Panhandle Roll Call!
 

Ladies and gents, it's come to my attention that I'm one of MAYBE two members between the NW FL/Pensacola area guys and the Jax guys, so let's start a panhandle roll call? You guys aren't too far away but when I'm broke and running 93 non-ethanol, a 3 hour ride for just a day doesn't seem entirely worth the ride unless there is a real good sized turn out and all three generations can show.

I would really like to hit some rotary-specific meets so let's get going!
Post location and car!

Crestview - chaste white FD

Tallahassee - Arctic silver FC
Also, Lawless how far is Crestview? I saw your post about the Silva fight which I would have been to if I didn't open the next am.

Niceville, finishing up a build. It's been in the garage for far too long :(

Crestview is about two hours from thassee

fwb here

DeFuniak Springs harbor blue fc

Pensacola. Should have my 93 in about 2 weeks.

Awesome. Not many so far but still good to see. I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this, but Rides n Tides 2 is coming up quickly, being on 27 July in Navarre Beach. I do plan on going and would love to get a big FC group there to hang and enjoy the day. FDs of course are welcome too. I just wanna see how many of you would be interested in it. It's a small journey from my house, so I would love to see if more of our kind will show.

Black 94 FD in Pensacola here...waiting on a rebuild. There are 6 other FD guys in Pensacola that I know of that go out every first sunday for a cruise (all cars running strong). 5 of them usually don't do shows or anything like that. I believe they troll this forum but not much.

Time and place for rides and rides?

Rides n Tides 2 takes place at Navarre Beach Park on 27 July and starts at 9am CST.

Crestview- tornado silver FB

Does anyone know of a good body shop in the area?

S&L auto body in crestview. I like their painter! Good thing I said no to navarre today... Weather got crappy!

Navarre was excellent. Arrived at 930 and it rained for 45 mins and then stayed a little cloudy. Three FD's, my FC and one that matched, and then that Chris fella with the LS1 FC.

As for body shoppes in the "area", my thread moreso refers to Tallahassee but it could be the whole Panhandle. I know great shoppes in Tallahassee but farther west than PSJ I can't help you.

Does anyone have a front rotor housing and rotor (c-weight) for an FD I'm good condition they may want to sell?

Silver I don't personally but I know a guy here in Tallahassee that probably does. 9.0 or 9.7?

Im interested if he has some. What do u mean by 9.0 or 9.7?... the weight?

Mine is a "C" weight...so I can also use a B or D weight

A 9.7lb 4400g
B 9.65lb 4377g
C 9.6lb 4354g
D 9.55lb 4331g
E 9.51lb 4314g

My bad, man. I spend most of my time in a 7 with FD rotors no matter the weight or model. I was referring to "compression ratio". But I can see about those weights.
I use B weight, 9.7 rotors from an FD, which are milled for 3mm seals.

Send me a pm and I'll shoot you a number you can call.

PM sent...thanks man.

Still looking for a rotor if anyone has one. Rotor housing is no longer needed.

You got a housing from Ron?

No...unfortunately Ron did not have any 3rd gen parts. But he did give me a few pointers about where else to look and other rotors I could use.

Well that's good. At least he could be of some help.

Gents finally got my rx7!! Will be down in Pcola area on Monday!

Congrats, and welcome!

Dale said you stopped by the other night Jpmatta16. Congrats on the new purchase. Hope you make it out to the Cruise first Sunday of the month. I hope my car is done by then.

Thanks man! Yeah I stopped by so he could check it out! I will be going to his place Saturday to get a couple of things done. I will def make it there unless I'm flying or on duty.

Would anybody be interested in getting a little meet together on Cape San Blas before the summer is out?

I would but that's a bit if a drive. Depending on date and how many people.

Anyone know of a place that refinishes wheels?

Motor is finally ready for drop in....cant wait. Not sure of anyone that refinishes wheels, but I will be looking as well. I would like to get mine re-done soon also.

Cool man that's awesome! Is the ride here with Dave next week?

You mean Dale? We were suppose to do the cruise on sunday, but it seems a lot of ppl including Dale will be out of town. We may try and do something monday but not sure yet.

That's what I meant stupid auto correct!

I might be able to do it Monday or next weekend, but I am gone starting tomorrow.

I wish I could go. I accidentally did The Dumbest Thing You Can Do, so now my car won't start, and once it does, I still have to figure out why my car will shred alt belts, but not when there is no electrical load to the alt. Stumped, and trying not to get discouraged here.

I am just north of you all in Alabama. Recently picked up a unmolested 93 FD. Swapped all the rubber vacuum lines out. Now getting a downpipe to get rid of some heat. I have to find an oil leak (think its coming from the rear main or stationary gear o ring). Once thats done I am ready to roll sometime. By the way if anyone wants to compete in autocross. They race every 2nd Sunday here at Ft. Rucker.

We ever figure out where we can do a meet and greet? I'm in fort Walton beach!

Im down for a meet and cruise. I need to put some more miles on this rebuilt motor. Need a central location close to food.

Not yet. It's hard to pick a spot when we're discussing a 200 mile stretch of land.
That's why I suggested Cape San Blas or maybe Port St. Joe or something. Maaaaybe Panama City. I live just south of Tallahassee, so we are covering a large area.
If we do an event, it should be accessible by all the RX guys and gals in the area, should include beer, football maybe some cooking out, and definitely some tinkering and a cruise.

A couple of the Pcola gents meet on the first Sunday of every month, They go for a ride and to have breakfast.

As much as I would love to do that, it's a 2.5-3h drive from me. :p

We really need to decide on a place to do this. I have two other Tallahassee guys willing to ride out in our 7s to somewhere reasonable and maybe even on a monthly basis.
Serious location though, Panama City sound cool? PC is half way between us Tally guys and those in AL and over towards FWB/Crestview and Pensacola.

Time to bring this thread back to life. Some car friends and I, [one being another FC owner] are gonna be in Panama City for Halloween, so does anybody want to get together around then?

I would be down to go if more people from Pcola area go.

I agree. The Jacksonville guys can come out too. Realistically, if we planned a North Florida event, It would be logical to do it near where I'm at for a more central location across the panhandle. But if it were mostly Pcola guys legit planning to show, I think Panama City would be a great spot. Lots to do and places to go and it's mostly the center of our area. Actually, I may post in the Jacksonville thread to see if they'd be interested in meeting up.
