BTW, that post you put up about getting ripped off by the two girls in the Home Depot parking lot...classic

Yes sir Nic, that's why God lets the old people hang around so long, just to humor the youngin's. After all just remember Old Age is just a bad joke. You live a lot of years, gain a lot of experience, learn a bunch of stuff and when you get old the memory goes and you can't remember much of it. Some of us get smart and think ahead. We decide to write all we have learned down so that incase our memories fade a little we'll still have a written record. One of two things happen if your lucky, your eye site goes and you can't read what you wrote! or The memory thing happens and you can't remember where you put what you wrote. If you do stumble across your writings then you can 't find your glasses to read it. When you do find your glasses one day then its been a while and you can't remember where you laid down what you wrote.

He emailed me a couple days ago. He said he's just been real busy...he must have been INSANE busy, haha. So yes he is alive. Just that morning though, I was thinking "what if he's in the hospital?" and thinking the club would get him flowers or something, but then thought that might be kinda gay. So I was thinking, we could get that rotor from Ben, or get one from somewhere, get it powdercoated, and tie some balloons to it. No cards needed, he'd know who it was from, and it'd be such a beautiful sight to wake up to. I gotta go, my eyes are starting to tear up, haha.

I talk to him about once every week or so. He's a busy cookie. I like the idea for his inbox.

Bone stock....hope that was before you added that new saftey C-clamp mod you were showing me.....

Does it have curves!?!? Yeah two you can barely walk up to begin with, then that nice little section that someone added in the middle.

Yeah it was nice of you to let her through, but I have a feeling you passed her again at some point.

Well, I'm getting ready to drive home on Wednesday so I was adjusting a few things on the car. I raised the car a little, so it looks better now. I also looked through the vacuum lines to see if I got any check valves backwords. Yep, first one I looked at. So I turned it around, but in doing so ended up pulling the hose off the bottom of the UIM, so I had to remove a bunch of stuff to pull the UIM up and put the hose on. So I got all that put back together, and adjusted my clutch pedal so it would engage the switch again (I believe some of you remember the night of the bonfire, the vomit, and the Denny's parking lot, haha). With everything back together, I decided to go for a spin to see how the ride felt and to see if I had full boost again (I was only getting 5psi). Well, I didn't remember how the ride felt cause I DIDN'T get full boost AND it was idling at 3100! So I could just put it in first and let off the clutch and it would drive itself, even after I shifted to second it would drive itself. So, I got back to the house and looked but can't find anything it could be. I'm going to try to adjust my idle again tomorrow I guess but I'm not sure I'll be able to fix it. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? It's not the throttle cable cause that's loose, and the adjustment screw on the front of the throttle body is adjusted all the way up. I'm guessing the screw I should adjust is the one on the rear bottom of the throttle body? I think that's the one the writeup talks about, after you jump the two spots in the diagnostic box under the hood.

Im advertising again my 1987 Mazda RX7. I have owned this car since 1999. It is a red automatic. It has I have most reciepts for work done to it and I have taken excellent care of it since i have had it.

Additions include:
Recent Red Paint (2 years)

Stand Alone Fuel Pump (2 years)
Sony Detachable Face CD player (2 years)
17" Konig Wheels (it will need 2 new tires but for the asking price of the car i will include a set of NEW sumotumo tires and konig wheels!

This car runs great and has been a joy to drive! I got a newer toy so Im having to let it go relucantly. The price is very negotiable! I cant pay insurance for 3 cars!
