Billy I was just looking at the pictures and I can see we need to get you a headlight. What do those RX3's take anyway?

 

How 'bout a point count?

 

Holly?

 

Great meet everyone!

Came home and discovered Mazdatrix sent me the wrong clutch hydraulic line. Pissed.

Alright, here's what I have found so far that I'll be selling..

- Several gray and one black FC dash pads - These are at the base of the windshield and usually have the defogging vents in them, but mine are missing the vents.
- Gray FC dash. Decent shape; some bubbling in the vinyl on the gauge hood (common) and a small section that has lifted and will promptly be re-glued in FRONT of the idiot light nook.
- N/A FC driveshaft
- FC front and rear bumper reinforcers
- Two instrument surrounds. Some/all of the switch mounts are cracked or broken. However, due to the unique way the wiper and headlight switches fit into these, it shouldn't be a problem anyway. Hell, mine are broken lol
- N/A cat-back exhaust in really awesome condition
- Two clutches with pressure plates. IIRC these are just LUK units... one has a shedload of life left in it, the other is so-so
- Idiot lights. Not sure if they're S4.5 or S5 yet, I'll know when I look at the part number. They're the 'blacked out' kind
- HVAC logicon

I'm sure there's more I haven't even begun to sort through yet.... I know there's one or two S4 N/A intake manifolds/throttle bodies and some fuel rail bits lying around somewhere..

 

BTW Ray, the 12a airbox is indeed the whole...well...box (Even though it's rounded?) It's dirty but *I* think it's in pretty fair condition... PM me later.


Oh yes, and I also have S4 aero package spoilers... the ones that go in front of the rear wheels below the door.

 

Did anybody do a point count tonight?

 

in my head:

1 SA X 1.5 = 1.5
5 FBs X 1 = 5
1 Rx-3 X 2 = 2
1 REPU x 2 = 2
5 FCs X .5 = 2.5
4 boingers X 0 = 0

13 12A points, I'm bad with names so I'm sorry about the lack of.

 

it was fun having a meet out there. real interesting.
did anyone catch the epic fireball my car shot out as i was leaving? was it a fireball?
it was a shame i was the only turbo car or even turbo 2nd gen there.

 

Sometimes Jeremy brings his FD, so you're not the only one ever but fro tonight yeas. I missed the fireball or pop or w/e, but I am glad you finally made it out. I had been telling you about this forever, wasn't it so much fun?

 

i wish there where bikini girls there to wash our cars and have water fights. now thats entertainment.

even if it was freezing.

 

Just got back Ray. You left about 1/2 hour before I did We stood around and Bs'd till about 10:30 or so. Ran into heavy fog thru SC and most of NC Added an extra 45-1 hr to the drive.

Great turn out for a chilly Feb night. Thanks for the calander(s) Ray.

 

last night was fun suxs i had to bail but i wil be out there every month from now on and great pics ray!

 

I confirm that count Chris. Now who can put the names to the count?

 

Chris, the bad news is I only found 1 screw for the steering wheel. Let me know if you want it.

Gene, the good news is that I found the attachment hardware for that air filter assembly (even if assembled incorrectly). I can give it to you at the next meet, or let me know if you want it sooner.

Pete, It is not a shame that you were the only turbo car there. Our meetings are not about who has the most power, or any ego tripping. Just the love for rotary powered vehicles. And if you figured out, the point system gives the most points to old school rotaries that are harder to find parts for and keep running. That is why and RX-8 is only .8 points and an FD is only .33 points. We welcome all rotaries, turbo-ed on Not, and welcome rotorheads to drive their piston powered vehicles, if need be.

 

Yay, my pilot bearings are here! Though I'm not entirely sure why I ordered four bearings and only three seals... Was I drunk?

Waiting on my new brake rotor, which should be here shortly. It's on a truck for delivery, so.. Still no word from Mazdatrix.

 

It IS only 8:30 there, after all, Collin.

 

Oh yeah, they're in California or somewhere, aren't they? lol

They need to open a store right here in Gawgia' for us OGTA members so we can just go and shop. :-P

I really should be cataloguing things right now, but I have a good bit of homework to do. Boring...

 

the points system eh? never figured that out. yah i know. i just expected more than me to have a turbo. atleast one fd or one more 2nd gen turbo. heh.

 

Pete, while the power is nice... Some people like myself have almost always daily driven an FC. Maybe a brand new, properly cared for TII would be fairly reliable.. Let's be completely honest with ourselves and admit that very few of these cars - turbo or not - have *not* been well looked after. As a result, there are quite a few more daily-driven non-turbo cars than turbo models... This is, at least, in my experience.

That being said, I would absolutely adore having the extra 'oomph!' with a turbo... It's just not in my budget for money and/or downtime.. Which I already have enough with driving my N/A every day.

 

1 SA X 1.5 = 1.5 - Andy
6 FBs X 1 = 5 - Mike, Gene, Greg the younger, Dave, Chris, and Ray
1 Rx-3 X 2 = 2 - Billy
1 REPU x 2 = 2 - Crit
5 FCs X .5 = 2.5 - Fred, Collin, Peter, Zach, and the guy in the 'vert,
4 boingers X 0 = 0 - Holly, Geoffry, Rick, and PAP Kevin (?)

14 12A points.

Did I do any better? I'm doing pretty good with the names, if I do say

Isn't that his CAI intake deal thing? I've never asked, only assumed...

 

Yay! Just received the correct brake rotor from Rock Auto!

Now at least I can do my brakes...prolly Saturday, who wants to come down?

 

what you talkin about willis? heh, no worries. i deliver bbq in mine. you just have to remove and replace all the stuff that breaks with eaither nothing, or a better item. although this does get expensive, i dont and currently never have had a girlfriend, so i have tons of money to myself. why not? ya know?

i tried and to make my FC the most reliable it can be, hence the meth/water injection. lord knows i need it while runing boost and 87 octane.

 

Yep, keeps my battery cool.
