uh huh

 

remember this is coming from a man who never beings his car to a meet so he had to bring the meet to his car

 

Im gonna try my hardest to get it going! need to fab a few things and get some oil lines going. But i guess will see on sat if it will. :]

 

bring that porting template down if you aren't using it.... ill see what i can do about getting a copy made

 

OK so we have 80% chance of rain sat... if anyone is gonna bail just let me know so we can postpone or w/e

if u all still wanna come out i got plenty of room for everyone inside tho, so just let me know either way.

 

Well, it would work out if you pushed it back a week or so... I can make it, just not with the 8, and it be cooler if we all had our cars. Id like to check out the rx7s.

 

you and IanS were the only ones who committed to show up so far so if he comes over to drop off a template i guess we can say its a meet lol

Ian: if its a squeeze for you man dont worry about it i think you might be the only one there lol

 

lol well i got one of the rx8 guys to tag along, but if not too many people gonna come out, we should just do a bigger meet at a park or something later on. Hopefully then everyone's car gonna be drivable or what not.

 

I myself won't be able to make it either. My girlfriend's nephew's birthday party is tomorrow and my friend and his wife are back from California and having their wedding reception tomorrow night so I'm booked. Also, I only have the Daihatsu running right now and don't like taking it on long trips (no radio in it yet).

 

yeah its safe to say at this point the meet is kinda off. If anyone doesnt read this in time and shows up we will find something to do.

 

ill need a couple of weeks till the 7 all fixed up, that diffs all ready to go, putin it in tmw

 

i want to go but you live pretty far away.
ill try to make it next time hopefully

 

alright sounds good, Ill dedicate all day to finishing my car. if i get it started around that time ill see if its drivable and ill stop by. Otherwise sometime next week you can check it out.

 

well, for the spring meet then, lets actually get the date solid at least a month in advance, and one that everyone agrees on. well get all the 7 and 8 guys to show up. maybe ill bring the FC and FD by then. hopefully everyone will have their cars running well enough (Ian buy a battery)
i would say late april early may, but remember, april showers bring may flowers. so lets say may to avoid the probable and very likely high chances of rain.
but, whatever the group decides, lets just decide early enough we can all make it.

 

Yea, we just need to get something set so that everyone can make it and need to figure out what date works for everyone instead of like 3 people. lol Hopefully by the time we have a meet I'll have a decent vehicle to bring instead of a beater. lol

 

I vote May 30, at my house. Actually, we can meet up either at my house or at the park here in Washington. Plenty of parking area and end of May should be a pretty good time as far as weather. That is Memorial Day weekend. May 30th is a Saturday. Also it would be really easy to find since its a smaller town. The park has pavillions and grills available if we would want to use them. There is no need to rent the pavillion and worse case scenario if the pavillions are taken on that day we can roll back to my house or just hang in the park and BS. Throwing out ideas here. I know Washington isnt "in the middle" for everyone.

Maq - 2 hours???
QC - 1.5 hours
CR - 1 hour
IC/CV/NLib - 30-45 min
NLond - 45 min


What do you guys think?

 

I took the day off to tear the 7 apart for paint yesterday. It goes in on Sunday. More pics to come.

 

Jesse

 

that would be good for me. i drive to Washington frequently for pretty much nothing hah

 

Nice Jesse. What color you going to paint it then?

I now live in Dubuque but forgot to update my thing. Washington is about a 2 hour trip for me, no big deal. I know by May I'll at least have the Civic to drive and the Daihatsu will be sold by then, so that would be better for me. Maybe even by then I'll have my Wrangler.

 

Oh man, on the 30th DMVR is having a club racing event at MAM. Ill most likely be there. So 30th dont work out for me. But i can let the other rx8 guys know.

 

LOL Just got caught up on this thread. I really don't understand why it's so difficult for us Iowans to set up an outing and make it work LOL Well, this latest one doesn't surprise me...I know I won't take my RX-7 out this time of year, but we even have trouble setting them up and getting people to show up later in the year!

Rich

 

So then would it be better to shoot for Saturday May 23? I know Rich's B-day is in there somewhere so he would probably have plans then. May 10th is Mothers day so we shouldnt have it on that weekend (its caused problems before with planning meets).

Jason - How far out do you know your weekend schedule?

I agree with Blade that we should set up a time/date far enough ahead so that its easy to ask for time off if need be. I know he works most weekends so he needs plenty of time advance notice.

Jsayers - You live in Fairfield right? You should hit me up on my cell next time you are gonna be in town if its a weekend. 319-461-0694


Edit: Jesse, I still want a ride in that beast of a car you have.

 

yeah i live in fairfield
my names James btw
ill probably be out there the next time the weathers nice
my number is (916) 475-8622

 

just as a note i scheduled the meet about one month out but i kept having to move it. I think form now on if someone cant make it for w/e reason that's their loss and no rescheduling.
