It'll also drive Ray's count up, as Jeremy will get 6x the FD point value in the RX-2.
Only reason why we would be in a boinger is because of rain or if one of the cars are down getting improvements!

Why 12A's rule: A recent pm from my Canadian buddy Damien

"Well I started the Mazda to move over so we can move the Honda out of the garage so we can put the van in for tomarrow so my dad said take the Mazda to the round about street alone for the first time driving the Mazda on the street alone so happy and before I drove it back into the Drive way I reved it to 5500RPM and let off the clutch the car sat spinning the tires for 1 sec with out the brakes then took off omost drifted into the drive way but let off before I did because I was scared to crash it. But I did not know my little 1.1L 12A 100Hp would have scary amount of power and it was scary fun. Here are the marks."

lol the 12A doesn't have insane amounts of power, what else would you expect something spinning at 5 and a half thousand RPM to do to 2 skinny tires when a good strong clutch connects the two instantly? Especially with the momentum of a 23 pound flywheel. That guy is mistaking power for a light rear end and skinny tires. Although I'll admit, Rotary cars do know how to make mountains out of molehill hp peaks.

It's not about the power Chris, it's about the love. Which is of course what makes 12A's faster than most other cars. 'Cept those juiced up retro 13B Old School buggies.

Suwanee. Exit 111 off of 85, if going north, you take a right off of the exit ramp onto Suwanee Dam Road and it's a left at the first traffic light. If heading south, you take a left off of the exit ramp and it's that same first traffic light left. Jeffery's is on the right not even a block down that road.

I'm going to need to buy another 2-belt alternator pulley off of you the next meet I can make it to, Billy. I went to buy some parts tonight and got to talking and eventually did a straight trade for an interior part and some front blinker lenses. I hope you don't mind!

And, we're tied.

Does anyone need an S4 EFI harness (injector wires, engine sending units, etc)?

Zach I know you asked twice and got every answer but the one to your question, sorry OGTA's are like that.

We meet at 6:30 for the folks with no life (like Collin, who will be there at 6:00), 7:00 for the folks on a schedule and 7:30 or later for the cool, important dudes who like to arrive fashionably late.

It's at Jeffery's Restaurant in Suwanee, we have a special area in the parking lot designated for the purpose (no boingers allowed). Folks hang out until the Suwanee police show up and run them off, usually around 10:00 pm.

Hope to see you there!

Michael here's a few of the retro 13B old school buggies I'm talking about that haul *** at the OGTA meets:

Mike's FB is an 85, not strictly Old School but we group him with the Crusty's because he is so worldly and he has all those cool mods, like his pretty blue CAIT. (But those tacky 2nd gen strut tower covers have got to go, worse than an aftermarket CD player in the Old School Book).

that's what i thought u meant ray. u don't know how much i hate loosing my 808 now that i'm able to get out and meet new ppl. and knowing what it's going to cost me if i ever do get the money to get back into one is really frustrating. at least the heatbeat of the 808 lives on, so i guess mine is somewhat old school. anywho looks like u all had a decent showing. got a count yet?

and yes we have surpassed the crossroads thread.

You should seriously ebay those tails, the radio surround, and the FTP's. They'll sell quick and you'll get much more than you're asking... Since you got this word of the wise, you need to give me that S4 wheel you've got and those 2 BF TA/s for $40

Hey I gave him those I thought they looked good...

That's good, I had no idea they sold that good. I really won't need one until I park the FC to start swapping blocks and what not, and I've been putting that off forever... So it'll be a while
