Look. The first time I met Chuck I was warned. The guy has his good days and bad days, and that is just how he is. Accept it or not. I know he has a ton of talent when it comes to his porting and engine building. He can be pretty far out there, yeah. Hes came off to me in both fashions where he was backwards, and then as an "arrogant know-it-all". Regardless, you either accept it or don't. If you don't want to, then you most certainly don't have to be around him. There is no point in the least to argue about this, especially on a car forum.

"I don't have the heart to keep it" poor guy.

I've got nothing to proove to you Derek because when it comes down to it, I will always turn more heads in my FD and I don't have to part it out because my chick left me. say what you want but there it is in black and white:

"I have just gone through.. (and am still living ) the worst time of my life.... (like the last 8 months)

My girl left me.. I still love her so much..

so I am parting out my RX-3.. because I don't have the heart to keep it.. since we built it together."

^^^^that's GOD!^^^^
always turn more heads in your fd?as of my subaru? yaay an fd is a beautiful car.But you say you used to race so lets see if that fd will ever see its full potential then. how about you come to some auto x's next season. lets see who turns more heads your fd or me in my scoob. i will shake your hand if you can come within 4 seconds of me. we can make a gentlemans bet if you would like.

This guy has decided he doesn't like Chuck without even meeting him, he should have been on OJ's jury.........

I will continue to be both a friend and customer of Chuck as he has never disappointed me...

<---- Chuck here.

Nice read fella's


First off,
Ryan (fritts) I am truely sorry that I allowed you to form the opinions of me you have.
I've been through a lot in the recent years,, and have turned myself around. I was an *******... or whatever else you want to throw on here. and appologize to you most explicitly, because you, of all people did not deserve my attitude.

Which brings me to you, "mazdaguy42"
you are throwing around alot of ****. yeah whatever, I deserve it. go ahead. However, throwing the comments in there about my ex is beyond the line. God forbid you ever have to go through what I've been through. Promise me, if you do, you give me a call. let me know how it feels, and I'll do my best to help you through it.

It is this loss which has made me see the light, and realize what life is all about... even though it sucks

So, I deserve it. Oh, next time i see you in Napa, and go out of my way to say high in a friendly manner, at least acknowledge me. Don't ignore me, maybe say something to let me know you've read this, and maybe accept my appology.

in general.

I do Still have the RX-3. I've drained fluids, and some parts for storage purposes. IF someone wanted to buy the car or any of its components, I would sell it. Frankly, I am scared to reassemble and autoX it.

Steve's right. I have taken some time away to play in the subaru. I've been playing with custom tunes and data logging all week.. and plan on attending 30+ events in 2007 including a return to Winged Warrior III




In closing... I guess.. For you haters. I'm sorry.

for those who know me, and had to deal with me in the past, I thank you. I hope each day will be a step futher away to what i was.

Chuck

Bravo for owning up to your mistakes C. You pissed a lot of guys off at those cookouts by your comments and I'm really not sure why I was your target for so long. When were you in napa? I don't remember the last time I went there. this summer I'm sure.

Derek, you'll have your day on the track with me. I've got nothing to proove. We'll zip around cones and then we'll hit the drag strip. we'll see if you can come within 4 seconds in a quarter with me, then I'll shake yer hand.

So now back to the guy with the blue FD, where is he? I saw that car once in the spring and that was it. Caught rumor at IPFW that he was selling it. I think I spoke with him once and he said he had some authentic body kit, maybe an RE. I was bumed to see another Blue FD other than mine and his tan interior beats mine.

the car belonged to my friend Cole.
I ported and assembled his engine in a lot of 3 engines.
Cole's
a 13B REW for Aron Hansen,
and a 20B for an undisclosed customer.

he picked it up.. installed it, then I dunno what exactly happened.. I know he too was having personal problems, and wasn't able to invest the time into car he wanted. His Power FC was also giving him fits... along with some of those many FD sensors etc.

he ended up selling the car to a guy in Kentucky, as I recall..
I too was upset to see it go.. the engine was really well done and could have made some big power.. besides the fact i did it, at a loss of my own.. just to help a friend.

I know it was an authentic body kit. If you like I can call cole tomorrow, and get the rest of the details.

Na don't worry bout it. Just would have like to have seen his car over all a little more. As you know I'm still sportn' red interior and I'm having the worst time trying to get rid of it for some black interior.
If I could find the time I'd make a set of door panels out of carbon fiber but it really is a big pain in the ***. You probably recall that I made the fenders that are on my car out of 2 layers of fiberglass and a layer of 10 ounce cloth. That was cake compaired to laying carbon fiber. It could just be another thing on my list of things to do to the car but right now my list takes up more room than the reading material in the bathroom.

"cole's" 350z blue looked pretty good from where I saw it. I considered that color for my FD but Subaru got it right with the Mica, pearl and blue that they came up with.

I would greatly appreciate that. As with anyone else you'd see a cut if we have a transaction. I actually need a lot of interior parts. the trunk is empty. when the car was getting painted blue I decided I liked the car without the wing and asked the guys doing some of the work if they could weld over the holes where the wing was. To make a long story short they caught my trunk on fire and the roof liner got some too.

Now's a great time to inspect my wiring inside the car as some of it is in question. After my single conversion a bunch of things were quirky with my electrical. I let the car sit for a month and all my problems just went away.(wish everything was like that) The car started really pulling hard. I have a boost leak but I'm not worrying about it till I get my Blitz intercooler. At the 5 psi that I get I KILLED this silver Supra TT last week. He had big *** wheels and an exhaust. Felt damn good too, I needed a win.

wow looks like ive missed alot since ive been gone, the fort wankel crew has seen alot of hardship the past few years, alot of lost friends for all of us but alot of knew people have been added, new cars and some old cars, no about this whole race thing im very intrested, i know derek to be an awesome driver, autox it would be no contest, you would prolly be better off racing against me in the geo, ya thats right im Geo Jeff sporting the prizm and raping everyones ********. Straightline that subaru is pretty damn fast, could be close, well that fd better be in the mid 8s to run 4 seconds from D bones, as for the whole chuck thing goes, get the hell off his back, he bust his *** to help everyone, the special chuck tune was his advice he has put alot of time into all of cars ya his time has been thought and obersvation, if it werent for chuck i wouldnt know anything about rotaries, some other guy would have done it all for me and i would have been lost no days, so if everyone still wants to talk **** go ahead and talk, FWR autocross 07, come to some and see if you can keep up with any of us fort wankel guys, we do our talking with our driving,
