Rolfs, fd probably won't be out again for awhile now that snow's fallen. I know a handful of srt4 guys up there though lol. Next spring I'll have her out again though. I've never seen any FCs around wabash or nm, y'all must be hiding out when I come through

I've not met with any rotary guys yet, but I'm frequently in the Dupont to Coliseum area. If you see and hear an obnoxiously loud red FC, flag me down. I'd love to chat. I can tell you what not to do to yours.

I could rebuild it for a fraction of a shops price, but of course without a warranty. (haven't had an engine failure to date.) That would include street porting, your choice of apex seals, UPGRADED coolant seals -no more blown coolant seal worry, something most shops don't offer.- and mint oil control ring carriers at a discount... they're running 330$ a set now a days so i stocked up a few years ago. if you don't believe me check Atkins rotarys prices... I recommend a new oil pump to anyone getting a rebuild because low oil pressure is the quickest way to wear out a perfectly fine engine, but that would be optional. obviously if any of the rotors or housings were damaged I would need to take some off my shelf which would cost extra, but far less than a shop would charge in most cases. if interested PM me.

Any of you guys going to be out next year? I'm finishing redoing the engine bay and wiring the ProEFI. Then it's just a touch up of the paint and a few other little details (mounting a tablet for tuning and bracing the rear some more).

Getting a tune this spring and it should be out and about. Hoping for ~800-850 RWHP on high boost.

I was cruising around before they put down all the salt and calcium. I have some small odds and ends to do before spring, but I'll definitely be out if nothing catastrophic happens. I'm aiming for a pinch over a quarter of your target rwhp, digitalsolo. haha!

Any of you are welcome to a "Gentleman's Breakfast" I go to every first Saturday of the month usually at or earlier than 8:00am somewhere in the Fort Wayne/Leo area. There's typically not more than 10 guys, so it's no herd. I've heard real life Rx7 and rotor guys exist in NE Indiana, but I've yet to meet one in person... you want bacon... come to breakfast...

Hatchet Jack, did you meet for your "Gentleman's Breakfast" last Saturday. I will be in the Fort this weekend. First time in a while. won't have my 88" FC vert but would love to talk rotary talk. I am new to rotary ownership and am thirsty for knowledge. Anywho, if you will be around it would be cool to meet up.

We did. We met up at the Grabill Inn and talked about gentlemanly things. I might be free tomorrow in the afternoon. You can pm me your number, and we can try to find time. My Mazda is entombed in a snow covered garage right now, so I'm in my rattle trap clown car.

Hatchet Jack, sorry I got your post late. I was in Ft. Wayne for an inlaw's birthday and ended up with limited time. I will be in again next month and I will look you up then. Thanks for the invite. We will meet up sometime.

Hatchet Jack, I'll be in the Ft. next weekend and for a few days. Maybe we can meet up then. I have a family function Saturday night that has me busy that day but will be open to meet and talk gentlemen talk on Sunday or Monday night.

Hah, misread your license plate as "383 CI" and thought it was a V8 car.
