That was great. How often do you go out there Brian?

Thanks. I just started doing track days in March, and this was my 4th event. I'm going back in oct on the 15/16 with carguys. If anyone's interested check out www.carguys.com (but their website sucks, so e-mail them if you want more info). It'd be great to get a lot of people out there.
If you feel like watching the whole session it's here:

The other video is the first 2 laps from that.

Speaking of, ever end up parting out that TII engine? I still need a front cover and few assorted pipes and peices.

Jayson,
Are you parting out the whole car? I could use some interior bits, I've managed to bust a few plastic pieces pulling the Hoosiers in and out of the car, and the warning lights cluster surround shattered on me this past winter. Anyway let me know if you wanna sell them or not.
That's what I need to find - a black 90 parts car.

I'm trying to keep this as 'rolling' as possible for awhile, so I can move it in and out of the garage. I might just take a whole weekend of work though, strip it complete, and then it's a non-issue.
Last time I was at my house in the Tidewater, I tried grabbing a whole suspension for you. UNfortunately, the bolt that attaches the front of the lower control arm has seized to the subframe. I might be able to take a torch with me next time I'm down and get it - so eh, I dunno.
I do have that S5 turbo motor broken down - I could probably rid myself of a front cover and stuff - Papa needs a new cell phone :-)
Give me a call when day when we can get together and we can work something out - I live in the West End now (Woodman/Hungry)

I'm 99% sure that I've got a few spare black surrounds. The interior is pretty rough on this car, but I might have some of the stuff your looking for. Best bet is to call me after 5pm some afternoon when you can come and have a looksee. 804.687.6199.
And of course, I can always trade you Hoosiers for interior parts ;-)

Does the car still run? Are you able to get it to the West End - just a quick run down I-295 to the Woodman exit?
Give me a call AFTER 5pm one afternoon and we can discuss - 804.687.6199
I swear, you guys are the true buzzards of the RX-7 world. I haven't seen this much activity in this thread in months :-)

Seriously though, I've been driving my POS Dodge Stealth for two months since the 7's been dead with that wheel bearing issue. Sure it has torque, but that's it... I keep thinking, at least it was made in Japan.

It's the obesity and unreliability that makes people call them DSM's

Kai,
Have you had a chance to tear that engine down? I am interested to see what kind of shape the internals were in. Did you still want the wiring harness plugs? I remember you saying you were going to need them for the Haltech. Let me know.

Yeah, I can still use the harness left-overs. That reminds me, I found one of your engine lift hooks on the engine, you probably want that back.
