And I thought Stu was messed up....... I didn't know you had it in ya Cory. I finished rebuilding Rick's carb tonight. I have never rebuilt a Nikki and got the thing to do right first try. Stupid Nikkis. Anywho. After a little tweaking, the LE is running pretty good now. The gas still looks like mud though. Rick said he should have the wheel cylinders and breaks in tomorrow. He has ok'ed me to got some new tires for the LE wheels. I told him that if we get his car done by this weekend, he better bring it to the meet Sunday.

Hopefully the parts for Josh Longs car will be here before the end of the week. It would cool to add two more first gens to the meet I guess I'm going to make an appearance with the Turbo FB. Bev said I could come up for a little bit, then I'll have to head to Harmony for my nieces birthday.

hmm, so sam got me thinking about something, and so i have been doing some homework about it. i thought I had a vac leak, but i traced all of the lines and to no avail. so sam mentioned that it sounded like the tps was wacked out. so i did some thinkin' and realized that the timing, tps, and idle adjustments are diffrent on the manuals, im guessing due to the extra weight of the tourqe converter, the tps is set diffrently. so tomorrow im gonna adjust the tps again and see if that is the problem. im really digging a N/A rotary powered car that when you grab second it slings the *** end around. and who said rotary's aint got any tourqe. its a totally diffrent car now, everything feels diffrent even the steering. im also gonna install a S3 steering wheel in my car I do belive, that huge truck airbag is starting to freak me out. the Air bag light flashed at me the other day so...... anyhows, longs car is comming along nicely especially with only 32000 miles o the car....

I don't know who ron jeremy is, but thanks to wikipedia, that has changed. I still dont know what you and him have in common until I read wikipedia. Apparently he gives himself auto-fel-lay-she-oh.

It's a 7 meet. He put up car show I bet because he forgot what cars we drove. Oh well, if there is more than just RX7's (like classics, no honduhs) I don't think it will be too bad

Man I HATE waiting on parts. Still haven't got the silicon couplers for Josh Long's car, and I am waiting for a few things for Rick's. O'well. Nature of the game

I77N to Exit 42. At the light take a left. Go past 2 lights, and before you get to the third it should be on your left, can't miss the billboard.
