Wait, there are rotary owners in the Killeen area? j/k lol

I recently (after years of drooling after them) picked up an FC....$100 (no that's not a typo) in Austin craigslist. It's an '88 GXL that's in *very* good shape for the price. When and where do people meet, and does anyone know of a local source for u-joints? Mine broke an end cap on the front one, and it's currently my only vehicle.

There is a junk yard with about 4-6 FC's behind the mazda dealership. You should be able to see it if you look on google maps satellite view. Otherwise the Friday night meets at the Target in harker heights is the only meet that I know of. I haven't been in a while though.

I know where the place is. They're one of the more expensive ones in the area, though. Anyway, I found one on ebay, it's being shipped from Dallas. Should be here by Monday at the absolute latest.

Sadly my FC got sold to a good friend this week. Before I left the motor took a dump and I'm looking to get a 3rd Gen when I get back. Maybe if Fran has time maybe we can work on a 13B-REW swap on the RX8. (maybe)

Got rid of the FC? And my car is loud enough, straight pipes will make it sound horrible. And get your damn FD running.

There was a majority of us hanging out in Cove, but most of us are overseas.

My FD is running the clutch is just about completely shot though. Haven't got around to putting/ getting the other one put in. Not enough money and forgot to order the bearings until last week. lol I wouldn't mind going down to Austin for a day to meet up with some other FD owners.
