so your telling me that he will pay for the paypal fee to refund me the money back? also its almost 8pm and it seems like 3rdgensleeper isnt responding and isnt serious about this. It doesnt look like I even need to waste my time sending him money, cause it looks like we need 5 people and we dont even make that mark. I pm'd steve too but he hasnt replied to me so I dont know whats going on with that. It doesnt seem like we are going to get steve to come up for aug. guess ur guys aug wasnt even gonna work. I thought some one had like non rx7 cars that wanted to too in aug also? what happened to that?
If you want to do it so bad pay the other deposit to get him here. Or see if others will help chip in to get him here. Its not that hard to figure out and no use crying about it.

send me the cheese and whine bro. you dont get what I am saying. I know I get my money back but I dont want to lose money from sending money back and forth from paypal fee's thats what I mean. Is he going to cover the paypal fee sending my money back to me? NO I dont think so. so I wont get my full 400 back. I will lose 40 bucks

Tuning List:
1. saiyan deposit paid
2. touturborx7 deposit paid
3. rx7-na deposit paid
4. fdfreak deposit paid
Hopefully we can get others to come onboard during July.
I'm expecting many others will show up at the event as spectators. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
Thanx,
Ken

Last time Kan was here he had to rent a vehicle and stay at a hotel. It was not a very good financial trip to MN. I e-mailed him and offered to drive him for that weekend. If he agrees then he'll save him on a car rental. I've been married for 43 years and my wife is not interested in people staying in our home.

I found out that MA Performance does not open the dyno till 11:00am.
I asked if it could be opened up earlier and they said "Unfortunately no.
Hopefully we will be able to get all the tuning done that day.
They don't usually work on Sunday.

Well to start out Steve owned Gotham Racing and I would love to make the drive up to get my car tuned. Wait a minute my car is in MN getting work done. I will be at the dyno day to check out all the cars and to hang out.

hell yeah get that thing broken in. If you dont have time Ill come and break in your rx7 for you and you can drive mine around. LOL. 4 days left guys make sure you go through your cars to make sure you wont run into problems at the dyno. Trust me from my experience Alot of delay time and later found out that my drive side motor mount was shot and PPF was cracked and both diff bushings were shot also and lost money on the dyno and stuff.

I need to install race plugs. I think I also might have an issue with my oil control rings. I am getting excessive blue smoke during idle. it goes away in the higher rpms so I am hoping that I will still be able to get it on the dyno. I am in the middle of having painted so the body parts are going to be half assed put together when i get down there but I can do get it done at a later time.

I drive home Friday, a nice 12 hour drive. It has been tough. 4 days after I finished getting the car going I was sent to Detroit. I haven't even run under boost yet. If things go well I'll atleast drive it down. I need to start packing for CA , I leave later next week.

The old Northstars Rotary local club bought a rotary compression tester.
Does anyone know who has it? I have a fellow from Ohio that is very interested in my car and will be making up his mind in the next 4 weeks and needs a compression test of my motor.
Thanx,
