Loving your FD. It looks really nice. I might drop out there this Friday in the FD.

Honestly though, I lived in Vancouver for one winter when I was 13. The main reason why I was there for a whole winter was because we couldn't leave the damn house because there was a damn blizzard. It was around -30 and like 2 feet of snow outside. The cold that we have in Virginia is nothing. I was at Starbucks with a track jacket on, hahaha.

hahaha probably not. How much do you know about the FDs in terms of rebuilding engines? =]

Also, mechanical prowess?

Looks like I may actually get time to head on down Friday, I'll be at 40hrs for the week at end of today. So the next 2 or 3 days I can just work 8hr days.

tt 13b93 are you on Tampa Racing forums?

My car isn't really the best looking, but after I finish everything mechanical I'm going to work on the body. I'm going to be working on interior while I have the engine out though. I might paint the car myself, but that might not turn out very well, but i"ll have to see, hahahaha. Here are some pictures:








Also, I had to throw in this picture:


The perfect FC. That's the car I want one day. Yes, I prefer an FC over FD, hahaha.

Lol, I don't prefer it enough to trade straight up, however, if you can get the FC to the specs of the one in the picture (it was sold a little while ago for 7k and it was built) and look like the one in the picture, I'll trade with 5k on your end. It's a steal if you ask me ; ]

And some of the most freezing nights like last week and around 15 cars show up. It really depends on the mood I guess, but last week as just overflowing. I might pop out there again tomorrow though. I don't know though, I would have to see first.

I may drop in also tonight, I used to show at 7pm but most dont come till closer to 8pm. Not sure which I will drive if I go, I live like 1 mile away but I am always to lazy to show. If I go I will either bring my z32 or the companies 09 rx8, the rx8 is filthy......its a matter of whether or not I remember its tonight 8pm rolls around. If I can get a coworker to roll with me.

Well I dont have the tools or a stand to do anything, I can always ask a coworker if he is interested, he was a Nissan mechanic before now and is working on getting his master technician certification now.....not that that training even applies to rotary engines....but I dont know if he wants to do side jobs anymore. If I had the tools I would probably down for work but I left any tools I had in california when I moved here. Tell me what you want done I will run it by him. We haven't been trained on rx7's but its pretty much the same concept outside of a few bolts/studs being in different places.

I probably wont come out tonight, being married sorta changes your plans unfortunately but when weather gets nice I will be out there a few times.
