Sundays are the best for me as well. Last time we were at Wilmington we met at the Riverfront. There were a few RX7s as well. We had lunch at then Iron Hill Brewery and the went for go-carting.

Hey I am tied up going down to SC and Fla, the next couple of weeks, but any chance we can get together the weekend of (Aug 23-24) or the week or weekend of Labor Day (Aug. 25-31).
I had fuel pump issues (overheating and shutting off on long drives, common when the stock pump gets old. and in high g left hand turns) . So I got a new DW200 pump from BHR and had Jim of JPR Imports do the install and cleaning of all filters and modification of the pop-off cap. He does great work ! Car runs great now, so looking to get back together with you all. Wilmington was great , and i don't mind going back there again and taking the photos again, I just won't be available before Aug 23rd. If the weather stays good ,we certainly can go into the fall for some meets too.

I have a facebook friend of mine with a rotary compression tester he just purchased and is looking for people to test it out on. He charges $40 per car. You would get a data sheet the same as you would from a dealer, each rotor face number + RPM speed to determine your engines compression. Anyone interested? He would like to do it early October. Think we can get a meet together and get a few cars done?

Are we still on for 9/21 ? Or is it better to wait until Oct. and have a meet with greater participation and the compression tester guy ? Any suggestions !

We had a previous meet in Delaware (off route 202 I think) and one of our members had access to a car shop garage with lifts and power tools. I apologize that I forget the member's name, but that was an ideal location. It was even near some good food choices. I think we went out for Mexican food, very good. Come on folks put on your memory caps here and help me out.

calling Stinksause. Please respond guy. you will remember the member's car shop we went to in Del. You did work on your RX8 there. This would be the perfect place to hold this meet with the compression tester guy. Oct 12 works for me. This location is really close to Philly, really suburban Delaware, so no long ride for either Philly or South Jersey or Del folks, or even MD folks.

I can limp my car out to DE in october, I think. It stalls at idle, but I can maybe hump it out there. Especially for a compression test, since that's one possibility.
I have a hydraulic jack and some stands and chocks, if need be.
