Too cool! I'm hoping to have the Gray '83 ready by then, if not, I'll be there in the Tweety yellow '84.

I'm out.... I'm flying down to Kennedy Space Center to watch one of the few remaining launches. End of an era.

I'll try to catch the next meet!

Indeed. Give it to me and I shall dispose of it for you.

I shall likely be at the meet, but it will be either in the little Kia Spec5 or the big Dodge diesel truck. My SA is still dead, and the FC is at my parents (from which the truck came, for my wife, who has a broken kneecap and can't drive a stick for now.)

I'll try to make it this weekend, definitely need to clean up the FD beforehand lol. Pluto, do you typically instruct over at MSR? I've got a few of their events on my track calendar this year and will be great if I get you as an instructor.

I'm on-call for work and my clutch is slipping in 5th, but I should still be able to make it. I got the reverse vent for my hood painted and installed. Hope everyone likes. Clutch and diff. mounts are ordered.

Hope you make it out. I've been waiting to see that water-air cooler! Were you able to measure the intake temps?

Nah your car is nice, but since its n/a this means you MUST repair the FC!


Aaaaaand since the FC's brake system vents to atmosphere right now, it looks like I'll have to take my n/a out this month.

Sell FC, get supercharger then. Tell Mazda techs that its an add-on tensioner pulley to further avoid belt slippage. It works every time. IF it breaks, make them put ceramic seals in (yes they make them for the RX-8 now) the replacement engine.
