damn thats looks fun, if I knew how to ride them I'd probably have a bike. I'd be pissed though because my car would feel really slow after riding a bike around for a few days.

CruisinCO · 07-17-2007, 07:04 PM

WY is part of the PNW? Wow wouldn't have guessed that, cool. Well Im new to the board, and Im going to be visiting Portland in August. Ill be moving out there in a year, assuming I like it and I think I will. This is a just cool idea, and I wish there was something like it in Colorado.

Ill try and stop by your shop when Im out there just to check it out.

Late
John

What happened to Jasons car?

Nice bike dude! First bike? Keep the shiney side up!

d962r · 07-18-2007, 11:24 PM

hey Paul, how is your car running? you going to Medford this year?
I still need to make resrvations the hotel.
with any luck I will be able to take my car! I have the head lights instaled and I'm working on some last min body work so i can get it in primer before I leave.

goose2580 · 07-18-2007, 11:51 PM

no not first this one makes number 7 but it is my first brand new one.

stopped by the shop last night and all i can say is WOW!! Zai is going off on getting work done on tink. killer...........

Seth W · 07-19-2007, 02:27 AM

chances are I'll be helping jason put the motor back in both days off for me but I'll try and swing on by the shop.

chais up my butt about the 240 but their is nothing I can do about it with the shop being full and only having 2 days free to work on it. maybe after the meet we can figure something out.

Jasons original motor was assembled really shitty from the factory when we got it, it was out of balance and had a bad lump to it when we dialed it up to 10 lbs of boost. I guess it was only at 5 lbs when we broke it in so it wasnt noticeable at the time.I think it made about 320 to the wheels. it turns out the the guy helping us with the swap knows of us as well, I guess he's a buddy of dustin and has came by a few times before. anyways he really knows his shit about rx7's so thats always nice.

I havent registered but I guess I should....I got the time off but have to be back monday for work

I dont know if jason is going or not so it's too soon for me to say if I'll be sharing a room with him or you guys. Right now my cars out of comission until I find a shifter cable for it, brads making me a set of headers so hopefully 4th time will be the last time. I'd REALLY like to have all my stuff done mefore the meet but it's going to be cutting it close. with the header, exhaust and sc..I'll probably have to do the injectors as well

Pentaxis · 07-20-2007, 07:24 PM

I unfortunately won't be able to make it to Medford this year. My motor is pulled and the head is getting some work done this coming week. Apparently both exhaust valves in #4 cylinder aren't sealing most likely due to poor machine work. Major bummer to have to pay grips of cash to fix mistakes.

Someday I will actually get to put some power out of this thing. 12-14k later.... heh.

goose2580 · 07-21-2007, 02:00 AM

well i now have the front bumper and side skirts on. still a little tuch up work to do before i paint but im really happy with the job that josh and his boss did on my car.check them out in hubbard or their web site ishttp://modern-motion.com/will be posting pics soon.......

well ive decided not to pull my trany before medford just dont have the time or the $$ so im going to cross my fingers and hope for the best.I plan on stripping the car down and really going through the motor trany and the interior when i get back from medford.

sw20Tmatt · 07-21-2007, 04:10 AM

sinester: they only want 100? even tho it has a bunch of extra crap to it (window up, turbo timer, microwave sensor ect.)? well if they will do it for that I will try to raise the money before I leave in sep.

sinESter · 07-21-2007, 06:54 AM

matt-yeah, they will. if i knew what their damn website was i'd give it to you. cant seem to find it either. but yeah, just let me know and ill direct you over there.
mark- thanks for the good review, hope your tranny lasts the trip. oh and ill keep my eyes peeled for the rear bumper. if i were to find another bumper ( not add ons but actual bumper) should i let you know or your certain on the toms?

sinESter · 07-21-2007, 06:55 AM

oh matt, would the install be on an mr2 or...?

goose2580 · 07-21-2007, 11:32 AM

hey josh here is another rear bumper i really dig.
now the guy that has it says its a stock 98 Prelude rear Bumper that is molded over the old bumper but im not sure how to do it maybe you could show this pic to your boss and he could come up with something.

sw20Tmatt · 07-23-2007, 01:06 AM

mark was that after HPN?

goose2580 · 07-25-2007, 12:44 AM

josh yes it was later that night.

Crispin well the guy saw the story on the news and turned himself in. the cops arrested him today and charged him with felony hit and run and a fewother felonys. he is a 23 yr old kid in a 98 ford escort. still dont know why he ran though. Chris is doing better but road rash all over and bruised up real bad. they didnt show it on the news but he has a huge patch on his lower back from about his waist line to about 12inches up and almost all the way across. but he says hill be back around soon.
