So what is everyone up to tomorrow evening? Dinner and Drinks Tmac?
Hopefully dropping two wheels off at Eurowise tomorrow beforehand to get repaired. Having to air up my tires 6-10psi each morning is starting to get old. I have been doing it for a little more than a month now.

You told me the last time we met up that wasn't the issue why you didn't come anymore. I sense a lie.
I like my 3 day weekend though. It is nice for traveling.

Well if any of you want to join me I will be at TMac as soon as I get done at Euro-Wise. I am leaving work at 4:30 and heading straight there to drop off the wheels and then heading over to TMac. Hope to be there by 5:30 but that is probably pretty wishful thinking.

I was merely stating my opinion of your job's affect on start time; my comment had nothing to do with my not coming today. My reason for not coming much anymore (not that we meet much anymore) is the same: I don't like TM. The last two times we got together was at TM . But since you seem to be fishing...primarily, I just don't feel like going back out again today; second, the location is TM.

I am only going to TM this month because the brewery is one of my favorites Brooklyn. I now only go when they have a brewery or glass I really like and otherwise I like to go other places too.

Picked up the new project car today. So excited to dump all my money into another rotary car. At least this one will be boosted.
Oh Jason, you might be pleased. I decided against the swap and I'm just gonna build the FC. After really looking at the cars the FC's body lines are so much smoother then the FB's.

I think I'm gonna go with the RE-Amemiya style kit with TE-37's still. Such a sexy kit. Oh, and this car will stay true to its nature and stay with a rotary power plant.
Like this, but I want to paint it white or the same color as the TL with the bottom of the lip painted black.

Either way , im sure it will be badass ! But i agree , a LS1 would be badass and Probally a bit more reliable than the rotary . A buddy of mine had a 93 Rx-7 and that thing gave him nothing but issues !

A rotary is as reliable as the person that owns it. No doubt the LS1 would be more reliable but it also messes up the near perfect 50/50 weight distribution the RX7 is so famous for. Any non turbo version I would have thought about swapping but not a 13B-T.
If I did a piston motor swap into a RX7 I think I would rather go this route:
4.3L Chevy Vortec V-6. About 335hp and 350 ft/lb of torque and it keeps the car at almost the perfect 50/50 balance. Not to mention this same motor is the basis of the Typhoon and Cyclone. Could always Turbo it too.

That would be pretty sick to see . You could turbo or super charge it and still be a blast to drive . Like i said , either route you go it'll be badass

College street uptown and several other side streets have been adorned with LED street lamps, casting a glorious shade of pure white illumination on the road and sidewalks.
I learned this last night taking a pre import alliance cruise through town last night on the way to the music factory.
As i drove down the road in pure awe, i began to fantasize about the armies of convoys converging uptown next weekend. I began to think about the sounds that will be heard. The sights that will be bestowed upon our eyes. The fantasy of hundreds of thousands of veetaks roaming through uptown filled my mind with copious grams of excitment. I burst out loud with this new discovery of LED street lamps that have recently been installed, and came as a complete surprise to me last night.
Import Alliance.
Charlotte, North Carolina.
It's coming.
