I'm chilling at the house today and available if anyone wants to get together. Too hot to be under a car wrenching. Think I'll save that for tomorrow morning.

right before i left for afghanistan there was a nice looking in foss u-pull it, had rb exhaust on it, some other parts, basically a complete cart, non turbo though. may have some stuff that you could use on it, or take the brakes, look like fd brakes, not sure if they are the same or not, definitely worth a look!

Ohh, and hi, im john, i work on cherry point, i have a 93, was ssm, now its a ford color dsg. once i get back i have to change the pilot bearing and then she will be back up and running.....for a few days at least.

When will you be back?

May have to go take a look at that one! But I just finished my rebuild with a large streetport and just broke her in! Soon will be getting a rtek 2.0 then she will be rolling!

just got out here a month or so ago, wont be back until april or may...hopefully....so long as another uav squadron replaces us....or maybe sooner, last time we were out here for a whole 5 months, so who knows, no one can make up their minds nowadays. do you live in nugent cove? saw a white fc, and a black/green(not sure) back in there, along with some nice 240. Im back in binder oaks.

bought my fd for a little under 6 grand, rebuild the engine with a mild port from pineapple, power fc, and didnt grease up the pilot bearing(at least thats all i can think it to be) enough when i put everything back together, hoping and praying i didnt trash my input shaft. I really need a good rotary tuner, most likey buying some bnr twins and some kind of intercooler when i return. fun fun!! make it back for most of the auto-x season!

Nah I live across from the airstation, I own a red s5 but I'm also looking for a good rotary tuner but the people I've talked to said the closest people they recommend is in Raleigh. But I've heard also good things about national speed in Wilmington but I'm unaware of their knowledge about rotaries.

yeah, I've heard Charlotte and Raleigh, both pretty darn far for a car that i worry driving back and forth to work in lmao! wonder whos cars those are on base then.

looks like i either need to get the ***** to drive my car to raleigh or get a trailer, first things first i am pretty sure i need some new solenoids, when the secondaries supposed to come on in first boost just dies, fine in the rest of the gears, but i need to fix that before i worry about tuning.

National speed knows nothing about rotaries. The were willing to do a compression test for me if I bought the tester. That didn't give me any confidence in them.

I think that may have been my FC you saw. Didn't think there were any other RXs up at Cherry Point. I haven't seen any since I got here.

What's the word jacksonville? Haven't seen but one black fd lately out of the 7s anyone doin anything?

iTrader: (2)

The scene is pretty dead around here. I know there are a few of us down in Havelock, but no meet-ups or anything. From what you're saying Jacksonville looks to be much the same way.

newkid2rotary2012

iTrader: (3)

Yeah I've going to these cars and coffee meets up in Wilmington lately. I always get one or two people come up and talk about our cars. But it just seems eastern Carolina is a rare place to find them nowadays.

iTrader: (2)

Suppose we could try to jump start things. Would you be down for meeting up in like Maysville?

newkid2rotary2012

iTrader: (3)

Thats doable lil far but doable!

iTrader: (2)

Well what's good for you? I don't mind making a drive.

newkid2rotary2012

iTrader: (3)

You said your from havelock? Right!

iTrader: (2)

Yes.

ahh, maybe its you then, its always parked under one of the old house car ports, I've only seen one other FD but he just moved to Cali. Soon as I get back from Afghan I've got a new intercooler, short throw, turbo control solenoids, R1 lip, pillowballs, and about to get a radiator I think. Still haven't bought the part that's actually wrong with the car yet......wasn't aware that pilot bearings didn't come prelubed so that bad boy seized up

Im looking at buying a fd.....maybe in the future, if anyone is selling or knows where one is please let me know!
