She did. I love all rotaries, but the FE's only get 1/8th of a 12A equivalent point. (0.125). 
Ray you should propose a new 12A equivalent point system to vote on at the December meeting, then implement it starting January, 2012. Prepare your changes from our current 12A equivalent point system:
2.000 Old School
1.500 SAs
1.000 FBs
0.750 PreProduction FCs
0.500 FCs
0.330 FDs
0.125 FEs
Open to special exceptions per meeting

Ray, I will be there tomorrow, if it's still on and we are not waiting until next week for Dean.
11-04-11, 04:04 AM
We are on for tomorrow (I mean today, Friday) at the Hunan at noon. Mike will be there, and maybe Greg and Tommy?
Dean can't make it because he has an important meeting across town at noon. I could be a minute or two late depending on how badly I agitate the students this morning.
We can form a subcommittee and discuss the 12A equivalency issue, so if you have any dogs in this fight you need to be there.

Greg, does that mean if there's a crisis at work, you'll be at the Hunan, or if there's a crisis at work, you won't be at the Hunan?
And I have a preposition.
How about if we make the Friday lunch at the Hunan a regular thing, that way some of those really important people like Greg (both Elder and Younger), Deer Slayer, Holly and just about everybody else in OGTA might be able to find at least one day on their calendars when they could join us?

I think we should start having people send in pictures of their FBs with OCD working. It is amazing to me that after 25+ years the OCD systems are still working so well.
11-04-11, 03:42 PM
Yep, the Mazda engineers knew what they were doing when they designed the OCD. To this date the 84/85 FB is the only vehicle on the road with OCD technology.
I have another really great idea about the 12A Equivalency Ratings. We can discuss it at the December meeting.
Great seeing you guys at the Hunan today! It's good to get together once in awhile and solve a couple world problems, since the democrats and republicans seem incapable of doing anything. Another Hunan lunch or two and we should be able to end unemployment and the recession.

You crack me up.Thanks again for lunch, Ray. You're too generous. I always enjoy it.

I met a really cool gentleman named Rick a few months back at one of the Caffeine and Octane meet, he has one of the nicest 1st gen i have seen in a long time, and original owner since the car was delivered from Japan. Well long story short, I have invited him to join the next OGTA meet. Anyway, Rick needs some help from our knowledge group with his carb tunning, (I believe he is having trouble with some idling issues with his new RB/Holley Carb, and what would be a better way to join the OGTA and pick our brains...
Rick, if you ever get on this forum, please introduce yourself
anybody?? Ray, Billy, Mike, Crit, Gene, Tim, Robert..just to name a few...

I'm sure he could get lots of information and help at the December OGTA meeting, and if he brings the car he can probably get the carb tuned on the spot as well.
But not me, I'm a Nikki guy, after that it's all fuel injection as far as I know.

Yeah, Rick, come on out to the Dec meet. If we can't get the Holley tuned, maybe we can install a Nikki. Seriously, come on out somebody will have experience with a Holley.
11-06-11, 06:00 PM
Really can't tune one over the net .but in person the problem can be obvious. holleys can be a pain and it could be a vac leak . he needs to bring it out and you need to bring the rx3 out Marco [i need to look it over since it is the bench mark for nice rx3 in the OGTA stable]

Ray, go out and check on Jackson. I heard on the radio this morning there was goat roaming around near the 85/985 split.
10 grand for an FB? Maybe I should move my retirement savings into FBs.

$200 is the right price for an FB. $10,000 is way too much, especially for that cop baiting candy cane. $10,000, that's more than I have put away for retirement and more than I have budgeted for FB's through 2050.
Thanks for the heads up on the wandering goat Mike. I checked down in the Goat Pasture and Jackson is fine and in his usual pissy mood. Here's what he told me over a beer:
"If only he’d written them on his wrist.
The most recent Republican debate will be remembered forever as the time Rick Perry announced that as president he’d immediately close down three federal agencies and then could remember only two. (“Commerce. Education. What’s the third one?”)
He appeared to be asking Ron Paul, who gave him the wrong answer. There we were, back in third grade, peeping at the next kid’s paper. Except for the part where everybody in class is running for president.
So much for Governor Perry, who went out not with a bang but an “oops.”
If only he’d prepared! I can see him now, jogging in the morning, his coyote-killing pistol tucked precariously into his sweatpants, chanting: “President Perry knocks off three: Commerce! Education! Energy!” all the way down the trail. Really, it would have made all the difference.
Rick Perry, we hardly knew ye. Farewell.
Nobody is ever going to recall anything else about Wednesday night’s debate. The other candidates behaved exactly the way they always have. Mitt Romney is still smarmy. Newt Gingrich is still pompous. Herman Cain is still not going to be president.
Pity the Republican voters. They aren’t asking for much. They just want a candidate who’s really conservative but not totally crazy. Who has verbs in his sentences. Who didn’t drive to Canada with the family dog strapped to the roof of the car. Yet they’re still searching with such desperation that you expect to wake up some morning and see a headline like: “Poll Says Most Likely Voters in South Carolina Favor the Geico Gecko.”
Going into the debate, Gingrich was on a little upswing, which seemed to make him even more self-important than usual. “I love humor disguised as a question. That’s terrific,” Newt said snarkily, when CNBC’s Maria Bartiromo called him on his claim that the media were doing a bad job of covering the economy. An excellent example of journalistic failure to dig deeply, Newt said, would be the way nobody asks Occupy Wall Street protesters who would pay for the parks if all the businesses failed. The crowd loved him.
Can you imagine how all this makes Rick Santorum feel? The former senator from Pennsylvania has been running around for years now, talking about conservative social values and trying to get right-wing Republican voters to think of him as presidential timber. He’s good at debating, and he says “family” at least 5,000 times per appearance. He points out constantly that he thought of everything first. But he’s never gotten a bump. The Republican core turned to Michele Bachmann. They had a fling with Rick Perry. They fell in love with Herman Cain. They had a mad moment in the school cloakroom with Donald Trump. Now, they’re sniffing around Newt.
Romney dismissed a question about his perpetual position-changing by pointing out that he had been married for 42 years and had been a Mormon his entire life. Is this what we’re going to be getting for the rest of the campaign? An opponent points out that he’s changed his stance on something, and Romney will whip out a sweater that he’s been wearing since sophomore year in college?
The debate took place right after a series of state and local elections that seemed to suggest that voters were getting tired of crazy. From sea to shining sea, there was a very strong anti-nutcase tenor to the results. Arizona got rid of the State Senate leader who championed the anti-immigrant frenzy. Ohio voters repudiated their loopy governor’s war against public employees. And, in Mississippi, voters resoundingly rejected an anti-abortion amendment that would have made every fertilized egg a person.
Things have gone so far that Mississippi has to pull us back.
The personhood proposal didn’t come up during the debate. The pack-trailing Jon Huntsman has been the only Republican candidate who’s said he thought it went too far. In a Fox interview, Romney danced around the edges. When asked, “Would you have supported the constitutional amendment that would have established the definition of life at conception?” Mitt said, “Absolutely.” But it was possible, you know, that he was referring to a different amendment and not the one that all the Republicans happened to be talking about this fall.
Just for the heck of it, let me remind you that this is the same guy who said, “Abortion should be safe and legal in this country” when he was running for office in Massachusetts against Ted Kennedy. He said quite a bit more along the same line, but it looks as though we’ll have plenty of time to revisit that. Twelve months of Mitt, actually. Yikes."
That Jackson, he can be a pain in the *** sometimes.

That White One was a great car and she will rise from the ashes someday.
I like Ron Paul and I like his ideas. He's the only one who makes any sense. I'm just glad he's not electable.

I think Rocky has 10K on that ebay price because he really doesn't want to sell it
unless he can make a bundle on it. Good strategy, he knows no OGTA in his right
mind would pay that much for any 1st gen. He'll have that car for years to come I
bet.
Ray, you better stop talking to Jackson, he's putting ideas in your head again.

Ray, you might want to get Jackson off the Coors Light...
Although I do have to admit Jackson was a good counter balance after spending a week with my inlaws watching Fox News 12 hours a day. After Jackson's little talking to me, I feel fair and balanced. Where have I heard that before?
Glad to hear he wasn't running around out on 85. That road scares me when I have over 2000 lbsof metal and plastic wraped around me.
