I gave my 2 cents and like I said I'll leave it at that. I would hope a "consumer" would do more homework then just what one person says

The meet will be at the usual spot, In and Out on West Sahara at 8pm. @9pm SHARP we will depart for Boulder Dam. There is a possibility of continuing on to Willow Beach (twisties) but for those that have limited time , the trip to the dam will be our primary objective.

I would advise that you have a full tank of fuel at the start.

Somebody call Mythbusters and do a special on premix
Premix only works if every thing else is OK and you don't overheat it. Mazda only oiled the outer points on the seal and starved the rest. If you don't change your oil properly and let your car overheat then you will experience problems. If you don't think premix helps than quit doing it.

Well guys and gals I stand corrected and retract my previous post. Over the weekend I meet 4 kool guys that showed me a few new tricks and helped me out with my 8, and they made me feel like I was back at home with my old FC3s crew working on our cars in the garage. So once again I stand corrected and look forward to meeting all the other rotary fans here in las vegas.

Well, that hypocrisy didn't take long to evidence itself.

Great meeting you.....we do the garage meet quite a lot but mainly when someone is having a problem, keep an eye on this forum as we will post when open.

You should start going to the weekly SCR meets. A lot of Kool peeps there also. If not before, we will see you on the 20th for the Dam cruse.

Good meeting you too Gr8. Hope to have you at more meets soon. Like Phil said, try to hit up the SCR meets on Thursday and meet Ray.

Those of you that may have things coming to you from me, by shipping, will have to wait until I get back from a short vacation. I will be gone from 8/11 thru 8/15. If any items come in before the 11th I will try and notify you.

We will try to make it for the dam tour but it will depend on Ryan's work schedule.

While I would be the last one to stifle free speech could I suggest that all use the quote feature so we know who is commenting on what and use the "smiles" feature if your intend your post to be in fun.

Some members have "thin skins" and take exception to arguments on the forum. I respect everyone's right to voice their opinions but wish to make sure who is being disagreed with.

I would ask new members to not get their feelings hurt because of a few that seem to have a problem with each other. These petty arguments have driven off some good members (even though they were not involved).

End of rant.

See all the locals on August 20th for the meet / cruse.

I'll let Ray or Erick answer that one but from what I understand it can mean bad coils, wires and / or spark plugs also. You have a set of coils that I don't have much faith in so I would tend to think I would start there. I also know that your compression was low the last time we checked so it gets interesting.

You know I forgot the cylinders, bad on me .

Erick is still in town but he has his girl to keep him occupied. CHR is busy making things but we will get one of them to speculate or offer another opinion.
