Getting to the BBQ or the Drag? I figure we will get to the drag at 6:30...If you are talking about the BBQ then probably between 9 - 9:30 to setup.

Damn, we are just 14 people short of having 100 people registered. I belive by Saturda we will have 50 or more cars. Lots of last minute people.

I went down and bitched him out and he says he can't get to it till tomorrow. I need something to drive so I told him that I would be in on Friday morning at 8:30 to get this **** fixed. I have been all over that car since he did the swap and I've noticed all kinds of stuff hooked up wront. The ground that grounds to the long bolt on the starter is unplugged, I have no reverse lights because he didn't reconnect that, and of course...

After dropping everything I had in the bank into this car to fix it/upgrade it.... THE DAMN CLUTCH IS SLIPPING AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

*sigh*

Hi. I have an Rx-7.

Who did the rebuild always post who so others wont make the same misstake.Next time bring your rx-7 to ROTARY RESOURCE (918)-280-8895 ROB you wont regret it.We try to note all existing problems with a motor before we install evey rebuild all parts are mill guage checked if they are being reused.If the clutch is slipping whoever did the rebuild 4 u did not check the disk with a mill guage nor did they check and resurface your flywheel this is done free of charge with every motor rebuild at our shop.Makes more sence to inform the customer of any forseen problems to come look at problem and decide if they wish to have it fixed/replaced .This is how we do it anyway.I am very positive our shop is the ONLY rotary shop worthy of working on or rebuilding these motors in OKLAHOMA.Give me a call and I will show you some of our work.Some of the people on this very thread have motors built by us.

That many cars/people start to "Invade" the park, surely the other users will be thinking we are some kind of gang, or something.
Looks like this will be a great turnout. Thanks to all who are organizing this event

I was thinking the same thing. We officially have the space rented but a few more cars and we wont have any more parking We may have to overflow into the area beside ours

Yes, it's definately going to be a good turnout. So far there are 6 of us from the Tulsa area hosting this. I have to thank all the other guys for pitching in time and money to get this off the ground.

So we all have to thank these guys so far....But i'd say hold the thanks till after the Even

I've tried calling you guys before but maybe I have the wrong number because nobody ever answers.

I'm really interested in having you guys figure out my idle/lack of power problem because I have been unable to figure it out. If my mechanic who is doing my tranny work doesn't work out I will def call you. I haven't even gotten the bill for the flywheel, clutch, or pressure plate in yet and they are failing.

Def PM or post your number for me. I know I will end up calling you guys for help. Do you guys perhaps allow you customer's to bring the parts they want installed and then install it for labor? If so you can def expect business from me.

It's gonna be a great turnout.
How about 55 cars, and 110 people. Sounds like a good number to me.......
Wonder if anyone will try calling the police, about the "Gang meeting"

Cool, I had my first gen in Fort Worth on the 14th-15th of this month. Didn't see a single RX7/8 anywhere besides TMS.
Be interested to know kind of fuel mileage an 8 gets, compared to the 25.5 MPG I averaged with my '83.

The 8s are sporratic in the area. I can go for weeks without seeing one on the road and then see 5 in one day.

Gas mileage isn't that great, averaging 20 mpg around the forum (I'm guesstimating). Personally, I get 17-18 with all city, 21-22 all highway.
