Hey Horse, any luck getting a pic of those seats?

You better get jumping on that TII. Slippery Sue won't be able to keep pace with me up to the mountains.

Oh yeah, forgot about the single turbo. Heh.
Oddly, I had a dream where Josh was showing off his now-running (in the dream, at least) FD to us all. And...the car was now purple. Surely, these are signs of the end times.

I checked on her today the kit is on glued and rivited. and now he is fixing any blemishishes he sees. Even If I can get it ready for TOTD I will still be breaking it in.

I just picked up my car from the painter today. It's looking niiiiiiiiiice. All the crappy little dings are gone. The moldings are still black but they have been repainted and don't look faded anymore. Right now I still need to get the new antenna mast in and bolt the spoiler back on and it should be ready.

You are going to be at the Drive-In this Saturday. We all need to see a rotary that has been in for work and is now out and running. I want to see another Jeff Brown painting.

Bert,
Steve and I won't make the drive-in this weekend. We're going to Myrtle Beach for the spring break gathering of 3000GT/Stealth International, and we're staying with our friend Will who has that black VR-4 that comes to the meets sometimes. We're taking Steve's Turbo II which is now back together pretty much, although it will be running stock boost b/c his ECU hasn't come in yet. You'll have to wait a couple weeks before you get to see everything.
It sounds like everyone is wrapping up their projects now. Rick finally got all the bolts replaced on his turbos, has the new injectors in, and is getting a new bumper put on right now. He should be ready to go to Rotorsports soon for tuning.

Well, I wen tot Rotorsports and picked everything up yesterday. Now I am just waiting on my injectors, downpipe, throttle body, and fuel rails. All this stuff was suppost to be finished except for the fuel rails but they were behind so they are going to ship it to me. But it is ok, I am just happy I got my Turbo in. OMG it is so BIG, that thing is huge I will load pics of it tonight, I can't wait to get it on this car is going to move! I have a friend who was interested in buying the seats for his wife Del Sol but I don't think they are going to buy them so I will talk to him tonight and if he doesn't want them I am going to put them on ebay tonight. I had some guy from Africa offer to buy my car last night, he saw my factory RX-8 exhaust on ebay, and for some reason he assumed the car was for sale and told me to give him a price, weird. I think Rotorsports is doing another batch of cryo treating this weekend, I know some people were interested, so you night want to give them a call if you are.

,or take it to Rotorsports Racing (near Charlotte) type guys. I'm sure the guys (and gal ! oops can't leave Perky out!) would love to see your car at one of the meets when you get it done.
