I have a black R-1 with silver stripes, I live in Glenside. Right now the car is at KD rotary with an ever increasing list of work, and an exponentially increasing bill. When I hear of future meets, I will try to make it.

Don't plan on it

Philly street races

Atco is good, just REALLY crowded on the popular nights.

I'm in the suburbs also, right in Senseny's area.

temple is very close to me. i have my beater up here for now, but i do have a garage for the rx-7 here, i bring it up every once in a while and take it down to the races just to cruise around. i have seen a few other fd's down at the races just hanging out too.

I go to Temple part time for grad school. Live and park my seven about five minutes from there. Never drive it up there, though (never drive it in the city, actually). don't imagine that many people do...

Dan, sorry I didn't see you the other day. KD still has the car. It needed shocks, and when they got to tuning, my clutch wouldn't hold once they got a bit north of 12 psi. So a new ACT clutch and an aluminum flywheel are now on the horizon for the next couple weeks. I'll get in touch after I get it back.

Hey Dan, thats not fair, I told you I'd probably miss the meet due to work. And it ain't my fault my clutch blew out on the dyno, leaving me without my baby for another week or two. Believe me I wanted the car back. That being said, if I am around I will swing over and catch you this weekend. I'll bring the 8 to be in the rotary spirit. I really want to check your ride out. Sorry to make bitch excuses, I'll catch you soon.

I'll try to swing in Sunday morning cause I have a hockey game around 2pm. I'll try to avoid making more excuses. It sounds like I'll get my FD back late next week.

Kevin (JFXP), you punk!! You stated in your profile that you built the engine yourself, but you know very well who did. Atleast you could have given me SOME credit for porting and building it!!
