Looks like its time to buy a new clutch.

Any recommendations?

Yes I can........But you already knew that

Disney was kick ***! Happy to be back home though.

Yes its a 78 blue sp. The white one was sold and I am keeping the blue one. She needs some work but the odometer reads 6,800 miles.

 

I'm actually older than my FC, only by a year though.

 

Hey guys, click this.

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.

Haha Rotor Motor would be great but I'll stay original for a little while.

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.

 

So Chris, now you have to sign up for Zoom-Fest. And get to talking about it on the Miata Forum to get others signed up. Time's a wasting.!

Hope you're back to normal soon, man. If you need a ride anytime after surgery for whatever or just want someone to keep your FC running, I'm a phone call away We wouldn't want Wanda to have to sit, now, would we?

Every car that I've owned excluding the Maxima have been older than me The 'vert, 86 FC, 87 FC, and 85 FB...

That's awesome, Chris. Are you going to use the wheels off of SPII or are you buying different ones for the Miata? I like that Z32 beside it, too. Anywho, congrats on the buy. If my FC's running soon, you and Jeff and I should hit up the mountains again.

 

So a lady backed into my car yesterday, anyone have an s5 passenger side tail they are willing to part ways with?

 

Yeah definitely going to try and draw in a Miata crowd.

 

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.

 

Well here she is. All she needed was a front 02 sensor and a few thrust bearings.

 

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.

 

Sweet! Hope to see you there.

RX-7 went Bye bye today



O and look what i found.

 

That's a cool idea Ray. Feature a different rotary car each month. Of course it would take 16 FEs to equal 2 FBs ..

 

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.

 

Full street address or it didn't happen.

Wait... what???... the clutch??

 

lol its at a shop that i brought my car to in powder springs. It has a skyline motor in it. Still sweet!

That car is sweet!!! I love his other video where the camera is on a chase car, Sounds so good!

 

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.
