Here is a must read, and the guy is from Atlanta!

https://www.rx7club.com/1st-gen-gene...-1979-1099646/

He say's he's been to OGTA meetings before, in his FD (see pic below).

Does anybody know or remember him? We need to get him and his spark yellow SA to the May 3 OGTA meeting!









And check out this Flash from the Past, his Mom's car:

He took it to 7stock last year and while there had it dynoed at around 637 rwhp on street high octane. And 692 on racing fuel. Those pics I posted are before he modified it to have powered gull wing doors plus a ton of other mods.

I met him at last year's AMOC meet. He's a super cool guy, I think he recently sold his FD.

I'd say that was a good move, super sexy FD for a mint yellow SA. Hope he shows up.

Anybody else going to the May 3, 2016 OGTA Meeting?

I'll be there with a fresh roll of film, KodaColor 200, 36 shots.

I like to use the faster film so that I can keep taking pictures after dark.

See you there Crit, I'm looking forward to see what you've got cooking.

I hear that we are going to have an infestation of RX-8's. You first gen guys better get out there (with a first gen *cough*Ray*cough*) or we will have to rename the meet.

I'll bring the bug spray.

And I'll bring that connector Michael, I'm sure at least one of my harnesses is worth sacrificing.

Fred says he'll be there to pick up his plexiglass sun roof, so if anyone wants to see what one of these looks like now's your chance, they are pretty cool and feather light.

Tommy sorry, no registered FB for this meeting but I'll try to bring some FB-related stuff to remind y'all that this is a 12A event, 13B's are honorary citizens.

Since I'm currently an "honorary" member because I have an FB, just to show you that once I had one here is a photo, circa 1989, of a time when I owned both. Black FB ( which mike currently has engine/transmission out of) and 84 GSL right, in my backyard in Akron right when my first Daughter was born. Taken with a "35mm camera with film" ASA 200 ray!!

Ray you need ASA 400 to do the night shots justice and not have blurring. I know, because I
took pictures to get through college. Mostly sporting events.

I would use 400 for most evening events Tim, but those Old Guys don't move too fast so 200 does the job.

Paul 13B-powered vehicles are considered honorary 12A's, not the Real Deal but well intended experiments that didn't really work like they'd hoped.

You should have held on to that GSL, nice looking car!

I got a pm from a new guy, name's John, lives in Buford, who has recently come into an RX-3.

He was asking about advice on tuning and I told him an OGTA meeting is the place to find it.

So hopefully he'll stop by tomorrow evening, with the RX-3 if it doesn't go into the paint shop this evening.

And I'm still trying to figure out who this guy is, hopefully he'll bring that sweet yellow SA to the meeting tomorrow night:



Is Billy still planning to show up in his Project X?
