Saturday, August 26th

All East TN (or wherever the hell you're from, we don't care) RX-7's and rotaries invited. We'll be meeting in the closed Target parking lot next to the Sonic on N. Broadway, and we'll probably just pull in to Sonic and eat. Directions:

5103 N Broadway St, Knoxville, TN 37918

I'll be sporting the Cheeto this time if it can make it down there. So who will be attending this time around?

 

Im down for it, got the weekend off and soon new sound system in the T2. cant wait to see everyone again. If you need some parts or whatnot from a 88na let me know, i still need a passenger side door moulding for a s4 too.

 

what time?

 

1pm... I guess I should have added that in the original post

 

Well i guess there will be 3 of us anyway...

 

I am sorry I could not make it.

I forgot till someone called me.

My Mom had brain sugery about a week ago. I have been spending time with her and helping out.

 

its ok knox, only 4 of us made it, and i was late. LizardFC should have pics up soon enough though.

 

Pics?? I forgot my camera! I do have some pics from later that night though, I'll post a few later. It was great hanging with you guys again. We'll have to do this again in October. It's alright Knoxse7en, best wishes for your mom.

 

Thanks, She is doing good. But cant lift anything heavy or bend down to pick something up. So thats my job

 

Here's some shots from after the meet taken at my house and at what used to be Target.

 

what wheels are those on that red FC??? i like and are they 18" or 17" ???? def looked fun cant wait to join in...

They were 18x7.5" ADR's... I can't remember the name, what was it F.R.E.? They look damn good.

Alright guys, I wanna make the next meet a big one since October is one of the best months to own a car in TN, and it's gonna get nasty cold after that. So I'm thinking we have our next meet on the Dragon, perhaps at Fontana Dam? We could all meet in Maryville or a place of convenience and cruise up together or we could all meet up there. Either way, it would be a hell of a meet. Who's up for it? Have you ever driven up there Tweak?

 

Count me out for the big meet(lol big meat) I didnt care much for the Dragon. But if some people want to get together for a mini meet I would be in given that all is well. Family before cars

 

honestly ive never driven out of sevierville/pigeon forge/gatlinburg thats the most i know after that i would need assistance but i would love to go to a meet... by the way i have a question how do you guys do during the winter??? my dad says ill be fine using my car during the winter but im trying to convince him to let me keep the truck... what do you guys think?

What didn't you like about the Dragon? I've been up there at least a dozen times and it never gets boring. Oh well, to each his own I guess.

It's not that far from Sevierville, I'm pretty sure it'll be closer to you than most of us. As for winter driving, our winters here are typically mild unless you're in the mountains. I've lived here for 17 years and I can count the number of major snowstorms I've seen on two hands. It's rarely a problem, and if there is significant snowfall, everything usually closes anyway because people panic. Unless you're going to be in the high elevations near or in the mountains, I wouldn't worry about it. As far as our cars go, I've never had mine in the snow. I've got great tires for it but we haven't had a decent enough snow in the two years I've had it. I doubt a ~2800 lb RWD car is gonna do that well though.

 

I wish I could of gone as I planned to do, but a death in the family made me miss it. Ugh, oh well. I'll make the next one.

 

Its too far away and its too crowded. Also people drive crazy up there.

 

Sorry to hear that 5A. The good thing about bi-monthly meets is there's always the next one.

I'll give ya that Knox, people do drive crazy up there. Especially me

If people are down with it, I'd like to have the meet on a Sunday afternoon since it's a lot less crowded then Saturday.

 

to answer in order....

Tweak: The wheels are 18x7.5 ADR Sokudo, im not sure of its offset but ebay has two offsets in 17 and 18 inch wheels in 3 colors. i think the gold 18's are gonna run about 450+shipping....and i need a new set of rears anyway.
Winters in TN are nothing really, ive lived in MI before living here and my grey fc did wonderfully on the tiny *** phone dials.

Ill be down for the next big meet as well, looking forward to practice runs on the dragon as well.

5a: sorry to hear about the death as well, but I hope to see you at the next one.

Knox: we can do a mini if you wanna hang with the crew, though no reason to avoid the dragon if a passenger now is it?

 

Any plans to meet up again anytime soon? I am picking up my FD from its new paint job in 2 days!

 

Our next meet should be toward the end of October... I'd like to have it at Fontana Dam. I'm thinking either October 22 or 29, whichever is best for everyone else. Both days are Sundays, since traffic on the gap on a Saturday in October is going to be on the heavy side. Let's hear some feedback, I wanna get the date nailed down so I can start a topic and get people informed/interested. I look forward to seeing that new paint job!

 

I kept it as close to the stock VR as possible. I just need to start saving for the future rebuild/porting, wheels, and suspension now. Going to stretch as much out of the stock engine as possible, she is sitting at 56,000 now.

I am always up for a dragon meet. I will see what is going on and put my vote in for one of those two dates.

 

will you all be having a meet any time in nov. becouse thats when i get to start to drive and i might be coming out there i live off of emory so prtty close
i might be able to make it this time but im not sure
ill be coming in a 98 240

 

We usually have a meet every two months, however two months from late October is gonna hit right in the holidays so I'm not sure what's gonna happen there. We're always up for setting up mini meets though, so if you want to just come hang out with RX-7 owners sometime in November, just post on here and we'll figure something out. Welcome to the club!

 

240's"r"us I have talked to you on zilvia before. I am LongShot on there. Welcome to the forum.
