well there is one other problem with the 185 tires on it right now, some stopped short in front of me the first weekend I had it and woth the panic stop I had to make all 4 tires have flat spots in them, they go thup thup thup , drives me up a wall. Got spoiled by the antilock brakes on my BMW I guess, so I don't stay as close behind anyone anymore, I try and stay way out in front. Also I still want too run the Ghia at least once.

Nice bike Mike! Watch out for all the mindless idiots out there on the road... my friend recently got torn up pretty bad because some ******* hit him on his bike.
Joe - I saw you turning onto Hull from the Kroger intersection. I was standing outside of Fridays when I thought I heard an RX-7, then I saw it was you. lol sounds good!

Anyone ever replace a front ball joint before? I ordered a new one yesterday and 3 dayed it so I can do it this weekend. I just hope there are no surprises. I gotta finally fix everything for the autoX weekend after next.

WD-40? Something is probably broken and your getting some metal to metal rubbing. The lateral link end is busted on my car so it squeaks a little.
Joe, how much of the main wiring harness was retained when you did the microtech install? Do you think this [microtech] would be best for a N/A to TII job? Would it avoid having to buy a TII harness and ECU all together? Just curious. Not like I have $1800 laying around to buy a TII motor and an LT8.

shouldnt be all that bad. ive never done one on a rx7, but you need to NAIL the joint with a hammer to get it out. it WONT come off easy as its a compression fit.

summit point was amazing this weekend.
i talked to an older guy that has a friend with a 20b convert that blew an apex seal. he says its been sitting for awhile and he wants it gone for "next to nothing". i gave him all my info and im going to see exactly what "next to nothing is" and if all goes through, i could be picking up a 20b fc.. not that im getting my hopes up, but it would be sweeeeeeeeeet

naw, i know who you are talking about, the white widebody covertable? i asked the guy twice if it was a widebody, or if the guy was on the forum, and he said no. i know that guy wants about 30k for that car doesnt he? its also a single turbo isnt it? this one is a twin turbo.
besides, i highly doubt someone is going to get rid of a 20b conversion for cheap, or atleast what i woud like to call cheap, but you never know
