Hey guys, just wondering if anyone would be interested in maybe meeting up and going out to dinner friday or saturday night as a group. If there is a better time just say so... BTW this is to all Huntsville and surrounding RX-7s (if anyone other than Mike Don and Chris are subscribed to this thread...)

Don is in NC at Deals Gap rotary rally this weekend. You should have went. Wish I was there also!! I am trying to go to the bridge street car show in the morning. If you go I will see ya there.

Dinner sounds good but lets try in next week or so. We could do Big Eds pizza!!!!

Waiting to here from Don his car got hit by hail pretty bad so I am guessing his car will be in the shop for a bit. So how many more passes did you make that night? I am going to start my clutch job this week so maybe I will be ready friday night. Let me know if you guys want to come out. I need some one to get some good pics and video of the car out of the hole. I am out of town the following week. Also going to Import Face Off May 31st if anyone wants to go. I have no chance but going anyway..LOL....

Hey dudes. Had a blast at DGRR. Beautiful weather, bad cars, and lots of rotorheads.
Big Ed's sounds cool to me. Post up a day and time (anytime after 6:30pm M-F). The 7 won't go into the shop till the garage is complete. Can't get it repaired to have the same thing happed again.
BTW Mike, I have your DGRR registration bag/T-shirt.

Go to the track.. My wifes grandma past the other night and she is still upset as they were close. She was 93! and still has 3 sisters alive, one 105 and twins 96! Thats some strong blood!!

So I do not think I will be going anywere car related till next weekend. I did get the jspec tranny and new clutch disk here. So I want to put that in asap. Track should be great tonight but very busy!

man i tried the move the sliver 13b first gen and it wont start.. just spins.

all the times before this it would start no prob.


on another note. we pulled the motor out of our white street car miata and tore it down... i think ill take a rotary motor ANY day other a piston engine. but rebuilding... id imagine the piston engine would be easier less complex
