it's a sign of disrespect towards your private property - you don't cut across someones property without permission thats called trespassing
It's a bigger deal for her than me, as long as none of our cars are in the driveway
Diane is due the 25th of this month
and the Aerocatch latches are 90% - I need to redo 2 of the fastner nut and bolt adjust the bumpstops on the hood to level it perfectly but the hood closes and latches like it should
pics will be up when I get home and can post them

I guess I could understand that, I was kind of thinking that because the driveway is basically one big slab, it was like a joint thing... I dunno... I've never seen anything like that before so it's hard to wrap my head around... Lol...

for one theirs is actualy paved and sits a little higher than ours
also they mostly have large SUV type vehicles
3 or 4 of the, it's hard to tell as the number of people staying there changes
it's at least one family andsometimes two I think or all their cousins or something
they're also Mexican - not the slacker type, but the busting their *** doing contractor with work kind
their kids are real nice and polite
and it's only the driveway nonsense thats an issue

or are there tiny bubbles of doom - ie coolant seal, rx-7 fog machine
Saavedro can attest to what a cloud maker they can be, hahahahahaha
have you replaced the radiator cap? - turns out thats what was the issue for my current FC, the original koyo rad cap was a pos, after that no more coolant
*Shudders* Glad those days are over...

Actually, coolant was getting out from the radiator cap so I put a different one on there, and its running coolER but still not back to normal.
What does it mean if the coolant is brownish?
I'm thinking about parting it out... would anyone be interested in the car with a 6 puck ACT clutch, greddy exhaust, new bushings all around, dtss eliminators, and other crap for $600? The car isn't starting unless I pop the clutch when its rolling and then its fine, minus the overheating issue.

Sorry your car bit the big one bro... I'd say parting it out would be your best option right now. I've got a million and a half stock parts if you need 'em for whatever reason.
Outta curiosity, how much would you be looking to get for the wheels?
Edit: NVM, Just found the thread. Are you going to be parting the exhaust system or will that stay with the car?

Hey guys, I am located in Richmond and i am looking for someone here in the city that can do a 13b rebuild. Its a N/A s4 motor and i was also intending to get a street port. PM me if you know anyone. Thanks! Tom

Well, he and I agreed on the terms that I would pull the engine out myself. I need to buy the rebuild kit myself though.
I'm not sure he'd pull it out for you unless you take it to his garage. I'm sure that he would get a lot of business though if he actually started this as a business.
There's a great group buy on rebuild kits by Atkins Dan on the R0t@ry c@r club forum just replace the @ with a's and the 0 with an o. It's 10% off. Great Deal if you ask me.

I'd wouldn't mind doing rebuilds at the shop, but the boss man would never get behind it. Too much liability... and he doesn't even know that people neglect these cars and regularly tune them to their breaking point. The dirtiest we get with that stuff is engine replacement.
On the other hand, I'd like to keep rotaries as a hobby. Boingers for cash, wankels for fun.
