This Saturday.

So my pilot bearing repair has turned into an engine swap.
Ive resurrected my half bridge port motor, thanks to Juan for fixing the front iron.
The motor is built, just need to finish installing the things on the outside of the motor, then put it back in the car.
Then get it running.
Tune it.
Have fun.

Depending on what I get done Friday, Saturday I might be: putting motor in the car, and/or: getting it running & tune.

All are welcome to come over an hangout, watch, help, whatever.

Call me for directions, ph# in my sig.

-Toby.

Well, at least forewarned is fore-armed
I really don't know of any good shops down here. Emphasis on Good. See what 20B10AE has to say - he seems to know the situation on the folks in the area.

Got everything back together to the point of filling it up with coolant, that's when I discovered I need a new water pump.
So I ordered one.
But it will be a couple more days till I get her running.


I miss driving my rx7.

So I might have my 7 running by Saturday, so I could bring it to cars & coffee that morning.
Fingers crossed.

Great news everyone!


I got the Bridge-port started and running today.
Brother helped tune it. It needs more work though.
Its drivable.
We're going to be doing more tuning Saturday.

Probably not going to C&C though.

So... My engine should be finished up at Rotorsports Racing this week. Is there anyone with a truck that would be willing to go up with me and get it and bring it back to Columbia?

Anyone?

We'll be there and without the kid which makes it sooo much better!!! Unfortunately, we'll be there without the 7 too.

So just checking to make sure it is still the Lexington Buffalo's and not the Wild Wings out at Harbison? Right

I'm going to bring my photo gear. If anyone wants photos of their car, I'll be doing a $30 special. Fully edited shots to show off your car. This isn't limited to RX-7s, in case any of you bring friends tonight!
