autobot, dude, wake up, you're in durham. you're gonna have to get an FC.... no 3rd gens allowed in the durham crew! haha, j/k man. i asked about that one tonite with you in mind. he said it only needs minimal cosmetics.

 

o yeah, ok, ive been meaning to ask you all this for a long time. i've got a party house out here that we usually rent out for things like cookouts, birthdays or use it for big family things. i was wondering if you all might want to have a meet out here one night. we could cook some burgers n stuff and then go driving since bahama has such "good roads". i know everyone who has come out here lately thats not from around here has been like wow! the roads are awesome out here. i know it doesnt sound all extremely happening n stuff but, just a thought that i had been considering for a long time.

 

^That sounds like a good idea. mmmmm, food!

Oh, tell Steve there is really no excuse for not posting AND missing a drive-in. Time to confescate the FC.

 

lol, btw- forever ago when i posted about seeing a third gen on capital before i met any of you guys, it was you josh. i just realized it like a while ago.

 

HAHAHA, sorry guys, my gf from texas came to see me for the past week. She wouldn't let me get on the computer cus she was like "I'm only here for a week". Anyways, I'm beggining to think due to the length of this thread that i'm the only one that spends a significant amount of there time out in that garage. Whassup up with that? IS my car the only one that needs work? or is it something else

Steve

 

HAHA. I mainly post while I am at work. My job is basically sitting at a desk all day long with my thumb where the sun don't shine. So I harass you guys during the day.

Dave, I was pretty sure that was me that night, but I know to you 2nd Gen guys all 3rd Gens look alike.

Glad to hear you guys are alive and well. Steve just remember women are the anti-car. LoL

 

I have a question for you guys does anyone know where to get the aluminum door sill plates? like the ones Rick/Jeremy have on their FD. They are so nice.

 

door plates , there you go! Hmmm an FC or an FD? Damn... that would mean I'd have to change my name.. too much trouble! Guess I'll have to stick with the FD

 

thanks, Ryan, but i think the ones they had didnt have gold letters. either that or i didnt notice.

Bert, do you have Rick's email still?

 

Yeah I have the address at work. I'll be there tomorrow and I'll email it to you or pm you with it.

 

Dave, the idea of the cookout is a good idea. We can talk about it and see who is interested at the next drive-in. How many guys can say they've driven their cars to bahama? A Cook Out in Bahama, COB, yeah, it could be an end of summer thing and target for everyone to make it to.

 

The guy with the '88 BB TII that I met Monday mentioned that he has an exhaust leak and wanted to know if we have anyone in the group that could help him with the problem or has worked on their exhaust system. I don't think that he has posted yet on this thread but he checks it out, so if we have anyone with some knowledge or experience please reply. He works at a tire shop and may be able to get some lift time to do the work. Just let him know if you're able to help him check it out.

Bert

 

Just crank it up and lift the car off the ground, then get under the car and listen for a leak. Thats how i do it.

Steve

P.S. OOPS, i better get out in the garage

 

2nd gens....let me think...who knows FCs...i can't think of any1

damn, steve, you ruined my joke by posting first. you're not allowed outta the garage anymore.

Bert, If you get a chance please send me ricks email so I can ask him where he got the door sills in all silver.

 

JMunilla94RX7,

For FD Door Sill, go to www.mazaformance.com/rx7.htm
Click on accessories section and then door scuff plate, the part number is FD01-V1-370G and Price is $134.95
per set. I bought and installed mine and it looks very good on the car. It has gold RX-7 letter. Only bad thing about this part is it gets scrach fairly easy :-(
Need to be careful when you step in and out of the car.
Hope this helps!

Andy

 

Thanks, Andy. That is a better price than RX7.COM.

Do they all come with gold lettering? I could have sworn that Rick's didn't.

 

hey josh, there is a set for sale on ebay right now for $45 I think. I'll look for the link.

But on another note, I'm sorry I didn't make it out to the meet this past weekend. I had finally made it to the beach for the first time in a year or so it feels like. I left Wilmington around 4 so I could back to Raleigh just in time but I hit some crazy thunderstorms that slowed everybody on the interstate up.

 

I think gold lettering is all they have right now.
I heard there was a black letter version before but discontainued....

 

Here are the door sill scuff plates

Looks like the price went above $45 though.

 

There is a guy that does carbon fiber scuff plates for cheaper. I'll look for that too...

 

Found em, they are pretty pricey though

carbon fiber door sill scuff plates

you gotta scroll down to see them, the look pretty good IMO. Pricing is on a different page, theres a link at the top.

 

Add toluene to the gas and turn up the boost with some "junkyard" mods and they are pretty darned quick on a race track.

 

thanks Taylor. you are doing all my leg work.

i got out to the beach on sunday for the first time since last summer myself.

There are always other meets, but we won't be accepting excuses from now on

 

Ever watch "Beverly Hills Cop"? Remember the "Banana" trick?

Have a friend take a rag/block of wood with rag/etc and stuff it in the tailpipe with the car idling and it will be very evident where it is. It will get hot...remember...it's a rotary!

There's a room in my house besides the garage? Gee, I didn't notice.

Oh...that USED to be what I did. Now I spend my time off work studying for class to get another degree to pay for the cars in the garage and more track time.

 

Ashraf I think you need an intervention. The first step is admitting you have a problem. track racing is an addiction.
