Sorry I didnt make it. Had to work this morning. I did drive my FD to Andy's today. Damn it was nice to drive it again. We did confirm that my front rotor is bad. The compression is very low. So that is causing the engine to hard start when it is hot. So the next time I can come I just can't shut the car off!

The cars and coffee was awesome. Wish I brought my camera.
I did swing by k-mart but didn't stay long. Noone showed any way, that I know of.

I'm just going to give everyone my number. Then we can coordinate a little better.
843-478-9898 .
For those that don't know we were all at Trevor's house trying to put my 7 back together after it got broken into so I can go to DGRR this year. So it's entirely possible we were there when people started showing up at K-mart.

Clayed and waxed the 7 yesterday. MUCH better!

I'm still working on a few odds and ends, but it seems like everything is good to go on my end. What is the proposed departure time? It's looking like I may be able to leave as early as mid-day Thursday, so let me know what's up!

Ive been working on fuel leak all weekend.. it all started when i installed 1600's, KGparts fuel rail, and pressure gauge. discovered a bad regulator, replaced it with an FC regulator, then the damper sprung a leak, fixed it, sprung a leak again,re-fixed it, then the primary/secondary connection started leaking, fixed that. LOL it finally seems to be worked out now knock on wood


I want to leave Charleston thursday morning around 10AM, and be up in columbia around 12pm or so. I want to swing by Tray's in asheville to swap my taillights out. There is also a dyno/tune thing going on that day in asheville

We just got my son an 85FB for a song. Low miles and one owner until us. We have been messing with these for a couple years now since we put the engine out a wrecked one in my sons samurai and he loved them so much he had to have a street one too. Stock for now, exhaust will be the first mod for a while since he just turned 15. Below Anderson in the upstate.

Not real active. We seem to try to get events started, but then they just don't materialize. Cars don't get finished as planned, me included. We really need some help. Glad you are here; now we have some new blood.
