Wooo! He lives and he posts. Good to hear from you. Hope all is going fine with the market cornering on AEs. Did you check out the new 1995 FD for sale? That car is only 11 years old and only has 185 miles on it!

If I only had the money...I'd gut it and make it a track car.


HAHA, kidding of course, that would be ridiculous. The only things I'd do is reliability mods, and would hardly every drive it. That would be sweet!

I just thought of something too. I guess that would still have a warranty on it, it wasn't ever registered so there wouldn't be any issue there. Imagine taking that thing in to the dealership for service, HAHA. Being they have RX-8s now it wouldn't be as funny, but it's still kinda humorous.

You know speaking of the dragon my buddy and I jumped the gun a little and went camping up in the mountains this Friday and Saturday and took a couple very "scenic" roads labeled 129, 128, Blue Ridge Parkway AND route 80. Although we were driving a FWD four banger those roads were AMAZING! It is kinda funny to see the speedlimit signs stating a "45" mile per hour when we could barely make 40. But it was a rush none-the-less and I had a great time; hopefully I'll make it with some RX7 people next time.

I KNOW WHAT JESSE NEEDS FOR A WEDDING PRESENT. A new 1990 FC TII with a freshly rebuilt rotary engine ( Now we have to specify a rotary engine since some amongst us don't know that an RX-7 should, by the laws of nature and all things Internal Combustion, have a rotary power plant ). Good Luck Jesse I hope you get one for a wedding present!

By the way, what is the correct term for someone that is totally confused about their engine needs? Trans-Gengined?

You were right, it wasn't a race. I smoked everyone except Doug and Beth and that was only becasue Beth was peddling that RX8 too.

I saw the RRDI window stickers you passed out at Deals Gap. They are nice, I think Doug and Nic had them on their cars. How would the rest of us get a few? Did you have your printer guy do them?

If i don't have it by mid august i am getting a posse together and we are making a trip down to alabama.

[gay lisp]Bert, those of us with piston engine's have just come to realize who we really are. if you have a problem with that then you are just a pistonophobe. you are the freak not us. PISTON POWER!![/gay lisp]

Seriously though, when you start wondering why more and more are choosing the the V8, just remember there is NO replacement for displacement, and the only downside to the v8 swap is the stigma. Being previous rotary owners we are already used to being outcasts.

well slated completion is august 07, but I just have to get on the ball about my machining for mounts. Hopefully by that Time I will have also picked up a good T56 and then waiting for parts will be my next biggest issue, so depending on suppliers will really dictate the completion of the car.

Uh oh Josh, not a good sign, haha. Welcome to the world of waiting on parts from Hinson? HAHA. Well hopefully they've gotten their act together by now.

I'd like to get one of those stickers too, or two of them, one for each side.

No won't be making that trip up. I'll just stay home, work on my car, spend some time with Diane, and go to the RRDI that evening. I know we'll have 4-5 others going up. You can send some of the decals back by Greg or Doug if you think about it.

I'll have to check my VIR events brochure to see what's happening up there.
