hey guys. good to hear from you again. i will be racing with a audience. my mom and heidi are coming out. im having them follow in the subaru so ill have somewhere to pass out from the heat with a/c. anything you guys want me to bring?

christian-sorry about today. very out of place and unorgonized day. still planning on making a guest appearance sunday?

 

no problem rick. we didnt get anything done anyway. i will be making an appearence tommorow atleast for a little while. good to see you and david are still alive shaun. see you guys tommorow.

 

Cool. You don't have to bring anything. David is bringing his kart racing buddy Jordan. They bought all sorts of libations and snacks. The trailer is all loaded and we're ready to go later this AM. See you there around 7am. Call us on David's cell. 508-612-6432

 

i had a run in with stupidity today, but i am pretty sure everything is going to be ok.

i am such an idiot.

and BTW, how was autocross? sorry i didn't make it but i had to go into work earlier than i was supposed to because someone called in sick.

 

i don't know what to do with my car... sigh

 

the battery died so i am just charging it and hopefully that will give it enough juice to start up. oh the perks of working on your car.

 

Are you still having problems with it? Do you want me to come over and help you out?

 

dude i would love that. i was gonna ask but i wasn't sure how you were with rotarys.

 

I've got the basics of the rotary down, but I rely heavily on my piston experience.

 

yeah. so today i got it almost running. found a second ******* paper towel in my LIM. laugh all you want. but now i am just going to trey and change the plugs out and make everyhitng work. hopefully. maybe i will see you guys at the "meet" i think i can find it. if a silver lincoln town car rolls up, it's me.

 

Good luck on fixing your 7, I'd go to that meeting tomorrow but I'll be at work until 4

 

i would like to extend much thanks to pete and paddy for helping me out today. and if anyone has a UIM, i really need it. mine litterally crumbled apart today.

 

oh no!!!! im sorry to hear that. give Jesse a call. he has a lot of extra RX-7 parts that hes collected over the year. Good luck Christian. once i get the daily driver back ill have to head over and check out your operation. as well as SLO Motorsports. Im slackin on my rotary action.

 

Oh Christian, sorry to hear about your RX-7 woes. David and Matt B. (former FC3S owner) decided to remove the AC as well as the emissions stuff from the AE so it is completely ripped apart. There are parts all over the garage floor. I am fearful that the end result will be like yours, Christian. I'm not sure if it will be back together for NHIS. Knowing how tempermental rotary engines are, I don't know what possessed David to rip apart what was a perfectly running car! :-(

Thank god, Matt B. was helping him. Hopefully they can get back together and finish what they started. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that they will get the AE running again. Whether or not it will ever be the same is still an unknown.

Rick, because the AE is on the lift and torn apart, don't plan on being able to do anything on your car when you visit. Check with David to see where he stands on the AE. Worst case, you'll have to figure out how to haul your tires to NHIS. It's too early to know if that will be the case though.

 

thats ok shawn. i think im saving my money for Lime Rock on October 2nd. i figured the RAL event is gonna be a $150 weekend, with gas, food, camping, etc. so im just gonna put the money i was gonna put into auto crossing into my Lime Rock registration. im planning on bringing the legacy by to pick up the tires on wednesday if thats ok with you. i dont want to barge in, but i can bring steaks over as well if you want to have a little cook out. ill give you guys a call once i get my cell phone charger back. take care.

good luck christian.

 

ordered a new uim today. hopfully i will have it by the end of the week. this one is coming with block off plate for the double throttle and aws so that's cool.

 

Lime Rock again?!? Why not COM NHIS on Oct. 21st?

 

i enjoied Lime Rock. im not gonna have a instructor drive my car again. does anyone know where to get Panther Paw Pads? i would like some for Lime Rock in the front. im saving my V710s for time attacks as well. so i think im done with the autocross for the year. my clutch is starting to catch a little high. and its a 6 puck which is not anywhere near normal.

 

Now, I might be a little old shool...but... what's the deal with Panther Paw pads?

 

yeah, what are they?

 

I think he means Carbotech Panther Plus pads. Call Carbotech directly and tell them that Tom Hoppe is a ***** and you'll get a discount. And get the XP8's. The Panther Plus are more of a high performance street/auto-x pad, not a race pad.

So, when's the next autocross? I'm finally getting my car to the level I want it at and I promised myself I'd take it to an autocross this summer. I'm thinking the 9/3 at Devens?

 

thanks a lot pete. ill be sure to call him that.

i want better pads for racing. im sure you know, no cones, when your brakes get mooshy, you have to drive completely different. it makes me a little nervous. im trying to get everything set up for my next road race event so i can get the most out of it. last event i had to take it easier due to brakes and heat issues, so im trying to deal with these things to enjoi myself more. heres what i have to do for the event:

-Brake Pads (Panther Plus)
-Engine undertray
-Coolant with Water wetter
-Oil
-Clutch Disc
-Flywheel
-Motor Mounts
-Custom Tow Hooks (anyone get anything to work with a FMIC over the counter?)
