Mark your calendars. Pineapple Racing is hosting a Swap Meet and Barbeque on Sunday, September 17th, 2006. This is at our shop, located at 12838 NE Airport Way, in Portland. There is a map on our web site. Our front door faces Airport Way. We don't have a big sign or anything, but look for us next to Gasket Specialties. This is the South side of the street, directly across from Horsepower Freaks.

Bring you excess car parts, if you have any, or just come to find some bargains. Tables, chairs and perhaps even EZ Up tents are a good idea, depending on the weather. We will provide food, water and soft drinks.

Pineapple Racing will have quite a collection of engine and other parts available at clearance pricing. We have a lot of junk other people might like to have. Some is okay to use while some stuff is more fit for a display. Not only do we have several pallets of used rotor housings (many pretty trashed, but a few gems too), but also things like an old MoTeC EFI system, a couple IDA-style throttle bodies, Rotary-to-VW Transaxle adaptor, some used and new engines (rotary and piston), old PC laptops with tuning software installed, yadda yadda.

All we ask is that you behave appropriately (e.g. no burnouts in the parking lot, etc.) and have a good time.

 

Have an extra ported S4 T motor laying around? Oh yeah...and Farris proof?

 

Actually, we have a Series 5 Turbo II block. 3mm 2-piece factory apex seals. Ceramic-coated rotors. Large Street Port. Stage III oil mods. Heavy Duty Water Seals. Pineapple Racing Aluminum Oil Pan. Racing Beat competition oil pressure regulator. New Rotor Housings, of course. 5 year warrantee on materials and workmanship. It is assembled and ready to go.

Ferris proof? NO!!! And please don't come to the swap meet...the lightning bolt trying to hit you might miss and hit me! Seriously, just get the motor pulled so we can look inside, fix the damage and get you back on the track. I am curious whether it pinged or inhailed something.

 

I got some good stuff if Spyder doesn't decide to buy it. All FD Parts by the way.

Farris got a shyte load of FC parts he doesn't need, you might want him to come Blake. Just don't ground yourself to anything and wear extra thick rubber shoes, hehe.

 

I actually just picked up turboJeff's old stock of FD parts and will be bringing them to the meet. I've got nuts, bolts, interior/exterior trim, piping, clamps, hoses, a door, door glass, motors, calipers, brackets, braces, solenoids, yada yada yada. A whole u-haul worth.

I'm going to go through it all and post some inventory later.

Regards,
Justin Wade

 

Now for the burning question: how much? Maybe if I buy the motor tomorrow I could could have my car running by the time this meet is supposed to happen!!!!!

 

Well, this is hard to answer. The customer basically can't or won't pay (he was in an accident apparently, but we don't have a verifiable story) so we are trying to get rid of it for him. The cost of the rebuild, including all the extras, was $4,500. If he can't pay, thus "abandoning it", we would probably sell it for what we have into it, or whatever we decide the market can bear. If you are interested, call Rob at (503) 233-3878.

 

At the RPNW.ORG meeting last night someone asked me when the swap meet starts. I suggested 10am, but you can come anytime after that since it will last all day. Someone else asked if they could bring their own stuff to sell...um, yeah, it's a SWAP MEET; not a sale. Bring anything rotary-related you want to sell or trade (within reason). There should be a lot of good stuff.

 

how late is it going to last, i am serving beer at oktoberfest til 3pm, but i really want to come

 

I don't know when it will end. I really don't want to spend more than 8 hours at the shop on a weekend, since I already spend countless hours here during the week. But, if enough people stick around and use their time productively (not just hanging out, but actually buying, selling and trading), then who knows how long we will be here. Probably no later than 6pm, but that's just a guess.

 

It will end when Blake sings.

Hahahahaha...

 

And Tap Dance at the same time!!!!!!

 

Are you calling me a fat lady, Mike? That's not nice. I didn't say anything about Dwarf tossing!

 

The following list are some of what I will have available at the swap meet:

• Complete GSL-SE suspension/brakes
• GSL-SE Gas Tank
• GSL-SE wheels with tires
• 1st gen (4x110) "plus" wheels
• 79-80 (4x110) "waffle" wheels with old R-compound tires
• Kennedy Engineering rotary-to-VW transaxle adaptor kit
• MOTEC fuel injection computer with hand controller
• Series 4 NA, rebuild with used FD rotor housings, GSL-SE front cover & oil pan, zero miles.
• S4 Turbo, exhaust manifold, intake manifold
• Megasquirt EFI computer, stimulator, programmer
• S4 upper intake with ported throttlebody, adapted to GM-style TPS
• RX-8/Mazda 6 steering wheel w/o airbag
• IDA-style 50mm throttle body
• IDA-style 6-port intake manifold
• IDF-style TWM 4-injector throttle body and intake manifold for early 4-port 13B

...and a whole lot more! These are just the things that come to mind. If you have items you plan to bring, please list them here so people can get an idea of what cool stuff they can find and how much $$$ they should bring.

 

To bad I will not be able to go this year maybe next year. All you guys have fun!

 

If anyone here is also on the Nopistons forum, please post a notice of the event over there too. This is open to all rotary owners; not just members of this forum.

 

I'm gonna be there for sure. I'm gonna bring a dellorto carb for a stock ported 12a and a 1st gen rear spoiler both for sale if anyone's interested.

 

i need a boost sensor N318 (i know, i put it in the wanted section too) if anyone has it, and needs something, let me know

 

i would like to go it just depends on work for the most part i just want to hang around and get alot of info on rotarys. i am really new to a nonpiston engine. aslo i have things i need for my car like an AC and maybe a new heater (plus a turbo that would be cool)

 

The weather forecast for Sunday looks good. High 60s/low 70s, overcast, but apparently dry at last report.

For those of you who have not been to our shop, here are the directions: We are mid-way between NE 122nd and 138th on the south-side of Airport Way, next to a business called Gasket Specialties (look for the sign) and directly across the street from Horsepower Freaks. Our building faces Airport way. The swap meet will be held on the back-side of the building, where we have a surface roll-up door and lots of room.

 

Here is a map of where we are located, relative to I-5, I-84, etc. I also drew on there the area in which we are planning to set-up.

 

I should have one of them tomorrow.

 

Scratch that, its sitting in storage in corvallis and I'm sitting in portland. Sorry!

I've got cash for a good 3 inch SS exhaust, FMIC for a s4 t2 and I'm looking for a FD. Someone bring them!

 

any one interested in a turboed n/a? could bring it

 

Just a final reminder that we are asking everyone to behave responsibly inside our business complex...that means no burnouts, loud stereos, etc. While many of the other businesses will be closed, some may need access to their loading docks or parking for their employees and customers. If you park somewhere that is not obviously okay, please leave a note on your dash with your cell phone number so they can call if there is a problem. We don't want to **** off our neighbors.

I have NO idea how many people are coming. It may be a handfull or it could be half the rotor-heads in the northwest. Hopefully, just enough to make it interesting but not so many that it becomes a headache. Feel free to show up as early as 10am, but I figure things won't really get rolling until 11 o'clock or even noon. The weather is supposed to get nicer as the day progresses.
