Correct me if i am wrong but some determing factors of the price of innsurance is the number of doors and seats and also the turbo...so whats up with the IS300 and the Jag XJ. Sine they dont have either one of those?

PS i might be out on Saturday if i get my stuff done in time, is it a pratice or full on event?

xrider01

i'm sure the price of the car also matters.

how much do you guys pay for insurance? i was paying $165/mo before my crash, and $167/mo. afterwards, lol

OK here are the wheels i like the silver lip becasue it makes the car look a little lighter and the wheels pop more but the rip lip looks just sick. What do you guys think of the tail lights, i have a black and a hwite some where as well.

xrider01

hehehe.......i wish. but i think i'd rather enjoy not having any more bills than i need to right now. i've been working again since early june, and i'm just barely now getting back on track w/all my finances......lemme tell you that not working for 5 months really blows chunks .

@ casey, we still gotta meet up somewhere so i can give you your box of gloves . tomorrow sound good? maybe like around 2pm or so?

vipers

^^^^ the blue one has my exact wheels, but in gunmetal..... looks sweet! i think smoked out taillights look great

FastRX8

Already did. Thanks for lookin out.

KrazieKave

does that mean that you get that spot on the hill again?

even though we are meeting at hq and not rnd?

kwescott

Loren, those Volks are pricey....but gorgeous. Of course I think either one would be beautiful. As for blacked out lights....I'm not into them.

The Buddy Clubs I posted are reasonably priced.....got to get you to Vegas and the Keno games

FastRX8

That'd be funny. I get there real early, park and the hill, and find out I'm at the wrong facility.

kwescott

should be a big group for the autocross today if anyone is interested in coming down to watch. We can't have passengers, but you can still stay in the grid and see how we do. We are racing after lunch....probably around 1:00...maybe earlier. Casey, Mischelle, Erica and I will be down there to do the couurse walk, register at lunch. (11:30-11:45).

we are at the Fontana Speedway.

Razz: Was that bottom bolt as big of a Pain in the *** as most people describe it?

FastRX8

(I know I'm not Razz, just buttin in )
It's only a pain w/ the wrong tools. I have a flexible extention. Piece of Cake. I've removed it about 6 times on 4 different vehicles.

kwescott

MP5 pulled out a win over both Isleys. I was able to get ahead of Speeddemon and Jennifer Isley for third in the RX8 cup, as well as a first place win in BSP. My first, 1st place trophy. I think I'll have a party with cake and icecream. First course, magical blue cake ....yum, yum, yum....hey, why is my poop green .

Here's some pics of my "time attack" Enkeis.

vipers

here you go casey... the owner of the vert 1st gen responded... heres what he pm'd me

The vin FB was only used in the USA. Everywhere else in the world continued using the SA22 designation when the US switched to the 17 digit vin system in 1981. Outside the USA the models were generally called SA series 1[SA], series 2[FB 82-3] and series 3[FB 84-85]. Thus, all the Gen 1s with the 12AT, about 800 cars, were Japanese SA 22 84 and 85 models [optional engine on the GT, GT-X and SE-Ltd, and all cars of the special run Ltd Version].

Mazda Australia hand built six 85 model RX-7 convertibles. It was a special run authorised by the road traffic authority of up to 20 per year. Mazda Japan were unhappy so no more were built as the FC convertible was in the design stage. The roof was cut off with a Mazda 626 trunk lid used to fill the gap. Two steel U channels were bolted/welded underneath, plus extra steel work around the firewall and rear wheel arches to give rigidity. The engine installed in the first five off the line was the 115hp 12A 6p, however mine got the 12AT 145hp since upgraded to 220rwhp[about 250hp].












so she is an authentic vert 1st gen....

vipers

oh.... and as for the progress on my fc lets just say that the motor has been pulled back out of my car my high hopes of deadline completion are deminishing

Keith: CONGRATS on the first place!!!! Wheres the picture of the trophy??? haha.


Vipers: what happened???

speeddemon32

Vipers, Hmm... cool... but did I miss it, or did he not say that it was a U.S. vert Turbo??? sounds to me like it was an Ausi car.


Vipers is having problems getting the clutch to engage. he pulled the engine back out to take a look. I think its going to have something to do with the flywheel. either theat or the throw out bearing.

kwescott

he did put on a new throw out bearing when we mated up the transmission and engine. I recalled him having problems with the fork upon first mating....I think it slipped off or something. He seemed to fix the problem upon putting it together on the second attempt. Could this be the problem?
