Yeah that's the guy Trey who called me the other day, I was going to go look at yesterday but didn't have the time. JKM, I am interested in your car, since we are both here in Burlington I think it would be pretty easy to arrange a meeting drop me a PM or give me a call.

 

Yup. My FC ain't cheap.

 

how much are you thinking of asking Joey? you can PM me if you don't want to post

 

actually, if anyone is interested in that car go for it... i have a kid in college (well japan atm) and before i spend money on another car i need to fix his, dump my honda, cut my grass, clean the house, feed the cat.... damn details! now if someone needs a guitar or amp for a car... wink wink.

 

for anyone that cares my new cell # is 919-264-8713 finally got rid of that damn nextel, both the phone and the job, haha.

 

Just got the Deals Gap DVD in the mail last night. It is great! It shows a full run of Hwy 129 from the Fontana Dam parking lot to the gravel parking area at the end. To break up the TOTD drive it cuts to shots of the parking lot and all the cars that were there. Unfortunately the guy doing the filming didn't ride with the wild bunch or he would've gotten some great drivin' shots. Just about every car that was there made it into the video. Pinky plays a prominent part in a lot of the shots. That car drew alot of attention and gets alot of onscreen time as well.

I won't be at this weekend's drive-in, have a family wedding in Tennessee and a wife that insists that I go with her, to deal with. But I will bring the DVD to the next drive-in for anyone that wants to see it, can someone bring a laptop with a DVD players or we can meet at Best Buy over on capital and test out one of their home theater systems and a LCD, large cash deposit, screens.

Also got my short shifter delivered yesterday but won't have a chance to put it in until next week.

 

Car is still running to hot. Its really starting to get on my nerves. I ordered an oem thermastat to see if that fixes it. Some of the guys on here sware by the oem ones, but i dont think it will fix the problem. I think i'm going to go and get my fairly new radiator tested. It only has about 1500 miles on it, but i dont know how long it sat in the guys basement b4 he sold it to me. Maybe a rat crawled in there or something, i'm hoping it is something that simple.

The car was running hot even with my last engine, i just didn't relise how hot it was untill i got my aftermarket guages installed. I pulled the water pump, but ended up putting it back on because it looked relatively new. That leaves the radiator at fault, or it might just mean that i'm not getting enough air to it. I really think it is something that easy. I just got to figure out what...

 

Yeah I remember we were coming back from Myrtle Beach in the T2 with the old motor and it was running pretty hot on the stock temperature gauge. I think it was like 80 degrees out and we had the heater on full blast the whole way back...

Did you put the stock cooling fan and shroud back in? What about the engine covers?

 

steve, do you want me to see if my friend josh still has his fan like mine he was going to put on the 240? it covers more of the radiator and pulls alot more air or if he doesnt still have it we could pull mine off and throw it on your car and see if it helps. give me a call and let me know. eric

 

well i just got me some nice seats to go in my fc

 

Eh, I actually managed to (mostly) fix the FB in the past couple of days. Hell, this thing might even pass a safety inspection now when I get a new turn signal cover.

However, that doesn't mean it won't go back on sale when I'm a little more confident in the FB's ability to be reliably used as a daily driver.

And for reference, I was going to ask either $3500 for the FC with the fender damage, or around $5000 if I sold it after the body was repaired.

Yeah that's a little high, but it's mostly because almost every day I drive the FC I get asked if I want to sell it...of course, no one actually has several thousand dollars on them at the time. Heh.

 

quick question guys. the turbo was doing a blip or hicup type thing while i was sitting at a stop light the other day. was idleing fine and then all of the sudden about every 20 seconds or so the rpms would drop like it was burping or something. was wondering if this was a grounding problem or should i start looking elsewhere.

 

If you guys need me, This is where Ill be, and this will be my bevrerage. And after vacation I head to Fla to get the microtech installed and tuned. I am truly a blessed man.
I will get a couple of pics of hot girls posing on my RX, just for you guys. I don't know if I can survive a week without visiting the forum, I need a lap top,or another Rx7, or another beer. Drinking affects your decision making! You may be right I can't decide.

Johny

i got to kill a Camaro SS on the way home w/ a license plate that read ULBSORRY. my brother got to roll him too.

i am glad i didn't get a personalized plate, especially something sarcastic like that.

anyhow, hope everyone made it home safely.
