Crit, I have buckets and you are welcome to them. But, that sounds like a solution I would come up with. I'm expecting a little more out of Rambling Wreck guy.

 

Ray, I just noticed the new one has its wheels properly aligned in photos. This has to be a good sign.

 

The thing is just oozing karma.

 

Car show at MazMart (11-14-09) 1pm to 6pm.
Just found out about it.

 

Holley 650 with 850 jets for $150:

I should totally bolt that onto my 13B!

 

I read that, got all excited, started putting it in my phone, then realized I could only drive my boinger, since both rotary's are parked without insurance...

 

I'm not sure I'd ever give up on a rotary that hadn't given up on me, Brett! You gotta show them a little love.

 

-Shrug- If Brett wants to buy and drive an autotragic lumpy sedan with body damage...let him.

 

Yeah Brett is definitely showing signs of mental and emotional deterioration. Probably caused by those freshman college courses.

 

Juno (Andrew and Ben), this sounds great and I'd like to attend, but December is out for me.
Thanks for stepping forward to host an event though.

 

Ray, ever think of this for some extra cash?

Yeah the goats work really well for that, I plan to use them myself once I get my rogue acre fenced in. You got some problem bushes? They'll work for a case of beer.

Juno et al, your rotary bash sounds like a great idea in need of a date. Have you got some alternatives? We could do the last Saturday in November, a weekend meet instead of the routine first Tuesday night at Jefferies get together (it's pretty dark at 6:30 pm right now anyway, hard to take pictures).

 

I brought my 7 downtown on Monday. She hates the city streets

 

I'm not giving up on it, I'm making it much much better. You're right though, it never really let me down. The motor was to the point where I'd have to top off the coolant every other day, and it had started smoking blue like a train for the first minute of driving when it was cold. It's getting it's motor swapped, removal of all emissions, removal of the P/S since it leaks plus it hasn't had a belt on it for over a year, swapping in an LSD, welding/ bolting on some frame braces, and possibly doing some body work and getting it painted if funds allow. I also parked it, along with the FB, since the insurance ran out from being in my grandmother's name, and I can't afford $290 every month. That's not including my speeding ticket, which thank god isn't showing up on my MVR. The Maxima's only $40/ month in my aunts name with me as a driver, MUCH better .

Since when is buying a cheap car with a little damage bad? The transmission's good, as well as the motor, which runs for practically ever. A new hood, bumper cover, and possibly a passenger fender plus the $1800 I paid is a great buy in just about anyone's book.

When the FC's back on her feet, she'll be very nice- You might even approve of it! hah

I hope it was safe down there. I remember parking last year for the ice skating deal when my passenger door wouldn't lock...

So here's all my babes together. As well as the awesome black leather interior of the Maxima




And the body damage...

 

It's fine, I park in a parking garage for the school. My friend has a parking pass there so he just lets me in with it and since they don't have my car on record at the school I can just rip up the tickets they write and not worry about it.

 

Nice looking cars Brett, but I agree with Collin, that Datsun has got to go (maybe you can transplant the Datsun seats into the FC??). What are you calling her, MaxiPad?

But I do like the truck, reminds me of Kevin's (Ace's) panel truck

 

I got a ticket in the FC less than a week before I got the tags switched over to Dahlonega, and I totally thought about doing that until I looked on my account and they linked my car to my account... I had left my pass in the FB from the day before. That's cool though that you could get off, those tickets blow. Does your school have a separate little group of parking lot people that the school pays to patrol every parking place to make sure everyone has a pass, like NGA?

Ray, weren't you into Datsuns or something like that? Maybe I'm thinking of the MG's...

 

Yea we have a little parking **** patrol. If it were the actual cops doing it I wouldn't park there at all. The other reason why it's safe to do it is because on the highest floor of the garage ( which is p1 I believe, there are only 4 floors) there is a clearance that tow trucks can't pass so I park past that so the car can't be towed.

 

That's okay Brett...if you want to have a lump sedan war, we can do that. I might be picking up a Crown Vic P71 as a school car as well. It'll likely still have a pit-bar, a few more horsies and some pre-existing body damage as well, sooo...I think I may win when I push you into a ditch. Sound good? Good.

On a serious side note, I will admit, with all of the commuting my car is going to do next year...I'm just not sure anymore. I average around 22mpg lately....if I work at it a little bit by drafting more trucks I can get 24mpg with my driving style (Which isn't exactly a slow moving thing..)... However, it's still just...not enough. I might need another Miata. But, I don't want to give up Wanda..not sure what to do.

 

Colin, you could just give her to me as a Christmas present and I'll take good care of her. That way I can retire Aiko and use her as a weekender. That way, when you feel the rotary itch you can drive Wanda again and I'll still have Aiko. =D

 

Got the clutch Kevin sent me today, and she is beautiful! Now I just need to buy a pressure plate and I'll be primed for the clutch install.

 

Just to keep you guys posted on Nightmare's progress. I think I may have figured out why she will randomly stop running all of a sudden. The fuel pump will randomly cut out occasionally. So I gotta figure out why it's doing that, and fix that. I really need to hardwire that **** to the battery so I can get rid of that issue. It's really irritating to be driving down the middle of the road, lose pressure, and just stop...

Even more news (assuming you guys can actually access the site, it's been really hit and miss for me lately).

The fuel pump will run on start up, but will cut off after the key is back in the on position.

I really need to just do the engine swap, and be done with it. That should solve that issue in a jiffy.

Sounds like there may be a few new cars at the December meet, I'll see if I can get Mike to drive the Blue One and ask Michelle to drive the Gray Ghost, that'll boost the 12A count significantly.

Kevin be careful with that fuel pump hard wiring, there's a reason they have it relayed. You could end up with your fuel tank emptying at an inappropriate time.

Chances are the pump is good, but you should check this by doing the performance test described in the FAC (basically stick a milk jug under the fuel feed to the carb and see how long it takes to fill up).

If the pump is good check the rear ignitor and it's connections, they may be weak and fading out from time to time, causing your symptoms. Does your tachometer also get squirrelly when you lose pressure?

The fuel pump feeds off the rear igniter so it won't keep running if the car stalls out, like after a crash when you don't want fuel squirting all over the place. The tach is also feeding off the rear igniter, so you will get both symptoms at the same time if it is the cause.

And yes, I think the RX-7 club site is having some rear igniter issues too, it keeps fading out from time to time, takes too long to load. I'll bet Kent is up to another one of his tricks, watch your sigs everybody.
