I think I might of post something on the 20B section... But that might of been awhile back. I don't have much plan for this car... Right now, I have another 20B that's broken down that I'm going to use 13B REW housing to build a spare engine for this one.. Should be ready sometime next year... hopefully..

Those of you considering FEED parts, Jonathan is one of 2-3 FEED distributor in USA. I highly recommend him!
Hope you could attend this year. Me and several of us are heading up on Thursday April 28th to chill and do some relaxing runs around town... mostly just sit back and chat about cars. So if you could join us then, that would be great. I'm going to try to bring the MB and the Cosmo. And if all goes well, my SSM.
Regarding 7 Stock, I'm considering.. My brother is in SD,CA and since I didn't get to go out there this year, we are planning to go next year... hopefully around the time of 7Stock.

Sounds great Gordon! I'm super excited to meet you in person and hang out.
DGRR 2011 registration should open on Monday and I'll update some of the info for 2011 tomorrow night. I suggest registering early and the lodge where the event happens will book up in a month or so. They are also going to run a special where if you book friday and saturday, they are going to throw in one night for free. NVNC is by far the nicest place around that area and great location to do other things than doing the dragon.
Regarding 20B... Are you planning to buy another motor? If so, I'm looking for someone to go in with on a front clip. I'm mainly wanting non-related to motor swap and just wanting few little interior stuff and the bumper and such for my cosmo. Its an "B" series motor and its in running order.
I'm also interested in what your next plan is

yeah.. I was able to lift the hatch using the wing but it was uncomfortable feeling. But with some reinforcement on the corners, I think it should be fine.
Yeah.. I need some help pulling the stock one off... as I can't do that myself. Stock hatch w/ glass plus the 99 wing is HEAVY!

Can't remember what brand the hatch was... I bought it like 6+ years ago.

I did it by myself about a year ago and man were my arms screaming after that little nightmare. Keeping that sucker balanced with one arm and trying to get a nut started with the other aint fun.

^^I hear ya.. I've swapped out the rear hatch several times so far... Let's see.. 2 x times on my MB FD because I went from bad tint job to better tint job and when I went to 99 rear wing. And 2 x on my black FD when I went from 93 to 99 wing and from 99 to CF hatch.
Definitely requires extra help.

Hey Phil, question for you: have you replaced any of your rear bushings on your cars and if so, what did you use? Mine need some freshening before DGRR and I am going with Gordon's advice to use MazdaSpeed ones unless there is something out there that is better.
I have read up on the poly/Delrin ones and it doesn't seem these are good options due to their hardness and squeaking. Would like your opinion on this.
