ken is the one with the red FC that was with me. i didnt get very much response on the piedmont thing so i gues we'll just have to wait a lil while for that. im also working unexpectedly late that night so, if anyone wants to go ken will probably go if some people will go with him. jeez, it was so great to be will all of you, i've definently made some new friends, lol, was back at steves this mornin to take a ride in the T2 and check out a possible new FC for me. ken also made a trip to pick up a S4 turbo that we're gonna start to mock up on my Gxl's 6-port tomorow most likely. steve, if you check this, you should come out n check out my um.. i guess they're cars tomorow. i've got to go to work at 5 but we'll prolly be out here messin around with em most of the day and i could really use some of your past experiences over this way. call the house if you wanna do somethin or try kens cell- i'll PM it too ya. ayt guys- im out.

 

Directions to VIR:
(I live in Durham, so I get to NC 86 via I-85 at Hillsborough)

NC 86 northbound to 119 N
(pretty sharp right-hand exit ramp right at the top of the hill)
119 N to 57 N
Right onto Race Track Road, or the first road you see with VIR Club signs

"Entertaining" stretch of road, but don't get carried away because there are trees, ditches, and drop-off's which are all perilous. Save the "fun" driving for on the track where you have run-off and a safety crew.

 

anybody do any drag racing? i see all talk of auto-x but not much else.

 

i drag a little(mainly street racing. yikes!) I would like to get into it a little more in a legal way, but the damn tracks are all 2 hours away from me.

 

Double post...

 

I'd race JMunilla here, but he'd beat me so bad you would think I actually stalled out

 

ahh, i dont care to much about the street racing. i'll play around but, nothin bad ***. i'd rather it be a fair run with more than the human eye sayin who won. -thats just me.

 

 

keep it legal!

 

well when i do i try to play it "safe" (ie not a busy road, no people, etc). still not a good idea, but i try to limit the stupid factor.

It is just to drive my 7 for 2 hours just to go down the strip a couple of times. we need a track in RALEIGH damnit. not that any of us can do anything about it.

just a side note though. if your race is so close that a human eye can't call it. it is a tie.
or are you trying to say "it doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile...winning is winning" hehe.

JKM whats the status on the dent?

 

Well, I'm still trying to find an S5 fender. If I can't, NCTII87 has an S4 fender he can give to me, I'll just have to get some moldings from elsewhere.

My poor baby

 

Ive got a passenger side front fender off of a white S5 along with the pass side door and the NA hood that is in good shape.

If you can use any of these PM me.

Bert

 

i know that had to hurt dent had to hurt your feelings; i know it would bother me. you have one of the cleanest FCs I have seen. good luck with the repair, looks like Bert may have the solution for you.

 

GROUP HUG!

 

LoL

 

hey bert, you dont happen to have an s5 front bumper do ya? I would just love to put it on my TII.

Steve

 

steve- ken was wonderin if you'd sell him the red car's front bumper. he said he'd give you his and some money and has been reminding me to ask you. he said that b4 he started obsessing over his 6 port turbo idea's so i dunno if it still stands. give him a few weeks- i bet that car will be at a meet with boost. who knows? - maybe the one comin up.

 

No, I used the bumper from the car the fender came from to repair my deer damage. The junk yard where the car now is had several FCs, I could check to see if any of them still have their bumpers, but they probly won't be white.

Jerry Strickland was kind enough to give me the parts I needed to repair my car for next to nothing and he helped take them off the car. He may have some parts still in his inventory. Next time I'm over his way I'll sure check it out. I assume you'd rather have a white bumper?

Bert

 

Yeah, preferably white, but if it is another color, i can just paint it. If you wouldn't mind, ask him if he has the complete s5 molding set as well, so i can do the complete conversion. Thanks...
Steve

 

A junkyard with several FC's...heaven on earth?

I love junkyard digging, but no one ever has any sevens.

 

jerry has a small fenced in area behind his shop which holds a ton of body parts. i dont remember if there were any FC bumpers but i do remember a full set of FD's. there were about 50 fenders in the back, a few were red- JKM, along with other multiple pieces. you should try to talk with him. the only FC he has he is tryin to get rid of and its a 91 GXL which is black. the fenders have a few dings in em. i dont remember too much about the bumper except that its black. JKM- i've got a friend in durham with an AE edition with a very strait body. its white ofcourse but no dents or dings that i've seen. everything on it does need to be cleaned though. dont ask to buy the car- the body is about the only thing left.

 

oh, BTW guys, i may be going to look at another T2 tomorow near rockingham. it needs a fuel pump and i've been told i could get it for $1000!!!!!!! if it falls through for me i'll give anyone else interested the info. also- umm... my T2 is for sale- 600$ drivetrain is perfect and interior- uhh... needs cleanin. the body is mostly shot. anyone know anyone lookin for somethin like this, i guess its a deal considering used JDM motors(which is in my car- along with JDM trans) go for about 800 without harness's. if all else fails, i guess it'l go on ebay.

 

Would anybody be interested in a cruis-in/trip to Road Atlanta for the Petit Le Mans in September on the 22-25.
They even have a Mazda Extreme Street Car show going on as well. Just thought I'd let ya'll know. I may be going.

Here's the link

 

NCTII87, How many miles on th engine? And how big of a hurry are you in to sell it? I have been thinking of a t2 swap into my FB.
Thanks.

 

I went by Nine's Auto Retirement Center after work today and the white FC is not out front any longer. I didn't have time to stop in and look for it. Their phone # is 919-528-2513 or 800-200-2844. They should be able to tell you if they still have the car and what's left.
