rex has awaken!! damn i smell like exhaust

 

O.o

 

You sure it wants that? That's like asking a butcher to do a rhinoplasty. I might be able to swing out this weekend. What exactly does it need? I know that front needs some attention.

 

W00t! Glad you got it running. Time for another meet.

 

i can meet anytime after 4 in thet next few days if anyone wants to meet some where. im gonna be packing up to move friday i would have to take the tags from the honda and hope i dont get pulled over

 

Oh geez, I didn't realize you were leaving that soon. Anyone up for a mini-meet tomorrow afternoon?

 

yeah, i been kinda a lazy rotary keeper. i never knew there was a local rotary club, or i would have been around earlier. the move and getting married, i was thinking of selling it, i just dont really have time to mess with it anymore

 

Eh...some light bondo patching and such...fixing he spoiler's just normal lil things.

sorry bout the mini meet, kinda on the low fuel side of things

 

How'd you find out about us? We try to get the word out the best we can. Usually we leave notes on unknown cars and stuff... I think we've probably horrified most of them and convinced them to sell their cars and move overseas.

Derrick is outta gaaas, how sad. Usually I'm the one in that boat. Oh, and I made a boo-boo while testing the Cheeto's gas mileage... the tank wasn't full! I found out that the pump will usually shut off a gallon or two early. The rest needs to be hand squeezed. So this time I filled it all the way up and I'm predicting 20mpg. If I fix the alignment and drive more sanely I should be able to do better.

 

its been a while since i had the t2 out and about. i kinda felt like it was an eye sore and an embarasment to the rotary name, and planed to get it looking better. i have had it about 10 yrs now.
i dont think its in the rotary to get 20mpg, even the rx-8 has a hard time to get over 20. its possible, if your a grandma lol

Haha... an eyesore... you should have seen the Cheeto a few months back. Half white, half orange, with orange blotches smeared here and there. It still isn't winning any shows. The TII isn't anywhere near perfect either. RX-7's are like people, most of them aren't that pretty.

Derrick does 20+ mpg in his N/A. The Cheeto is running a completely stock 12A so it's not too much to ask. That and I mostly drive interstate to work and back everyday. Now for a turbo rotary, 20 is pretty out of reach.

 

Hey now... I could get 20-21mpg in my TII... all highway and never putting my foot into it

 

lol yeah, 20+ is with the foot on the floor AND lookin like *** with a busted bumper and windscreen

 

Battle Cattle, I've ridden with you... your foot is always in it. I think you've been in the desert too long!

 

page one has picks of your first meet where i see cheeto, not hard to miss.
like i say you can get 20 mpg, if you drive like grandma and try for it

 

yeah, but then again, my t2 never got more than 15mpg, with or without my foot in it, hell even with my foot in it my na gets 20+

 

I dunno my TII's actual mileage because I can't remember the last time I put a full tank in that car. It takes like 50 bucks to fill that thing up, and one trip to the dragon to empty it back out. Last time I drove it up 129, I literally ran out of gas as I pulled into the gas station near my house on the way home. I had to push it to the pump! It probably runs pretty rich which will come in handy if I ever start to upgrade anything.

 

Good to see ETRC is still up and running... I'll have to meet up once I get the bitch, er, car, running again...

It turns out it doesn't like sitting in a bath of its own coolant for 18 months after a coolant seal lets go. Fortunately, looks like only minor pitting on the front and middle irons, and the rotor seems to be in good shape, if I can get it to let go of a few stubborn seals. If not, then there's two cores in the barn, so maybe between the three of them I can build a working motor...

 

18 months in coolant can't be good for any motor. Good luck rebuilding it. Got anything special planned for it?

 

Nothing beyond what it had -- powerFC, larger primary injectors, m2 medium intercooler, AEM ignition booster, no emissions, etc. I plan on adding a wide band this time around.

It had ~320rwhp when Steve Khan made it to Knoxville; I hope to get back there.

 

No porting, eh? If you've still got everything from your first build then getting it back shouldn't be too hard. Bring it out to a meet when you can. It'll probably be a month or two before we have another official one.

 

O.o whoa! MORE PEOPLE!!! y'know...if we could ever get everyone to show up to one meet, wed fill that parking lot...

 

No joke, we get a ton of new people that post on here and then vanish. I guess we scare them off. Just look at Steiny, one meet with us and he's running to Nashville the next week

 

lol seems that way haha, and when you coming down to work on the beast's cosmetics?
