Wish to god I had Photoshop it would have looked way better, this a quick job in MS Paint.
What I wanna do when it comes time for the real paint job is paint the whole car (except the silver bit) in satin or flat black and the silver part in more of a gun metal with a high amount of silver fleck.
Also replace the rear spoiler with a Mazdaspeed style lip spoiler, need a front spoiler too.
First thing though needs new suspension.

So upon leaving the meet on Friday night, all my idiot lights cam on. Immediately i thought, great my alt just died. Then a little further down the road they all went off. Seemed strange but even stranger is they all came back on a few minutes later. Looked down at my voltmeter and it was off the scale over 16 volts. Pulled over disconnected battery and alternator. Let it sit for a few then hooked it all back up. Now all the lights come on but my volts are about 11 or so. I think the alt is gone but wont know till i get it tested at Advanced. Anyone with similar problems?

p.s. Don't forget to send me that list Dave

that was one of the best laid out autocross I've ever been on
I wish I had my black FC for that instead of the underpowered, all original parts, and all season tire wearing Miata- as fun as that was
How bout all those spinouts right in front of ya Zack was that cool or what?
And robin got to me come across the finish sideways once or twice i believe.

How about a used motor - proven autoX winner!!!!! I can sell you that!!! The GTU is just sitting/rotting since I've stopped autoXing. The motor is certainly for sale for very cheap.

Hey Dave, you up for the next Gran Turismo event (remember our talk during Jayson's bachelor party)? We are planning one for November 23rd and could use some drivers/TV providers/playstation providers/router and cables providers.

Its good to see the Richmond RX-7 owners group is still going! I've started a legacy! I should have charged membership fees, though..... damn.
Zach, pleasure to i-Meet you! ;-) Just wondering if you still had that spare motor laying around somewhere I could pick up from you? Let me know man! Thanks! Hope to meet you for real some day!

I'd say I was somewhere near the bottom of the list, but once I stopped spinning the car the times got better - just ask Robin, giver of the timeslips.
I believe my best was a 56.6 which is pretty crappy but with nothing done to the car I didn't expect much

haha, yes, you did come through sideways a few times. There were a few cars that made me pretty nervous though, some people waited waaaay too long to get on the binders.

I think I placed 6th overall. According to the times Jon posted I would be in third I think, but that 46.xxx time was not me....wish it was!

WHOA 6TH in the most competitive class? That's a big step up from 13th, hahaha. I think now you just need a Supercharger under that hood to get to 1st, lol.

I NEED A SUPRA FUEL PUMP!!!!!

Possibly. I need to get the harness back in my car and get the radiator filled with the cooling stuff again though.
