It is not my head that swells when I think about those numbers...

I think with the haltech and the fmic and some other goodies I will at least be able to get pretty close to 300.

Zach, you can buy alcohol at the abc store tonight just in case you did not know. Any plans for tomorrow night?

Everyone: Anybody know of anyone that is hiring in Richmond? I don't want to have to worry about the economy having a direct reflection on my paycheck anymore, it is a pain in the ***. Any ideas??

I'll be out at the bar tonight at 12:01 to order a drink, but since I'm a damn engineering student I won't be doing much partying since I have 800,000,00,0,0,000,000000 things due every week.

I think McDonalds would be a good place; since we live in Fat America you'll always have good burger sales. What is it up to, 8 billion sold now? You could even be a manager and get your picture on the wall.

my friend marcus that was at the dyno day called rosen about them putting the sr20det into his 240, they said they cant do it because they are closing down sometime after the first of march. i dont know of any other dyno around here. that really sucks, even though i only went there that one time, it seemed like a badass shop. guess we will have to find another dyno

Damn Forum, I keep losing my subscription to this thread. I don't understand. That really sucks about Rosen closing. Zach, this is our chance, we could buy the property for cheap, redo the shop and open a RX-7 specialty shop?!

David, which Hooters do you go to where you can see nipple?!!!

I heard about Rosen closing as well. That really sucks. I thinkg their is a dyno in the Hanover Industrial park.

Happy Birthday Zach.

I'm with you RGordon. I haven't ever seen anything close to a nipple at Hooter's.

you can see more of a nipple than you can at titty bar around here,at least when its cold out and you swing the door open really fast and the hostess gets a cool breeze you can see the headlights turn on,thats better than a duct taped nipple with a pastie(IMO),we got to chester all the time like rob said you gotta watch out for all the dust,lol these one waitress i went to school with just insisted that the place was just full of dust (some kind of clean freak or something) it was just the beer intensifying the moment you just had to be there i guess,That sucks about rosen where the hell i going to get my car dynoed now??? damn that sux just ruined my whole day finding that out

rob: i keep losing the subscribtion to this post to i dont get emails anymore since they updated the site?????dont know what the hell is going on i resubscribe but still no emails.
BTW. what happened to zach he go on a wild mad man drinking spell or what?he hasnt posted in 2 whole days WTF?????? ZACH=

Thanks guys, I'm getting all emotional. You actually remembered.

Yeah, I spent most of Wednesday hugging the toilet. My head hurt too much to look at the computer screen.

Alright Rob, this is our chance. Lets buy Rosen and open up ECMT. I'm already in debt, so whats a few more thousand in business loans?

I've started up a Spec RX-7 Racing program at VCU. I'm waiting for our tax ID number so I can open up a bank account and start getting money. The plan was to raise about 1G and then look for a car, but a guy in VA Beach is going to give us one with no engine! All we have to do is go pick it up. Next step is to find a 12A somewhere. I guess CAP would be cheap, but I want to know if it runs since a rebuild will cost so much. Any suggestions?

so its a first gen?

i think the motor that was on the first gen was in good condition. it as 180k on it, but it had alot of new stuff on it (ie: brake rotors and such) worth a shot. i would of pulled it but i had my car and i wasnt about to carry a motor in my rex

A spec 7 would be an awesome project. I wanted to build one a year ago but my wife said no more cars.
You may want to check with Rosen. They may have one available??

I don't think that they'd have one...I could be wrong.

However, Sportscars LTD (1300ish cary st, right hand side after the church) has 2 FBs (not SA) that look like parts junkers. If you find out the mileage on both, let me know!! (I still need a rear end *bad diff* and a motor for my 83 *burns oil*)

No, there were a few freshman at the meeting I talked to but I don't remember their names. Could be him.

I already have the car. It's an 85 down in VA Beach. No dash, stripped interior, no tranny or engine. We're going to pick it up next week. A friend in SAE (society of automotive engineers) has a garage we can keep it in and we're thinking about rebuilding the engine in the hibay of the engineering building.
Once I get the car and take a look at it, I'll make a list of stuff I'll need and it'll be road trip to CAP to do some wrenching. Do me a favor and keep and eye out for an engine & tranny. I can't use another car because I have no place to keep it.
