Ray: Denso's, any particular number or just ask at store?

The tires you found were Yokahamas wern't they? You said you got them where? I've got to buy tires for the Dodge Dart too, before I can put it on the market.

I had a tire start to de-laminate. Those Falcon's are about ten years old and sat on the car for to long before i could get the engine rebuilt. An unsafe condition.

Can't wait to see everyone again this weekend again. This time I will be down for more than just dinner and being pulled over by a GA Highway patrol. :0

We need to get some name tags so outsiders like myself can figure out whos who.

Anyone needing some parts that I have listed hit me up and I will bring them down.

Thirty year old tires will do that Greg. I got my Yokohama Avid Tourings in the the stock size from Discount Tire but the last couple times I checked their web site they didn't list them, you might also try Kaufman's and Tire Rack. If I can't find the Yokohamas when and if my current set ever wears out I'll probably go with the Kumho Power Stars:

http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/sea...0&rd=13&cs=185

The Denso plugs weren't listed on the Autozone website but they have them at my local Autozone, so you might just drop by and see. Here they are listed on the AdvanceAuto site:

Looks like quite a crowd for this Saturday!

Anyone know where a good 81-85 gas tank is? And might could pick it up this weekend?
Have a friend that need one to get up and running until I can clean his when it warms up.

Yeah the plan is to save in the next few years. No trade in, just adding Rx-8 to collection.

They redesigned it, now it looks even worse, in my opinion.



On the other hand the Miata is looking pretty good, wish it came with a Renesis:

Yeah I hated the 09 front until I saw it in person. Mean looking car and I love the foglight integration. The LED taillights on the 09 are light years ahead for what they replace.

No doubt that actually seeing and driving one of the new RX-8s or Miatas will leave a good impression, that's why I don't do it. Wouldn't be fair to the White One.

Yeah getting back into the FB the clutch and steering felt really heavy, and the car feels noisier than it did before. I'm sure I'll regrow accustomed to it again, but I'd still like something newer as a more reliable DD after college, not to mention the fact that I'd like a car where every single feature and gadget WORK and there are no missing pieces. 100% OEM goodness.
