MN Members in the Twin Cities

Seeing as there hasn't been a new intro thread in (as far back as I looked) over two years.

I'm Dave and I'm a rotaddict.

Just starting on my third Rx7. I'm hoping to use it as a weekend warrior for auto-X.

Cool. I'm just south of the river, always looking to chat with fellow rotorheads. I hope you'll see my FC in your area real soon.

You mean happiness

I'm located about 45min North of the TC area in Cambridge. I roll anywhere from Cambridge down to south Minneapolis depending on what I'm up to. Will be going back to the U of M Twin Cities campus this August so you may see a Turbo swapped Tornado Silver FB sometime -

Discovered my oil injector lines are starting to crack at my MOPjust above the Banjo connectors. Does anyone know of a local "custom line/hose" company to fab up something I have in mind to replace them?

If they turn out I would like to sell them as a replacement kit to.

Granted... I should just google and see if someone has beat me to it already

Google prevails, a fantastic thread in archives popped up with Teflon tubing for replacement. This is a great fix while I wait for my s5 Tii to be rebuilt.

88Rxna,

I would lend a hand this Saturday. Work is crazy at the moment. I will even bring my 7 along.

anyone here with the red S5 vert at Bush lake this evening? I was on my way home in my S4 FC and pulled up next to your car and took a quick walk around and left.

I wish I still had mine. I've been out of the game for awhile now. If you guys see any non operational FC's for under $500, let me know. I'm south metro.

As soon as we are done jigging up all of our downpipe combinations we will be letting ours go for that price. No Engine/Tranny, S5 GTU in decent shape.

Wow, I appreciate the quick response. Although I was hoping to at least have a complete car that at the most, needed an engine rebuild. Thanks anyway. I don't suppose you have any junk engines that a guy could have for tear down purposes do you?
