I will probably stop by for my once every three months visit around 7ish :-)

 

WOW, Justin.. I hope the expert technician's are on the job!

 

A few questions: first, is anyone meeting up tonight at Dulles Town Center or are people staying in because of the weather? If so, what time?

And a plea for advice:


I just replaced my '94 rx-7 engine and added a single turbo, intercooler, radiator, downpipe, etc. Now I'm having a problem passing emissions, because during the rebuild my egr valve was removed and replaced with a blocking plate. My numbers are actually fine I think, it's just that Virginia emissions tests do not allow for the removal of emissions equipment that was originally on the car. This is a bit ridiculous in my opinion as the 95 and 99 year models didn't even have an egr valve. Anyway, I took the egr valve off of my old engine but discovered that I could not install it because the downpipe is in the way. So rather than going to get a new downpipe installed just so I can put on a non-functioning egr valve (the apex pfc will not operate the egr) to convince the emissions people that I deserve to pass, I would like to ask all VA residents on the board to advise me on an easier way to get passed. Does everyone in VA have an egr valve when they go for emissions testing? Can anyone tell me of a place in Northern Virginia I might go where they won't scrutinize my car so heavily that they'll discover there is no EGR? I want to be legal! Help!

 

anyone coming out?? No rain

 

Weather looks great, I'll be there tonight! Who else is comming?

 

I gotta get my car ready for AutoX tomorrow after I get off work but I may be able to swing by for a bit.

 

I'm gonna try to make it out around 7ish.

Mike

 

Sorry about not showing up, had to put a fussy 22 month old to bed.

Life.


Mike

 

I'll let it slide this time but only because when you and Andy don't show up, I can pop my hood

 

I'll be happier popping my hood once we get those shiny parts installed. Still won't be any closer to Andy's though.

Mike

 

I will show this week, I should roll over to CF at 5.30.

 

I'll be showing up after work around 6:30-7:00!

 

Hes back...

 

I'll probably make it out tonight around the usual time.

 

Looking sorta cruddy out.

 

It was a nice turnout and the weather was fine...not even cold...

All those that said they will be coming you and didnt...damn you!!!

 

It's a little cloudy but should be a dry night. I'll be bringing Ronald with me around 6:30. Who else is comming out, we need at least one big rotor turn out before winter!

 

Yeah...Im with Ronald...

I'll be there @ 6:45ish with my Trusty, Emissions and MPG Friendly S :-P

 

So after 9 months, Roxanne will be making her debut at the famed Chik-Fil-A gathering...looks like a nice evening...anyone else going to be there?

 

I know I will be there at my usual time...And Justin said he will be there with Ronald...

 

I'm planning on going with the FD tonight.

 

Add one more FD to the list.

 

Add me punks!

Mike

 

Parents are visiting, not able to make it...

 

For once in a long time its nice to finally see all you OLD FOLKS with your shiny FD's :-)
