I found snow up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was pretty cold up there.

Oh, and my noise wasn't the CV axles... turns out the intake was just taping the side of the body; its so close to my head it was disturbing.

That's what happens when you put a V6 in a space where a 4 ought to be.

I don’t see the casting seam on the outer surface as being any concern. That’s just where the 2-pc exterior molds meet together and of no consequence really.

It looks billet, I think it might be where they profiled it half way from one side and then flipped it over.

I drug Frankenrex out from behind the shop yesterday, my helper gave it a power wash. It's moving closer to the top of the project list... I want to attempt to rebuild a 13B FC engine for it sometime in the next few months.

Hey guys it’s Chris Rowe. A quick reminder is the sexy pants Rx7 and I had Ray’s white one shell for a spell before someone rear ended it.

I’ve come to the last 2 meets so Jeremy, Alex, Holly, and Kristy have all seen it but I’m back in an Rx7 as of about 5 week ago. I have missed ya’ll hope to see some old faces at a future event. I know spotty attendance and the rarity of the cars is trying to kill the meet but just wanted to throw it out there that I’m going to try to attend as regularly as I can.

wow that was super special to scroll through! Look at just how many cars would come to the meets!

That’s (a younger and much skinnier) me on the top of the van in the red shirt in the Zoom Fest pic. The cream color first gen in these pics was also mine.

That's great news Chris! It will be good to see you and your new 7.

Got pics?

OGTA has shifted away from regular meets to specific events, DGRR primarily.

But also Gas and Coffee and occasional mountain drives as well.

If you want to hang out with the young guys, contact Brett.

If you want to hang out with the really old guys, come to DGRR.

Good to hear from you, just proves OGTA's never die.

Rower2ry, I like that.

Pretty FC.

Does it have a 12A in it?

I’ve never actually had a 12A car. Even my first gen had a 13B swapped in it.

Itnis interesting. You used to say the FCs were too new to be worth as many “12A” points as a first gen’s. However the newest FC is still 6 years older today than the oldest SA22 was at the time I started coming to OGTA.

Yeah, you FC guys are starting to earn a little respect.

Of course if you ditched the 13B in your new FC and replaced it with a 12A you get even more respect.

And, more 12A points!

already seen that ray. it could be free but it still doesn't change the fact of no ability to transport it or place to keep it.

Not too bad a price if it's complete. Where is that colorful gem located?

There is a green one for sale in NJ on Facebook.



Also a nice RX4 wagon near you Ray!

The yellow hooded REPU is in Suches, Georgia, wherever that is.

No REPU for me, or RX-2, 3 or 4.

I'm strictly a 1st gen kind of guy.

No Nikki, no 12A, no interest.
