Not bad. When are we going to swap the rotor motor in it
Let me know when you are available for me to pick the white one up.

You can come get it as early as tomorrow. I'd say today but in 30 mins I'll be at work all the way until 10:00 tonight.

I did the timing belt/water pump/etc on our 2002 MP5 yesterday, which as I understand it has the same engine (2.0 L dual overhead cam hemi) as the Miata. Not as easy as working on a 12A, but very doable.
I'm beginning to like that boinger, might get a miata myself someday. Might even put a 12A in it.

I have been invited to come out to your July gathering, and meet a few of you before ZoomFest 2010. I am going to try my best to be there, and look forward to meeting some new rotary folks.

Maybe we could have a "Special Events" OGTA meeting featuring FE's (RX-8's) since the last meeting was for FC's. Hope you can make it down trhoads.

I think I should have no problem getting there, all depends on work load, and work at home. I think it would be nice to meet a few of the folks I don't know, prior to Zoom Fest, put faces and names with cars, talk to those that will be there for the event.
It would be fun to have a few of the 8's come out, I bet I could get a couple of the owners to join in, we have a very active group of RX-8 owners in the Atlanta area. One of the most track addicted groups in the country.

Alex, you had it towed to a shop for a clutch problem/replacement?
You could have asked Brett or myself. We're quite good at swapping clutches ^.^
I have an announcement to make, guys..
There is simply no way I will be coming to Zoom Fest this year. I could go and simply not run the track event, but that more or less defeats the purpose for me. The only chance I have at going is if I sell this Maxima outright, buy the car I need, and have money leftover after getting it registered and all that.
As for selling the Maxima, I have even gone as far as to put a For Sale sign (A big one) in the window with a printed sheet of details, blah blah blah. One would think that a car where everything works, including the sweet A/C, being the super comfortable, powerful set of wheels that Maxine is, she would sell more easily.
Though as I have been thinking, and Kristy pointed out... Who wants a luxury sedan with a REAL transmission in it? People want slush boxes in this country.
If I end up having to drag it to Vermont with me, it should be really easy to sell and I'll probably even get more money out of it. Rust-free, affordable cars with manual transmissions up there seem to sell more easily according to my friends.
