No, I started the mods back in 91 with the Dell, RB pulleys and wires and the RE tuned exhaust. I'm just catching up for lost time, thats all. You won't see much more done now until I blow this motor which could be anyday now :-D

Actually I posted a link of that post to the OGTA thread to mess with Ray. I might go down to the next OGTA meet, so I figured I better get them a preview before I show up.

Motors were there, but when I spun one over, it spewed coolant out the front rotor. The other I could not spend. I brought the tools to remove the alternator only, so its not like I would get far. Although they had a GXL with the electronic suspension down there, complete as well. I took the strut tower caps on the front off, and got them for free

I have no use for them since I run a strut bar. If anyone wants them, let me know, I'll bring them next meet and you can have them.

my car had a little hiccup when at a level rpm range. I filled her up with 93 octane and 10oz MMO and ran the guts out of her for the whole tank. Now its smooth sailing. I've got just about everything back to excelent working order except the wiper switch. anyone got one with the rear wiper. thanx

anyone else going to the speedfest at Road Atlanta??(AKA,.."The Mitty") I just got our 3 day pass' with infield parking.( Which for those that have not been to road Atlanta means driving all over the track for the best location of all the different corners etc..)

Mazda will be bringing all there top race cars and prototype rx7's such as the 787B The crawford/Downing prototype rx7-92p etc..

We sould caravan down there. We are going to stay at a days inn( In Gainsville, 11 miles away from the track) due to my recent back surgery( don't want to camp on the ground yet)

MAY 2-4. Maybe try and get the old guys 12A club to join us
http://speedfest.classicmotorsports.net

Just a thought guys, I have nothing but time on my handfs for a couple months Road Atlanta is a AWSOME venue. Very beautyfully laid out. A great place for gear heads to gather and hang out.

The 2nd round of the MX5 cup is held during the event.
