Sorry I have been MIA update on our FB
Installed a new master
Working on the NIKKI rebuild (harder then we thought)
Bought some 15" Konigs on CL and swapped out the wheels. OEM ones will probably be for sale soon.
If we get the nikki working we will have a custom fabed holly plate and carb for sale.


We are going try and make it out to the next meet baring crazy weather and wives probably not in the FB but we would love to soak up some knowledge.

Looks like plenty of sunshine for next Tuesday January 5th, high near 55 degrees F, light ENE winds. El Nino is a Rotary God.

Michael, bring your Holley stuff, I'll bring mine, we can compare notes.

Brett, those wheels look like ****, I wouldn't put them on my lawn tractor.

Speaking of CL ads, I just don't see 800 hp here.

As soon as I get new employment, I'm tagging the FC, I miss it too damn much.

Try the auto glass companies. you might be surprised at what they have. My buddy got a 1980 Datsun 210 windshield from them one time. It wasn't too expensive (I know cause he's dirt poor).

That is not his ad, we're just curious about the rx4 in the back ground.

Also I've tried several company's with no luck on a windshield, I guess as a last resort I could look into lexan.
Just to be sure though coupe and 4 door sedan are different correct?

I wish I'd kept that RX-4, sounds like parting it out could have been profitable.

Anyway Ben has it now and that doesn't look like his driveway, so that must be another one.

And that SA does look pretty nice, the LE wheels make the car in my humble opinion.

Anybody making it out to the 1-5-16 OGTA meeting? The weather is looking chilly but nice.

kevin talked to the guy that is selling the sa. the 4 belongs to his friend. it is the same one. current owner of the 4 is in the process of putting a 13b back in it. seems ben got it running with a 12a then profited from it, just as i thought would happen. kevin asked if the 4 could be bought, he said no.

Has anyone had this happen? I went to move my spark plug wires out of the way for another project and the core of the plugs came out? These plugs only had about five thousand miles on them. Could the Magnecore wires cause this?

quite possible, i dislike the magnecor wires because of their death grip on the plug tip. i've broken half a dozen wires, so it doesn't surprise me that you had this as a result either.

I am not feeling well and will not make it tonight.

I'll contact TM and remind them OGTA is coming. BTW, the guy that worked out the apps and room with is Matt Pollard. He is the GM there.

Do the Magnecore wires increase the current to the plugs and therefore ware them out faster?
