i'll be staying the peru area but have been around enough i know north manchester, ft. wayne, indianapolis, and west lafyette well enough to get around. I'm getting a 93 rx-7 r1, i'm pretty stoked about driving a rotary again and hope to see y'all.

 

How'd that gay *** mazdafest car show go?

 

tony it was badass! there were ***** and beer and more *****.........wait nvm that was my dream last night...it was kinda lame and hot. good to see a lot of rx7s but idk just not many hardcore rotary people there. so u going to be at halls next sat??

 

Come out to Summit R/C on Goshen rd.. Season starts May 2 @ 3pm. Dirt Oval & truck Off road.

 

Yeah Roberto, I should be up there.
Those kids from Elkhart are supposed to come back up.

 

I think my count is around 16 now.... nitro and electric
working at Phil's for three years kinda does that.
I started racing with SARC when they were setting up track at the FW Armory
I think everything is stored now that I'm in college (only until the end of July!!
or until BMW STEP starts again...

 

If you're in Fort Wayne on the weekends, stop at Hall's (Coliseum + Lima roads) at night and say hi. I'm the guy with the loud *** 2nd Gen.

Wow. I've only got 7 or so. Old Baja Beetle, RC10CE, home build drag car, Traxxas Stampede, Blade Helicopter, and the good ones... 8800KV brushless RC18T and 5700 KV brushless RC10 B44 (both LiPo). Anyone run a 4wd mod buggy class? I'm pretty much ROAR legal. I know the guys at Phil's said they'd never even seen a B44, so I'm not hopeful on a 4WD mod class... I can hold my own with 1/8 buggy/truggy though, power wise anyway.

And you're a BMW guy too? Nice. Got an E36 328i Cabrio at home. Good luck on the STEP stuff.

 

He's they guy with all the people hovering around his boosted 8 banger.
The one with 1,000,000 whp.
The one with 16" wide drag radials.
The one with the sumped gas tank and A1000 fuel pump.
Your run of the mill STREET CAR...

 

I may have power, but your car is damn sexy, even with it's spinny doritos of doom.

Oh, and I have eleventy billion horsepower, thank you very much.

 

you had that thing on a dyno too see what its laying down since the turbo addition yet?

 

that's that 50's looking diner across from the mall right? I've seen some get togethers there before but never stopped by. as for your v8.....I respect it as that's what i grew up wrenching on, but i'm going to stay with my rotary. something fascinates me about a 1.3 being able to smoke a v8 with no reliability issues

 

Everybody around here knows that my car looks more beat up than a taxi cab.
It was actually refered to as being a "sleeper" this past weekend by those Elkhart boys. I was sort of offended.
Then I looked at how beat up my car was and thought... ... ... oh.

And it sure as hell aint reliable...

 

Not yet, still hammering down the tune. Should have a chance sometime in June though.

Watch those reliability issues. J/K

I'm not out to convince anyone to go V8 or rotary, I've helped friends with both. Just my own choice for the V8.

Even a beat up FD is still a damn pretty car.

 

eh, the only rotory i can speak from experience with was a 12a, but i'm **** about preventative maintenance so the fd's going to be in good hands

 

speaking of preventative maintenance, does banzai do trans rebuilds? OTT tells me that 5th gear is starting to occasionally grind. sounds like sychros to me i hate transmissions and have never been any good at gear meshing, soooo, i need somewhere that will do a damn fine job on the trans.

 

They will only do it if you have them pull the trans. Then they send it out to a fort wayne transmission shop to rebuild it.
They don't actually rebuild them at banzai.

I'm on my third transmission, and hopefully last.
My first and second ones were usdm and both eventually grinded going into 5th. Sometimes 3rd if I'm racing.
My new one is a S6 JDM. It rocks! It shifts like butter...
Shorter 5th gear is so practical. I got it from Brian (Japan2LA) here on the forum.
He's got like a million of them. I wanted a S7 or S8 but he rarely has those in stock.

$495.00 +185.00 shipping = $680.00

I know I'm missing a couple electrics.. just can't remember now
I need all the luck I can get as far as the BMW school is concerned. They are not starting any new classes until January 2010 except for one in NJ and I think one in Orlando, not sure though.
My dad has a red E36 328i Cabrio (auto though)
I am still hopeful on acquiring my dream car, a 2002 E39 M5 in Le mans Blue.... aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh..........................

try AIM Tuning in indy 317-381-0898 i trust them over banzai anyday myself

 

Stateline R/C in Fremont is having a few trophy races this summer. Bring the B44 out there. There's alot of competition. You could bring it to Summit. 3 makes a class I believe.
I have a Kyosho RB5, Losi XXXTCR, and the new AE SC10. Working on a deal for sponsership at the moment so that may change.

 

remember guys today is EARTH DAY!! I have chose to show my love by shifting at 4k all day to help!

 

i expressed my feelings on earth day by starting up my car and running it through a nice heat cycle.... also managed to fog out the few nats i saw so i should bill the city for saving them on west nile spraying in my area

 

I'll have to have you bring that thing out to my parents house to kill a few hundred thousand of those damn mosquitoes so we can have a couple peaceful nights outside this summer what do say, $15 and hour at idle at a 25:1 premix ratio?

 

Guess which one has a crush on me.

 

screw earth day lol. the engine on our aircraft (mq-1 predator, the UAV) is a flat 4 turbo and the exhaust dumps right out of the downpipe.

 

tony you are a sick, sick man.... lol
