Well, you guys keep in mind if you don't want to use Rotary Evolution, I have access to a race shop, and have permission to do pretty much anything i want. (barring something that will take a long time IN the shop, when he's busy). So if you need something done, let me know, I'll get a price quote for you. (My buddy does mostly mustangs, but also has the world's second fastest harley truck, haha, but he isn't NEW to rotaries, either, he sold me my first one many years ago).

As you may or may not be aware, Seven Stock 14 is in limbo right now. Mazda does not seem to be supporting the event.

There is a move afoot to still have a Seven Stock but we all need to support it. There are Tee shirts available from last year as well as license plate holders.

I am going to make a small cash donation to the fund and figured I would ask if anyone else would care to join me. Just PM me if you wish to.

SEVENSTOCK Needs Your Support!

Sin City Rotary and Las Vegas 8 are going to offer to donate two rooms for the weekend of WHiV5 to the effort to finance Seven Stock 14. Seven Stock organizers can do with the two rooms as they wish but raffleing them off might bring in some needed cash. We are also offering them a bunch of WHiV4 Tee shirts to send along with their SS13 stuff to give the buyer something extra for their $.

My passengers side broke the other day as well....blah this heat is killer. I found a DIY thread that goes over how to "fix" it so ill see how that goes before looking to replace.

Those things break all the time. You can find them on eBay sometimes pretty cheap. $40 off of eBay is a hell of a lot better than $130 from Mazda.

Mike - I've had to fix my passenger one a few times, And right now it'll be hopefully the last. I know what i needed to do and didn't. You want to bring me the drivers side visor and I'll glue it up for you? (i have all the stuff i need at work, lol)

No they are not better. I had my drivers side sun visor replaced under warranty at 29k miles, it had cracked at the seam.

Here's the deal with fixing, its probably temporary. I've fixed my passenger side a few times (trying to find a good glue, but i believe i have a good one now). So, if anything you can at least have it look like it works until you get a new one (and, i dont charge, so....there's nothing to lose, really, lol).

The biggest problem with mine is i removed the black piece and then lost it, so it doesnt "snap" back up properly. But i learned my lesson. lol
