If you find one for sale let me know. I'm selling the Corvette and looking for an S5 to be my newest toy (for 1/50th the cost). If I get one you can test MS on it, I'd be happy to have it run better and get more MPG as well

S5 TII isn't far behind.

Matt volunteered, he's got a pretty stock S5 vert, with a RB dual exhaust and a ported intake. . . He lives in Baltimore.

What is the best place to call to come pick up my rx7 shell? Has no interior, no engine or drivetrain, and alot of the exterior parts are gone. But it does roll and have a clear tittle and it was a 10th ae and has rear damage. If anyone wants it after i get the interior out you can pick it up free. I will have pics up soon and it will be ready hopefully by the end of this month.

So, when do we want to do the next Fudds meet? I'm a bit anxious to do that now that the GXL is running pretty nicely again. Suds and Sean came for a ride in it on Saturday, and there were a few (tunable) problems, but nothing major.

Are you selling the carpet by any chance? How many exterior parts are stripped? I'm interested.

You need to paint a viper silhouette on the rear bumper

Hey my first RX7 had the stock rotary in it...... until it lost a rotor within about 5 minutes of me driving it. Not my fault!! I CAN tell you the first thing I'll be doing if I find a car I like is having megasquirt put on it and letting jason do whatever needs to be done to make it reliable

You don't happen to know anyone with a load-holding dyno do you? Maybe a Mustang dyno? We could REALLY make that rotary drive nice if we have one of those.

Even without a nice load-holding dyno, we can make the engine run pretty nice with street tuning.

Good for me except from 4 to 8PM. Got family dinners w/moms on Sats. She's 83 and still likes to cook for the family. If we do early, is 11 to 1130 too early for you late fri nite partiers? I know a place callled Chef Theos that has a breakfast buffet - its great. I'm not sure where everyone travels from but its half way between rockville and Columbia @ White Oak shopping center (rt.29 and 650). For about 10 people you could just walk in, anymore we'd probably have to set it up more formally. They got made to order eggs, grits, biscuits, chipped beef, fresh fruit, french toast, real home fries, pancakes, bacon and sausage that looks more like bratwurst than the crap IHOP gives you. Takes me about an hour to eat and I won't eat again til late nite... But its up to you guys... (oh it costs about 8.50 + drink). plenty of parking if you park in front of the Sears

I'm pretty sure Performance Specialties in Glen Burnie uses a Mustang Dyno. My car's never been on it, JPC has a Dyno Dynamics.

I'm not looking for the fastest S5 out there, but since I don't work on rotaries myself I'd want to have you mad scientists to hook me up with a tune that'll make it run safe and well (something mazda forgot to do with a lot of these cars )

Don't forget I still have to find a car. I need one in decent shape, I'm used to the Corvette so I'm not ready to go back to something missing half the interior and rusting away just yet

Dude we meet at Fuddrucker's in Columbia. Trust me, there is no reason to suggest different places to eat, it's been done before and the only place we can get the group to show up at is Fudd's

I got a fridge for free, but it's too noisy for me. And it needs a new fitting if you want to use the auto ice maker. If you want it, its yours for free.

I have an 86 coupe which is being parted out. My 88 vert engine has some life left in it yet, but it smokes pretty bad and has over 180K miles on it. So I'm thinking to get the engine from the coupe rebuilt and swap them out (minimizing down time!).
