Possibly not the right thread, but since I'm more concerned with local options I'll put this here:

I'm picking up my TII tomorrow morning, and am interested in getting my wastegate ported so I don't have boost creep. I plan on going for a 3" exhaust and I know that boost creep is a common issue. Anyone know a place/someone that can port my wastegate?

Suggestions on mods/order of mods?

Hope to meet some of you at the Cici's meet.

Saw a white FD in Kingstown yesterday. Perhaps heading to the Monday meet-up? It had a decent sized dent at the front of the driver's side quarter panel. Didn't recognize it. Anyone know this car?

CDC Auto in Bowie this saturday for those of you that like to slide around in the rain There are three 7s signed up already. With the 30-40% chance of rain I'm expecting some no-shows and possible extra runs.

So, you're going to win?

I'm almost done with my project. Hopefully I can make it out to a CDC event next month.
I'm dying to get some driving in.

You got $5700? I'll sell you my 91' and the parts I have for it, but you'll have to reseal the trans and put it back together.
You'll be one of those few guys with an actual 91' Turbo if that means anything to you. If it doesn't you won't pay.

Gloat gloat gloat, that's all you do I had 2nd overall for a hot minute too...

Good showing anyway. 'Though, I'd give you more props if you were driving the Rx.

Just remember, I had you when things were wet And, you only beat me by less than one sec on Index, I'm inching closer...

You signed up for next weekend?

just signed up.

hopefully by then I'll have my rear camber plates installed and dial in my camber a bit better (more camber in the rear and less up front) and have a set of A6s on the back too.

This was my first weekend at home in a month and with Hyperfest/LeMons next weekend I really just wanted to chill a bit. I will make it out to another event soon though. Are they running at Winchester at all this year?

edit: haha just got an email about the next event... in Winchester ;P

I was going to go, but had to leave town for the weekend. I heard the course was pretty different.

Yes they run in Winchester on 6/25, 7/9, and 8/13. I will not be at 6/25 unfortunately

I placed 9th this past event, best finish so far. It was a very interesting course setup. It was easy to stay on course, but hard to get your line right. I found it very entertaining. Two interesting features were a hairpin right before a WOT uphill slalom, and a squared off box type upper section.

You can check out you tube to see some runs. I'll post one of mine once it is done converting.

I don't know how to embed videos but here is one, you should be able to poke around in my account to see some others

http://vimeo.com/25042258

Also, who is interested in hitting up MIR for some drag strip action on Sunday? They are running a test and tune for $30.00. My thought is to show up early (10am) and hit maybe about 4 runs and head home. I don't want to spend too long of a day there, but I'd like to see where my car is at before I start in on some more mods.

Anyone?

Some events coming up for those of you that are interested.

Today there should be a good showing at the Chic-Fil-A meet in front of the Lowes that is near Dulles Town Center. Thread: https://www.rx7club.com/ne-rx-7-forum-30/2011-dulles-town-center-chick-fil-942372/

Next Saturday (23rd) there is another CiCi's meet happening at noon in Woodbridge. Thread: https://www.rx7club.com/ne-rx-7-forum-30/northern-va-cicis-meet-july-9th-23rd-vote-959679/

If you are planning on going to that or are just in the area, there is also a CDC Autocross event going on that same day also in Woodbridge. Stop by Hylton H.S. before the meet and check the event out. Totally free to come and watch or even ride along.

Here is Wes on course again:


Me with a really dirty car (some construction run-off on the highway got splashed on the car en-route to the event):


And here is Mike. See if you can spot the Rx-7 in this picture.
