DFW RX-7 May 2011 Meet

Back from DGRR, now lets get the local party started

WHO: Lovers of heartburn inducing BoJangles food (and I don't get heartburn )
WHAT: Rotary Meetage
WHERE: 635 and MacArthur BLVD in the parking lot behind Cheddars/McDonald's
WHEN: Saturday, May 7, 2011 @ 8:00PM

I'll probably only be there for an hour because someone from my "extended family" is coming back to TX from NY for her birthday.

BTW.... for Andrew:

If your rx7 isn't done, I'm not coming. JK. I may shoot out there around 8.

Looking forward to seeing some RX's again. Been too long sense I've heard a good one up close. Gotta love that sound.

I'll be at Cars and Coffee Saturday morning. We had a good display of RX-13's last month. The more the merrier. Starts at 8:00 a.m.

See you there, hopefully.

It seems that early summer = cars on jackstands.

Mine is also getting worked on as well, so I will not be going. Plus finals are next week for me. BTW please check out my other post.

I might jump to the dark side and buy a RX8, so I can go to club meets where members show up. Come on people, fix your 7's.

Lol thanks for the pic EJay that still has me cracking up. I should be there as long as the nasty clunk noise goes away when I put the stock front swaybar back on. I broke my new (to me) modular Racing Beat front bar on the mountain somewhere. Glad it happened at the end of the trip though. I was definitely putting the car through alot of abuse

found the leak-TB to rats nest. I will order a new hose, but i doubt it will get here in time. Not too sure I want to risk using a hose (found a "spare" from somewhere) that is splitting on the ends.

Thanks for letting me ride with you.

I think this photo turned out pretty good considering it was from a cheap camera and hanging out of a window.



A little photoshop would make it even better.

I believe, in most cases it's operator related issues which curse the "RX7". I see so many halfass modifications on "RX13's" that cause problems. Do your research and do it right the first time.

Yeap, mine was running great but all those parts piled up in my garage were getting to me. I knew that it was going to be down for a while with the little time that I have available to work on it. Hopefully she be running in a couple of weekends if I get all the parts I ordered.

Hrm, I might miss the meet tonight. Some friends in Fort Worth require some of my equipment and I reckon by the time I'd make it back out to Irving it'd probably be a rolling "hi!bye!" to be on time out to Dallas for my extended family's birthday.
