Chris, you're also short the rear wiper arm and all 3 washer nozzles (cowl and back hatch), though I don't know if you'll be replacing them. Any problems with your alternator after stripping your wiring?

no but I got a vac leak somewhere. I think the rear advance slips off and there isn't enough slack at the "T". I need some hose clampy things for it. When I drive away it sounds like a sucking noise underneath the car and at higher RPM it makes shrieking noises, like a high RPM blowoff valve kinda thing. Alternator seems fine, the battery hasn't died yet lol.


And yeah, the nozzles wouldn't be a bad idea as well as the wiper.

Tim if it's got a 12A it's all good.

Stu we'll look into the discount and give you a kick back if we can get 10% or better.

Chris, I should have a PW motor. What's a PW motor anyway? Make a wish list, in English, and PM it to me.

Mike you've endured the last eight years just as I have. Are you better off? I'm looking forward to January 20th like I look forward to the end of graduate student seminars. Here's an interesting fact. Anybody see any correlations?



You are right about one thing though, August 16th is going to be fun.

Thanks Crit, I was thinking Chris was working on his rear wiper so I was trying to make PW fit in that hole.

Mike I first saw something like it, without the correction for gross national product, in the NY Times or on CNN about Bush's current budget, which includes the largest dollar deficit in US history (he blames it on our tax rebates). But to find that one I just googled "national debt", there were thousands of hits and all the graphs look pretty much the same.

PS because this post was going by to fast earlier and I missed this one from Crit:

For this week, I'm bringing:

Diodes for the flash-to-pass FB mod
Freeze plugs for Chris's fuel injector bungs
Oil pressure and voltage combo gauge for Simononononovich (can never remember how many syllables).
Grey GS driver's door panel with manual windows
Hood prop rod clips for everyone that's broken theirs.

Crit, you are too generous! Could you toss that red kick panel in there too?

Thanks!

Ray

Tim, Are you planning what we talked about briefly at the last meet for a new project? If so that is going to be sweet. If you need any help let me know.

What is the info on the Ft. Lago meet idea? Is that going to be like the Hartwell meet? I'll be down to do another Ga run,..This time in a 12A!!

Don't you just love it when Tim gets coy?

Dave, here's the link to the OSJC Fort Yargo meet (not Lago, I think that's in Texas):

https://www.rx7club.com/se-rx-7-forum-35/old-skool-japanese-car-meet-atlanta-sat-aug-16-a-769086/

Looks like quite a party, us rotaries will show them boingers what for.

Hope you and Elizabeth can make it. In a 12A of course.

Hey, are any of these cars boingers? Looks like OSJC's are rotaries too!:





OK, that might be an old celica in there, not a bad car.

A neighbor like 3 house's down owns a RWD celica. When I was a wee lad I used to play with their kids. He won't sell it because it was the first car he bought on his own. Its a shame, all it does is sit there, it needs a restoration badly. Or a 12aPP.

Oh, and its the same color as Solar Gold on an RX.

Ray, are you calling me a carp?

Yeah Dave you guessed it. Nothing procured yet, its just in the idea phase now. I need to get my pottery sales going to fund it. So I need to finish off the pottery shed and start cranking out earthenware for the home and garden.

That car might not look so bad if they updated the wheels. Where'd you find that?

By the way, are there any other parts requests out there for tomorrow night?
