Wisonsinites - Fox Valley area round up

This is just sort of a little check in for all the guys in the Appleton area, extending to Green Bay and Stevens Point. I know there are a lot of other people in the madison and Milwaukee area, too, you can check in as well.

I guess the main reason I'm doing this is to just get an idea of how many of us there are, what we drive, etc.... maybe some night cruise the highways and byways, pick up chicks (or bring your own... whatev )

I myself live in the GB, Appleton, Point "love triangle" as I call it. I drive a S4 NA FC.

BBQ sometime? Maybe go to Iola Car Show, smoke some rice and then some brats?

Proud new owner of a 12A '83 GSL down here in the Mad city. Anyone got a decent drivers side racing bucket w/ brackets for sale? Too bad my girl isn't going to UWGB anymore, I'd be up there alot more and could check out your rides...

I would like to check your car out sometime. Have you seen the yellow fd with the veilside kit and aluminum deck spoiler around town lately? Last I heard he was doing a 2jz swap into it. My FC should be done real soon here. I tore the engine apart for the rebuild and repainted the car.

I near East Side I never seen a Red FD. I have seen one on the West Side long ago, and a Black one a few times near downtown but that it.

Never knew of a Yellow Veilside around here though. Then agian I see more ugly *** Supras around. Hell, there is even a Red one at Wal Mart all the time....

madmike here in Portage WI, I own a custom auto shop and own a 91 RX7 that I just swapped a JDM 13BT turbo into, and I own a 1985 RX7 that I am swapping a 2.0ltr twin turbo inline six Skyline engine into, and a body kit, custom paint & interior.

The RX7 is my favorite car, I work on and build all kinds of cool cars, but there is nothing like rapping through the gears on a Turbo RX7 and watching the tach wind out when she spools!

Not all members of that club are members of this club, and vice versa.

sigh... where were you guys when I lived in Appleton!?!?!? I own a VR 1993 FD. You guys have probably seen it around. Although I never saw anyone else. I know a guy with white FD there too, I knew him well. But other than him, never saw anyone else. I did see another red FD one time, in the 5 years that I lived there. Maybe he wasn't from there.

Good luck with the meet if you have one. take lots of pics!

You madison guys should come here to LaCrosse. We have some nice autocrossing and lots of hills. I have a 1993 RX-7 R1, fairly modified.
