The kit with the gun is about $300.

 

I used 1.5 gallons @ $60/gal. So, more than a full tank of gas, but not much more these days

edit: Yea I bought the full kit but now I have lots of leftover to redo panels, wheels, or whatever as necessary. I'm also thinking I'm going to try it on my interior plastics, they have a video of that and it came out pretty nice. They used the gloss coating for the interior bits though.

 

It would be cool if they had a multi-color kit like the rest of the Plasti-Dip. Here's a kit I have:



Then you could do color-matching for plastics, accents, w/e.

 

First look in full sun today... Needs a few more coats in some spots but that's almost trivial to do.

 

It was a flocking party!

I need to take a proper pic with the camera but i think you get an idea of the outcome

 

The FD looks great! The flocked dash looks good too.

 

Thanks man... way worth it..and fixed that bastard warning cluster while it was out. a buddy and i have a booth set up for flocking.. if anybody else wants it done.. im sure our help could be enlisted for the proper amount of beverages lol.

 

Looks good man.

 

That Dash does look good, I've never heard of/seen that done before. It really turned out great, nice and even. Are there any other benefits to doing that past cosmetics?

 

I should sell my black interior and have some crappy dash flocked. Any of you FC guys looking for a nice black interior? The B-pillars and rear Sid carpets have been modified for a roll bar

 

FWIW as another option people have also been using Plastidip for quite some time to refresh old dash plastics. I'm thinking of trying it out. Will report back.

 

Just got back from doing an alignment at this new DIY auto shop in Sterling. Manual rack is a bit more livable now that the settings are right. Shop info if anyone's interested:

Garage Club for Sports Car in Loudoun County, Fairfax County, VA

 

I saw that the other day when I was looking for the other one that used to be in Sterling. Didn't seem like a bad deal. 20 bucks a month and if you use the lift like 15 an hour. Wondered if it was worth it or not. I need to do my exhaust on the vert.

 

Thats pretty cool.. with the membership required id like to think everybody is courteous and doesnt muck about.

 

Matt - that looks really good. Can't wait to see it up close.

I've been MIA all summer since the RX-7 blew a hose or something....there's a vacuum leak somewhere. It idles high and I just didn't feel like messing with it....but the time has come to get this thing fixed and back on the road. (Emissions is/was due too....and this weather just makes the FD scream "drive me!")

Sucks I missed the entire auto-cross season Rocky! I see you're trying to put another drive together. Hopefully, I can get it fixed by then.

Hope to catch up live and in person soon.

Don't feel bad, I missed the entire AutoX season too Get it fixed in time for the fall cruise!

 

Everyone in the tri state area. I'm trying to get EFI University to come to my new shop in MT Airy Md and teach a class on tuning. You will have the chance to tune a car and do it the safe way. Call the shop or PM me if you want to attend. We only need 15 to 25 peuple to make it happen. Save thousand by being able to tune your car your self. We will also be offering the attendees a discount on dyno time for tuning their own rides. Up to 5 hours only but well worth it.

 

There is a rx7 club/dc region fall cruise?? When does this happen? Do i have to make a billgillion horsepowers to be invited?

 

No date has been set for the fall cruise. This is only the second year we will have done it. There is no horsepower limit or else we wouldn't have invited Wes last year lol.

 

We went to skyline 2 years ago in the fall where Mike showed his inner racer so technically this will be the 3rd if we can all agree on a date and venue

 

Im in TOO.

 

I will have the thread up soon. I am trying to decide whether we do another Shenandoah trip like the spring, or we do the Tour De DC that I've always wanted to do, or get even more adventurous and hit up Rt.33. The date will likely be late October for prime leaf color reasons. Here are the routes I have been considering:

ROUTE A

ROUTE B

ROUTE C

Last year we did a fall 'cruise' down to MIR for Imports vs. Domestics car show. This was good fun, but I think I'd like to separate the two this year. Some people don't have the opportunity to do a whole day affair. And those who can, have no problem getting out to more then one meet.

Look for the Fall-Roadtrip thread. I make no promises but I should be able to get it posted this week.

 

Yeah that sux, but there are still 3 Sunday events left if you can get it sorted

If you can't get it fixed you should show anyway and ride along, we always need a camera man to capture the trip. I have a suspicion (hope really) that Vlad may be busy with driving his car this year.

 

Mmmmm Fall Road Trip

 

I'm down for the Route B plan but may I also recommend there are some great touring roads out west of Loudon county up to the mountains near the WV border that don't take very long to get to and aren't crowded like Skyline is in the fall. I can map something out if you'd like to see what I'm talking about.
