I always wondered how they got such massive equipment in to such small areas? I assume they assemble it on the spot, but when do they bring the parts/equipment in? At night? Hoping for some insight...

The stuff just shows up whenever it's needed. In places like NYC or N. Jersey you can only cross major bridges with oversize loads at night. It all just comes in a shitload of small peices.

When this thread was made, I was FD-less in the 9th grade. Now I am 21 and a senior in college. Had my RX7 for 4 years now and it has changed a lot since I first bought it, back in the summer between highschool and college.

I will be 60 in 5 days (St. Patrick's day). Rotary obsesson started with a '72 RX3 in 1973, then a '79 and '86 RX7. Right now I have an '88 vert and '04 black RX8. I was a lawyer, now just a bureaucrat, hopefully retire soon so I can work on the 'vert.
