I'm semi-currently on the hunt for a 97-98 Tercel.
The engine-blown S5 FC I was going to get turned out to be an engine-blown S4 so I'm pondering still attempting to sell my vehicle for a pittance and picking up a said Tercel.
i'm shipping them out today Casey, since i had to work on all my comps and home network yesterday.
still getting everyone's cars done, slowly but surely and i have few minutes left on my cell phone because it seems to have turned into an RX7 hotline for questions that can be answered here so if it seems like i'm ignoring my phone it probably is because i am. i'll get a land line put in the shop sometime in the near future but when calling just keep in mind to keep calls short and only ask questions that you can't the answer to by looking for yourself with a little effort guys.

He has a two tone blue on black rattle can fc. He was on the cruise earlier this month. He's from washington but is down here for UTI(not urinary tract infection)
Speeking of the weekend there is an autocross this weekend as well. This time it's at mather field. It's on a landing strip instead of a parking lot so the course is gonna be much bigger. It is now the training center for the CHP to practice stunt driving and maneuvers. We had three last weekend. I'd like to see more so we can shame all the 240sx owners that come. And did I mention it's for the ******' kids. All money collected on Saturday goes 100% towards the Shriners charity. Hopefully they won't blow it all on fez's and mini cars for their parades.

I'll be there Saturday. My Azenis hopefully come in Thursday so I want to test them out. I'll probably be in run 2 in the CSP class 
I'm gonna get raped...
And ya Hopkins, I think you can join SCCA at this event. They have free helmets you can borrow. They're what I use
Just wear your RPM sock under it if you're affraid of all the sweat and lice crawling around in those helmets.

Ben just send me a PM I will gladly reimburse you for your time and shipping. Also what cell phone carrier do you have. If you have AT&T/cingular all cell to cell calls are free.
Plus we get the I Phone next month
. Very nice.

I know there arent alot of old schoolers here beside Smeagle and myself, but found this over the weekend. It has been abandoned in the desert since the early 80s. aside from the surface rust on the driver side its sort of solid 
. It needs a bunch of work, but I finally found a coupe. Bone Stock but needs lots of love. Just love hunting for these cars.
NY/NY really has to put me to work soon so I can start buying parts. Once I do might be picking up a 4 door and rx4 at the same time.

Phoenix rises from the ashes
Ahh... been a while since I've posted on here. Well it's good to be gangsta again. Ben finished up my ride this week and now I'm breaking it in. I got to meet Jackie, Juan and Tony outta Vacaville (go Air Force) while spending time at Ben's shop.
Took the 7 out for a late nite spin around the block after getting it from Ben and had kids up my tail pipe and guys trying to rev their engines as I cruise by. Can't a brutha just roll around the block in peace?
Anyway... I'm anxious as **** to get the motor broke in and have Ben retune it. Nothing spectacular about my mods... all pretty mild but props to Ben for quality work. About the only thing that's uncommon with my set-up is the cat back. I have the Tanabe Medallion Concept G exhaust which is meant to keep sound levels below 93dB. So if anyone is interested... I'll see about doing a sound clip.
