^^ Yep...this foo was mashing like his motor was just tip top shape...im following like " Hell nah, my 13b is screaming for cool air".

Id prepare with a good amount of coolant and motor oil, even some water wetter for good measure and were set. A rotary presence is definitely in need on the next run. I got a 510 to take down on the next one haha

I was pushing the 240's in front of me with the Celica. I can't wait to get my RX-3 out there. I took my Green one last time and it was just scary. But's it's stock!!!

240z's are amazingly awesome. Apart from rotaries, those are my favorite sports cars.

Yeah I've got two RX-3s. One is a box stock Automatic car that has 13x8 revolutions on it. Just a great cruiser. The other is a bridgeported 13b with Tokico illumina's, Ground control coilovers and GSL-SE front suspension and brakes. The rear is a narrowed and LSD's 79 Supra rear. I'm saving to get the driveshaft made for the car and brakelines. After that she's a runner. I've been trying to get the money together to get the car on the road then I got the deal on the rearend. So that set me back again. All money well spent though. The car will be a blast and is being made soley for this purpose. BEAT ON IT!!!!

I need to get up front with some of those 240's though. Seems like they were the only ones running hard out there. The group I was with wasn't pushing too hard. I think we were the third pack coming down. That RX-3 wagon was suprising though. I didn't expect him to be running with the lead pack. I liked that car alot.

Yeah man, I heard about that wagon...think he even had kids in the back too
Was he driving a lil hard? Maybe you can lead the pack next time or even go against that 510...his name was Casey, he seemed pretty canyon experienced.

Well, whenever I need another RX3, your my go to guy....hopefully I can find one, for now im focusing exclusively on just the FC. It needs as much attention as it can get.

Pics of the project 3 by any chance?

You guys do realize that is in an "OLD SCHOOL" meet right. So it's mainly intended for the Crome bumpered imports like the RX-3, 240Z, Corollas and stuff like that.

Well, it would be cool to have a sub group of rotaries...FD's FC's FB's kinda doin our 7club thing to the side. Not really interfering with the ol skool meet.

Hope it doesnt bother the ol skoolers too much. I just would'nt want authorities to start getting involved either due to too many cars.
