Yeah, I know, but also, the funds aren't there this year to make the trip, so my car is only half the reason.

 

saw a red fd tonight around 10pm getting off 565 onto Sparkman.. ?? Looked like an r-1.. Anyone know? White guy with a red hat on... My wife was driving and said " thats what you used to look like" rubbing it in that mine is still sitting in the garage.....

 

That was my car. I just learned, Kelly Springs and Bob Wade join right at her house. Her address is Bob Wade and her next door neighbor is Kelly Springs.

 

Don, you have some delayed timing..... We talked about this a week ago.... So who did I see on 565?

 

My memory is bad, couldn't remember if I confirmed if it was my car or not. I have no clue as to who you saw.

 

OK guys, mark your calendars for Saturday March 18th. The Tennessee guys are having another gathering at David Garfinkle's and then dinner that night. Details... https://www.rx7club.com/se-rx-7-forum-35/who-eating-garfinkle-510121/
For all the slackers who don't normally come out and hang with the rotary brethren, this is one gathering you should attend. So, who's going?

 

Saturday March 18 there will be a car show by Twickenham Auto Club at The Rock, on the Parkway just south of Govenors Drive. I am going to have my peripheral ported road racer there on display.

 

Mine will be in my garage in 100 pieces still... Hey Don, I think Adrian is who I saw in the red FD. Guess he couldnt stay away and bought another... Car looked very clean....

 

I may be able to check that out before the TN gathering.

 

Hmmm, I wonder how many weeks this one will be kept...

 

I need to go back on the hsvracing site to make 100% sure it is his.. If it is his, No grudges held by me.. The more the merry! We need to grow the Huntsville group...

On another note my house should be done in 1-2 months... So I need to start getting things lined up.. I hope to have my car up and running by the end of April... So I guess that means May-June!!! I would like to plan a tunning session here or close by so we can put that on the table for everyone as well...

 

Mike what's up man where you been? Glad to hear your house is almost done, HOUSE WARMING PARTY!!!!! my car is going into the shop to have the bodywork and paint and some other special things done

 

Cool to here your project is getting close to being finished! Would love to see it.. Maybe this summer when my is done I will try and meet up with you guys.
I am so glad my house is almost complete.. Its going om 1 year since we started it..

 

I received this email this morning...

Anyone free on Sunday to attend?

 

Got a hockey tournament.... Besides I would look funny in my Chevy!!

 

did it have a red sticker along the bottom side of the back window?was the guy really tall?i think it might have been mark(wrongmotor.com). he just bought a red fd for his wife a few weeks ago.


i dont know if i can make it to the huntsville car scene thing or not. i might be going to pick up my 2nd gen that day

 

Naw.. Not Marks.. I have seen his wifes new FD.. This looked like a small guy and an R-1 I think marks is a base.. But thats one more car for our meets!!!! Just got to keep the right motor in it!!!

 

yeah hes keeping the fd rotary

 

Well, after yesterday, I might not make it either. Went out to start the 7 to let it warm up and it ran fine for about 2 minutes, then began to shake violently and stalled. Lost compression in one or both of the rotors. Squirted about 4oz of MMO in the intake and finally got it started again. SMOKED and BACKFIRED like crazy for about 10 minutes, but finally stabilized. Drove it around for about 20 minutes without a hitch, so it seems to have been a momentary loss of compression... I hope. I'll have to see how it runs today.

You found another 2nd gen or is it the one you had mentioned before? What about the 1st gen? Still plan to dp an engine swap?

 

Red Touring w/ Tan Leather. Some small misc goods. New engine, New Tranny, and New Turbos with 70k miles on the chassis.

I didn't sell the black one because I didn't like it. I sold it because I wanted to make money. I made money, and I bought myself a new toy in January.

I have no grudges, but it's still just a car.
Adrian

 

Marks is an R1. I almost bought the one he bought but it had around 70k ORIGINAL miles. I walked away from it despite how good the body and interior is.

Mines a touring with an R1 wing.

 

ouch that sucks dude,hopefully it will hold together for a little while longer.

uh im not sure which 2nd gen i talked to you about last.do yo mean the one i saw on university? i looked the other day and it was gone,i didnt have a chance to check it out. im going to try to pick up the one i bought on ebay. its a 89 gtu

 

Drive it back or trailer it? What are you doing tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon? Call me.

 

Wow, I just noticed this thread while poking around about the cruise tomorrow that Samir is putting on.

Just to clear the air about "the wife's car".....

It's the '93 BASE that was for sale in Madison. We've known the seller's family for years. Like, since the late '60's.

Red, black interior. 86,xxx miles. Re-painted. Clean as hell. Major oil leak at the pan and motor mount - to - pan bolts. Repaired by us!

Only mod to date is a use HKS dual filter thingy we got to replace the stock junk. Better filters on the way (not foam!)

The wife has always wanted one, so SHE bought it. I'm to big for FD's, so I lay no claim to her new toy. It WILL stay rotary as long as we can make this engine last. Even at the point of catastrophic failure, it may just get a rebuild. But you never know!

 

Here's HIS & HERS by the way....
