We meet at Chargrill on Strickland Road @ 5:00PM (winter hours) on the 2nd & 4th Saturday of each month. We have a meet tomorrow the 12th and then on the 26th.

 

I busted a side skirt anyone know of a good body shop in Raleigh?

 

Coats Auto Body, has always done a good job. They are off South Saunders Street near downtown Raleigh.

 

Is that in the ghetto? I dont want to leave my car in the ghetto.

 

ummm, no it isn't IN the ghetto, but it is getting close; it is next to Ray Price Harley-Davidsonone of the largest harley dealers in the SE. they also have a fenced in lot. if you ask them they will leave your car in the shop while they are working on it. Not to mention your insurance will pay for any damages, that those ghetto-folk might cause. Between me and my brother we have had 5 cars worked on by them, and never had any problems, with their service or location.

of course they aren't the only option, but their work is top-notch and their prices reasonable.

 

Jeez! I just called coats, the lady was a real bitch. She said they weren't taking any new paint jobs, and they don't repair fiber glass.

 

lol, sorry. maybe things have changed over the past year. the have done FG repair for me before.

i apologize for the bad recommend.

 

What's the RX-8 like, ie any mods?

 

No mods on the 8, it's a lease. The FD I own and is pretty modded up.

 

Here ya go guys. Here is what i have been working on for the past couple of weeks. I finally got everything installed, but i still have some cleaning up and relocating to do. Car seems to run strong, even though i haven't gotten my RTek ecu back yet, so i can't push to much boost. Ray and I want be there at the meet tomorrow, we are getting ready to head out to Myrtle Beach for the weekend. On a side not, I got to see Rays' GTU this week, it looks awesome!

Damn nice Steve. You gonna bring it out tomorrow?

 

There is a guy that lives out near Garner and does excellent body and paint work, His name is Jeff Brown, he just did a paint job on one of the guys FCs and He did my body work after a deer strike. You can see his work Saturday at the Drive-In if you can make it. I'll bring one of his business cards. He works at a local body shop and also does work on the side. I would highly recommend him, he is meticulous on the repairs and an excellent painter.

 

Beautiful car Steve but you and Ray are gonna tease us with the photos and comments about Rays FC then not bring'em to a drive-in until the 26th? Man, y'all are cruuueeeeel people. Who's car are you taking to MB?

Hey Josh, thats cool that your turbo is coming, mine is too, the thing was finally shipped thankfully. Got some free stuff and half off my ceramic coating too for having to wait which is cool. So my turbo kit, Vmount IC, and misc. bolts that I need to put the car back together will all be in next week. Getting so close to getting the car back up, the anticipation is going to kill me.

Agreed, bro. I am about to have a stroke from the excitement. Glad to hear yours is coming together. Can I ask why you chose to go with the V-mount instead of the Apexi FMIC? I have read the benefits of the v-mount, where you worried about the decreased cooling from the FMIC? I was just wondering, cuz I went with the FMIC.

 

*pout* I can't go to Tail of the Dragon... I might be able to go last minute, but David and I may have to bring his "non-rotary alternative," because my FC isn't in decent shape to go around the Tail right now. Plus I don't have the $$ to go to Tail yet, since I JUST got my job.

On a gooood note... I got hired at Blockbuster. wooo. Once I get the debts paid off that I already have lined up and I save enough for tuition payments, I am gonna work on getting my yellow FC a facelift! yay!!

**beams with joy**

See y'all tomorrow at 5-ish.

 

I had the 2 row Greddy, It sits way out in front and requires some good amount of bumper modification which I didn't like. I heard the Apexi is probably one of the best FMIC for fit and stuff. If I still wanted to do a FMIC I would probably go with an Apexi, but I just decided I would try a Vmount

-Rob

 

I'm only bringing the RX-8 today guys. The 7 has no tag at this poing because I can't pass emissions. Just moved from SC where they have no emissions laws. Hopefully I will be getting a high flow cat and a new cat back soon.

 

Thought I'd post some pics since I wont be able to bring it today.

 

Thanks all for the turn out. Met some nice folks. Basketball seems to have had an effect on those who didn't show! See you next time.

 

how did it go tonight? I started a mock rebuild of the engine, w/o gaskets, and completly forgot the meet tonight.

 

I can help you out today. I've got some errands to run and should be able to get out that way this PM. I'll post'em here or attach'em to an email if I get them.
