They all bailed all of a sudden. It used to be 3 or 4 RX-7s and 8 RX-8s. Now its 4 or 5 RX-7s, 2 or 3 Evos, 1 Starion, 1 Cobalt. Bring your FD out here RE Drifter!

Man! I don't know what happened but I got there and saw no one but one red 2nd gen. Drove all the way from SFV! Anyway looks like it was a good turn out (somewhat). We ended up going to In and Out for some burgers and then to California Speedway for the PSCA. The cars there were extra MAD!!!! Saw one of my boys there with a mustang...afer many problems, he pulled a 6.95 @ 203mph!!!

What time did everyone show up...I was there @ about 10:40am?

We leave by 10AM usually. The first post in the thread says we meet from 9-9:30 (usually end at 10) and take off from there.

Sorry for missing some of your guys' plates. I already tried to edit them but my Photoshop isn't working right now. If it works tomorrow night I'll fix them. I've got higher res pics available too upon request.

Thank you, sir. Considering the high level of workmanship I've seen at the meets, I'm flattered.

Yes, I do need to get tires so I can trust the car more at speed. Workin on it.

Absence, you got some damn fine pix there, too! Shame we didn't have a sunnier day. Oh,well; summer's gotta get here eventually.

They are the same exact car. Chrysler simply imported and sold them under a different name. All plates from manufacturer on my car are mitsu. As for the one in your picture that is an older version called a "flatty"83-86. My version is the WB for widebody85-89. The flatty is what Jackie Chan and Jaws drove in Cannonball Run. the flatty's were also usually non-intercooled turbos while the widebody's all came with a stock front mount.

BTW- Jason, your FC is looking very very good. Nice job so far.

Allright guys here's a random post. I've got some free stuff I'm giving away that isn't going to make it with us to Memphis.
1yr. old kids dresser set. and night stand
nice casual dining table with glass top and comes w/ the 4 chairs pictured.
If you want them please come and get them. I'm giving them away to prevent me from doing anything further with them..like moving them

Thank you Damon!!! I need to wax the darn thing. I just finished my finals about 4 hours ago, so I've got a week and a half to do some work on it and get it looking in the best shape possible before school starts up again. I was actually pretty embarrassed that I brought it to the meet somewhat dirty. The meet was a nice break from studying for me this weekend.

P.S. Sure you're not confusing me with Matt again?
P.P.S. If you need a place to store your Starion for a couple weeks during the move, I'm sure my family could make some space in the driveway provided you leave a key. Matt and I could take it out to Adams

Thanks a ton DivenDriver (Glen is your name?). I'm awful with a camera and have no idea what I'm doing; clearly seen in contrast to RedBaron's professional pics, as well as our DSM buddy's.

Conquests are slowwwwwwww. I drag raced this Fiji Blue one the other day here in Rancho. I think the darn thing was turbo'd even, but my 109hp superbeast walked it. But in his defense I was running race gas and my Dell laptop controlling both my supercharger's and turbo's boost.


Casey - by drilling out some of the weight on your pulleys, will that affect the structural integrity and cause them to crack under high load?

I hope not.

nah, I tried to make sure I left enough meat between holes to give enough support. I also made sure there was meet above and below. all should be fine.
