Maryland guys!
I'm sick 
in other news, I bought some KYB GR-2s for my corolla, along with some eibach springs... lol. I'll let you guys know how it is.
I'm holding off on the adjustable wing though
also, my rx-7 is getting almost done. all I have to do it solder up some wires I have laid out for my gauges, then just put everything back together and tune (with some other random little stuff) oh, and I have to get my wiring harness finished up.
*exciting*

The ae86 is fast as hell now... the 20v 4age is a very cool engine. Sounds really good with the open throttles. The throttle is VERY sensitive too. I only have to touch the throttle to make the car move ... I don't actually have to "push" it in at all... and I cruise with the throttle pushed down maybe
I did a 3rd gear pull to 7800 rpms last night... started at 3800...
so I started at 40 mph and ended somewhere around 100 (not sure b/c I was watching the laptop ). It pulls strong all the way up.
But man, ITB's make tuning accel enrichments very hard. I have a feeling that accel enrichments are going to be the only hard thing to tune about this engine.
There is a noticable jolt at 4400 when the variable valve timing comes on, I mean it kicks you back in the seat a bit. And there a noticable jump in AFR. (jumps from 12.8:1 to 13.2:1 when the VVT kicks in).
Anyway, this is just for those people who care, and knew that Julian and I were doing the 20v swap on the ae86.

Here's an adjustable wing I could live with... if I had the car it was attached to. Carrera GT = hotness. Goes up 6.3 inches at 75mph, retracts when it drops back below 50mph.

It's unlikely that we could support the newer ones, but we could definitely do somthing with the older ones.

Hey guys, looking for some old unusable rotors. I need 10 of them, and I live in Maryland. I don't want to pay something crazy like 50 bucks for each, I would be willing to buy 10 of them for 100 bucks.
If you have anything, please shoot me a PM, finding this message in this thread is a pain in the butt.
Thanks
Justin

As much as I hate to admit it, the honda crowd does seem willing to spend money.
I'm just worried about the support issues that go along with supporting that crowd.

I am actually giving away 6 of them at the MD BBQ sponsored by Roy, and I am helping him out for the event this year. They will be given away as a drawing, the other 6 will be either sold later on, or given away to buddies of mine, so I am not making a profit by this.
If you guys have any, please let me know, we can arrange a certain dollar amount.
