Ray: Fired up the car today and so more sticky apical rotor seal. She's running smooth again! The can of Sea Foam in the gas tank (3/4 full) did the trick. I did not have to soak the rotors as we discussed! What a relief.

Good meeting last week. I'll try to make it more often.

let me know if the "Old Guys" are going to do another trip to the mountains. That sounds like a fun time.

Greg I have no idea what you mean by the exhaust on Mike's car, but if it's Mike S. he has an RB header with some kind of fabricated connections to a power pulse muffler. I'd recommend a complete RB system, just under $800 delivered.

"There were 15 RX-7s. I counted: (8) FBs, (6) FCs, (1) FD"

3 SA's = 4.5 12A equivalents
5 FB's = 5.0 12A's
6 FC's = 3 12A's
1 FD = 0.3333333333333333333 12A's
Total = 12.8333333333333333333 12A equivalents, a very impressive turnout you XRoads Folks.

Not so impressed with the various efforts at math however, good thing I checked!

So I fulled up tonight and I'm barely getting 17.5 mpg- I have 'enjoyed' the exhaust system lately, but I didn't think it was that much I filled up after the last OGTA meet and I got 21.something. Damn it...

Holly and I go way back. She drove me up to MADS back in '99.

Here's the 911. Not the prettiest engine bay, but the car sure is a blast to drive - Zoom zoom!

Looks very nice.

Mountain ride good.

Looks like Vegas won't be happening at the end of the month, so more likely I'll be at the mazmart deal.

And on an unrelated note, anyone a CAD monkey or know one that is looking for a job?

Looking good Chris! I see you got one of those custom cup holders from WalMart, very stylish.

A Porsche with a Wankel, Whoo Hoo!



Tim I think Greg the Elder is a CAD monkey, and he's looking for a job.

Very cool Porsche!! I love that type of stuff.

I plan on being down at RA in Feb on the 21-22 for a SCCA event and PDX...IF I get tires by then. Mine are ..wel, bald from last years events and Daily driving, burnouts, drifting,etc.. I hope to see some of you all there.

How many people are planning on going to The Mitty this year? We are going again, and want to meet up with other Rotorheads. And renew my OGTA status.

Dave no worry, your OGTA status is secure





Chris, you paid too much for the cup holder. Remember: WalMart...WalMart...WalMart. They have the wide 3 MM tape for less than half the price of the auto shops too. Here's mine, it has held up well over the years, installed in three different GSLs now:
