Well, guys, looks like I'm out of the meet. That weekend, I'll have to be in Des Moines. I haven't bought an rx7, but I have gotten a rotary. I managed to pick up a 1975 Suzuki RE-5. Now, we'll see if I can manage to make it run. I need to be in Des Moines that weekend to finalize the paperwork and see what I can do about registering it.

Thanks bro! I should go down to Des Moines... I have a relative there. Maybe our next meet we can have there!

So you'll be there for the 14th? You got a 7 too right?

I'm glad I decieded to check this forum out after awhile.

Unless it blows up sitting in garage, I'll probably be able to be there with my 93 VR R1. (Try not to laugh at the dings and faded paint.)

If there is any other pinic stuff you need, let me know. Otherwise

Should I bring my no longer needed new and good used parts?

Marty

I dont have a 93 but I do have a 94 VR that I'm bringing

I'll also bring along a couple cases of beer if there is cooler space. If not let me know and ill just go out and buy a couple coolers. Hope everyone likes Bud Light

If anyone needs a ride from Iowa City let me know. Of course I can only take one but you guys should already know that.

About that ride.....I'll take you up on that offer. My car is running but I just had a guy offer me a decent price for my turbo, so I'm going to pull it off and sell it to him. Chances are really good that I won't have the new setup put together by this weekend. If you've already got someone else your taking, that's cool, I have a truck that I can drive if needbe.

Later,

Nice... that's a big snail. So I take it, you won't be bringing that ride this Sunday? Which one you bringing?

Looking forward to seeing you all there. Right now, weather is calling for 10% chance of rain, so that's good... if it rains, I might have to drive my daily there instead

See you there... Jason right? I hear you're the guru for our 7's around here in Iowa? Maybe you could teach me a thing or two this Sunday? You in Iowa City?

Really? Just east of CR? That's great... we'll have to hook up come Sunday. Maybe throughout summer we could work on our cars together. If you need an extra pair of hands to help with your work, let me know... I'd be more than happy to help AND learn more about our cars. It would be great to learn from someone with a lot more knowledge in that regard...

As far as the HKS intakes, I would love them, but for my mods, I am only running a dp and exhaust. So I don't have a PFC, or boost controller... haven't had the need since I'm still at 10-8-10. I know my plans are that when my engine goes, I will probably upgrade to an ecu and intake for sure... but who knows. I'm saving money for suspension right now, since I'm on stockers yet (>100k miles).

Another thing... I keep going back and forth between actually keeping the car and selling it... wife and I are planning kids soon, so you know the rest of the story. Know anyone interested in an unmolested, almost stock, pristine, third gen???

See you all Sunday.
