DFW RX-7 Jan 2010 meet (2nd Sat) That day being the 9th...
With the assumption some of us may either be out of town or hosting family, I am proposing a 2nd Sat meet, Sooooooooo.
WHO: j00
WHAT: RX-7 Meet in the DF-Dub area
WHERE: 635 & MacArthur BLVD in the parking lot behind Cheddars/McDonald's
WHEN: Saturday, January 9th, 2010 @ 7 (Sevens at 7!)
WHY: It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.
I'll make a pic later. I do have plenty of free time after all.

Will probably have to miss this one. Need to bleed my brake system before I can roll out of the driveway...and my garage is only going to get colder this week. I've got fluid leaking from a faulty ABS module 
I've got a quick question though.. I'd like to remove the ABS system all together as replacing the module will most likely prove costly. I've seen that the mazdatrix solution to T-off the lines leaves that area of the engine bay looking cluttered and messy. So I was wondering if its possible to swap out the brake lines from a non-ABS car into mine. I'm sure its possible, but is it a fairly straight-forward swap? Does it matter if they are between series, e.g. s4 and s5, or between NA and turbo (can't recall if they made any non-ABS t2s). I understand I'll need the NA brake booster if its from an NA car, but would there be any issue with having the larger, t2 brakes?
Has anyone here in DFW done this or is knowledgeable in that area? Are there fitment issues when doing this swap?
Thanks guys..... and girl

That's what those super BTU space heaters are for...... And on the other note, nope... everybody I know without abs had no abs in the first place. That unit is a fricken eye-sore in the engine bay itself.

I was always under the impression that GXL/GTU/TII brakes were all the same thing. In other words if you have 4-piston calipers up front its all the same.

I may be there, but it won't be in the '7 - that's at my parent's in Weatherford, so I could pick up my Dad's spare pickup, with automatic trans, so my wife could drive it. She broke her left kneecap on the ice Christmas day, and can't work the clutch in her Kia.
Speaking of Weatherford: hey Kyle, do you know who the heck this Tessai76086 person is needing MegaSquirt tuning? https://www.rx7club.com/south-rx-7-forum-34/megasquirt-tuners-around-880804/
Maybe you should talk to him/her about his/her forum name...

That's the plan, but one of the little things wrong with it is that the windows don't go up. 
If I can't get that to happen, then it may have to wait for warmer weather.
Plus, now the BMW's having weird power brake booster problems. Sometimes there's no power assist at all, the next time you hop in the car it's like nothing's ever been wrong. I'm thinking the one way valve is sticking. :P
