I have a 12a out of an 1983 I think mostly short blocked, but complete and still turns over freely, I also oiled it when I got it and made sure the seals stayed wet with oil. I am in Iowa so let me know if you need one...

Once the weather breaks we'll start talking more about a meet. I think we used to have one in may?

Yea, I remember May as well. As soon as it's warm enough I'm down. I'm not about to sit outside freezing my *** off in 40 degree weather. Rather be able to enjoy the outdoors.

We can have another meet at my house if you guys are down. Either Sat May 25 or Sun May 26 should be ok. It would also kind of be a birthday party since I turn the big 3-3 on the 27th. Let me know what you guys think.

End of May would probably work for me, I'd just have to plan ahead for the road trip.

Does anyone know where I can buy an FC roller? Cheap or free? I need the rear section from it, basically from the back of the doors to the rear bumper up to the bottom section of the hatch.

Wallywhite88@yahoo.com if you know of anything.

Thanks.
Jesse

Ian your place worked out good last time I thought. I'm sure those dates would be fine with me I don't work weekends.

I'm hoping the fc will be drive able by then but who knows.

Jesse watch craigslist Chicago for shells. If you find just a shell let me know cause I need something off the front if you're going to hack the rear. I'd even split some cost.

I actually just bought a full set.

Now I have my full s5 exterior parts just need them painted...... I also picked up a set of Kosei K1 wheels. Debating if I should do coilovers or buy my jspec swap?

I'm watching two sets on eBay right now a set of buddy club then a set of jic. Both used but very decent coilovers. I thought about those or some BC coils had several buddies with them on their Subaru's and rode/handled great.

Those k1's are stupid light too, I would guess 13-15lbs each.

What's everyone been up to? I'm slowly accumulating parts for my motor swap. Only thing I really need is fmic, injectors and a haltech.
