Landon,my car is in the shop now getting a hiflo cat installed.I could also use some help installing my hks twinpower this wknd.If my car is done i will try to help out. eric

 

well to many things wrong for me so i got my friends 240..but the cluster dosnt work so i have no guages...haha so if i get pulled over and ask how fast i was going i will ask what he is talking about because i was only going 0....

but do we see this one going later then 8???? even though we are meeting at 2pm at kmart on rivers like usall right???

 

Yeah we are meeting there, the initial meet wont probably last past 8 but i will be working on my car past 8. I have to be back in west ashley by 5 to pick up an engine hoist. I am renting one. So you can stay for all of that or go it doesnt matter, but i would like to get a good group of guys together for the bridge run, and if anyone has any thing they want to get help with on their car bring it to my house after we eat and we can see what we can do about it.

I have seen one around west ashley, but i have never stopped it. btw thanks to everyone for coming to the meet. I hope that we can continue to get together and hopefully we can get more people involved.

Landon

 

i wonder if the guy with teh white SA ever came over to this site from rx7world? he seemed interested

 

wasappening, hey guys sorry i couldnt hang out longer for the meet, i had a bunch of crap to do, but yeah, we need to get together more often, we have been falling apart, but anywho, i am going to be getting a GTU so if anyone needs any parts ghetto will be getting parted out,

peace
justin

 

I pm'd you, Justin. Im looking for some parts for my 88 se.

BTW, the gxl was out of commission last week. driving down 176, i started to smell coolant, pulled over and popped the hood, and a stream of coolant was coming out of the upper radiator hose. I decided to replace all the radiator hoses and the thermostat, and she seems to be back to normal now

fyi, if the upper radiator hose starts getting a swollen, bloated look to it, it probably means its about to break...

 

yeah man, i got the PM, if anyone else is interested, about the only thing not getting parted out is the motor, i need a different project motor so im going to keep that one to put in the GTU body

 

anyone have any stock FD rims in the area? all i got where 18"s when i bought my fd

 

My boyfriend and I came to Charleston last week, but I didn't even think about meeting up with my fellow rotary guys!! We rode in his non-rotary car anyway (Dodge SRT-4)... I definitely missed my FC all week. He and I might move down to Charleston in the Fall 2006, so I'd love to start making some friends in the area.

Anyway, hope we can start keeping in touch! I'm definitely a true Carolinian... I've lived in NC my whole life, so I don't wanna go *TOO* far from home. So Charleston is definitely a wonderful choice.

 

welcome welcome

 

Hybrid, I have a set of FDs that are bronze. I used to use them on my 10AE until I got my Work wheels. They have a set of Kumho 712s on them with over half their tread left. I'm looking to get $400 for them with the tires.

BTW, I'm in Columbia and am one of the founders of the SC club. I'm sure anyone on here will speak for me if you're concerned in any way about dealing with me.

Hey guys, I'm new here, I'm looking in buying a 3rd gen but, I havn't found the one I quite want yet. Just thought I'd say hey, and ask if anyone know's a good mechanic around the area that I could take my car to if I got one.

let me know.

Nice to meet you guys

 

A guy in crowfield(goose creek) told me that he is selling a red 94 fd.I think he said it is in autotrader.I would have recomended palmetto mazda in w ashley,but the idiot tech failed to tighten 2 of my plugs.Everything else he did seems ok.

 

Hum... is it red/mt with 133k?

 

I dont know about the mileage,i spoke to the guy driving home from work at a stoplight.

 

you silly FD drivers, dont you know that the dealership doesnt do rotaries

 

That aint no **** neither, took my first gen for a tune-up and oil change(just needed it and i didnt have the time) and thats exactly what the tech told me! I was like, " i am at the MAZDA dealership,the supposed authority on rotaries, right?" He just laughed. i asked about RX-8's and he said they fly a tech in from Florida to work on them! OMG! so goes to show the real TECH'S are the people who drive them!
Anyways, WHEN is the NEXT meet? missed the last one cuz i was in Scotland, saw a bunch of RX-8's and one bad *** FD!( plus all right hand drive which just looks wicked as hell) LATERS , IAN

 

hey guys i am the guy with the white SA that a few of you saw at K-mart on Rivers a couple of weeks ago...i signed up for this site that night but just now found the chuck town section...i just was wanting to say whats up, and i hope to see all of you soon...I have been seeing rx7's out the *** in summerville, i swear they are breeding them out this way...
*dane*

 

Well guys i am really glad that the rotary Gods are finally bringing everyone together. I have been on vacation the past week, so it looks like i have missed alot. If everyone is down for sept 3rd that can be our next meet. Too bad i still wont have the FD running, but i knew that i had a 50/50 chance when i bought my rx7. Oh and for anyone that is wanting to by a rx7 for the first time, make sure you have a real fire extinguisher handy, not one of those in an aerosal can. You can ask nieto about how a gallon of milk saved his FD. So that makes it 3 FD fires in 3 months right. I cant really remember when derricks caught fire.

Landon

 

You know this is some crap. I get back on the forum and then everyone stops talking. Is this a sign that i need to stop being on the forum??
