Saw the same SA at JCCS. Had the SS trophy and a JCCS 2nd-place plaque from last year on his dash.

Still didn't open his hood, all day long.

Pretty sure it's been reshot recently - - it looks like K8 but it's way too metallic, and looks to be 2-stage paint. Some big pile of stuff in the rear hatch with a black cloth draped over it.

Similar show tricks our friendly SS 2nd Gen winner played. Smart players. Wouldn't want to play pocker against them.

Very funny.

That would have meaningful merit if I was in the courtyard part of the competition, which I wasn't you silly guy. Competitors win poker more by how good their poker face is than having the best cards in his hand. My hats off in congrats to the poker faces in this case as well as they were the winners even if better cards were being held by others.

FWIW, in conversation at the time Eddie was absolutley open and honest to anyone that asked about how he was playing his showing. So good for him on the win.

So tell me again why your dependable 7 wasn't at 7Stock?

Side comment. Anyone that hasn't clicked the "Beauty" link in Brismo's signature, you need to. Very VERY nicely done Oxymoron 1st Gen. Still not enough to convince me to change my signature though.

So both the 1st AND 2nd gen cars that won didn't open their hoods?

Dammit! Why didn't I think of that!!! So much for the celebration of all things rotary.

FWIW I think Eddie had the prettiest FC there so I'm glad he won. I still have to admit this strikes me as a tad ironic.

Any word on old-school or FD winners?

LOL ah you guys are a crack up. I would've popped the hood as soon as the judges would ask me to do so. Like I said, after the e votes went down hill and ended up in a **** pile, I gave up. I wanted to just hang out with friends and park with all the other FCs. To my surprise, I was pulled out from being in line (minding my dirty car's business) and placed in preferred parking to be voted on I guess. I didnt know I'd win without popping my hood. Well I plan on winning 1st place again next year and this time I'll even have the doors and hatch open LOL

How many people did you PM to try and win votes?

Who cares.

It's supposed to be a rotary event. Not a V8 event. But some gearheads seemed to have forgotten that.

Guys, I sure didn't mean to be inciting an argument; I was just interested in seeing what won in my division.

Outside of meets and shows, I really don't get to see anybody else's work, and until a little over 18 months ago I was doing all my work in a vacuum - - no clubs, no meets, no other rotary-holding friends.

So I'm curious as hell. Especially as I missed the damn show.

Truly, I didn't mean to be starting a Monday-morning QB'ing war.

It's all fun and games. just hate the fact that after its all said and done, there are those that still feel like their say so in the matter will somehow make the hads of time turn backwards so they can have the honor of getting a trophy...at more than one time and event LOL

Ah, come on guys.

Eddie won it fair and square playing by the rules. No rule said he had to open his hood or roll down his windows. Just honest representation he had a Wankle under his hood. When I asked, Eddie was totally up front with what's what. No doubt he would have been just as up front if asked by those judging. They just didn't. All this is NOTHING compared to what I heard went down at SevenStock4.

Sure there were a number of 2nd Gens on Vendor row (a couple with Blinged out 20B's come to mind) and elsewhere in the courtyard and show yard that a lot of people could argue were more worthy. But that's the situation in any subjective competition like this.

It's a subjective (and sometimes political) beauty pageant for cars with voting not unlike what happens at the Miss America pageant. The only time I recall that a Miss America winner had to give back their crown was when some supporter of a runner up found nude photos of the winner and posted them all over the internet. Lets hope none of the SS12 runners up find any nude photo's of Eddie.

PS No, that wasn't a photoshop's picture of me wearing the hat. I actually appreciate the effort that goes into making an RX7 into an Oxymoron no less than Fris putting a 13B in his Miata. Only in Fris's case I consider it am improvement.

Amen. I love V8 swaps in RX7s. I think it's awesome and I'm considering doing it to my other FC

I dont know why you have this misconception that I have built a car to park at shows. I've never believed in show cars. I do appreciate the work but I'm not a fan of building something so it can sit on carpet for others to gawk at.

I plan on driving my car as it was mean to be driven, hence the CX Racing stickers on my windshield. I didnt know that trophy meant so much to you. I really could've cared less about winning it but doing so made me proud of my work and time involved. FYI I did almost all of the work myself except, of course the kit and paint. this car was a bone stock base model NA when i got it only 11 months ago. now its fully rebuilt, legitimate TII from front to back and all done by my own hands so I'm sorry that I cant paint or own a spray booth.

Of all the people in the courtyard, you were the only one who didnt introduce yourself and then when I got that trophy, I swear I could hear your thoughts and the look on your face said it all. Everyone except for you came up to congratulate me but instead you lessen yourself as a person because your ego takes hold of you and your emotions and you cant let things be.

There is no doubt in my mind that you are a skilled driver and that your car is an amazing machine. You're also 2x older than I am with a bigger budget for your track time (I'm assuming). I'm 25, have an apt to pay rent on, bills, and then you go and blast me for not having all the things you have done to your car. So sad. Cut me some f***ing slack!!! Word travels fast in this small community we share so please dont say things that make me appear to be a cheater or an *******. I respect everyone and will never disrespect you in any way.

As for your track challenge, I appreciatively accept your challenge. I personally like streets of willow FYI. Maybe if I'm all dialed in by Dec I wanna do a SpeedTrials event then.

If you noticed I was not there much. I had better thing to do than talk cars with you guys. Remember I know alot of people in the community. I was there for more business than pleasure. As for the trophy, I said what I said because that is the way the voting has been for many years.

I would cut you some slack if you quit with your remarks about me. Its like you are obsessed what I have to say. I have my opinon and thats that!!!

Pm me when you are ready.

From what i recall you were at that chair behind your car most of the day. i know because I too was making sure noone messed with my car. So is it my fault I won? Was I intentionally parked with you in the courtyard? I guess you saw me running round telling everyone to vote for me. Sorry for cheating So if you were there for more business than pleasure... why are you so upset about not winning a trophy???

I wanna know what remarks I made about you... the only reason I'm finally saying something is because I'm tired of different members on here telling me that you're still butt hurt for not winning and talking random nonsense about me.

Look i posted the link to the V8 forum cause YOU posted **** well after Seven Stock was over and we were all happy campers. Why not let it die?? Why must more than 3 people PM m stating that you're still on this issue? Its non of your business if I pop my hood or not. Its non of your business if that shop did ALL of my work. it's non of your business to talk about me. Period. Just kill it now.


PS: I Love attention!!!!! Have you not seen my car!!!!!!!!!????

So if you were there for more business than pleasure... why are you so upset about not winning a trophy???
Dude do I need to come and give you a hug just I gave brismo a hug. If thats what will make you happy .

I wanna know what remarks I made about you... the only reason I'm finally saying something is because I'm tired of different members on here telling me that you're still butt hurt for not winning and talking random nonsense about me.
I only speak the truth. Anyone who knows me can tell you that im a big hearted guy. I have no hate towards you and your car. Just the way the voting went.


Yeah we'll see...
I hope so! It will be fun!!
