Sounds like fun, I think I'll be saddled w/ moving duties in MIA though if I get back in time I'll def check it out.

A buddy of mine has a T70 CYM , he lives in St Augustine, and tracks it from time to time

They want us there early so they can get all the car set up. 8 am is what they want and the earlier we get there, the better our location will be I am sure so I guess I am saying whenever you want to get there I will too.

We could position the cars and then grab some breakfast. Have you registered?

Yup, emailed the guy and he said he had me and Tom in. Early and breakfast sounds good to me. I'm usually awake at 4 am and at work at 5am so being there before 8 will not be an issue for me.

I can be there at 8 for sure...or earlier.

I think you have to register to park with the cars in the garage because space is limited. I'm going just to hang out with other cars and check the scene out. Not looking to win anything, but figure if I'm gonna hang out most of the day, might as well park with everyone else and hopefully see some other 7's.

Not many I think. To my knowledge I was the first RX7 to register. You should come and we'll hang out.

FYI - car went from the body shop back to Kilo's were they found the fan had blown again due to faulty wiring. It's now fixed with a new 3,300 CFM fan but they then found a leak in the radiator which I will find out soon if it can be fixed. If it's not one thing, it's another Car looks pretty though. Maybe I'll just push it to the car show.

I would go BUt my car is not the show type. And i have some electrical gremlins F-ing with me and now my headlights are out of commission till I find out why my HEadlight relay + dimmer relay both went out at the same time. I can make the light come on with a jumper But i dont want to cause any more electrical problems.


But i think i might have to come out and see the show.


PS> any 2nd gen part cars? I need one to get the relays out of.

Junito: I just got back from ACE pick a part and they had a 88 rx7 there. Might have a relay on it still. The guage surround cluster was off but still in the car with all the switches. Wires were still there too.

Anyone have a pair of low imp 550cc injectors?

Scrambling this morning to find a source for the radiator. We'll see. I'll come on over regardless but I really want the car to be there.

Thanks for the tip SuphaG. As for the injectors... low imp 550's came in 87 TII's only and maybe some early 88's? IF you do find them used.. I wouldnt trust them much. They are way old and most likely in no better shape than yours. Try sourcing some rc's or maybe just go with 2X 720cc's.


Sam RX7: Im not 100% sure if I still have it. BUt i think i have a factory s4 top mount laying around somewhere.. Also an s4 altenator.. I also have a pair of 4 pot tII calipers.

As for the EFI stuff. I have no job so the car isnt getting the haltech installed yet. SO That will be a while.

So, I found a place that will fab my new radiator up and have it to me by this Thursday so there is still a chance I can make the show. A lot needs to be done between now and then so we shall see. I am going to drive down to Orlando on Thursday and hang out at Kilo until the car is done or at least that is the plan.

Cross your fingers!
