El Paso Area
 

Anybody from there? Whats there to do? Any good tracks? I know Arroyo Seco is an hour and half to two hours away. Whats closer to do? Any good scenic trips? Let me know. Going to Bliss when i get back from Afghanistan.

wow i knew el paso was shitty but damn nobody lives there? lol

ill be there brother in August

Lol atleast thats one person going. Heard the street car scene is slim to none out there. Arroyo Seco is only an hour and a half away though.

been in El Paso since 08, bike scene is pretty sick, but the car scene is hit or miss. if your looking to get something clean, you wont find it in EP, youll have to build it. I picked up an FD and it turned out to be a little bit of a piece, but nothing a fewgrand didnt fix. now its one of 3 in the city. If you want guys to work on your rotary, EPT Motorsports are gonna be your guys. they have performed miracles on my ride, and i will be going to them for my rebuild as soon as the time comes. I guess it helps that the owners are rebuilding two FC's in the back corner of their shop haha

Yeah heard the street car scene is pretty shitty. All i've seen mention are car clubs of pretty much stock tahoe's on 24's, an indash, and some shitty glow gauges lol. Sucks. I really dont want to go out there. Looks like i'll be using my reenlistment to go somewhere else. I already have an FD so im not really looking into buying anything out there. All i need is a place to live with a garage.

That shouldnt be a problem, there ar new developments shooting up everywhere out here, and i dont know too many NEW houses without a garage, so renting something shouldnt be too bad. BAH isnt exactly amazing out here, but it does its job. only thing that truly blows is the 8.25 percent sales tax. But if youve never been to el paso before, you are in for one hell of a cluture shock bro haha

Yeah unfortunately BAH for me is like $917 or something like that. Most of the nicer plays like the place i have in killeen cost over $1k a month there. Im trying to find something nice though. I've never been before but i hear its shitty. Complete opposite of where im from. I'll miss muddin' and riding the mountains of Georgia. Gotta get use to the damn sand. Anybody in El Paso want to help do my LS2 swap? lol. According to my neighbor my car is leaking oil and coolant. No clue where from though.

Hey all. I am out in El Paso as well and hadn't found to many people into rotaries. But just letting y'all know there are others. Seems like there is not too much going on in the car seen regarding 7's, but maybe it just needs to get started.

there is a mini meet every wednesday night , behind Fox Plaza on Alameda and Paisano. It is cop regulated and keeps everyone in line for the most part. Ill be goin tonight, so look for a red FD with enkei FN01R-C's

ill be there with all my tools guys and all the engines for rebuilts, jaja, see you all there

two weeks to el paso....

i'll be there monday night... not looking forward to this.

@ OC DEBO, Hey man I will be planning to go to the mini meet this Wednesday so I'll look for you if you are planning to be there this week. I'll look for your FD. I'll be rollin in a stock FC s4.

im finishing 4 engines this week, pack the tools and the house and move, then i will do 2 more there after i finish umpacking and the rest LOL

Im here now, living off of the west side of mesa. Not a bad area but I haven't seen much out here.

You went too far Fran but that's the Army for you lol!

LOL Gilberto come visit me before i leave, is not that far, just a different area hehe!!! i still do your engine no probl

Sounds like a plan. You're right, it's not all that far. It's been a while since I been out that way.:)

so i've been out here for 2 weekends now and havent seen anything. Several Porsches and a bunch of rice, but nothing great. Hell i've only been driving my car like once every few days because theres no reason to even get it out over here. Somebody save me lol.

ill be there the 20th now, im coming with two engines in the truck to finish them there and off course the car in the trailer

There is a rotary sceen here...we would get together the first Sunday of each Month. Ill talk to the guys to see if we are gonna start up again. About a total of 6 FD's, Hand full of 2nd and 1st gens and my RX4. These are just street cars, locally there is a FD running 10's and a RX2 from PR doing the same.

The drag strip is on the far Eastside if anybody is intrested let me know we are going this friday

Could this be the rebirth of the rotary meets? Hey tinman, rotor85 from swd.
Damn you el_rotary...i was about to go to sleep and you txt me about this...i will kick you....and it will hurt you bastard!!

Will I be the fastest proven street rotary in el paso once again.....I think yes! :)

P.S.
Thats if I get the okay from the warden to take my car out ha ha ha

Ask the warden to let you take your shovel too.....

hmmm maybe ill actually get to come out this friday. my car never sees any action. doubt ill be running it though. not with the current tires. does this track require a helmet?

From my understanding helmet required for 11.99 or faster. BUt on TNT nights they dont stress it much.

It doesnt but we use one regardless. Not sure why rotor does though, he really doesnt need one with the times he has been posting....i kid. Its all fun between him and I

U sure are brave rick....for someone who has to ask for permission to race her, i mean his, car

its alright, if i were to run i'd probably post a 16 spinning the whole way. My car is nothing serious and needs a tune BAD. i'm only boosting 8lbs for some reason.

hey, no names over the internet...:) She actually gave me the ok already...just make sure your ready, that is to tow my car home...ha ha ha

16s...sounds like you and rotor are in the same league. That is with rotor using slicks....;)

Ill invoice you for the trailer fee. And we all know ur real name is Cuco.


Tin,
U got a boost controller on urs? Vacuum leak? I know the rats nest in those can cause that. Get a bag of zip ties and go to town on those little hoses.

Dont forget the happy wg opening like a madman. Its all good Cuco...at least when
Monday rolls around ill still have a job....lmao!!!!

You know im the best employee you have, thats why you cant afford me. ;0 See you friday.

Lol i think on slicks i'd be in the 12's atleast. Its quick. I've been through the vacuum lines and didnt see anything broken or cracked. no boost controller, just a pfc. I think it might be tuned to 8 psi because it was a mail order tune... idk?

its running rich as shit too

race wars between friends.... love it and those are the best ones, after the race some coors lights and rotor talk

Mail order tune? Forget that, those things never really work the way theyre supposed to. Too many factors. We'll talk this friday!!



Thats how we do it!! :icon_tup:

lol you dont have to preach to me about it. the guy that had the car before me cut a few corners, like spray painting the wheels silver, i cant get the damn overspray off the tires still. I've went through a corrected a few of his mistakes.

Joe's engine done before i leave tomorrow, dang!!! last one in Killeen

looks good...i see huge ports!

Damn, looks really good.

FJ and Tinman, you guys wanna meet somewhere tomarrow so you can follow me to the track....figured since you guys are new it would be easier.

im still at Killeen, i will be there tomorrow night

Hey the track is on the way to El Paso on I-10....just pass by. No better way then to end a long drive with some fun at the track.

Looking good Fran, suerte en el Paso.:icon_tup:

Yeah text me tomorrow and we will meet up somewhere. In processing in the morning then hopefully getting my a/c vacuumed and charged before 5.

Whats your number or rotor has it?

rotorican has it. we live like 5 miles apart. I'm about a half mile from the mesa/resler intersection behind the highschool.
