I'm in. My TII is back on the road as of thrusday.

Looks like a few guys are coming down from the RRDI, we know Smoken' as Steve 'cause that's what his tires do. He is going to school somewhere around Statesville on an RRDI scholarship so that he can come back to the RTP area and keep all our rotaries running. Looks like we'll have 5-6 drivers coming to Charlotte that weekend. Keith has a beautiful vert and I haven't seen his new wheels or his new ragtop.

 

man it looks like its going to be a good turn out down here, i cant wait to see all the cars down there, its going to be my first meet so its going to be fun. cant wait, and has any one decided where were going to go eat?? any ideas around the area. some where not to expensive but where we can get a large party table. and if we get it all figured out maybe we can make resevatoins some where so its not a huge suprise when we all show up.

 

Nope, my entire 12a turbo setup is up for grabs if anyone here locally wants it, would defineatly help by not having to ship, plus you could see it on my car before I take it off. Picking up a GSL-SE this weekend which will recieve a J-spec 13bt swap w/ a 60-1 hopefully by april or may.

Suppose I could still drive it up there on 1 rotor, still starts w/ a flick of the key

 

hey, i'm in asheville NC...i would love to come, but i dont know how to get there!!! please help! anyone able to give me directions? thanx...feel free to email me at traynham.houston@gmail.com

 

hey you can run down I40 East all the way to Statesville and get on I77 south, that will take you south all the way to exit 18 on I77. from there you just take a right off the exit and the mall is up on the right. Im pretty sure thats how it goes, can any one confirm this for me

 

thanx...so roughly how far is it on i-77?? just wondering if it would be shorter/quicker to possibly head towards charlotte...(i77 is one of the roads i dont know!!)

 

It might be faster to take 74 thru Shelby to 85N toward Charlotte and go from there. Check www.mapquest.com that will tell you the quickest way (not being a smartass).

 

But, if at all possible, don't go through Shelby. 74 would save time, except for the 3,739 traffic lites that are in just shelby's little section of 74.

But yeah, since you are in Asheville, I'd go East on I-26 (Towards Spartanburg, columbia, etc). Exit onto hwy 74 and head East. You'll go through Shelby and Kings Mountain before you can exit onto I-85. Go Northbound on I-85. You'll go pass Gastonia and go into Charlotte. Take I-77 South and follow the previous directions to the mall.

Like I said though, Shelby will be no fun at all with all the traffic lites.

The simplest way to bypass all that would be to take I-26 East until you get to Spartanburg where it intersects with I-85. Take I-85 Northbound. You'll go past Gastonia and go into Charlotte. Take I-77 South and follow the previous directions to the mall.

It's really your call, but those are best ways I can think of if you are coming from Asheville.

 

Found a 12a in Winston for 125 bucks, goin in Fri. so I should be able to make it now

 

so far still lookin good for my beast. should be out there with it in full effect and go ahead and count my friend TOM in. he's got a 1st gen that will be coming out there with me. (he's not a member of this forum )

 

I hate to be another "try to come", but I will. It's a bit of a drive for me (New York), but it looks like the only meet on the calendar this year, so I want to be there.

 

DUDE!!! Holy Cow. New york huh?!?

I don't know how easily you can just up and come down this way, but if you can only afford/make/whatever one trip, I'd wait until Deal's Gap if I were you. But yeah, we'll be glad to have you.

 

thanx skylance...my sister lives in charlotte, so i know the shelby strecth pretty well...but ur saying i want to take 77 south out of charlotte?? i was thinking that in charlotte i would want to go north to get to exit 18...anyone have an address i can mapquest please??

 

Hey, Gime an Addy(mapquest cause im a dummy) and count me and my 87 GXL in...

 

You may be right about that. can someone please confirm this?

 

yes you want to get on 77 northbound to get to the mall!!

 

Man... I wish I was closer down there. I'd definitely come! I might be down in the area visiting Smoken' (Steve) in May-ish, so perhaps you guys will be getting together again.

I can't wait for warm weather. Today was awesome.

 

Ha ha silly me!

 

Got the Master and Slave Cylinders installed...bleed the air...Now the damn car won't start! I stopped driving it over a year ago when the clutch master went out...was running fine then. Gotta pull the fuel pump/lines and see whats up. Hopefully will have it running in 2 weeks!

 

my car should be done.... i dont know if ill be back from wcu that weekend.

we just got into town today and this comming week is spring break. Its a 3 hour drive to come back and well... im not sure if ill have a ride back one week after spring break.

we will see. really depends on how the car is at the end of this week.

 

man alomst time for the meet.

 

hey y'all, i'm new to the site, and about to buy a fc rx7 with the 13bt engine in it and was wondering if any of y'all was from around the fayetteville area. was wondering if i could get help with an install or if y'all can point me in a direction that can help

 

Welcome

Sorry, can't help you with the install myself. I've got my own project going on now. There should be plenty of people here willing to help though. Could also try www.rx7world.com.

 

hey, i told rotorsports about it. i think they may be down to make a showing.

also, i went to the go cart place and i found out that we can get a discount for an hour ride if we have enough people and we put mone down to hold a spot. is anyone interested? these carts are bad ***. they do over 40mph.
