With all these FC motors being built and torn apart and rebuilt, does anyone have a spare coolant filler neck? I'd like one like this, preferably for cheap:
^^ I need the small black part that the pressure cap screws onto.

Also, I saw a post on our old thread by mdpalmer: it'll be nice to see another FD in February, I hope you can make it.

I couldn't pass up that deal...I got a bunch of irons and a complete engine, with one blown rotor, on the side with this car. So all I need is a rebuild kit and some effort, and I can either track the car or make some money off of it.

RX4? Going old school eh? Where'd you get that?

BTW, I'm hitting Willow Springs up this Saturday. Not sure if you even have a desire to go, but I thought at least I'd let you know in the slight chance you'd be interested to check it out.

You ever get that RX4?

Dude, I swear, when it rains, it pours...and for me its pouring cars. Kevin's best friend decides he doesn't want his nicely-done SR20-powered 240. Looks like Kevin's, minus the big dent in the driver side door. Engine runs cleaner than Kevin's too. Only thing is, he never removed the hood insulation after the swap, and the turbo burned it, which also melted the ignitor and CAS. Despite the minor damage, I'm buying the car off of him for $2500...that's $2000 cheaper than buying just the SR20 swap! OMGWTFBBQ! And he's throwing in another banged-up 240 with a stock KA24E for free, as a parts car. This is looking to be a good year...

And as for the CAS and ignitor, I'll steal Miguel's ignitor, cause with the Haltech we just installed with LS1 coils, he won't be needing it any more. I'll just need to find a CAS and I'll have another fun project.
