That last pic finally came out, looks good. Yeah, Sam told me the news, I was hoping he had someone knowledgeable doing the swap instead of some crap shop like Dean's around here doing it. How far away from being finished? Did you guys build up his engine any before putting it in or is it all stock?

I need to clip the paint down again, but need to do some touch ups first. After you rode it in it, it put down 342hp/322tq. I put a new top end on my car since then, new ported heads, valvetrain, ported throttle body, ported MAS. Put down 410/399 at the dyno. It'll scare the **** out of you.
I'm the one doing the FC for Sam too. I painted the engine bay yesterday and the engine and tranny went in today.

oh and the dvd has new music in it and i agree w/ masin... tv on the radio is a good fit for the opening to halfway through. i will burn the final copies for those who want one.

could do 215...probably head up from SC11 on 178 then catch 215, take parkway (if not closed) and come down 276...to 64...and work our way back to 276 (taking 64 keeps you from going right through down town brevard and catching all the lovely red lights)
as for salt, if the weather is good for the week or so before the meet, there shouldn't be any thing to worry about. but if the parkway is closed, i'll go ahead and plan a back up route.

That sounds like a fun trip Unfortunatly, I'm going (hopefully) skiing that weekend. Let me know how that runs works out. Sounds like it should be a fun drive. Think I'll take it the weekend after. If I don't... well someone PLEASE come help me put Zeta back together!!!

215 is a great idea... very fun and changing road w/ a badass place for pics. also, you can get on a brief section of the parkway to devils courthouse... also badass place for pics. but it is closed after that in both directions. salt... its all gone away probably by now. theres the latter section that we could drive. oh and if everyone wants... we could take 276 through the pisgah forest into downtown brevard and hop on the other 276 home (caesars head).
pics of 215:
just feeding the fire of something to do... its up to all of you.

as for 215...if we dont get on the park way, we can go up and come down and 215 intersects with 276 near waynesville...so go up 215, down the other side past the parkway, turn right onto 276, go up to the parkway, pass it and come down 276 past sliding rock and looking glass falls...i know how to get back to 276 WITHOUT going through brevard and messing with the traffic lights...i think it would be a good run....
masin, i think i said that if i can find another RX, i will attend the meet, i'm gonna see if my neighor wants to bring his (silver FD)...i might come down early and hide the black and white car and ride with someone if that would make u feel better? i have my fingers crossed i can pull off something i'm hoping to do in time for the meet...

yeah just go straight through the big redlight when coming down 276 and go through the country... thatll make a big short cut... missing downtown and all the redlights.

Long story short I just dont need it right now. Between the 4 sport bikes,2 dirt bikes, boat, WRX, and Im fixing to buy a new truck. SO the 7 is kinda in last place right now. The 3 yr old cant ride in it legally, the wife wont ride in it b/c of the 2stroke smell. I dont want it to just rot in the back yard till I can get use out of it.
Sorry Dont worry ill still be around not goin nowhere.

Next on the list, which I may start if I haven't gotten the block off plates yet, is to install a Push Start Engine Button and do the mod to have my CEL work with the PowerFC posted by <o:p></o:p>
DaleClark.<o:p></o:p>
Should I go on?
