Kevin: Hit up Jim @ Gainesville Exhaust (23rd + Main).

He used to have some mandrel-bent sections... That or your traditional, el-cheapo piping from a regular exhaust place.

Not a surprise. Holton can't fix much beyond the REALLY simple.

YEARS ago, wihl I was in the Army, I bought a true R2 Bathhurst (JDM Spirit R > UK, UK Bathy > US, converted and I practically STOLE it) - verified via the VIN. When I first moved back to town, after being in the Army, I fucked up and took it to those ******* retards...

Those ************* didn't know WHERE to start, nor their *** from a ******* hole in the ground.... Damned car sat for almost three-weeks before I had to go and reclaim my ****. Seems they were just pimping it out for looks.

**** them. I don't care what anyone says about them; they suck big fat salty *****... It cost me more to FIX the bullshit they ACTED like they knew how to fix than it would've cost me to actually get my **** right.

I'd put my money on a pack of ******* monkeys before THEY *EVER* get a hold of my ******* car, again.

So tell us how you really feel, lol!

@Sean...I know another guy in town who may be able to help you. He's a mechanic who has had 7's forever and honestly I'd be bold enough to say he is the best mechanic in town. Let me know if you'd like me to put you in touch.

Hey guys, I've decided to throw in the towel and sell my V8 'vert. Know anyone who might be interested? It runs, but not right. Given that, I'm only asking $5k OBO. Here is the FS thread on norotors.com:

http://www.norotors.com/index.php?topic=4348.0

I would appreciate any help with finding it a new home. I'll probably list it here on the Club as well, once I have decent photos to include.

Looks like an 8 + hour drive, roughly 480 miles.

twinturbopete is trying to revive the northeast meets...lets show our support...see thread in the SE section and post up if you can make it.

Northeast Florida Rotary Revival! Gville, Jville, Orlando, Panhandle welcome!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What: Rotary Car Meet. (not just rotaries, but mainly RX-7s and RX-8s)
When: February 26, 2011
Where: Location not finalized, but likely Veteran's Park in St. Johns County off Racetrack Rd.
Who: Jacksonville, Gainesville, Orlando, Panhandle all invited.
Why: We haven't done this in forever!

I'd like to sure things up on the location. I'm going to make sure it has some grilles. I'd like to get a list of attendees. In the old days, we'd each put our name down and something we can bring, food, plates, cups, soda, etc. NO ALCOHOL. This is a car meet, and drinking & driving is never cool!

Additionally, we may try to cruise some of St. Johns County's beautiful roadways. There is US-1 into St. Augustine, Racetrack Road, St. Johns scenic highway, CR 210. (basically we can form a square around St. Johns).

So please, list your name, something you'd like to bring, and as always, it is a family event, so kids, wives (if they tolerate car meets), girlfriends, are all invited! We may try and do some door prizes too if we can get Mazda reinvolved in our meets.

Thanks for your interest, and hopefully we can put a great meet together!
