Hey ed, thanks for the offer.
I may part it out though and pick up a early 70's datsun 240Z though....
I love my FC but the police attraction, smog, and all of the other parts I still need to get for it are becoming almost too much of a hassle for me.
I need something that I can reliably smash on everyother night that if did break, can almost certainly be fixed the next day rather then go " **** I broke another apex seal" or " i lost compression on this face here " and have to buy the same expensive gaskets all over again just because that one small peice inside the engine let go. Then only be able to order them from a select few places that carries the parts, which of course the one I need the majority of parts from is located in CA with me so sales tax + shipping rapes my wallet even more.
Where as if I blew a headgasket I could go out and buy just a headgasket and replace it that night and be good to go the next day. Thus being able to leave the engine in the car and not buy gaskets for every part of the engine.
Now of course I will never leave the rotary scene, hopefully in the next year or 2 I can pickup an FD or another FC and do a 3 rotor or something like that.
But for now I need simple and 90% hassle free that can still haul *** but not have to baby it half the time.
The FC3S and 240Z are my 2 dream car's, I got to have fun with one of them for a few years, now it's time to go and figure out and play with the other one

Yeah, i may just stay at our shop and just ditch toyota all together.
I was at the elk grove toyota the same day helping my grandparents pick out a newer car and they seemed to be the same way....
I admit that toyota is a great company and they make some really great long lasting cars but just don't seem to care about their shop techs...
No worries about saturday, just figured since i figured out a few issues with my car ( can now hit 10 PSI WOT and not overboost anymore, with it's leanest point being exactly 12.00 :1 a/f when it hits 10 PSI ) it would be nice to go for a fun run up there to get more used to the place before going on another run with alot of cars.
If you already have a car cover i'd bring it over, it's getting dusty and im not sure how well your interior is liking the direct sunlight and hot weather.
You going to have ben street port it or anything?
I may go to the BBQ as well on sunday if we aren't busy at the shop.
We just got our dentists Ferarri 308 back in our shop, basically because it's a POS haha. He told me months ago that his dipstick kept popping out when he drove it, I told him it could cause other problems as well but he didn't seem to care. He now has some major leaks going on and had it towed to the shop hahaha.

So has anyone figured out a good day/time yet?
Does everyone still want to do a run or just a regular wingstop meet?
( PS. Randy you have to come pick me up on the way
)
Also if anyone need's any parts from an S4 T2 let me know, im parting 80% of the car out. I've got a Part Out thread in the 2nd gen parts section.
