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.

Thanks, yeah I try to keep myself kept up.

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.

Davenport lost the 319 area code when other towns decided that it wasnt cool enough to have a good area code.

Steve, your picture message is total BS.

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 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.
