Well, I only drove one way (to NC) But yeah it was fun. And thanks I really didn't think my car was that stiff and whatnot. I have more confidence in my car now. However I don't think I'll be going back to the dragon or on any long trips until my exhaust is fixed. I was so tired and sick when I got home.. I'm glad hardees gave me some water. haha.

I'm sorry but I have forgotten your name again.. I think it's the fumes. I think I remember everyone else.. I could probably guess it if given a list too.

New Priority list:
Exhaust (or fix leaks)
Tires
Radiator (hopefully I'll be getting Derrick's.)

Hey Lizard, remember when we were talking about headers or leaving the stock manifold.. well read posts 10-12. These guys say that there is no difference unless you have a carbed setup. So I don't know.. I'll probably just go with the downpipe and bonez free flow cat from rx7.com or make a downpipe and buy Derrick's presilencer. I'm kinda strapped for cash and if there isn't really any or much to be gained. I can always get a header later if someone has one up for sell and a good price.

Yeah sorry if I hogged your car. Driving up there is pretty addictive. I'm surprised the car didn't understeer with those front tires being in that kind of shape. Hopefully you'll get all that stuff done before DGRR. My name is Jimi, btw. Yours is Eric, right? I think I just called you Yeti the whole time because it's less confusing.

Well I'd trust RB, they've put a lot of R&D into their stuff. Besides, the downpipe/cat combo is probably cheaper anyway. High flow cats are kind of a waste though, it's better just to install a test pipe.

Jimi! yes I remember now!.. haha. Well I was wanting a free flow cat so maybe the exhaust wouldn't smell quite as bad. But yeah I think I'll figure something out. Oh yeah Yeti is want my friends call me here. So I'm used to being called yeti.

Edit: You should put the pictures up on flickr. I think the space is unlimited and such and you can put tags and whatnot.. I think the only think you can't do it hotlink.

Whats the excuse this time freddie? It was a nice day though, didnt get any rain or what not until the very end of the return trip from the dragon. We had a great turn out this weekend, which is unusual since someone always ends up with problems after a good day. Jimi! Hurry up with them pics man, i wanna kill some modems already >.>

Pics!Pics!Pics!

Olright fellers!, this weekends meet had a great turnout, too bad some of us couldn't make it to the dragon, but we made progress on some other things. We're know moving forward on our tee's and will have them by next meet, so for those of you who ordered be sure to make it. And for those who still want one please try to get a hold of me witin the next week. We want to try to represent knoxville at DGRR!!! So here are some pics of this weekends meet!






Way to be D! He was real adament on standing next to his 7! Lol!

FC's Straight UP!


The trick was to see who could run trough all the sevens the quickest....











Like I said, A great Turnout. Don't forget If you see a sevn tell'em about the meets. Someone mentioned sticking a decal on there car with our name. I think that's a great idea! I'll look into it, maybe a cling-on sticker so we don't damage their 7.
Anyway next meet's at advance auto on Mar 10th at Cedar Bluff and Middle Brook 1pm.


I should have some updates on the mazda dealership, "that be sweet!".

I saw another 7 the other day on Chapman highway right by Henley St. bridge. It was a blue vert that looked like it was in great shape. An older guy was driving it. I think it was an S4 but there was traffic and I didn't want to hit anything so I didn't get a great look.

Oh, and I saw freddie Friday night right by Maryville campus. Damn you making me drool...

Sorry for the delay guys... photos are coming later tonight. I was out all day today so I didn't get a chance to sort through everything (I probably shot at least 50 pictures yesterday). Louis, those shots are awesome! Nice work with the graphics and everything. Sorry about hitting your car, you should really paint it something more visible
