to VA in a couple weeks. If anyone has some free time to kill you could drive it for a while..... LOL

I wasn't at Formula D but my brother and cousin were. Pretty sweet from what I've heard/seen. You guys should think about coming to some of the local drift events held in Sheridan, Illinois. It's held at a local go-kart track and is put on by www.clubfr.net It's a blast. $100 entry fee.....get to run all day long (8-5) I think the next event is sometime in early September. I'll have my Tein SuperDrifts by then so I'll be running for sure.

that supra guy is my roommate. he should be in the 12s in sept. He bought 550s and a lexus afm so he won't hit fuel cut anymore.

Anyone want to buy some S4 na or tii parts or even my 86 na? I also have parts from a 92 protege dx and a parts car.
