I am fairly new to the fd (january) and i missed the april meet and was wondering if anyone was interested in trying to put together another one soon. I would like to meet the areas rx owners and possibly get some tips on the fd and tuning knowledge so if anyone is interested PM or email me at jjlee1@olemiss.edu

 

i AM GAME!!! Set a time and a place and I will make my schedule open and available.

 

i figured we could meet at the lakefront on a sat or sunday and cruise to wherever from there to have like a bbq or sumthin if anyone has ideas let me know i am always down for anything when it comes to rx

rotors up ricers down

 

I can't stand the lakefront, but I'm down with a cruise/bbq. Josh (southernrunner) has said that he is down for a meet at his house, but he wants to get his car running first. Right now, he is on his way to Georgia to pick up his engine because the guy who built it is a jackass. He still has quite a bit of work to do to get it operable once he gets his engine in, though. He has a nice big driveway, though, and any additional parking can take place in my driveway.

Ted said that we are going to have a meet when Charley comes down. We don't know exactly when that will be yet, but it is supposedly going to be happening soon. Don't worry, Ted won't leave us out in the dark on a meet. Heh.

My car is running, but it badly needs a tuning, the A/C needs to be fixed, the title needs to be transferred, and I need to find a insurance company that won't take both an arm and a leg.


*EDIT* JOSH YOU CAN NEVER POST AGAIN! YOUR POST COUNT, AS OF NOW, IS 777. I REPEAT, NEVER POST AGAIN!

 

sounds good to me I actually am having problems with mine overheating at the moment and cant seem to figure out what it is. It starts fine and runs good but the temp continues to rise i have an fmic which is now blocking the radiator and one of my fans is not working could this be the prob or maybe something else.

 

WOOOHHOOO just got back from getting my engine and that thing is pretty!!!

 

OK guys. I know yall want to do a meet, so I got an idea. This will be sort of a meet for us/ make our presence known(7's on the shore club known)/ fun to trash talk each other. Here we go,

They have a AUTOX meet sceduled for June 24th at Zypher field as their return to New Orleans event.

They would like to make this a late-starting Saturday event, mainly for exposure purposes. The event to wrap up around 5-6pm, and take advantage of the extra daylight and traffic. First car out at around 11am or so. I am guessing registration will be about 8-10a.m.

Turnout should be 80-100 drivers with many spectators. Course should be short, smooth, and safe for novices.

I am going to go and give it a shot no matter what, but thought I could get some of you guys, IE the better drivers than me, to come out and represent our beautiful machines. It is a chance to have fun, talk some smack to each other, and **** around like normal. Hopefully ted will even bless us with his presence even though he is a trader. j/j

Anywho, let me know what you guys think about this.

Im there!! I have AutoX'd in a while!! Need to get the cobwebs out!

 

I pretty much have to go if I want to keep the MazdaComp membership open. I've never autocrossed a car before, and it has been at least 5 years since I've been on an autoross course in a kart. So, get ready to laugh at me! Haha.

Josh, are you asleep? I was thinking about coming over, but I figured that you were asleep, considering you just drove to Georgia and back without sleep.

 

^ Well, I have only autocrossed once, and it was not in my FD so we shall see how it goes. I am sure you will be better than my ***.

 

My FD isn't really set-up for tight autoX courses, but I will try to make it out there...and some pics for Tuesday's enjoyment.





I did get some poly sway bar mounts up front, and a bar that is worth more than a decoration in the rear...so it will be fun to find out when the rear likes to come around

 

It hasn't been bad since Katrina. The normal crowd of ricers and wannabe thugs hasn't been coming out on Sundays. They close Lake Shore Dr. at dark now.

people meet at Bonnabel boat launch...it's lame there though! But it is at least a meeting point for us if we want! They won't let u hang out at the Joe's part of the lake past shelter one or in the lot across from Joe's...The point is open but its kind of hard to get a bunch of us there!

 

hey dubulup you have the turboxs bov on a big turbo? any leaks? does it work ok? I've always heard those things leak like carzy but of course I found this out after I got my rfl and my t61.

 

no leaks, closed at idle, and vents as much boost as I can throw at it...I wish I could unscrew the "horn" and get a hose adaptor on there, other than that...no complaints

 

hum.........interesting. I guess I'll try it and if it doesn't work will go with a tial. I was just going to sell it first cause of all the bad stuff i've heard but hey looks like your running it ok. So what size turbo are you running?

 

60-1 compressor wheel, .70A/R compressor housing
P-trim turbine wheel in a 1.00A/R housing

 

not too shabby, I'm going to give it a go, thanks for the info man.

 

im definately down for an autocross ive done a few including anational and in regional races i have 2 firts place and a third 1st in ss with my fd and first in ss with a porsche 911 and third in my underpowered fd at the time

 

^ this has to be the most confusing sentence I have ever tried to read. Took me a while to get it. haha
