dude...I live like 40 mins from Danville....holy **** I could totally go home

maybe you can crash at my parents house :3

 

How much do the rooms run Niburu?

there is a bunch of links on that page for hotels in the area
the best bet looks like the Ramada Inn at Stratford, it's $63 a night for a standard room.

 

my bad that was the Sun-Thurs rate i was looking at - it's 75 a night
I just booked it.
so now all I need is a roomate or 2

 

hmm so what sorts of things are there to do at one of these things?

 

have you gone to the link and seen how much stuff is going on?
http://www.gtlivetour.com/events/attractions.html
you"ve got several types of racing going on, drifting comp, motor cycle stunt comp, competitive car show, and hot womenz

 

oh....goody lol..
btw I should be getting an exchange of the strut. There was a tokico recall and asi had old stock. So I ended up getting an older one.

 

well that's a load of crap you got told, you'll note the spring fit fine over the original oem strut
it had nothing to do with how old the stock they sent you was, they just sent you the wrong one - period
it happens though and it's no reall biggy
Now if you're going to head down to VIR next weekend ya better get started on cleaning up that paint!
and fix the molding on the side whileyou're at it.

 

argh you make kittens cry >_<

 

What the hell does that mean??! Someone put that on a thread that I have going on nopistons. Have I been living under a rock or what?

 

My car's PO turned it pink with rubbing compound.

 

then he wore through the paint, was it originally white?

 

No, he stripped the clear off most of the hood and roof. What was Royal Maroon Metallic rapidly faded to pink in the Florida sun.

 

I use it as a general term of aggrivation, much in the way that someone might say you suck, or you are an annoyance, I can say you make kittens cry. However it is meant purely in jest and Niburu makes a valid point...btw I did fix the drivers side trim. It came RIIGHT off with no problems what so ever

 

If you'd see Cal's paint you'd wanna try some compound it. It's oxidized to the point where it looks more orange than red at night.
Bring the car by my house Friday night befor the Starbucks meetup Cal, I have some compound and a buffer.
We'll go over an out of the way spot once or twice lightly to see whats there.

 

when I got home I had a package form www.rx7world.com
all new shifter bushings and shifter boots
and a new driverside demister grille and hood rod retaining clip

 

Update:
She starts everytime, but not sure if fixed.

After it took over an hour to get the car on the tow truck, Robin was gracious enough to help me replace my starter after we unflooded the engine. But we didnt test the starter before replacing it. She started up on the first try after throwing that on so we thought the problem was solved, but the next time I tried (must have been within 10 minutes after I turned it off) got nothing. -Not the starter.
The issue is it wont start after the car is warm.
I bypassed the clutch inhibitor and still no go.
Tried leaving the turbo timer off, no go.
BUT
I have been using a different key for the past 3 days and she starts ALL the time. The key I had been using looks as if it had lost some sharp edges. Does this make sense? A gearhead down my street told me his ignition in one of his cars used to heat up, could some tolerances become out of spec when heated? (when turned in the 'on' position the accessories do turn on with the 'bad' key)

 

Its either your ignition switch that is faulty or possibly in combination with something else under the hood that loses contact when things heat up.
Keep using the key that works and let us know when it doesn't.
Turbo rotaries are famous for hot start problems BTW, especially the TII's but FD's had it too.

 

I had a problem at one time with starting my 7 when the engine was warm. Turned out to be a bad battery connection that acted up when the engine bay was warm. I only mention it as I have seen this problem happen to other FD owners.

 

niburu I just realized..I have no idea where you live lol. could you pm me your address?

 

PM sent - it's easy to find and hard to miss (two 7's in the driveway)

 

niburu sorry again for the whole car starting thing..anyhoo what was the site where you got those parts from. Also how much do I owe you for that shifter piece?
