And I sold the 4 Mike.

Where you bin living, under a rock?

If you've got any bad igniters, bring them to the Sept. meet. I'll lay hands on them.

Hey, did anybody watch this video long enough to see where the go-go girls pop up out of the bathtubs?

******** up here.... Some guy on Craigslist is selling an 85 S no sunroof with the motor out of it for 2500, I called him and told him I'd give him 4-500 and he laughed at me! I then had to tell him you don't buy dismantled 1st gens to make money, you do it for the love of the car, he didn't get it.....

Taking a poll.

Keep the wheels white?
Powder coat them silver, gun metal or bronze?
Change to some mesh wheels?

I vote bronze, give that puppy a little color.



Looking good Billy, is the Blue Truck coming to the September OGTA?

Ben picked up the 4 today, said he'd have it on the road next weekend.

Billy - Truck looks amazing! Depends. What are you planning to do in regards to factory vinyl? I say just run the wheels you have and get it running. That's always an easy thing to change later, after you get the accents squared away.

Ben - As soon as I saw the RX4 for sale I thought of you. I'm going to blame it on my 7th sense.

Update from a very uncurrent rotorhead. The SA is being prepped to have the coil overs removed and replaced with Eibachs. I just refuse to cut my bump stops, and Illuminas are too expensive to blow one up. Already replaced the year old oil with less than 100 miles on it. Once the suspension swap is complete, if I can keep myself from "oh, I should do this" like I tend to do, the SA should be back on the road. After that, I guess I will start working on getting the wide body running since no one wants to buy it.

All of this of course has to happen around school. Anyone want to pretend to be me in my classes?

Happiness is a Racing Beat exhaust system, a spotless carburetor, new 10mm Magnecor plug wires, clean igniters and a clean distributor. the distributor was much easier to re-install than I thought it would be (I cheated, I read the instructions).

Zoom, Zoom!

Billy, you have to go silver or gunmetal. But, the main thing is getting running and out to an OGTA meet. The beautificaton process never really ends.

Gun metal grey because cleaning wheels is a biatch!

I agree Fred. but you know those Republicans. They always want to paint everything gun metal grey.

But hey, like Tim says, cleaning wheels is a baitch. If you don't want to wash the wheels, paint 'em gray.


But if you want 'em to look good, paint 'em bronze.


Hey Donnie, you showing up for the Sept. meet? If so, I'm going, want to hear about the Alaska Adventure.


And the Times, They Are a Changin'

Tim, please answer the following multiple choice question.

All my cars are grey because:

A) I'm a Republican
B) Grey is the best color for cars
C) I don't like to wash cars
D) My wife prefers pink, but I wear the pants in this family
E) All of the above

Buahahaa! This is particularly funny to me since I have, switched parties multiple times, painted 6 work trucks charcoal Grey, my Subaru is Grey, and the 3 FBs that I have are Tornado Grey. I'll wait to hear Tim's reply before I give my unsolicited reply. :-)

Grey is definitely the best color for cars. I've had 1..2..3..4 tornado silver FC's, a grey BMW, the Ranger is grey, the wife's Accord is grey, I convinced my Dad to get a grey Ranger... And the FC in my back yard is sort of grey, too











Going back to rotaries- hasn't this guy been out to some of the meets? The price for his FD really has me itching to break the bank, but I've told myself I won't get a nice car until I have a proper garage to house it in... 1993 Mazda RX7 Turbo

I think the answer is F.

F) Tim's, Arron's, Brett's wife told them to buy gray cars.

And, BTW, they spell it grey on the other side of the pond. In the good old US of A it is gray. Fuzzy foreigners.

That should fire them up...

I go both ways on the gray/grey thing, as you can see from my spelling a few lines above:


"I agree Fred. but you know those Republicans. They always want to paint everything gun metal grey.

But hey, like Tim says, cleaning wheels is a baitch. If you don't want to wash the wheels, paint 'em gray."


That's one of the great things about being a liberal, you can hold two contradictory concepts in your brain at the same time.


Gray, Grey, it's all the same to me, it's a fine color deserving of respect. But not very interesting, as colors go.

Billy's truck wheels deserve better. They need to be painted gun metal bronze.

Give that puppy a little color and manliness.

Can anybody photoshop those bronze wheels on the blue truck for us?
