why do they offer racing beat springs [set] 244.21, or 48.96 each for front, which =97.92 for the front, then the rear springs each are 40.65 each for the rear, which = 81.30...so for all 4 if ordered seperate comes to 179.22 vs 244.21. who is dumb enought to order them as a set, really.... am i missing something here?

Ok guys. I am going to put this out to you all to vote on. I would like to move the meet time to some where around 3:00pm to 5:00pm and the day to the second Saturday of each month. I also think we should move the meet back to the BK on Williamson RD. Just let me know what you all think, and don't be shy to express your opinions on the subject.

If we could get some of the other guys opinion on the matter.


On a different note, I FINALLY got around to do something to the FB that I have been putting off for years. Show and tell?

Looks good but doesn't it have to be boxed and vented to keep the flammable gases out of the interior that come from charging?

new meet details

I have no prob. with the location or the time.

I wonder if there's a way to meet where fixes and mods can be done.
There's always something that needs doing, and why not when you got
the RX7 minds all together.

You are correct sir. The storage bin is a box, and there are two drain holes about 2" in diameter in the floor beside the battery But like Long said, I would really like to drop a dry cell in there instead.

It really doesn't matter to me either. We just need to decide on it one way or another. As far as "fixing the car" at the meet, I don't have a problem with that either. I just don't know how the misses would handle the meet

That's the reason I am putting it out there. Everyone needs to vioce thier opinion and make a suggestion. If we don't have a game plan by the next meet, I say we keep the second Sunday but we move the meet back to the BK on Williamson RD.

Sweet vids Anthony. I hate to see the damage, but that's how you know what will hold up

I hate to say it, but I think the turbo FBs have out done themselves yet once again.

nice vids. if that's in an fb what rear end u running?

so the smaller a/r means quicker spool up? just trying to understand all these numbers so i know what to look for when i eventually go turbo.

I say we take one of our meets to a "Drag and Brag" at Zmax and just see what these cars can do...here's a link to the available times left this summer. I'm gonna try hard as hell to have mine ready by the July 14th race, but it'll be close.
