When posting you'll see a + key to the left of the send key. That is the key.

We do have a FaceBook page... search: OGTA, ( Old guys with 12As ) There is a pic of Ray's old white FB on the track at Road Atlanta as the cover page. I'm sure Ray will repost the pic here for you and then explain the position of the X-wheels in the pic.

I have one that's about to be in pieces, but it had a blown front coolant seal.

You should buy a soft seal kit from Atkins and do a DIY rebuild! Make a party out of it.

Waz up 'Sip, you should know most of us Old Guys don't do Facebook. You need to post the pics here on the OGTA thread if you want them to count.

It's easy. Just upload your pics to some photo place, like photobucket, then copy the image location and put [img] in front of the address and [/img] at the end of the address - your rotary will appear!

You can probably even copy the image address of the shot you posted on Facebook, if they aren't selling it already.

Check this out, it's Cookboy's FB in all her glory:





Greg, Lookin' Good! That's one pretty pre-silencer, it's too bad those things don't hang out the side of the car so we could see them better. Nice snag, even the cat's impressed!



I'll toss the RB header and gasket in the 3, she'll be at the Human Chinese Restaurant in Chamblee at noon tomorrow (Thursday) having lunch.

Stop by if you get a chance!

You other rotor heads too, time for some Chinese!


Also Greg, are those floor tiles real or just a real good linoleum? They look great.

Whoops, almost forgot, here's the requested pic of the White One. Check out the OCD on that beauty!

Good idea 'Sip, let the Secretary handle it.

Any takers at the Hunan today? I'll be there, 12:00 noon.

I would have joined, but I just saw this and by the time I would drive there, you would be gone. Enjoy!

We missed you Holly, the header swap went as planned and the Chinese food was great!

Greg promises to post pics of his new installation soon, probably the only RB header/AT combination in the USA. And it's all chrome, very pretty.

Sorry I missed the Chinese. With the sequester and all, us federal workers are having to earn our keep. Not like life in the academic community. I may have to wait until the next OGTA meeting (8/6) to get my fill of rotary fumes. And SkyActive fumes. Does anything come out of that exhaust pipe, Ray, or is that just for show?

I thought that all that came out of skyactive exhausts were rainbows and unicorn farts?

Mike the exhaust pipe is both for the SkyActiv fumes and for show. Notice the nagare styling, truly a thing of inspirational beauty:



Yes Tommy, both rainbows and unicorn farts are produced by the SkyActive process.

And if you breath SkyActiv exhaust for 10 minutes, you'll begin to hallucinate.

SkyActiv technology, the cure for a filthy environment and repressed imaginations.

Not bad looking. If I bought it, I would put the side moldings back on.

Nice gsl. And u r spot on about the side molding Warning!!! If the a/c is not working u might have to leave her at the shop for a while. I'm going thro the same thing now. Between trying to get the part and the part u finally get doesn't work any better than the one u had before. Then u have to order another one and pray that the mechanic knows what he is doing. And that part is good. Which all of this has happened to me. I've had my car almost 2 months and my mechanic has had it 5 weeks and still no air. Then they have it all working but when I go to pick it up i notice that now the radiator that was fine before now needs replacing. Luv the cars but need a specialist bad. I think my dude is messing it up more than anything. If I had a good mechanic I would buy it. But as it sits it would be a money pit. And that's a shame.

You can never go wrong with Tender Blue Metalic and it does look nice. But, I better stay focused on the all the things I already own and need to take care of.

That beng said, it would be a really nice upgrade for one of you guys with an FC, FD, FE, SkyActive.

The next RX7 I purchase will definitely be an FD (with the exception of any cheap FC's I encounter along the way). My truck can seat 5, that's enough of a family vehicle for me

I got the 'pleasure' of putting an exhaust system on my little brother's '03 Mustang yesterday. Guess who learned how to MIG weld.

Looks like a Volvo to me Brett. You sure that thing is a Mustang? That might be why you had to weld the exhaust system in.

Hey, who's '55 Chevy is that in the background? Now that's a bit of class.

Mike, the White One II will have a SkyActiv 12A build in it, the best of both worlds. '80s styling and 21st century technology.

The WOT will be totally Green, but I'm electing the SkyActiv option that adds Artificial Rotary Fumes (ARFs) to the exhaust to give it that genuine Rotary smell.

My grandpa currently has 3 55/56 Bel Air's. I think he's getting rid of the blue one in the background. One of the other ones is in decent running/driving shape but needs to be restored, and the 3rd is a roller ready for a motor/drivetrain and paint. He also has a 28 Model A with a cut down roof that's a constant project, and another Model T that's just the body. And a 63 Chevy truck... And he got rid of a 50's International truck a while back. All kinds of treasures... He lives about 2 miles north of Road Atlanta.
