screw that road. like the video says, too many idiots on there to even want to take my chance on that road. the road to blairsville is way safer and just as fun.

anyone have a good recommendation for a good paint/body shop? i want to get the FC painted and i want it done right.

After watching that video you posted Ray, I think you should go to DGRR. What could possibly go wrong?

Mark it down Ray and I are officially committed to DGRR 2013. Michelle's bone marrow transplant will be behind us, and we won't let Ray do anthing socially from January 2013 until the DGRR 2013. In 4 months he should have enough social stamina saved up for the Dragon.

There aren't that many idiots out Thursday and Friday, And if you do a night run you have the road to yourself. It's really Saturday and Sunday you have to watch out for idiots.

Unless I show up.

I mean, those motorcycles were going way too slow. Those crashes don't mean anything, that road really isn't that bad. Just some idiots, like Peter says.

Put an FB on there to see how it's done.

Like Mike says, "What could possibly go wrong?"

[QUOTE=BrettLinton7;10996671]He had another set of RX7.com springs that he was saying were a little stiffer than the Eibach's but better in his opinion- hit him up if you want them, if you PayPal him the $ I could pick them up for you and bring them along with Ray's parts to the March 6 OGTA meet.

I did Brett. I'll let you know what comes of it.
Thanks for the tip and the offer.

Ok, I'm officially registered for DGRR. Now I just have to decide or find a place to stay.

Ray you sure you can't come out to play? Right now theres only 5 1st gens registered to go.
If the numbers are anything like last year thats 5 out of 300 cars. Less than a couple of % pts.
Of those, 4 are SAs, I guess the FBs just can't handle the dragon

"5 out of 300 cars"

Now if Ron Paul was looking at those numbers, he'd be saving it for the caucuses. More bang for your 12A.

Tim, there's a reason why there are more FB's still on the road than any other rotary.

We don't take them to the Dragon.

Michael, if we do crash the party at your cabin, can we rent Grand Prix for the evening entertainment?

Brett I got some good info from him, and the Eibachs sound like they would be best for me.
Thanks for the offer.
Ray if you decide you don't want the Eibachs, I'll take them.

March is the beginning of summer Jared, bring the FB. 20 is old enough and even FC's are cool, just not as cool as an FB, SA or Old School. Long drive down from Boston though, even for a Young Guy.

Eibach's are going on the White One Greg, sorry. You should snap up those RX7.com springs, I'll bet they'd bounce your butt pretty good.

Tim, thanks for the concern, the storms passed through here last night but we only got a good soaking rain, lucky this time. With the warm wet weather lots of things are starting to bloom around here.

Mike, that's Francois Hardy. You know, Billy's favorite actress?

Enjoy them Ray.
My old rickety back will be challanged by the Eibachs, so no need for a stiffer, fixed rate spring. He did say that they lower the car a little more than the Eibachs, which I would not mind.

I'll have to keep an eye out for some. Mike if you spy any more, please give me a tip.
Thanks

I think its time for another Cuban......

It's that turbo. Women are turned off by turbos.
