Hampton Roads (SE Virginia) Rotary Club
Kenny, Who all is going to be racing Wednesday? Let me know if anyone needs a driver :-) ... Ok I don't expect any takers. Johny is comming to meet up with us wednesday night, I am hoping we can get at least a few RX7's out there since he is driving 3 hours to meet up with us.
There are pictures from the event on page 5 and 6 of this thread

Sorry Guys, I couldn't go. I worked thurs, fri, sat night and to finish it off, the hot water valve in my downstairs bathroom sprung a leak and totally messed up my floor, basin, mouldings and some sheetrock. Needless to say, I spent quite a few hundreds of dollars to build a new bathroom. New floor, new toilet, new lavatory, new faucets, moldings and either today or tomorrow will be some new paint, mirrors, lights, and a more up to date shelf.

Matt is still making excusses , hahahahahha
Shawn should be there , he got his running last night , but does have something wrong with exaust
My car ran well last night , but would not start back up , trying to work on it today
So looks like everyone is keeping their fingers crossed
Ok I put the event up on http://www.hamptonroadsrotaryclub.co...opic.php?t=135 and it is already on the meetup site. I will have it send out notices later... Anyone heard from Jake to know if he is running his turbo-brick that night?

I installed my Koyo radiator and went for a drive. I even ran the A/C the warmest it got was 90c I should have done this long ago. I did develop a vac leak under the intake. Im pretty sure its the inj. (nothing else there). Im gonna bring Her anyway. Unless you will be equally impressed with "princess" 75k A.E. I may stop by earlier If it OK jerry Let me know what is a good time.
Johny
For a model project... anyone know of a model I can get a 1/12th model of a rotary engine (assume I have to buy a whole model car kit to get it). I doubt that I will find anything, but we will see. I don't want to "invest" a fortune in this either.
It sounds cool that everyone is going Wednesday. Anyone know if Randy and Rich know about it?

calvin, i know at one time they made 1/8 scale(?) rotary engine, i cant remember the maker, but try ebay and see if anybody has it. I think it was a 12a, but its been 15+ years since i have seen one. Hope it helps.

If it has oil in it to it's capacity then it's either bearings or the input shaft bearing up front. My 79 did that when I was beating it to hell on the track and it sounded like a supercharger, the higher the revs, the louder it got. Turned out to be the input shaft bearing which is in front, you have to drop the tranny for that one and replace.

Johny, Cool Deal on the radiator. I will let my buddy know of that. I am off so you can come anytime. I live not even 10 minutes from there and that's hitting lights.
