Thanks for the offer. I've already placed the order for an AEM unit off of Amazon and expect it any day this week. If someone has a datalogit I'd be interested in it.

I've got no suggestions for you. Good luck finding a shop.

I'm working on a plan involving a 6-port NA, some porting tools, and a Haltech Platinum Sport 1000. If I'm lucky I might have something put together in time for next SCCA solo season.

You want the BEST paintjob in town??? Call Dave at Leading Edge Customs 261-8498. You're not going to spend any less than probably $3k, but it will surpass factory paint I guarantee.

And yeah, modding and living. Trying to heal up still. Turns out I had a stress fracture from surgery and now have a broken fibula. Will find out monday if I need another surgery to fix it. If not, I'm scheduling my shoulder surgery for september and my knee surgery for november. Gah...

In the meantime though, the engine for the FD is completely done, as well as the entire single setup, fuel system, meth injection, dual oil coolers, etc... I still need wheels and to get her in the paint shop as well, I'm slacking on that. Mathematically, she should put down around 600hp with everything I've built over the last year. It's tough looking at the parts on the bench haha. I could build now, but I want to paint first and get all my body goodies on. I'm looking to hopefully have her DONE by my bday, September 8, as a present to myself I've got a few engine builds going right now, so we'll see how far behind those put me. All in all, I guess I can still say she's in the works. Hope to see everyone soon!!

Hope you get healed up and your car put back together soon. Sounds like you're keeping yourself busy. Good luck.

I'm down for another RX-7 meet. My FD is on hold right now due to school starting up. Almost done with the interior then I will slowly start on my LS1 swap.

They are alright it worked for awhile. Nowhere near Koyo's quality however. Plus my old godspeed cracked welds when my motor blew the coolant seals. I'd never buy one again after getting my Koyo though. Just my 2 cents.

Godspeed parts are ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. Might as well throw your hard earned money right in the trash. Spend th extra dough and get the KOYO or the MFR Rad.

And yeah, Hayseed's shell is S4. Was my TII years ago. Was the nicest TII in NM at one point. R.I.P.

I'm down! But my FD is out of commission for a WHILE, so you'll hafta accept me pushin a piston motor though!

But I'd still love to meet the locals, and maybe take a nice scenic drive on one of the roads Sean was telling me about!

NM DukeCityRotary

What's going on RE drivers. I'm looking for people in the Albuquerque area that want to meet up with a Rotary club that was started here in Albuquerque. We call our self DukeCityRotary, and we are always looking for more drivers. We currently have 6 members with RX-8's, and RX-7's. We are also working on getting Rotary powered truck/cars in the club/meet ups also. Check out or join our face book group if interested for meet-ups, drives, drinks, and shows. We are trying to get a show going for a charity.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/dukecityrotary
Also let anybody else you know that drive RE vehicles that might be interested.
You can also email us at dukecityrotary@groups.facebook.com for more info.

Thank You
