Hey Stu, once you get that whale tail on, the chicks will be jumping in at the stop lights. Just get the holes covered up, OK? We don't want you looking cheap.

When you see the car with the wing on, you won't even tell where the hole was

I slapped on some bondo because I don't want any more water problems. It is all on the inside. I plan on welding the hole shut, then grinding it flat and painting over it. I think it is #157 or something, need to find out.

Call before heading my way. If it is raining we can't do much here since the garage shop is full and I can't get the car wet yet. Also I didn't get the other rivet gun from work. We may have to remove the wing I am guessing to weld the holes back up. I'll try to swing by tomorrow morning and grab it from work on my way past.

Well I checked the weather for Sunday. Looks like it's supposed to be nice. I talked to Stu about the super glue trick with installing the apex seals. If I reuse my housing, I will have to install the apex seals in the one housing backwards. I thought I could get by without it, but I can't seem to find another housing in my price range (free). If any of you guys need a S4 engine, I have someone wanting to sell a complete engine for $200. He says it was running great. About 100k miles. Only catch is, he wants it gone by Sunday. If any of you guys are interested, I can hook you up with the seller.


If anyone hears from Tim, I NEED A HOUSING. I will have my other irons Bridge ported by Sunday if anyone is interested. I would like to get $200 for them. I will try to get pics by tomorrow. These don't require notching the housings, but it would help the bridge flow a little better if they are. These are the same ports I am running in the SA engine. Bryan at RotorSports looked at my port work, and complimented on how good a job I did. I was proud

Hey Josh, Sorry that was such a short visit. E's only able to get lunch once and a while on my day off Anyways, The car run better? respond smoother? Ours smoothed out all the backfiring and jerkyness etc.. Hope it helps a bit.

I am taking the rotor stickers up to get them copied in various colors.

Stu, I never made it to work today to grab the tools. Maybe we want to postpone working on it here? I think we will need to remove it, which means needing the rivets and gun. LMK what you want to do.

It's no problem. I would come by but I wanted to ask you before I left... Do you think the 4 rivets will hold it on the highway? I won't go over 55 anyways. I just like the look of it on my car and not under a semi, if you catch my drift

Screw gas prices, I going to drive my Rx-7 regardless of mpg and fuel prices. Im doing my part to make the ozone hole bigger and make it hotter in fuel rich areas. They want to raise prices they're going to have to work in more heat to get it, i want my moneys worth out.

Okay kiddies. Seeing as most here is in agreement. I guess the current gas situation isn't going to damper this Sunday's meet. If anyone is interested in a matching set of "Y" Bridgeport plates, I can bring them to the meet. Here's a few pics.

I thought Josh was joking yesterday when he told me I had better go fill up. I tried to get gas today so I could go to Columbia and grab an Aluminum hodd for the FC. None of the stations were pumping all the way home. Then only 1 was and it would only allow you 30 bucks. Not enough to get to Columbia and back.

The guy in SC didn't believe me and sounded a bit upset. Hopefully he will see this. ( Reese, sorry bro, I am not lying, i promise)

So, I guess I need to call it. This months meet will be rain checked till next week. If anyone else is still planning on coming (I doubt it), I apoligise. Sometimes things are just out of our control.
