That is the second SA I have seen this week with an upside down steering wheel

I checked out an SA near Florida the other day and it also had an upside down steering wheel. Must be a new trend

I said farewell to my first FC on Sunday, it traveled nearly 280,000 miles in it's lifetime. Gene's using the front clip to fix up a wrecked FC.

What to do? Rebuild the engine or buy a used running engine. I don't know how to rebuild one but could swap one pretty easily. The trick is finding a good s4 engine. The S5 block I have was supposedly good when taken out. Does anybody have a way to check compression on it? Will the S4 intake and exhaust fit on an S5 block? I have been so out of the loop lately I can't remember what fits on what. I really need to make it out to a meet again. I miss y'all.

Front covers are different for the OMP system. From rotary resurrection's site: Swapping an 89-91 (s5) engine into an 86-88 (s4) car

Tim, are you registered? I have been checking the site and the only people I can pick out are Robert, Marco, and me.

Oh, I stand corrected. Just checked the site and I see Tim and I think Michael registered. No professor???

There are a few people from the atlanta area that aren't on the registered list as we are volunteers. We never seem to get listed anywhere.

First they put on those fancy LE wheels.

https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generati...983-a-1027304/


Then they install one of them there Del Hortos...


Next Tuesday is OGTA meet. I am taking pictures this time. Who knows, we might even get a special visitor from Jefferson.

Authentic special edition LE wheels on an FB, yes.

Italian Del Horto carbs on an FB, not for the traditionally inclined, but great for picking up chicks.

I'll buy some film for my camera and take some pics of the new LE wheels after I get them cleaned up and the new caps installed.

Maybe even hoof it down to the March OGTA if it's not snowing.

Ray, you can drive Flipper to the meet. If things go as planned this weekend, I won't be in a rotary either. The Blue One is starting its beautification process for DGRR.

Kevin, it will be nice to see you in April. But don't get too excited about winter being over up there come April. I used to live up there and have seen it snow more than a foot in April. That should cheer you up.

Tomorrow is OGTA. Who's coming out?

Things did not go as planned this weeked, so I'll be driving the Blue One.

Ray, if you come out, I'll let you take her for a ride so you can get a little rotary fix.
