Full-time work, fixing my FC's exhaust and suspension, racing the FC locally, maybe racing out of state, and building a dedicated FB racecar. I've also volunteered some time to help out at least three people with car repairs. Gonna be a busy summer.

The exhaust was converted to a true-dual earlier this year. It's way too loud. I need to install a much bigger pre-silencer and have my y-pipe modified to accommodate it. The rear shocks are blown so I need to find some replacements. I've got camber-caster plates for the front, and ride height adjusters for the rear.

Thats cool man. I definitely know what you mean about the exhaust. I bought my car about 2 weeks ago and the only exhaust it has on it is a cracked header welded to a straight pipe that goes all the way back. It looks and sounds like hell. Really loud hell. First thing on my list for this car is get rid of that piece of **** exhaust and find a stock one because its gonna be my DD for a while.

I'm going to get my car repainted and fix my interior. If I have the money I might do the suspension. It sucks i want to take it to the track but looks like I'm going to take the 86 instead this year. I think we should have a meet this year at the road course track I don't remember the name of it but I think it would be a good place to meet up and hang out. We should really just set a day, everyone talks about it lets do it. Also if anyone knows a good paint and body guy hook me up, my car is so faded it's killing me. Also I just moved here so I don't know the area very well.

Have you tried a good paint cleaner and paint polish? With a few hours of work you might be able to buff out all the oxidation. Doesn't work every time, but paint cleaner and polish are cheap.

I'm going to have to get it painted, I had to get a new hood because my current one is jacked and I have a few paint chips that need some attention. It just really needs a new spray, and I have the money for it I just need to know of a good shop. I would do it myself but I'm still going through chemo so I can't do it. I was told I couldn't work on the car too but that isn't going to happen.

Well here is the track I would like to take my car to but a drag track will be fine. http://clubalbuquerque.com/sandia-motor-speedway This is the link to it I don't have any more info on it or anything I have never been there but I just moved here and was wondering if anyone else has. I think it would be cool if we could all pitch in for the day and have a RX-7 day. When I lived in Germany the 7's would have a day at Nurburgring, so would the Supra guys and Skyline guys. I used to love to go to those. I also used to go the Czech Republic and rent a track for like 100 bucks for the hole day, because we had a huge Rx-7 club. Plus I was the rich guy because I had US dollars and not rubles. I think we should try to do something like that here. What do you guys think?
