I work on the 777 - FBJ. I drive it every now and again but not too often.

I also have seen a white FC with a black hood and front bumper on nice rims, looks preety good, tuned?

CHUCK!! hey how are you? How is your 7 running?! Last time we talked you were getting the interior put back together. I work for Boeing now too!! I am down in renton.

Hi Chris,
Car is all back together and I drive it on those rare nice days weve had. Boeing will be a good career move for you in the long run. How long have you been at Boeing? How is your car doing, is it your daily driver?

I drive it every other day since I carpool. Just hit 80k on the chasis and 15k on the engine. I want to get the suspension done in the next 6 months it is getting a little soft in the rear, and I slightly warped left front rotor (THE BRAKE KIND) that needs replacing but other than that the car is running good. The fan mod still works so I am happy about that. I have been here just over a month. I am planning to move down here shortly after new year so I don't have to commute 26miles to work. I just hope I move before my insurance company finds out!! =)

you can look me up in BLUES and send me an email at work. I am 10-16.2 building part of AFM-DPI working on the performance section of the Flight Manuals. Give me a call if you are down this way for a meeting or something and we can do lunch if it works out.

Does anyone in here take there seven to the autox meets that are held there on the weekends?

mulder9927

Lol My friend just got a job over there and he keeps telling me about all the 7's that he sees in the parking lot.. small world huh?

rx7sportscar

When I get a chance I do. Work has taken over my weekends so I did not get out but once this year. I plan on going again next season if I don't sell my car (I either have to sell it, or rebuild the engine). When I go to the BEAC practices, I'm usually the only FC around. I usually have one of the older cars as well.

I usually see the white FC with the black hood when Im going home from 2nd shift, same parking lot. Nice looking vehicle. Been wondering if I will catch the owner at some point.

I dropped the tranny out last night. I got that nasty crap all over me! And to my suprise, that thing is LIGHT! Now its just the clutch stuff. Its literally sitting right there for me to take off, and replace...
