Well I had a productive day! Went to CAP to get the parts I needed for my Civic to pass inspection, and low and behold I found myself an RX-7! I've been there so many times it'd be impossible to count and never found one. Pulled me an undertray:


A coil (which I got for free because the marker guy didn't write on it! NOT stolen!) and plug wires:


An S5 underlip, which I accidentally erased the picture of... and a rare 3 piece stock spoiler!!!


Also, worked for about two hours removing This:




I love the parts yard...

I was there today too. I saw that 7, but somehow I missed the wing or you had already pulled it.

You got the engine too?

Were you? What time were you there? I got there at two, the wing was actually a couple rows up from the seven. I saw that first, pulling some parts from a Civic, and I was like... OMG... that looks like... omg... It is!! WHERE IS IT?? WHERE IS IT?!?!? Lol...

I tried to get the engine, but the tranny bolts stunted me, as I didn't have a 14mm wrench with me. I got most of the rest of it apart and ready to pull, but that's where I ran into an issue. A "complete motor" including manifolds costs 140$, but a "Long Block" costs 50$. I always thought the long block included the manifolds, no? I don't have the $140, but I've got the $50. Either way I'm going back tomorrow after it stops raining to try to swing it.

Alex, you wouldn't happen to have been the one that jacked the ECU were you?

Sorry guys, I wasn't there this Friday.

After 3 years, I've made up with one of my ex-girlfriends. She's the one that's been on my mind all these years. Although, I've closed the gap, it's still really big... I'm going to try and close that gap.

I'll show up next week though. I'll try to show up in the RX7, so I'll need to try and go out early.

Bring the Chicky with you too!

Well guys, I was gonna wait till I got some decent pictures, but yesterday was too cloudy and it looks like today will be no different... I'm selling the two S4's I've got. Gonna try to concentrate on the black S5. The Blue car runs and drives but has a leaky injector or something, it floods very easily. The white car was the donor so it's missing a bunch of parts critical to making it run, but it didn't run well anyways, it needs to be rebuilt, the coolant seals are very much gone. As in it overheated in like 5 minutes the last time I tried to drive it. I'm asking $500 each. I believe most of you know their conditions, but just give me a call if your interested, 804- two one eight- eight four six eight.

There are waaay too many fish in the sea to focus all of your attention on the one that won't talk to you! Especially while still in school.

hahaha, well, we'll see, just trying to fix some things I guess. Better to have more friends than to have more enemies right?

PS. I don't want to wake up with an FD that needs a lot of body work.

If he's as hard headed as he is about what car he gets, he won't listen to your advice.

Then you need to date a girl I know named Palmolina. She'll never do you wrong.
