I wish I could have done WhiteHouse . . .

You'll need an instructor at least until your progress to "Blue" solo, which can take anywhere between 3-4 times.

IS tech really strict at roebling rd.?
I dont have one of those helmets that pass scca spec.
I also dont have a batt cover which is in my hatch and i have descent crack on the front wind shield.
Those are the only things i worry about during tech.

Hey fellas just wanted to introduce myself. Im new to the Jacksonville area and own a 93 FD. I know its a little unorthodox, but with the current economy I'm trying all options and wanted to know if anyone knew of a company that is currently hiring. I'm a recent grad w/ a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. Looking forward to meeting up at future events. Thanks in advance.

Here's a quick pic of the car. Still have a lot of plans for it. Needs reliability mods (i.e. AST, radiator,PFC,etc). Want to sell the spoiler and go for more of a sleek look. I like the look of the Shine Auto project products and will probably go w/ their rear diffuser and spoiler. Also need to change out the outdated rims. No rush, just a hobby, expensive one at that.

Nice looking car. Wanted that front end for a long time when I had the R1.

Thanks. Just checked out your album and the spoiler and diffuser you have are the ones I was interested in. Where did you purchase them from and have you been satisfied w/ them? By the way, I'll trade you my front end for your ls6.

Got both from Shine, wish I got the diffuser in CF now though. The diffuser takes some work to get to fit perfect and I did not take the time to do this thoroughly. Most everyone has a gap on either the driver or passenger (some both) side fender as it curves in. Not a huge gap, but for perfectionists its enough to notice. I love the spoiler and don't think I'll ever change it unless they end up making a replica FEED one...there is a thread on their vendor forum with group interest.

I believe Vikingwarhammer (?? on name...search) massaged his diffuser to near perfection and he has pics on the forum (maybe the interior section?)

I rolled through on Saturday... but didn't see any 7's.

I'm not really new to Jax, or the 7 scene, just new to meeting up with the half-***-organized Jax RX7 club.

Maybe next weekend? Ill put up pics of the vert later, and I'm still building the 83. If anyone saw me Saturday, its a sky blue tii vert.

Well... Houston's was awesome, monthly meets at a minimum.

I graduated from college, then got commissioned and subsequently stationed out here.

I cant say that I expect much though, as Jax is about a 20th of the size (population wise) as Houston... if that.
