Nice...again I miss another one. Ever so close though...

I suspect that they will get better if we keep this thread on fire. Just gotta spread the word a little more. I see a few FC's around my way but I doubt they are on the forums. If you see someone give them a heads up on the meet. I'm sure they'll be down.

thats how we got a half dozen random 8's out because of word of mouth

i thought i would make it out next tuesday but im wrong, wont have a sticker by then.. and my car is 3 tone lol.. goin to the booth soon.. but ill stil come out til then

My FC isn't it great shape. And my inspection rejection sticker is expired but I still went. I guess that kinds dumb but oh well, that how bad I wanted to go. If anything going to the meet has only reinforced my love for rotors. Much money soon to be spent! And I have no problem with that!!! Chris is you new "stuff" gonna be on by the next meet?

On another note its 80 degrees!!!!

my front and hood is on.....depending on the weather i may have the rear finished

Looks like rain all week next week but if not, ill be there again.

My front looks like ish in those pictures. I am going to try to atleast get another coat of primer on it before this weekend.

Chris- what was the charity show you were talking about this Sunday at the Whiskey Cafe? I am probably going to show up since its for charity and all.

Hey Chris, it was nice meeting you and the other's, too bad I could not stick around for the end, priority comes first so I had to leave maybe next time.
Khris

Can't make it. I'll be supporting my woman with the March of Dimes Sunday. There won't be any rotors tho...

i hope it doesnt rain.....if it holds off im definately there

i thought i noticed a familiar car.
how long do you guys usually stay there for? the earliest i can leave to go there is like 930pm and its about 25 miles.

If it happens, I will be there.

we are there usually from 8pm till 12ish......depending on when the last stragglers bounce

Hehe, Mine should have been sprayed 3 weeks ago...Ran into problems with the booth.

Been driving around with the unpainted bumper and it looks like its got a bra on it not that bad....lol

Damn and i felt sorta embarassed cause i bought my car with a faded/peeling rear spoiler.

You guys are riding around with unpainted bumpers and stuff lol.

I need to get my rear spoiler painted already.

damn chris.. i dont get a close-up shot??? i get to be in the backround of other people..

Compared to most of the other rx brethren my car is hideous in a very nostalgic way. Cons FC looks good. Since mine is the only other comparison, I come up short!:hahaha: My whole car is faded. I also have a few cancer spots I need to address! Speaking of, I'm in need of a good body shop. Any recommendations? :scratch:

Where in nj are you located?

Theres a shop in newark (yeah i know lol) that painted my front bumper. He mostly works on exotics like ferraris so thats why i went with him. When i picked up my bumper, he had a bentley GT coupe in there.

You were at last tuesdays meet? I didnt see/meet you? Unless you came after i left, i did leave early.

Mostly likely I came after you had already gone. I parked a few spots away from chris.
I'm in Paterson so Newark is more like home. What are his prices like? I imagine dealing with exotics he isn't exactly cheap. My car is the red FC in those pics last page.

ok next time ill bring a tri-pod and get every one in.....i suck at taking pics!.....and i got a damn good shop as you saw!

i need paint too.. my FD.. where do i go? a number would be good too

I dont wanna blow up his spot because he is a GOOD friend of my dads but my passenger headlight cover AND my bumper, he charged me WELLLLL under 500 bucks. I dont wanna give an exact cost but it was cheap. I was ready to pay him with a check but it was soo cheap, i gave him cash.

Yeah you def came after i left because i only noticed 4? rx7s total. I was actually not gonna come at all because i have work super early the next day but i promised id show.

If it doesnt rain this week, ill prob go again but i have to leave early again :(

Maybe we should hit up the starbucks and chug on caffeine so we can stay awake lol

Does he give free estimates?

I would assume so but you have to bring the car/part in to him first.

For one, he doesnt speak any english. He's brazilian.

And 2, he doesnt know our type of cars enough to give a good estimate. I wanted to get a quote for my rear spoiler and he said he has to see it. I just wanted a ballpark figure but he doesnt give ballpark figures.

He wants to see the actual thing he's painting and you're gonna get a price right there and then.

That's no problem. I'd be more than happy to bring it down to him. I understand a good amount of Portuguese being Latino myself. Does he only paint cars/parts? I need a fair amour of body work done...

bump for toooooooooooosday

A little rain won't hurt. But unfortunately I cant make it.

it aint raining and its gonna be perfect boost temps

Made it! A little chilly but right on the money with the comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to meet all you guys! I wish I could have stayed longer but I barely made it home in time.

maybe next week or i might wait til my car is painted

I feel that, believe me!!! those of you out there tonight, you know...Still, I had the chance so I went.
Eventhough I drove down by myself and I have an untuned half bridge the ride was FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lets plan for next week!

im so glad you came out.....hopefully as the weather warms we can have some mass meets bridging the gap between the gens......my car will be complete by tuesday i will for sure have it out

Was putting in my ebay bulbs and didnt finish in time. Only got it done this morning.

Next week for sure ill be there weather permitting.

ok so who is gonna commit to coming this week.....lets make it a big meet......we need fb's fc's and fd's repping!!

Ill be there chris. Only for you though. ;)

how do i get there again?.. my car looks like shit on the outside but whatever ill come by for a little..

Ok, if youre using mapquest, try LOWES 150 instead of 10 and everything else stays the same.

later,
Manny

You crazy kids and your body kits/paintjobs!!!!!! DAMN Good though! IT STICKS OUT NO MATTER WHAT! mission accomplished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyone kno of a good body kit specialist? i need my car painted too but my bumper doesnt fit right. the hood doesnt line up right.. otherwise it fine.. anyone kno of a good place? im in the elizabeth area...

dude did you click the link i posted?

damn chrism nice car, can't wait until mine is up and running so I can come out and see it!

yeah i seen it but i didnt realize the info was there... are you 100% happy with the work they did? if you dont mind me asking how much was your car to paint? my body shop doesnt do body kits and they still want 6k$

im 100% satisfied with the work but i cant say how much i paid......i send him allot of business so it woulndt be fair......as it sits right now there is an 8 in his shop and tomorrow there will be an FC.....he isnt maaco priced but he isnt unreasonable either....you can see his work tomorrow night because a bunch of his cars will be there......he also might show up so you can ask him too....
