Yeah and don't forget the conversion factors...

$1000 on a Honda = 20HP
$1000 on an RX-7 = 100HP

Yeah I know, rotary daily driver = bad idea. That's why I have two. Although it really sucks when they both go down at once like they did last month. So I guess it's a good idea to put money into the Civic if it's for reliability and upkeep.

That's pretty bad when you replace the motor twice as often as the clutch.

That could be arranged, there's a lot of parks in Northshore which isn't that far at all. I gotta go get ready and fill up all the stuff that's leaking before I leave. See you guys at 4:30.

Anytime a bunch of guys have to push start an FB in a relatively flat parking lot, it's a fun meet. I'm glad it started at Sonic though... push starting it down Kingston Pike in that traffic would have been a little hazardous. Here's the pics!































No, the pics aren't in the wrong order. Today actually went backwards. We met at Sonic and it got earlier from there.

Lou drove it in, first time I've ever seen him in a 7. And then it flooded nicely and took about 20 minutes to get started... gotta love first gens.
