I was supposed to go to the game too with my folks, but i think i'm going to skip. I missed the one two weeks ago and i dont think i can miss another one.

 

I got the matte finished set for the extra grip but lucked out since they still had a few sets with "RX 7" on the clutch and brake pedals instead of "Twin" and "Turbo". They are a bargain considering the quality and the ease and permanance of the install. When you need'em they are what you should go for them.

You're right about trying for the job, you gotta pursue what you want in life 'cause no one is going to offer you your dream.

 

Good choice, the Durham Bulls or the Drive-In? Yeah the drive-in is a good choice, we all miss you and we need the FC representation.

 

hey, when is the next meeting... I moved up here (holly springs) for the summer and I want to hit at least one meeting before I go back to ECU? that and I have tons of questions because I am about to do my first engine transplant... I am turning my s4 vert into an s4/5 vert and I have never done that much work to my car. Thanks

 

The next meet to 07/24.... this saturday! Hope to see you out there.

 

s4/s5 motor swaps suck man. i have heard that they are somewhat difficult. a little too much wiring for my taste but, to each is own i guess.

 

dang guys, looks like i won't be able to make it in my car this next meet either. One down for the FD guys... I'll try to be there regardless of what car I'm in.

 

Come on out this Saturday, we'll be meeting at the usual place, the Char Grill on Strickland Rd at 6:30 pm. If you're not sure how to get over to that side of Raleigh I would take I-440, better known to locals as the beltline, to the Six Forks Rd exit and go north on Six Forks until you pass a K-Mart on your left, Strickland Rd is the next intersection. Take a left at the traffic light and you'll see the Char Grill on the left at the next traffic light.

We'd like to meet you and your 7 before you leave for school. If you have any questions or problems you want to talk about or look at this Saturday just post'em up here and give us a little while to prepare, if we need to bring tools or do some research that will give us time to prepare.

Bert

 

make that two down for the FDs. Started installing my y-pipe found other stuff that needed to be fixed/replaced and I wont really have time to fix it before Saturday. However, like Taylor, I will be there in something or on foot.

 

Rotormaniac, you must be the one I met in Holly Springs with the S4 vert last week. Welcome to the board ! I probably won't make the meet saturday since I have a prior committment that I had forgotten about. Though I may still make it out later. Guess we'll see... Anyway, did you end up buying that other FC you were looking at ?

Keith

 

Hey Josh and Taylor, no need to worry, just give the Rotary Rental guys a call, I'm sure Dave or Steve, maybe Ken too, can fix you up with a weekend rotary to drive and you might be lucky enough to reserve one from their FC fleet. Now the title might be questionable, but then you're only gonna have it for a couple of days.

 

lol that would actually be cool if it was a serious possibility...i might not go back to the FD.

 

Make that three fd's not comin, there is a possibilty i show up around 8-9 with a new fd owner...

 

hmm... haha, well, we've got a few to chose from this week. we've got a special on a white 88 t2 for rent- no front bumper, and you must supply the ATF to get it going. you may want to buy a new set of plugs before you pick it up, you'll need them for sure. no insurance required- you probably wont get it moved out of the driveway. contact ken on that one. a little step up from the special is the beginers ride- the 87 GXL- auto. its for y'all that care for good gas milage. we've got an entry level rental- 87 red T2, just be careful- its for sale. theres an intermediate ride- lil faster than a stock T2- 88 GTU, have fun with the clutch- its a great time. then, we've got the advanced level ride- 88 T2- quickest in the corral, life insurance required, along with a disclaimer that you're responsible if steve kills you for touching it the wrong way.
haha- anyways-
steve said he's not comin, unfourtunately. im gonna do my best to bring the red legend out.
i think me and ken are gonna come down with a few friends probably. i met a new guy tonite at piedmont dragway. he's got a sweet silver S4- i think, GXL. T2 hood, body kit, wheels, streetport, RB catback, no emissions, s5 tails, safc, along with lots of other stuff. i gave him some verbal info due to the fact that im out of all my club info otherwise. all my paper has been given out. he was running mid 10's on the 1/8- he said his trans was about to go out cause the syncros were crap. didnt sound like he was gettin the motor into the higher RPM powerband you have to get into for the NA's to make power so im sure its got some more MPH left.
jeez, i hope theres atleast 5 7's out there this weekend. not sounding too good for car turnout.

 

I forgot you guys had another white T2 there now and was about to ask, "What went wrong with Steve's?!" What about that white gtu monster you guys made? Not offering that out for rent?


Edit:
Ooops, reread, I see you did mention that gtu......

 

the white GTU monster is all steve built. he did that before i knew him.

 

Its still up for sale people. Price is now down to $3900. I got to get some money so i can afford school. Pure race car. I was going to put nitrous on it, but i dont have the means right now. Let me know if anybody is interested, i really need to sell it.

Like Dave said, I dont think i'm going to be able to make it again this week. My mom is really begging me to go. If anybody goes out to capital later that night, i will come out there. I'm thinking the game ought to be over about 8:30 or 9. See ya at the game Keith!

Steve

 

I'd consider buying it if I didn't want a T2 and hadn't already said I'd buy that other one to you.. And if I had more money.. And if I perhaps had friends that could pass me for inspections heh heh.

Really nice car though, someone should buy it!!

 

Just got a weather forecast from the weather channel for Saturday. Bad news is that it looks like rain most of the afternoon but can't be sure if it is from thunder storms or a general widespread rain that would really limit outside time.

We have a rainy day meeting site at the Wachovia parking garage on Blue Ridge Road. Here is a map of the location:

We will meet at this location on Saturday, July 24th, at 6:30 pm. The parking garage should give us plenty of parking and protection from the rain. We can still eat at the Char Grill near the Blue Ridge and Edwards Mill intersection. If you're coming in on the I-440 beltline then get off at the Lake Boone Trail exit, go west to Blue Ridge Road and turn left, the Wachovia Bldg will be on your right. If coming in on I-540 you should exit to Hwy 70 and go toward Raleigh. At Crabtree Valley Mall turn right on Edwards Mill and make a left, at the top of the hill, on to Blue Ridge. Go past Rex Hospital and you will see the Wachovia Bldg on your right.

My cell phone will be on all day Saturday and if you have any questions pls call 919-247-3884 for directions and instructions. This info will also be posted on the other threads as well.

 

i hate rain. why must we have the possibility of rain for a whole 7 days? anyhow look forward to seeing you guys.

 

My Grass seems happy about the rain though

 

Sounds like me out here! Although we have a chance of rain for 365 days a year though. Every afternoon at around 1:30 the clouds roll down off the Volcano and the rain starts up. Tha last couple of days I have had " Lake Nissan" In the back of my pick-up. Litteraly fills the bed to the top over night.

At least with all the rain I get to practice my detailing skills!! Always a good thing huh?

Have fun tonight guys, Take some shots of the meet if it is nice out. I would like to see what your cars look like. I can send someone shots of ours if you wanted to see what we would be bringing to the party ( If we move)

I am impressed that you guys think this far ahead and locate parking garages and such to avoid the rain and still have your meet. You guys have the most dedicated following of people I have seen out of just about anywhere, on this Forum espeacially. It gets me really motivated to start up a west side meet if/when we move. And then have a Quarterly( every 3 Months) meet where we all come together and meet.( West -east etc..)

 

Hey, I am not going to be able to make it today Have to work, but my best friend is going to bring my car up there, he is an rx freak like I am... I'll try to make it to the next one though... just look for the shitty black convertible with one muffler and sounds like there is no exaust (because there isn't)

 

so we're meeting at wachovia?

 

Yeah, this is rotormaniac's friend. I'm off of work, and will be driving his 3C up there at 6:30. I also have a friend named Evan who will be meeting us up there -- I'm going to be shooting a lot of pictures, so wear something you want to be seen in! :P

I'm excited. Can't wait to see everyone!
