I wish I could come! It's killin' me knowin' you all are hangin' out messin' with your cars RIGHT NOW! Maybe tomorrow, but I doubt it. I'd love to help increase the FB number. I have to say though, I am a little intimidated by being around so many people who know a lot about their cars and I'm a total rookie with only 6 months of rotary ownership.

Well what a great turnout we had today!!! Thanks to all who made it. I think there must have been 20+ cars at one time. You guys had me runnin there for a bit. I hope I made a difference on some of those I tuned on a little.


We are planning on driving Hwy, 214 tomorrrow, it goes through Silverton and Silver Falls State park, and comes out in Stayton. Its about a 1.5 hour drive with some nice twisty windy turns!!
Maybe leave around 3 or so after some BBQ. Should be another fun day!!
Hope to see some of ya there again tomorrow.

We're all rookies to someone else.
No matter how much one knows, someone else knows more.
No matter how cool your car is, someone has a cooler one.
Be comfortable in what you have, not for how it measures against others.
I cried because I had no shoes, until I saw a man who had no feet.

After reading every post in this thread, I'm rubbing my eyes in disbelief. It's so cool to hear that RX-7 owners in the area are willing to share knowledge and talent so freely. If I can make it tomorrow I will. I've got so many ?'s about how my car is running, what I can do to maximize it's current potential, how to fix that damn oil leak, etc. Any plans of having another weekend like this any time this summer? I would love some help. I don't want a hand-out, just a hand-up.

After hanging out yesterday I found there to be some interest in parts I may have. If there is interest, I can bring this down today.

RB Header w/ exhaust rap - $50 ... sale pending
RB intake 12a manifold - $150
CP Racing 2nd Gen Triangulated Strut Bar - $75
Holley 390cfm Vac Sec Carb (choke delete) w/ sec metering block- $100
Flowmaster series 40 muffler x 2 (center in/offset out) - $50 for both

Everything is OBO... but, be fair

No need to clog the thread with sale chit-chat... just PM me if interested and i'll bring them down.

Pictures may be more or less flattering than in person. These ARE used items. The header has some small dents, but, no rust and the rear flange has been cut off (I still have the flange). Intake is dirty and can be cleaned up, otherwise in excellent condition. The strut bar has a few scratches on it, but, it's straight and true. Holley has been rebuilt less than 2 months ago, needs choke vac port plugged. The mufflers are welded together, but, easily seperated and sounded great when removed.

Yeah, Jinxed. I'd like to shake your hand and meet you after our recent heated exchange. The group does sound like a friendly and helpful bunch. Can't come today, but have a blast.

Ya'll left without me . Any ways still had a good time. too bad the turnout wasn't as big as yesterday.

Thanks barney1omm, and beargogerr for the parts. I can finally have some real mods, not just no a/c and strait piped.

That was funny when the random FC pulled in.

Anyways Bob, and Rob. You should do this again in the near future. I really enjoyed coming out.

It would be great to see you @ the Forged BBQ.
