Hey joe, the guy who owns my shop (who also owns a wrx) said we can all meet at his shop on saturdays. It's at the corner of boulevard & leigh street. The parkinglot isn't that big, but judging from last weekend it should be big enough. Worst comes to worst it doesn't work one saturday and that's that. www.deltavmotorsports.com is our website. if you can get in touch with any of the other people from the meets tell em about it if you could. if you're free sometime you can drive by the parkinglot and see if it'll suffice, just go up boulevard and it's on the right if you're going from broad to near the diamond, it's in between there. There are a ton of cars parked there during the weekdays, but weekends it's empty except for maybe a car or 2 (which can be moved.)

When did they stop by? If you say that you're waiting for others to go inside and get food/drinks, they leave. Or if you get drinks and bring them out afterwards, you can tell them you were spending money. That blows at any rate...

This place you're, they have euro cars out all the time? If so, I already know where that is!

yeah they normally have british cars sitting outside. The usual suspects are a super 7, a few MGs, a triumph or two, and a black ferrari. All those go inside though. I dunno if we can't come back to short pump, or if people are just gonna go back and get drinks like you said or something. This lot is open though, so if people want to come they can. I think it's big enough but I'm not sure. We always seem to be able to park a ton of cars outside.

The people came by at like 8:45. Lemme know if people want to meet there, Jeff can bust out the rally car. It'd be good exposure for the shop, and a good worry free place for people to meet.

Hehe, negative on the sprite. He got an A2 GTi that he's had some fun with, parts are super cheap for those cars. What's your name? Seems everybody in the world knows joel.

ive been doing a lot of meditating on the subject, and i have decided to hold on to my 7 for the moment...selling it was very tempting though. i have to now make the choice as to whether i should get my engine rebuilt, buy a jspec engine, which i heard is a shot in the dark, or buy a rebuilt engine...id like to hear everyones input, any advice is much appreciated. thanks...

tail lights repainted. Only difference is they aren't as glossy as they were when I first got it. But honestly I think it looks better. Gonna do the side molding tommorow. Zach, whats that website where you showed how you take the front end off? I'm hoping this summer is the summer I fix all the problems with the car.

Something else you can try, is putting the AFM back to where it's not upside down! I did a little searching yesterday, and found that in **some** cases that an upside down AFM can lead to problems. My other thought would be to pull the wires from the plug of the BAC and insert them without the plug to just make sure that the BAC is getting a connection (just in case).
