I'll try to make it out to one of those dates. Not sure what's going on so far ahead....

 

It looks like I'm not going to make it. I don't know about this weather or the gas prices. Plus, My altenator on my FD went out on me a few weeks ago and I haven't gotted it back yet. I would have to drive one of my other cars if I come.

 

Sadly, I will be unable to attend as well. Aside from all the speculation about fuel availability and cost, travel conditions due to the extra volume from the evacuation, and the storm.

The actual reason(s) I will not be able to make this event are, 1, my sister had to have her appedix removed this afternoon, and, 2, the relative we were planning to stay with, has a brand new cast on their foot/leg, less than 12 hours old.

Now, what do I need to do in order to get the t-shirts we ordered?
Damn, I was looking forward to this get together, I even wrote it on the calender as soon as the date was set. Was already packed and loaded up, when the medical calls came in.....

 

I regret to inform, that our plan to caravan to Dallas, will not continue as planned.

We are currently staying at a BEST WESTERN near San Antonio.

We also look forward to the next BBQ.

 

So tell us shlubs that stayed home how it went!

 

It was great driving down GreenOaks or whatever forever and not ever finding the place. There looked like there were 04397653480735 parks in that area, I didnt see one w/ a Rx7 there other than this recreational place that had a red fc.

GAYGYSAYGGYFGGFKUHFU:H!@!#@

ps. I was caught maybe 100yds away from that 18wheeler explosion on I-20 west. Had the whole highway shutdown, sitting there w/ no ac.
Im in the pissiest mood ever, between 2457578436 cars doing 40 on the highway that have LA plates & uhauls.

 

Yea, how did it go? I had a couple of house showings today....big changes have happened since I posted last...

 

Big thanks to Dazy for having put together this event.
Lots of nice cars and familiar faces.
Congrats to Bob for taking Best 3rd. gen and Best of Show and can you believe the project car is not completed yet???!!!

 

well wtf happened to my dfw-rx7 photo gallery thingy? I sure as hell dont feel like re-registering just to post some pics

 

In the migration off of the 450Mhz box to the dual 800MHz box Gallery somehow got munged. All the files are there, the database is there, etc. but no images. I just nuked it and reinstalled it after wasting too much time at work playing with it.

 

Just a couple of shots for the anxious....I haven't seen so many RX-8's together at one time since visiting a new car dealership to see the car in person when it first came out...

 

Sadly, the 1stgen contingent only had three playahs before I showed up...including this wicked gray beast with the FD mill....370+ rwhp, I believe...

at 10 psi

 

I got there late (2pm) but it was really cool, a lot of nice rides. Thanks to everyone who put it together, Im ready for the next one.

 

It was great. Thanks to everyone involved and congrats to all the winners.

 

[QUOTE=1sgen] At 10 Pounds!!!????
What turbo set up is he runing????
The compressor seems very small on the engine photo, like a TO4E.

 

My first gen didn't make it but I did. It was awesome. Nobody should have stayed home jsut for wether. Traffic, gas, and relatives I can get, but teh waether was great. Didn't rain one bit. My car will make it next time.


EDIT: It was a pleasure meeting ALWAZL8 and hangin out. Damn nice cars those 8s are. Huge thanks to all those involved in making this event happen. Hope to see you all at the Tulsa Spring BBQ.

 

It was a fun event and I had a great time. Too bad they didn't have an award for dirtiest car as I would have won. Guess I'll just have to play with my spinning rotor keychain.

 

Dammit, I was almost ready to just go ahead and make the trip early saturday, in spite of my sis being in the hospital. Looks like I shoulda just done it. The 1 gen section needed more cars.
Well, I hope to see everyone at the Tulsa BBQ next spring.
I really wanted to attend, but the cards fell against me at the last minute.

 

Real family is more important than rotary family. You did the right thing imo. There'll be plenty of first gens at the nest Tulsa BBQ.

 

ta45cr
72 a/r cold
street port nothing specail or secretive
actually made 446 at 14 psi and slipping clutch
actually looking for ideas for a good clutch that will take 450 rwftlbs of torque, i dont think i'll be there but i'll be close to 400 so this way it will be safe.

 

by the way i made 372 on a to4e 60-1 at 10 psi

 

thanks again for those who organized the event. Had a ton of fun! Good to see old and new faces too.

 

You must have some secret tuning, because I have a street port with a TO4E from HKS and all the go fast goodies to go along and I'm puting down 360rwhp and 305 rwtq at 15 pounds (Dyno sheets have been seen by Gilbert, Juan, Bob,Jason,Tim and a whole bunch of other people here).
My last tuning was by Chris at RP with 80% injection duty cycles and conservative A/F ratios.
I'm not a tuner or a builder, but that sounds like alot to me for 10 pounds of boost only.
Hey more power to you man, I can't imagine what you can do with a T78 or T88.

 

If there was a trophy for Latest Arrival, Robert and I would have been a cinch
