I'm off from the 22nd to the 3rd, and I wanted to see if anyone was interested in hanging out on either the evenin of the 22nd or 23rd, I'm open to suggestions, The Richmond Arms pub is pretty central, has good parking, food and beer.

Let me know what you guys think, we should take advantage of the great weather while we have it.

I might be able to break away, but it will be tough, we have family that will be in town, and we close on our house on the 29th, which means I have a lot to do in a short period of time.

Keith, if I can make it you are welcome to ride a long with me, not sure if Brannen will want to go, I guess somebody could squeeze into the back seat.

pics sound like a good idea, we can certainly wrap that into it. How'd you end up with one 16inch wheel? are the stock fc's 15 or 16?

Im having some alignment problems and the normal wheel had a blow out....(im waiting for the new azeni's to fill my christmas stocking.

I just happend to have several rubber shod 16 inch wheels in stockat home and since I make an average round trip of 3 miles per day figured I could wait a month or two.

-- stock FCs use 14, 15 and 16 inch wheels.

base models - 14s (4 lug)
GXL, GTU and Convertibles got 15s
GTUs and Turbo IIs got 16s

(I skipped other minor model deviations, but that's most of it)
(the convertible BBS wheels are super light too, but I guess that's a good things since the 'vertible is so heavy!)

Eugene, you're a myth and don't really exist! :D

I'm always around. I'm not bringing the RX out though until the new ecu is done. Can I bum a ride if there is a cruise?

2nd gen is now in rotary heaven. Current car is a Streetported '84 GSL-SE with S5 n/a intake manifold, direct fire, intake, exhaust, Megasquirt ecu, etc... The streetported 4 port T-II motor is waiting to get revised before it gets transplanted later next year. Big radical plans for it.

So whats everyone thinking? I liked the picture idea. we could meet on Wedsday around 4pm at the Texasdelphia on Memorial, head downtown for pictures, come back, then head over to Richmond Arms on Richmond and Fountainview for drinks and dinner?

hmm, good point. How about Tuesday or Wedsday evening? I figure this weekend, everyone will be busy with Xmas stuff this weekend. Did Tracer want to take day or night pics?

His camera can make nighttime look like daytime.. so i doubt it will matter to much :D

At this point, it's really up to him.. since afterall he is the cameraman!

(That is unless I get my Minolta A1 or A2 for christmas!)

I won't be able to make it until after the first of the year. I have to be out of my house by the 31st, and there are some repairs that have to be done as well as the moving part.
