Ehh I think the stant ones are the only ones autozone has for the FC, and they dont have those little holes or something. Idk- Mazda ones are only like 7 bucks. But if he gets the thermostat in by tuesday and puts in the clutch fan and radiator shroud I gave him, he said he might come.

And I just got another job about a week ago, and they've loaded me up with hours. And Tuesday I work 3-close . Sorry OGTA! Smokey and I will see you soon...

I've got the under tray. Installing it tomorrow. T-Stat hopefully will get here early enough on Tuesday so I can install it and bleed the cooling system and PRAY that the problem is fixed!

Awwww Ray, you can't miss the meet. Maybe Kathy would come down and bring your visitors. They should see what the passion for your car is all about.

It was his old Celica, but I got the celica by trading Thomas's old white rotory 510 to a guy named ozzy for the Celica. Small world. huh? I wish I could have kept the purple 71 Celica. It was really nice.

Ray, If I put a 12a rotory in a 1959 Mercedes 180, and ran the exhaust out of the front fender, so that flames shot out across the door, would that count as an OG/TA car? What would it count as? LOL! Hopefully this winter we will get the engine into the body and start sorting out the brakes and electrical gremlins. It won't be fast, but it should be cool.

Not like SEX sex, but hot damn that car is awesome. Let me know how that goes, and if you need help!!!

Dave, a '59 Mercedes 180 with a 12A and custom exhaust fits into the Old School Custom category and would be worth two 12A equivalents. Haven't seen one in quite awhile though.

Stu could you post the photos from your google? A little sex is always good for readership on the OG@TA thread.

I developed a soft spot for the Hindustan Ambassador while in India. It's basically a retooled and (now) EFI'd version of a Morris Oxford. Always thought it would be slick with a rotary swap.

I'll be there. Billy will be there. I've got parts for Chris Rowe, if he'll be there. I think Collin will be there in some manner of FC.

Ray we missed you. And where has Mike been. We might have to change the name of the club. I don't think any of the old guys made it tonight.

Thanks to Dave for taking his 3rd gen for a long drive today and Stu for riding shotgun. I hear these guys are not coming down to our meet again, unless we return the favor and visit a meet in NC. Dave we are waiting for the date of the meet.

Ray, Stu took pics for us. I'm so glad he came with the camera, because I don't think anyone else had a camera, other than the ones in their cell phones, and we know they don't turn out good. Stu got a pic of the new member, Andrew and his red SA ride.

Hmmm, the count, lets see there were:
2 SAs Andy and Andrew
1 SE Crit
1 FC Collin
2 FDs Dave and Jeremy

Riding shotgun - Stu
Driving pistons - Billy and Holly

So there you go 6 Rx-7s and 9 peeps. Ray you have to earn your keep, you get to post the official count.

Holly

That was a great meet

It's good to see you guys. The trip down and back was quite exciting, and catching up with people there was fun. The pictures will have to wait til tomorrow, or later today so to speak Dave just dropped me off, now he has to drive another hour... POOR THANG!
