yeah i was in the process of moving from the east side, off of guthrie by the library. to over on 57th st off of merle hay. i saw you on guthrie, and the guy i live with said he saw you on franklin or something. nice looking car, i wasnt in my fc or i would have honked or waived or something.

Ah it's cool and thanks for the compliments. My girlfriend and I both live on the east side of Des Moines around Guthrie so I'm surprised you didn't see it more often. It was around quite a bit on the weekend because I put in some gauges in the car at a friends house. I'm hoping to overhaul the bushings on it in the coming month.

Back on topic. Let me know when you down for the meet at Old Chicago. I'll try to see if I can make it up that weekend.

Old Chicago sounds good to me.

Well another thirsty car to feed in this high gas market!

Cork sport just shipped my 99 bumper..... only took me 1 year to find an OEM bumper.......

I am down with OC in IC on 28th.

Blade - Its the rear diff that went, and I learned that a 12A bellhousing is not quite deep enough to put on a 13B. I plan on having that fixed, but the trans that came out is back in.

Steve - You have PM.

If you have the front lip for it I may be interested in that part alone. Mine was broken when I bought the car. Might consider the bumper if the price is right because mine is partially cracked in some of the inner bits because of the previous owner bottoming it out on something, but it is repairable.

I dunno if this thread is only for the Iowa RX7 meet, but if you any of you guys are interested in a higher speed (for DMVR SCCA region anyways) autocross at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, IA on June 8th you should check it out. Pre-registration is in the address below. $20 for SCCA members and $30 for weekend membership and autocross entry. $5 charge for people who do not pre-register. Pre-Registering is free and you do not have to pay until you go to the autocross. If you pre-register and don't go it won't affect anything. So if you are even considering going to the autocross I recommend pre-registering. Hope to see more rotaries out there!

He didnt answer and hasn't called me back yet. I will try to get a hold of him again tonight. I dont want a T2 one. After researching I found I would need a T2 fly, starter, d-shaft, trans, and rear end along with axleshafts. That is way too much money and also a bit more of a project than what I am really looking for... At least for right now.
