It was a great time seeing everyone again, thanks for everyone for helping pitch in and help me out with my Rx7. Car ran great on the way home and going to wash her tomorrow and then work on getting the intercooler piping updated.

I was good to meet everyone on Saturday. I wasn't sure what to expect before I got there. I never imagined there would be that level of tuning. So much effort was put into all of your cars. To say the least, I was blown away. When I saw that 20B I wasn't sure if I was seeing things or not. Hell, I still can't believe Carlos is doing a peripheral porting in his garage. I didn't even know what that meant before Saturday. I learned a lot.

Dan your 7 is probably one of the fastest cars I have ever been in. When the wastegate opened it sound pretty crazy. It looks really sharp too. I'm terrible with names, but the guy who drove Dan's 7 and was assembling his engine had a really good looking motor. The black powder coat intake looks really nice. I can't wait to see the rest of his car.

I'm looking forward to doing a little work on mine. As suggested I think I'll go with the RacingBeat exhaust. Are there any vendors you guys can reccommend?

I've only had mine for about 2 months now. I personally haven't done anything yet. I plan on changing the exhaust and replacing the pillow ball bearings over the summer. The previous owner left it stock except for a front strut brace.

As for this weekend, my wife and I are taking a trip to Washington D.C.. After D.C. I will be returning to school for the summer semester in Daytona Beach. Throughout the semester i'll be back in Savannah on the weekends to see my wife. I will return to work in Savannah for the fall. I know a few Electrical Engineers at work that might know something about your wiring issue. What is the problem?

I checked the coil voltage following this videos directions and theres power. So could this mean i have bad coils? I did wire up the positive and ground backwards and blew the main 120 fuse when i wired it up and turned the key to the on position. Still have no spark. Also am trying to figure out where exactly the ground wire on the back of the motor connects to the firewall. If thats in the incorrect place could that cause the coils not to get power? Im pretty stumped. Carlos do you happen to have a good coil I can use to test if that's the problem? Also is there a fuse able link I couldve blown and can you tell me where it would be located?

I wanted your opinions on a nice set of wheels that I have found. I'm not even sure if they will fit or not. Can you guys give a little advice?

Wheels have been in storage for a while and need the lips repainted or powder coated or rechromed
Probably means they are shitty looking....might mean you have to put some money into them, luckily my father is in the powder coating business. Get some pics from him of the actual wheels and how they look right now and we can go from there.
