Gainesville RX7 Meet
Won't be able to make it out guys. I was with Derek/Dmoney/my boy from the Netherlands for the past two days, he is waiting for a re-bar for his rear bumper so his fd won't be able to make it tomorrow.

Turned out to be Tom, Eddie and Kevin. Kevin was brave and rode with the LS and no A/C. True to RX-7 nature, my car died at Hooters.
Jumped the car and it ran for about a minute then died. Jumped again and it kept wanting to die unless I kept the rpms above 1200 or so.
So we basically got it on the highway with a few starts at the light and on the on ramp. Died mid drive when I tried to put my turn signal on ....popped the clutch in second gear at 65ish mph...LOL..that got the RPM's up and the tires going per Tom. Limped all the way home at 80 mph with all electrical loads off.
Managed to get lucky and get a green...doh yellow...DOH! RED off of exit 390...took the turn...DAMN red light again so turned right and went behind Sonnys and managed to keep the car moving until getting to my garage.....whew.
So..now to troubleshoot alternator, connections, battery, etc...I sound like a damn rotary owner LOL.
I love it. It was still fun despite the "adventure" home.

FIXED!! after troubleshooting the car, found a loose wire that (to be honest) I had no idea what it went to. Traced it back to my ecu which pinned out to the MAF sensor. Reconnected the wire, started the car and idled in my drive perfectly for 20 minutes. Rock solid. Happy it was an easy fix..and lucky to find that disconnected wire as it was completely covered.
It's not gone yet. I have a depost. It needs to be inspected by the buyers loan company. Also, I'm putting stock wheels back on, but I can't get ahold of Jack and the wheels are coming from him.
Kevin would look good in it though.
