Hey Eric, if we decide to proceed with the NC RotaryFest I'd be countin' on you and Jason and Nic to spread word at the military bases and in the community about the event and draw as many people as possible from eastern NC. If we do this and can get flyers and cards made up would you be willing to get them out to all the car parts stores, Mazda dealers, etc and get announcements done on post for the event? Any ideas about what would attract people you have would be appreciated.
Hell yeah Bert, I'm down. I'll put the flyers up and see if I can find some way to announce it on base. Now, I think having strippers there would probably draw the most MILITARY guys, but we should probably just stick with the 7s.

No, No, No, we can't have any strippers. We don't the entire Duke LaCrosse team showing up and ruining this for us!

If we are going to do this then I'll start on the flyers. Anyone have any other ideas for a site? Is Saturday or Sunday better for max attendance.

Who wants to volunteer to take charge of planning, organizing, and overseeing one or more events? Looks like tickets will be in th $10-$15 dollar range since we'll probably have to have someone provide the food for sanitation purposes it should be a professional caterer that will provide the cooking.

Lets see what happens.

Bert, I think Jordan Lake would be a good site, also Saturday would probably work for most who don't want to travel all the way home on a Sunday. As far as flyers go, do you think once you get them designed you could put them up on the RRDI site for download so, we could just print them out from home.

Bert , the idea for the NC Rotary gathering this summer sounds great ! I'll definitely try and be there.

Wish I had made it to last Saturday's drive in. I love that blue 89 GTU !!!! ...

Bert or Steve, i'm getting ready to order my new shocks/struts. Been online since like 5:30 a.m. today reading through archives trying to decide between either the Tokico Blues or KYB AGX (adjustable) units. Either of you guys have recommendation or suggestions ? I'm not sure what you guys are running. The vert is my daily driver...at least till this summer. I have no aspirations of racing or anything like that but I do tend to drive fast/aggressive. I'm looking at adding the Racing Beat vert springs later as well.

Good luck Jesse. They had a trashed out one down here for $375, from a guy that I think was on crack and was about as backwoods as you can get. I'm not sure you would have wanted it though, haha.

Anyone on here with FDs, do you like the Sanai kit? I do, and I want it bad. But ShineAutoProject won't make it if he doesn't get 10 people to put a refundable deposit down. I'm going to put mine down even though I need that money for other stuff right now, but we need about 6 or 7 people still. Anyone interested? Here's the link...

I don't have personal experience (yet) with either shocks, but based on some research I've done the KYB AGX shocks are superior to the Tokico Blues, while the Tokico Illuminas are better than the AGX's. I ordered some Tokico Blues for my FB though (no AGXs for that car) since it's still a good shock and not very expensive. My Miata has more choices, so I was considering getting the AGX's for it.

I can get AGX's at Advance w/ my D/C. Go on advanceautoparts.com and price them, and take the 20% d/c off... and see if that helps at all.

if it does, I'll see what I can do.

Jesse: Not sure if you want a vert or not, but Ashraf posted a link to an FC vert for sale on Craigslist:

http://charlotte.craigslist.org/car/154510612.html

Stina: Thanks for the offer, I may take you up on that. I can get the AGX's a little cheaper on ebay than Advance's price -20%, but I'd rather get it from Advance since it would be quicker and Advance is an authorized reseller, so I'd have a warranty and everything. It would be a while though since I spent all my money on the RX-7

Christina, thanks for the offer. I actually checked on the Advance Auto Parts website and saw the AGXs listed for the front, but not the rear. Perhaps they don't carry the rear ?.... I too would prefer getting them through Advance if the price is close to the same as Ebay considering it would be less hassle and I'd feel like I have a warranty and such.

EVERYONE: I've got a pair of 5 lug rear vented rotors from Brembo that I don't need. I'm looking for $75 for them. They're brand new and still in the Brembo boxes. If anyone locally is interested in picking them up, let me know. They're in Burlington at the moment.

Here's a link to the rotors.

Just a disclaimer... I'm not really allowed to get everyone stuff with my discount... just immediate family and for my own car(s)... but I can order them if you'd like to get them. Advance is really good about getting stuff ordered on time etc.

PM me in the future if y'all ever need anything... and I can see if it's feasable. I don't wanna lose my job, though.
