Really sorry to hear about your lost Minda. My prayers are / will be with you both.

 

... I remember your post about the "good news" and how exited you were. But now...
Life sucks sometimes, just hang in there, there will be better days.

 

she was about 6-7 weeks not sure exactlly.

 

well we made some good headway on my whitecar. got the motor in and turbo on just to see how it would look. here is are really shitty dark cell phone pic. i should have some better ones tomorrow.

 

ok, so i wanted to purpose another route for the drive for this meet...to meet with the 3 hour time frame...i'm suggesting we jump back on i26W towards NC...get off at exit 49A (Hendersonville, Hwy 64)...take hwy 64 over to 74-A/Lake Lure. then we take Old Hwy 9 to I-40/Black Mountain. Then we jump on I40W back towards Asheville, getting off at exit 53 (74-A) and taking 74-A back to Lake Lure (to make a circle!) and get back on 64 back to I26...and back to SC...

why this route? 1: 3 new roads we've not driven on a meet before. 2: the #9, I40, 74-A loop takes right about an hour (timed it last night). 3: there are a few more places to stop and stretch our legs about every 20-30 min (though not always scenic over looks).

why not this route? 1: not all the roads are twisty mountain roads: ie interstate...roughtly 40 min at start(i26), 20 min in middle (i40), and 40 min at end (i26). 2: more of a chance to get stuck behind a slow driver on the roads.

so, that is my suggestion, i will time the other route tomorrow, but i have a feeling it will end up being more of a 4-5 hour round trip from big daddy's. another idea might just be run up ceasar's head then 276 to the parkway, chill up at the overlook on the parkway for a few then come back down the way we came...

please let me know your thoughts on this...the 3 roads are great roads and very enjoyable..though not a constant 3 hours on them.


and for other business...
minda and lisa...hate to hear you lost the baby...guess you have to go back to trying again!

masin...nice turbo...

 

heres some better pics

 

masin, u wouldn't need such a big turbo if you had a bigger motor see you next weekend man...

 

no photo creds...? haha. kinda makes me rethink about giving tray his pic of his motor... hmmmmm, jk guys.

 

if i had a bigger motor then i would need a bigger turbo, or maybe 2!!!

 

you guys are nuts
supozidly my freind JR just got his hands on an RX-7 so if it's true i'll try and drag him along....

 

that turbo is huge

 

nah it's still smaller than his head!

 

...what makes them "nutz"? im confused.

nice lookin turbo masin. what EMS you running as of now?

 

b/c masins turbo is comparable to the size of his head! .. not that masins got a big head or anything, my head is pretty sizely itself


so where is the meeting spot? what exit, i cant remember how to get to big daddys

 

jon, its megasquirt. but im thinking about getting a power FC. and actually i have a huge head, if you have a turbo as big as or bigger than my head than i fear you and ur car.

ill let minda give direction for how to get to big daddy's because i know how to get there, but i really rather no **** it up.

 

I saw a white TII in lexington, and a red 1st gen on bush river rd. around 2pm today. Nice.

Jamin, How could you forget the exit to one of the best meeting areas for the SC rx7 meets!!
I cant believe you!! Its exit...umm...1...umm...

 

its exit 15 on I 26 turn right at the top of the exit go into Inman after first red light its on the right right past burger king.

 

let me add this at the beginning: THANK YOU ALLEN FOR THE SIGNATURE AND I'M SURE MASIN THANKS YOU FOR THE PIX OF HIS TURBO! AND IF I GET THE PIC OF MY MOTOR YOU TOOK, I WILL THANK YOU FOR IT THEN

ok, so it looks like my car will be bak on the road the weekend AFTER the meet!!! oh well, guess i'll show it off in Columbia and it gives me time to tweek it...

anyway, as for the meet/drive...sounds like we're gonna stick to the good ol' 276..and any objections to being out more than 3 hours?

look forward to seeing everyone on sat...

 

I cant make this one

 

haha no prob tray. ill get you that pic of your motor asap.

 

I dont have any objections on that one. I will try to clean up the SA by the meet but no promises it all depends how hard they work me at work couse some days I just get home and dont feel like doing anything well thats actually moste of the days but I will see if the grass dryes out so I can get to my garage to unload all the stuff out of it and get my cluch back up to working order I will bring it.

 

minda, the FD wont be able to join us on this trip?? looks i'll be riding along with someone, so i'll probably head down on friday evening...

its pretty...soon it will be in the car....thanx allen...and love the new sig! haha...

 

Well I'm not going skiing obviously (weather is being uncooperative) but I haven't had a chance to work on Zeta much either. I'm now waiting on a block off plate to be fabricated for the double throttle removal mod that I forgot to give the guys in the back . Once that's done I plan on putting her all back together.
