Rotary pilots, awesome. I'll have to bust out my flight suit from when I was in the Air Force. |
Woot! Get to show of my new (used) Tokico struts, RB springs and Corksport oil lines. No more pitching and rolling, and no more oil leaks! Sadly, the sport springs didn't lower the car any, thanks to the fact that the 217K mile originals were sagging badly, but it's a lot more sure-footed. Definitely stiffer.
Now, if I could get some bodywork done... |

Totally forgot about the meet.
If I can get the oil changed sometime this week I'll be there in the Mazda, if not then the corolla. :( |
Fancy new digital gauges were installed last weekend and helped me confirm my turbo just doesn't flow like it used to. I should be there, but may be a bit tardy due to tired turbo. Guess it's about time to upgrade.
|
I'm going to try to roll thru for a bit.
|
I'm out on this one... Hoping to have my 7 running by the next meet. *Fingers Crossed*
Might show up in my is though |
I'll try and be there for my first N TX 7 meet

Oh, I'm sure there's still leaks - it's just not leaving puddles any more. The original oil hoses were literally dripping badly enough to actually puddle up, and now the undercarriage on the driver's side is so coated with oil, it's practically rust-proof forever. Also replaced a ruptured rack-and-pinion bellows boot while I was under there. Rear camber links are next ($80 each for those stupid little bastards!) I think I may just spray the thing flat white to get it all one color. Flat black looks awesome, but it's hot, and it's been done. I'm tired of the Winning Silver, which isn't really silver. More of a champagne, or light gold. And not much goes with the burgandy-tastic interior. Silver, black, white, and shades of grey are pretty much it. Maybe a nice gunmetal grey? |
I wish i could make it! :(
|
Does anyone have an extra vert center cap wrench? If so I would like to buy it for some rims I will be getting soon.:nod::nod::nod:
|
Well I'm in town for the weekend so I'll swing by and meet some peeps.
|
Well another great meet.
No pictures though because none were requested. |
Oh, found my $20, it was on my desk at home. -_- It fell out when I picked my wallet up.
|
Blargh - something I had agreed to do ended up being much later in the evening than anticipated. I swung by at about 11, just in case, but everyone was gone.
Spent some time today putting in new camber links (the little short ones on the inner end of each rear control arm) and removing the #$%! passive seatbelts on my '90 in favor of a normal set purchased from eBay some time ago. Still need to get some of the interior panels to match the regular belts from my '86 parts car and dye them, but the belts are in and working. Last time I'll hit my head on that stupid shoulder-belt latch while working inside the car! Need to get an S4 center console with the bigger storage bin now. |
just saw this thread...is this a monthly meet? same place/times?
about how many ppl show up? |
It's the first Saturday of every month.
Time and place don't change. |
^ ok, i'll try to make it out some time.
i usually go to the cowtown car meet in ftw & then the park spring/i-20 meet in arlington. both of those are every wed nite. anyone else here go to any of those meets? |
I've seen the meet at the Park and Ride off I-20. No way would I take my 7 anywhere near those kids... . No offense to you though as I don't know you, but those folks seem like a bunch of puerile wannabe racers.
That said, if you want to meet up with other 7 owners, meet us here on 1st Saturday |
Lol

wouldnt surprise me cause i heard a few wks ago cops came in and busted a few for various stupidity. |
Arlington meet comes and goes. Same with the Western Center one in Keller/Wataga/NRH area. Cops always come eventually because people want to "race"
Hella quik, you should check out the meet in south lake on sunday nights. its good, everyone's chill and the guys that run it are on good terms with the cops. |

Oh, look, same guy still has them: BBS Center Wheel Caps tool real MAZDA equipped car | eBay $8.99 + $8 shipping. Price went up a little since I bought in 2010. |
Cheaper one in the US: BMW RX7 BBS Center Cap Removal Tool | eBay
And apparently BMW has a different tool that works with the lug wrench like a giant socket: BMW BBS Wheel Cap Removal Tool *Lots of Models!* | eBay |
Well my car will be shipped here sometime middle to end of Oct so I should be able to make it out for the monthly meet in Nov if there is one held.
If the DFW RX7 ever need a good place to meet, I own a store in S. Arlington out side of the Parks mall we could use the parking lot and we would not be messed with by the po po. Pretty large parking lot, not sure it is in a central location but just thought I would put it out there as an option. Look forward to meet yall! |
^ that would be closer for me.
btw...my fd is still in the shop. |

Great seeing some of my Dallas friends at 7Stock. Hope the trip back was uneventful such as no fuel pump failures just outside Albuquerque :)
