Hah nice, I'd have to see it myself in person sometime.

 

I'll be driving it into work as soon as the weather gets better. I'm thinking about putting it in the car show in Cove on Saturday as long as it's looking like the rain will hold off.

 

Might be a bit, I got a flight to California on sunday morning. I'll probably check out that show in Cove though.

 

I was thinking 1-2 p.m. for pizza if that is cool with FJD unless we all hit up the car show?

 

I think I will check out the car show in cove since its 11am-1pm registration. Maybe we can scrape up an RX7/RX8 contingent? Give me a call or just find me( PM me for my number or ask FJDRX7). I will try to make it at 11am to see who is there and if its worth entering the show.

 

I might head over to the show, but would barely make it in time for registration... I'm trying to get some stuff done around the house and am hedging my bets against the weather. My car isn't in any show condition right now, but if it doesn't rain it might be fun to throw it in the mix just to see what happens... kind of like taking an APFT with a hangover.

 

With paint peeling off.... it would be like the APFT with a torn tendon and one leg. Oh well, might as well try it haha.

 

I figure our competition will at best be some neons/ civics with a body kit for the sport compact class. Its for sure worth a shot. My car isn't in the best shape either, it has plenty of little paint chips and stuff but I would just like to see some RX's out there.

 

No trophies for us, BMW guys pretty much took over the "sport compact" class. Here's some pics of the cars representing the rotaries. (I didn't bother taking pics of other cars because I don't really car about them).

 

It was still cool to meet up with another Rx7 owner and get sunburned to hell.

 

My car decided to stop shifting into fifth gear the other day

I'm feeling the agony when I got back home. I didn't think it was that bad.

 

sorry i didnt show up, next time.

i did the same a few years back, but i replace the tranny for a newer one

 

No problem, thanks for help on the FC.

 

I figured for under a hundred bucks for parts I couldn't go wrong. Everything else in the transmission looks great and works good.

 

I adjusted the TPS tonight and the car runs a whole lot better. No more CEL and doesn't hesitate when I rev it any more! I might look in to the cold start system next since it still has a little bit of a crappy idle when warming up.

 

Damn I forgot about this thread Where was the car show at?

 

It was over in copperas cove. There's a couple more coming up.

There's a Springfest Car Show in Killeen on 22 May at the Civic Center, but I can't find any more information on it.

There's a memorial day show in Harker Heights the next weekend: http://mtcctx.com/default.aspx

 

I am down for the memorial day show. Anyone else available to do it? Maybe we can get more than 2 cars there this time.

 

I have been thinking about doing that to my car.

 

I was stationed in Fort Hood, I never paid attention on a RX7 Club in that area that sounds pretty cool. I live in Houston now.

 

Yeah... and it doesn't look like I'll make it to the memorial day show... I'm jumping on a plane to NTC this week as well. It sucks that all the car shows in this area are all crammed into the first couple months and there's nothing else until the fall. Blame it on the sun maybe?

 

I talked my parts guy into giving anyone bringing their rx7 to our parts department parts at wholesale. Would anybody be interested in that?

 

^^^^ Is that at the Killeen dealer?

 

Any thoughts on this car? ( http://killeen.craigslist.org/pts/1755551213.html ) Its an 89 TII. I figured it would be a good parts car if anyone needed TII parts. It has eibach coilovers and some Mille miglia EVO 5 18" wheels on it. No engine but tranny back is still there. I wouldn't mind holding on to it if there is a little interest in some of the parts. I want the window motors out of it but $600 is a steep price for window motors. Making a decision over lunch tomorrow (26 May 1230).
