Hey Iowa II
Progress pics of "The Hood"
Filled and all the insane amount of rock chips feathered out:


Etch primed (bare metal areas):

In primer:

Tomorrow it will be flipped over and the bottom will be sprayed. Next, it will be flipped back right-side up and then sprayed and the hood will be done (after buffing). The chin spoiler will also be sprayed at same time as top of hood.

Well it seems the Rx8 guys can't decide on a date. Seems that one of the MODS is coming up from texas and has changed his dates to the 10th or something. IDK i am giving up on that! lol Ill be in chicago and might stop at their meet the 9th. But i will talk to all the CR guys and see if we can just get one here by end of August or early Sept. I will keep you guys updated.
NOW onto Rx7's; does anyone here drift?? I know a red 8 in town and my self like to go out and drift but there really inst a big drift scene here in CR. Its mostly kids in Camaros, civics, and a few nice AWD subbies/evos. I will be buying a FC sometime in the future for a drift car.

Edit: I havent told you the really bad news Steve. I figured I would leave it as a surprise for when you got here. I'll give you a hint: Dots (not the candy).
Edit 2: I just need to say that I better be seeing some baby pics here within the next couple days.

yeah ive had about 100 fc's well it starts to seem like it when you go through them as fast as i do
the one i have now though might be a keeper the body is pretty nice and its a good candidate for a ls1 6 speed swap

i have seriously been considering selling my setup and all the gadgets i have, wait to you see it lol.. i have seriously every bolt on for the twins haha.. but i was considering doing a ls1 6 speed myself in it.. but i dunno.. im confused.
maybe jesse will chime in he has a really freaking clean fc with the swap done to it and the car is just awesome
IMO its the best bang for the buck plus its super reliable plus fd's with clean ls1 swaps i see go for like 20k+

plus that where can i find a complete ls1 and 6 speed for around 3-3500 bux? mileage i dont care about as id rebuild it while i can anyways.. so I know all is fresh! this is if i decide to go that route.. plus that id have soo much to sell for a rotary powered fd it isnt funny.. pfc, twin power, ported motor, new tranny, new radiator, front mount ic system, bolt ons galore yeah a load of crap!
Does anyone from Iowa/Illinois have experience with fuel injected 13B engines?
I have 2 non-turbo and 1 turbo 13Bs and I need some help figuring what I need to get them running.
Please let me know if you can help, I am in Des Moines.
Thanks.
