CA FD owners in or near Sacramento interested in being on filmed?

Hey I know a few of the FD owners here in Sacramento, but the ones I do know aren't running or don't have the proper motor installed. I'm an amateur Videographer and am looking to find some FD owners interested in showcasing their car on video. I've started making quick independent films on youtube and vimeo (no monies involved) and thought this would be a good way to represent the car culture to everyone else who has a negative connotation of us. I'll be posting this in the General Forums, but wanted to place this here first. Here's a sample of something I just completed.

Hope to meet more of you and share some video ideas I had with you

**EDIT**
Can a mod fix my noob title? I can't seem to spell right today

Was going to say the same, there is some fc's. Smogsux is building his somewhere using some holset and other stuff, and one more is being built with a t04e, but those are being "built" and arent running aswell. Youll probably have a better time going to the track amd finding some fast cars there.

That sucks. There's a white one I see drive around Sunrise by some lady, then a blue one around the south area, but I don't see them long enough to meet them.

There are at least 3 up here in Chico, though mine is the only one with a "swaproper" motor in it!

Seems hard to find a running FD with the original motor in it, so I'll open it up to FC and FD owners that are interested in being filmed for the next act. I'd prefer something that looks close to stock, but the primariy focus is clean.

That was cool. You should Direct the next Fast and Furious. Seriously though. That was throughly entertaining. GREAT production value. What camera was it shot on?

You know what he means Rx7what! Get your Honky-mobile outta here! =P

For those interested can you link me to current pictures of your car? Most of the next sequence will be filmed at night so I'd like to prep myself as far as lighting and color correcting.

That was actually some of the best footage I've seen...

There's plenty of us FD and FC guys with nice motors... just no time.

do a video on battlecat's project FD. needs coverage for being the longest FD project in the world! plus, for something that everyone's been waiting forever for, i feel it deserves a nice video for being one of rx7club's long anticipated projects announced here on the forum. and can't forget that once it's done, "everybody who'll see it implode." quoted from jaime himself.

gotta love the FD **** suckers. you know there's more than 1 model of RX7 right?

haven't changed my car in ages, perhaps you saw a blur of red one day and didn't get to see what a touched up stockish FC looks like.
