Yeah, the NG/VITA project is HUGE!!!

If you are a results driven person, working with them might get frustrating quickly. But if you can go home at night knowing you did the best you could, and are happy collecting their rather nice paychecks, you should be all set!

Best of luck!

I'm really interested in buying this. Is anyone able to help me go check it out?
I'm not sure what year this car is. This guy has it for sale and I don't know if I should buy it or not because I cant get to Virginia Beach to see it. Has anyone seen this car, or can anyone go see the car and tell me if it runs or if anything is wrong with it? =] Thanks for the help.

The interview went well and I got recommended for the job. Should know the results in a week or two. I'm just hoping for a decent salary. Having a NoVa salary REALLY spoiled me.

Uneven tire wear. Should I switch the fronts to the back??

I have Toyo Proxes 4's on my FD. The rear tires have ALOT less tread than the fronts (they look practically new). For best performance and safetly, should I switch the fronts to the back? Or should I just leave them be.

I know they should've be rotated, but I never noticed the uneven wear. They came with the car and I've only put about 10k on the car. The sidewalls are labeled Right and Left. So I assume that they can't be rotated normally.

Keep the good tires on the front Yoshi. Remember, you steer with those. Most of your braking is done with those as well.

And normal rotation is from front to back, no crossing.

agreed. keep the good tread up front yoshi. If you are worried about the tread being too low on the back, you could get two new tires for the front then put the old fronts to the back.

Testing has shown that the better tires should be on the back. Basically, under braking and turning, understeer is more desirable than oversteer, especially in wet conditions because if/when you release the throttle, rear grip is maintained...

I have posted new event details for the upcomming events. Please take a minute and check them out at:

http://rx7.meetup.com/55/

I decided to go ahead and schedule a simple cruise night at Bass Pro on the 17th, if anyone wanted to show up. If it is too cold we will go around the corner to Hooters.....

The following event is going to be on the Dec 1st, probably at the Bowling Alley, so as Matt says "Gentlemen, bring your *****!".
