He's one of my favorites. You know he drives an FB.





Random shots of the Silver One I just took a few minutes ago. Notice how the X wheels on both sides are perfectly aligned.

 

That's cool

 

Ray, I need to bring the 82 over so you can align my X wheels lol.

O and the 82 is going up on EBAY soon

My SE is going to be lonely in the garage with out her.

 

Anyone want some FB's? 14 of them, to be exact. Plus some RX4's

Looks like I'll have to pay Wallace a visit. Thanks for the heads up Brett.

Alex we could align the X wheels on your 82 but they probably won't stay aligned very long. That model doesn't have the OCD (Oscillating Compensatory Deregulator), the OCD was only available on the 84/85 GSLs. Without an OCD the out-of-phase oscillations of the X wheels can't be read by the Compensator and you get no deregulation of your X wheel alignment, so they will get messed up pretty quickly. Especially if you are heavy on the gas pedal and curves (which of course you and your mom don't do, right?)

Dudes, Happy New Year, I hope 2011 is the best one yet and adds at least one or two more FB's to your stable.

Anybody going to the 1-4-11 OGTA meeting? I'm going to be there (with camera) and Dean the Hoosier is planning to exhibit the results of his latest Deer Hunting excursion out on I85. So that's two FB's already, a good FB turnout will show the rest of the world (including California) that Suwanee GA remains the Rotary Capital of the World.

 

will be making a drive to check this out. too bad i can't get it all.

 

I'll be there in my newly modified FC. We were coming back from Tennessee with some new years celebration explosives and a lady (who was pretty nice and was really upset about it) backed into me as I was backing out at McDonald's. My drivers side quarter panel has a big dent in it and the paint is chipped off pretty bad, but hopefully it should be a small fix and it won't be a pain in my ***. She admitted fault and we got a police report and everything, so let's just hope...

 

Y'all saw that, right? I don't want to be the only one that read that.

I'll be there with a new Christmas toy - a brake light checker! Lotus Tim might know what that means.

 

Ray has typed that for months and still we do not see him. I think he must be going to another place that is actually called Twisted Sister.

Crit, bring some blinker fluid too.

Holly

 

I am planning to to be there Tuesday.

Anyone have an SE coolant overflow bottle they are willing to part with, Ben, Crit, etc.?

I hope to be struting around like a real rotorhead Tuesday. I installed the 2GFMOC, removed the rats nest, killed the dread lung mustard, solved the partial flooding problem, got the beast idleing smooth (nearly perfect) at 750 rpm. Now, if it can just hold together until tomorrow night.

 

We should hold the January OGTA at this guys house.

I wish I had about $5k of mad money. Those cars would look really good in my front yard.

 

Trying to remember.... I have a few ideas.

 

Holly has me figured out. Last couple of OGTA's I've been headed down to John's Creek. I figure with Crit and the rest of you guys down at Twisted Sisters, I've got a better than decent chance of getting a good waitress.

However, tomorrow I will be at Twisted Sisters. I promise.

Mike I can't believe you ditched your Rat's Nest.

 

Ray, you were quite a hunk in your younger days...

 

awwe we can be twinsys at the otga meet i got one in my pass. side

 

lol thanks. You still want this center console lid? Also, did you ever get the extra set of mirrors and want to trade me that passenger side T2 mirror?

 

wel if peter sees this post.. maybe it'll remind him to bring anything he wants to unload to otga including the mirrors :goodjob:

and about the center console lid to be honest i have no extra cash on me right now i just had to pull 5 grand out of my *** to get a lawyer so car mods are getting put on the back burner

 

You know guys, im actually heading down to georgia in a couple of weeks to meet that guy with the million rx7's. bringing a few rotor heads with me. we should hold a mini meet for the arrivial of us all. LOL any one looking for an awsome engine? I have a fully built bridge port with new housings for sale. it dynoed at 218hp at the wheels, on C16 with a weber 45 all motor. thought about dropping it into my vert, just dont know how i like a 12A in a second gen. just reasembled it to check it out after the session. not a single scrach. let me know what yal think

 

Don't worry about it, you can have it since I've got another spare for myself and I'm not using it anytime soon. If you ever get another set of mirrors, we can talk about it then. I'll try to remember to grab it tomorrow evening.

Anyone else need anything FC related? I've got a spare coil for you 2GDFI guys that I don't want much for. And I just got another set of FC front strut bolt covers if anyone wants them just to make Ray go mad...

 

i didnt think you where around any more.



to all you guys, i have a surprise. I GOT ME A TRUCK!!

1980 Toyota SR5. 206k miles on it. EVERY single thing done to it was documented. im the 3rd owner. 2nd owner owned it from 1982 till 2011.

 

Never seen a toyota truck with a 12A in it before, nice snag Peter!

Brett, remember: Just say no to cheezy plastic FC strut covers.

That engine sounds pretty tempting Andre, but don't bridge ports go brap brap alot and are hard to idle? Might not be the best thing in a daily driver, no?

See you dudes this evening. They say the weather is going to be terrific, clear, in the upper 50's, way above average for January.

The Rotary Gods are smiling on us.

Mike, true, I was quite a hunk in my younger days. And I'm even more of a hunk now, gained 35 lbs since I got married.

 

why are you assuming it has a 12a in it ray? it has a 20r.

 

Can anyone hook me up with a coolant overflow bottle from an GSLSE?

I'm sure we can work out some type of trade or cash deal.

 

you know ray, normally i would agree with the idle, but if the port timing is spot on the engine will idle smoothly. well.... as smooth as a brap brap brap will let you. lol as far as shutting off at lights and all that jazz, I have never had an issue with that myself, and this engine hasnt either. but the mighty BRAP BRAP isnt for everyone. most people love the smoothness and simplicity of a stock port. I cant say I blame them but if one wants a nasty amount of power N/A out of a 12A other than PP this is the most drivable setup I have ever seen. Did I mention that it mad 218 at the wheels? granted that was on C16 but 185 na on pump gas isnt a hard target to rectify

 

Another month and another meeting missed. Either gonna be stuck here at work, or at home packing for vacation followed by immediate work trip. Maybe in 2011?
