Ps. If the misses is looking for some companionship that can relate to her situation, my fiance and her friends do brunch almost every Sunday. Girls doing their thing I guess. Let me know if she is interested. They usually go to niceville or Destin for their brunch and shopping.

Thanks man! I should be set on care packages, we got hooked up over the holidays.

I'll let her know, thanks! I know when I get back though she'll prob join the cruises, shes a gear head too.

Good to see this thread coming back to life. I live in Tallahassee full time and do full builds, porting and fab work etc. I'd be more than happy to help out any of you guys for the low on account of respect for our Veterans! Just finished a good friends FC from Ft. Walton beach and stopped his bill for Veterans Day. Did the rest of his work on my time. Let me know if you guys want to meet up sometime soon! I'm bringing this car bak to FWB from here sometime next week if any of you guys want to hang for beers!

Native... I'm down. Just hit me up. 903-453-1225. I'm in Cview and know a good little place. You like Korean food and sushi? My fiance's parents own a place up here that is pretty good. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced as well.

Anyone else want to get in on a couple of beers? I don't think the panhandle group had gotten together in years!

Native you able to modify oil pans and recreate an engine cradle? The one I created is sitting a bit too low for my comfort.

I'll def be down for more get togethers once I'm back from this deployment.

Are RX8 guys welcome to kick it with ya'll. In the two years that I have been here I haven't really met any of the car scene, let alone the rotary scene.

Absolutely. One of my god buddies has an 8. I built it.

Sweet you guys got anything planned for the month?

I won't be around for another few months.

Nothing planned for me. Haven't even worked on the car in a while. There is usually a cars and coffee every second day of the month in Ft. Walton that we can cruise to or meet up. Very large meet with nice cars.

I'm actually going to be gone until June. My FD is back though. Ready to start beating up some V8s around town.

I'm almost out of here.. woot!

I feel your pain brother

hi not sure if anyone would remember me, but I've been back in florida since 2013, but leaving soon as husband and I will be pcs'd to our first duty.... but wondering if you all know of any good rolling bodies that just need a engine (2nd gen s5 preferably) that I can buy fairly cheap. I found one on CL in hoover, AL but the guy isnt responding and just posted the add a few days ago :/ My current 'vert s5 has a electrical issue that cannot be resolved, and the car has been sitting at my brother's house for almost 2 years (has a new motor less than 1k miles, mild SP, rb header, straight pipe). I'm wanting to get the car up and running or try to before we move in a month to take with me... lol

glad to see the panhandle is still going strong... after so many years.

hey kinda new to the group. names Austin was a combat medic with the marines (navy corpsman for you fellow military people) for 8 years and recently got out, ive been working on my 93 for like 2 years on and off. only been driven like 260 miles. any way im in need of an exhaust build and intercooler piping and bov, I could bring it to ya. is that something you could do? im in Pensacola now.

specs on build
I got the car after I beat the old owner in a race and he blew the engine ( I was in my built 08 speed3 rockin a holset hx35 @28psi very ZOOM ZOOM!!) any who he tried to pull the engine apart ended up droping a nut in the engine so I got it off him cheap. pulled the engine out and had dale clark help me build it (local guy big on the forum) he was a great help. any who over the last year I have been on and off working on it. I also moved and have been a full time student so its been hell. anyway so far this is what I got.

As of today I have done EVERY thing my self (except engine build) tho I helped dale every step of the way. I have learned a lot with this car (its my second project car) and have loved/hated every minute of it hahaha.
p.s. car was stock with stock twins when I got it.
-large street port (ported myself)
-borg warner S360
-apexi FMIC

-CJ motorsports fuel system (primary and secondary)
-custom Teflon stainless steel fuel lines....... (see picture below!!!) safety first

Scheduling a gathering
 

Hey there Panhandle,

First off, welcome Austin!

Secondly,

June 20 at 2PM (pending weather)
Where: Sorabal in Crestview
Address: 172 Woodruff Ave E, Crestview, FL 32536

Let me know who all is going to be there. I'll reserve parking with the owner. The restaurant is usually closed between 2 and 5 but if we have a big enough group, I'm sure I can get the restaurant open for us. The bar will be open and the "bar food" should be good (and it's good). Bar is outside so we'll be able to mingle.

Starting Attendance List:
1) Ryan Langlois (white FD)

2) Michael Ivester (silver FC)
Also Austin I can do whatever you like as long as you can bring me the car. I'm in Tallahassee.
You too Bucky as long as you're not Buckey Laing. Hahah. Again bring me the car and I can get it fixed right up.

Also I'm pretty sure I'm one of very few people in this area not in any sort of military. Hahah

Yea, 13 years ago there was a slew of 7's in the area. Glad to see your still doing well Christi. Fwiw, mine is still sitting in the pasture out by the barn in pieces up here in TN.

Anyone want to get together this month? I seem to be the only rotary around sometimes.

Austin, are you back on the road yet? I want to come see the car.

Yea. Hit me up im always down to do something

Hey guys I'm Mike, I'm down to meet up. Bought an 89 convertible a few months ago and havent driven or tinkered with it much. Mostly due to my lack of knowledge I'm slowly getting a plan together but its a pretty small project so far.
