Okay i tried a search to see if antbody else has said anything bout this but i just came up with a bunch of posts saying go look at what they did here junk, anyways if you try to go there it says this domain may be for sale by its owner, and then it gives a bunch of links to random mazda stuff, i was dissapointed to find this happening because they were the ones to build the rx that ran on pinks if im not mistaken. they had some god stuff on there sight too. Oh and i figured this post should go in second gen specific being it was called FC3S.org

 

err never heard of it :P

I do know they became speedmachineperformance.com though.

 

im only aware of speed machine performance (which is who ran the 7 on pinks) and teamfc3s.org which i believe are seperate entities.

 

yea, like rx7ridah says, i think you're thinking of teamfc3s.org (even if it was only mentioned in threads that it's called fc3s.org)

 

Ah team fc3s.org thanks now i feel like a tard lol i forgot the team in the address

 

there used to be a fc3s.org - they are now speedmachine
there is also teamfc3s.org
-a

 

FC3S.ORG was owned by Dave Gibson, and the domain name should still be under his name.
I wouldn't be surprised if ownership did get changed if got a good enough offer.
Yeah, the website was "shut down".
There's a thread on the Lounge if you're interested in the details.

Dave was also a part of SMP, but they have parted ways recently.

So...technically, FC3S.ORG has nothing to do with SMP, period.

TeamFC3S.ORG is run by a bunch of morons.

Great im beyond confused now lol so maybe i was thinking of the right site at first but got the pinks car mixed up

 

+1

 

K i was thinking of the right site just got the pinks thing wrong and i will never go to team fc3s.org again, some guy over there is tryin to put an rb motor in a second gen.................IDIOT, what would be the point of that, i dont condone the addition of pistons in an rx but if your gonna do it use an ls engine, since the rb has never been done as far as i know it will cost more for way less power i guess the aftermarket may be better......maybe

 

So one guy's personal project makes you hate teamfc3s?

 

there was a lot of stupid stuff like that over there, if your gonna make a swap like that dont go ask for help with that engine on an rx site, go to a 240 site

 

speedmachineperformance.com appears to be gone as well

 

Anyone take it over or buy them out?

The FC3S.org guys used to live down the road from me. Dave Gibson seemed to be a fairly standup guy, but his buddy and co-founder of the site stole injectors for himself that were bought through them. Besides that, he gave a lot of bad information about fuel upgrades/boost levels that lead to a blown motor. This was back in '02, so I didn't have the experience necessary to know he was full of cra p.

 

are you talking about craig (the old motor builder) or matt (with SMP) dave's doing good with that new website/shop i posted above

 

He's probably talking about Craig Stevens. That guy was and is such a huge crook. Avoid him at all costs!

Dave Gibson was always super nice and helpful when I lived in San Diego. Not sure for the split between Dave and Matt but hope all is well.

 

All is well with me my friends. I know there were a lot of...things... that happened when I resigned. There is so much that I have heard and documented since I left, it is insane honestly. If one were to believe what they were told, I embezzled money, sold parts on the side, took paychecks from vendors directly, built bad engines (even though I found out that they were being built on the side by someone else even BEFORE I left!) But it is what it is. The people who really know me, knew that it was BS and heard my side of things, or knew already what was true and what was made up to make themselves look better, or to try to get themselves out of the bind they created. Honestly, going out on my own was the best decision I have ever made. Now I make the decisions without anyone else dragging me down.

RotaryRocket88 - you lived just down the road with the silver S4 and the red vert right? I think we came over a few times a long time ago and hung out in your garage shooting the ****. Sorry to hear about the bad intel you got. One of the reasons I stepped away... it started to get back to me.

Honcho - how the hell are you doing man?! I haven't seen or talked to you in ages. You still working with my buddy up there? LOL :P What's **** up to these days?

 

Dave, glad to here from you man! I'm surprised you remembered me by my screen name. Not much new here other than being a broke *** stay@home-dad with a 2 1/2 year old that's already into cars and giving me white hairs. I still sell parts and wrench whenever I can get a free minute. Been sticking mostly with the old school these days too since it's more timeless; not into fads and all. I grew up with those RX2s and RX3s anyhow, so I've always had this desire to build one up and pass it on to my kid. Oh yeah, messing around with Subaru's too now. We're already on our 2nd one. The family car is a turbo Foz. What can I say? I just got a weak spot for oddball engines with funky exhaust notes.

Dude, I still remember your 30th birthday party at Matt's house. Everyone was all tipsy, falling off that damn pocket-bike and scraping their knuckles down the street.

My buddy up here. LOL! Yeah, he's mellowed out and we don't do anything business-wise together unless we know it's all kosher with each other upfront. Egos gotta get checked at the door. He got married, downsized the business (doing the solo thing too) and openly admits he was a bit of an *** to a lot of folks. He's way more chill and down to earth these days. He's one of my few cars friends up here, but it's a bummer we're both so busy we barely see each other.

**** is doing good. Still living in Oceanside and finally got a decent white collar job. After putting over 60,000 miles on his bike he finally needed a car and bought a really clean black 1997 Miata. You know ****, doesn't care what people think (ie. chick car) and loves how cheap it is to run it. Wants to boost it as soon as he can. I usually see him when I go down to SoCal and I'll be there this weekend for the Japanese Classic Car Show but he'll be in Wisconsin for his sister's wedding. I'd like to see you when I'm in SoCal too, but it looks like you moved to North Cackalacky?

Whenever Craig's name comes up both Tit's and I get heated!!! That dude was so selfish it was crazy. All that dude knows how to do is take take take until there is nothing left to give. Glad I didn't go to SevenStock because I might have seen him and not sure what my reaction would be. That fool still owes me a Walbro fuel pump!

Dave, I'll send you a PM 'cause I could go on forever. Hope you are doing well and you mos def deserve all the success you've earned; you worked your butt off for it plus all the drama!!!

BTW: Next time you're in NorCal you better look me up. I still have the same 619 number!

You could buy my rx3 for your son Vince.

 

^Good one Tuan. LOL! No offense, but I've got a hell of a deal lined up on an original owner RX3 wagon once the guy gets back in the country.

The only one I know crazy enough to buy your cars right now is me... and I'm as broke as everyone else, probably even more so.

Get some rest man and hopefully I'll see you at the JCCS!
