You want me to stop by tomorrow? I'd love me some more ****... I've got your number, so I'll shoot you a call sometime if you're gonna be home.

I'm stopping by the girlfriends house before I head up there to say goodbye once again, so I might be to your place around 1 at the latest. But I'll be there

I'm heading that way too- if you could, could you bring that spoiler mounting hardware and that undertray/ bellypan? I'll buy the tray if you don't want too much for it. Thanks man!

What's a "logic" for an 84/85 FB Roland? I assume this isn't the logicon that controls the cabin heat and cooling, unless that other one was bad for some reason. I should have it if it's an electrical part you would strip when disposing of a carcass, can deliver at the September 1 meeting or arrange to meet in Atlanta sometime next week.

Tell us the story Colin!

Reminder: Brett, Michael the Younger, Greg the Elder and maybe even Michael the Elder from over in Carolina may be stopping by today (Sunday) to do some parts exchanging and repair workshops. The weather is cooperating, it looks like it's going to be cool, sunny and dry, perfect for getting greasy. We'll get serious around 12:00 noon and figure on hanging out as long as there are problems that can be solved.

All are welcome, come on out for a drive in the country! (and see what I do for a commute every day).

Where exactly is this meet going to be today? I want to come up and have some of my issues checked out by you guys...

If someone could call me at 678-994-1545, I got some business to attend to, but I'll be there as soon as I get a call.

Yes the logicon. The other one does not work - do you want it back?

Does anyone have a split air pipe for an FC they want to get rid of and sell to me? It's the pipe that goes from the cat to the ACV and all that...Mine is hacked up!

So I got my fuel pump in, and the car pulls like a demon. AND for whatever reason, I have no idea, I get better gas mileage. Thanks for the quality gauge Billy. I also ordered the dual belt alternator pully ( I don't know if you saw it on the order, but I know the gauge came from a different place) I can get the pully from you at the next OGTA meet or whenever you have one in your possession.

Yep, i saw that. still waiting on my stock to come in on the gauges.

Did you get the fittings you needed to plumb the fuel system? I have not needed to order from Mcmaster for a while thus have not ordered the fittings.

let me know.

Today was fun... It made me want a streetported 13B in the FB.

FYI everyone, Michael from Spartanburg, SC just might have converted Ray over from the 12A side

Re-speed

Billy,

Do you have RE-SPEED upper control arms for an SA or FB or just the lowers?

yeah brett that was fun, i thoroughly enjoyed it. should have chanced the cop and followed u all back the other way cause the directions going the other way didn't pan out and by the time i finally got back to 85(came in at the 160 mile marker) it had already gotten dark and the road construction didn't help matters none. didn't get back til shortly after 10pm. i've GOT to get me a gps. and ray, sorry to say the brake pedal is back to the same as before. not to worry tho, i'll deal with it when i get around to the disc upgrade. still stops tho. thanx for trying. and the eats was great.

Michael good to hear you're back and the Jefferson police didn't get you. In retrospect you should have gone back our way, he wasn't hiding behind the Yield sign as we thought.

Here's the Official 12A count for the day:

4 FBs = 4 12A's, another perfect day.

Work accomplished:

Moog idler arm and RB exhaust for the Silver One

Idler arm bushings and various carb parts and adjustments for Brett's shiny new red FB

Brake bleed for Michael the Elder's 13B powered Holley boosted rotary rocket that only lasted a few miles.

Yeah I just got the gauge and was too excited, so I went to Home Depot and found all of the stuff I needed. I figured since all you said under customer order comments was "the gauge will drop ship" that you were waiting on the fittings to do a McMaster order.

Kevin, I don't think it was an 'official' OGTA meet, but a little get together at a member's house to work on a car.

Just lowers. The rear end will bind if you run spherical upper arms.

The lowers are what locate the axle. The uppers will only control axle wrap. With the stock watts link you want the axle to be able to wrap a bit since the watts is going to try and force it anyways.

Do we still need to get you a quick dis-connect? You do not want to leave that gauge under the hood for long. Better to keep it in the glove box. As you know, its not cheap.

Ray I found my way to 316 just fine. It was a nice drive.
As I turned onto 316 from 211, I came up beside a nice 67 Nova.
The guy was definately looking for a race. He revved that V8 way up there and it sounded great.

85 Rx7 12A, I still do want to get your AC compressor.

Ray, where is the video on the race-ready Silver Bullet?

That was this one Greg, back when it had the borla exhaust before you guys showed up:



With the RB street system the Silver One is now totally domesticated.
