The 1.5 hour enduro on Saturday (the day of the RBQ!) has 75 confirmed entries as of yesterday afternoon. There are usually a few straglers, so the car count could go above 80 for that race.

The car count for the weekend is 225 and could also go up.

SA22, FB, FC, FD? If you need an FC oil line There is a guy from our club near Wilmington who might be able to help you out. Lemme know and I'll see if he has one. If it's for an FB I probably can get one for you. Just need to know if it's with the early oil cooler or the beehive cooler.

David goes on deployment in a couple of weeks, so he's not able to make the meet this weekend, but it's working out that I am able to make it. If we can do some more rotary stuff before he leaves, that would be awesome. We're getting down to the wire here before he leaves, so his time is limited.

When is the VIR thing? I wanna go! If he's still in port, we'll both come... otherwise I'll have to go alone.

Dude... Josh SO needs to read that.

I think David and I will try to make it. I'll let you know in a little while after he and I talk about it. I'd love to meet up with the other club and get to know them myself. Besides, I gotta go flirt with Johny some, so I can get car parts that Jesse won't be needing now that he doesn't have a rotary. Teehee... just kidding.

I DO wanna know where the Hampton Roads ppl meet, though!

If you got no electrical current to anything after it runs for awhile you might just have a bad alternator or very loose alt, belt. This rarely happens but the alt. belt could even be broken.:0) Seriously though, check your alternator and your battery charge. If the car sits overnight a strong battery could build up enough charge to start and run the car for awhile then die when the battery charge is gone, that's a good bet especially if you have no electrical power to anything after the engine dies. If that is the problem, I'd recommend the alternator shop over on Westgate Road near the old airport exit off of Glenwood. They can rebuild your alternator to its original specs.

The time is drawing near, a clutch will soon be on the way and my baby will be resurrected.

I can't wait, I drove all the way to Warrenton today to grab some firewood for my grandparents, oh man, how I wish I had my Rx7 to carve up those ol'country twisties.

I'm working like crazy now. I swear, if I had a garage of my own, I'd rig up a lightning rod up on top of it and have a frankenstein moment as I fixed her, but oh well, tis not so.

I'm going to shop tonight and tomorrow b4 and after school and order the clutch. Then next week into the shop it goes. Hopefully the clutch won't take forever to get here.

Muahahahahahaha....I'll finally be able to take it to those ricers who have been giving me those smug looks the past few weeks.

^^^ Yeah. It would be good for you to do the new clutch yourself. You'd do fine. If I had time, I'd come over and help you. School and work are suckin me dry on free time, though.

I'm in the process of getting my alternator rebuilt actually. I took it to this place and they are going to bump it from 70 amps up to 140. He said it will cost around $100-$150. Seemed pretty reasonable to me. Should be getting it back early next week. Can't wait...

I would do the clutch myself, but I don't have any tools and I'm definately not as strong as I used to be, so I don't want to try to wing it one weekend.

I've been off the threads for awhile since I was on vacation and Stina kept me updated for the most part, but VIR Saturday the 29th sounds good to me. ESPECIALLY if it's free As for the Hampton Roads spot...if they meet there all the time I could find em. I know where that parking lot is from the pictures. But we'll be at VIR(hopefully) so I don't see anytime soon I'd be able to make the hr meet anyways. I'm in NC too often, lol. Maybe after cruise. Hope to see y'all soon.

Steve let me know how the car feels with the upgraded alternator. I've had that mod in mind for a long time as you know.

On another note, UPS lost my fuel injectors. I had mailed them off to RC engineering for a cleaning (550s I got from a Steveo parts car), but now I think I may just buy new ones with the insurance money I'll get in a few weeks.
