Alright, need some help from you Richmond rotorheads. I have the chance to move to Richmond area for work. Looking to rent an Apartment as the job I have I am only home for about 10 days out of the month. So what are some nice apartments in the area. I am looking at what is offered, prices look good, but pictures can only do so much.

So what are some nice apartment complexes?

Looking for non-ghetto areas. No congestion, I like the cities, but hate living near them.

Any good info is appreciated. I have the option to live many places, but I chose richmond, because I lived in DC for 13 years. So help a fellow rotorhead out.


Thanks
Justin

Apt.

I would check out www.apartments.com. They have a majority of the apts in Richmond listed on there.

The Meadows on Rt. 1 is nice from what I have heard. Most of the complexes in the west end are nice. I would stay away from those that are managed by a company called GSC. If you see their name you can be pretty sure it is not a great part of town.

Sorry I can't give more specifics, but that is a start at least.

Do you the general location of where you will be working? Traffic can be a bitch in Richmond, so you may be able to minimize your commute time and have a fat pad...

Just thought I'd drop a line and see if it was ok to bring some Mazda 3 drivers by your Starbucks meetup. We're doing dinner at Joe's Inn at 7:30. After that some of us may be up for heading down to see some rotaries. Would that be ok with you guys?

^^^no, it is the smaller 2.5" downpipe and presilencer. If I recall, the HKS cat back exhaust is 60mm. The cat back is old school.

Hey guys, I have a couple big items for sale, that I'm not trying to ship. Figure I would see if any of you were interested.

I've got a 12a, about 1000 miles on the full rebuild rebuild. Street ported. All of the work was done by Chris Rogers in VA beach. Very experienced, did a great job for me. It was on my project car which I've given up on, been in the car for a few years, ran fairly frequently. $800

Full gsl-se suspension. The rear axle has been repainted, rotors turned, new brake pads, and axle bearings and seals. There is currently an open diff in it, but I have the LSD. The LSD is in good condition, but I tried replacing the pinino nut and seal without having a good idea of how to setup a rear diff. Not too smart on my part. I have the front strut assemblies also, but I havent done anything with them, there's surface rust, old brake pads, etc.. I'm asking $225. I also have a set of Eibach springs and tokico blues. About 1000 miles on those also. I'll throw those in for another $150.

I have all the glass to be found on a fb, transmission, (+) wheels with low mile sumitomos, and SE wheels with old tires. Make me an offer if interested.

My e-mail is rowelljl@vcu.edu if you are interested. Or you could always PM me.

your welcome down anytime, it's not a RX-7 meet only, plus we'd like to see some better variety besides a pack of EVO's and pack of Subies....yawn
