It must like you. Thanks!

[Einstein]

A couple of neat things I found in the glove box...

The warranty book is completely filled up with meticulous records.

[Einstein]

Let me know what you guys think.

I took the motor to work today. I ordered my rebuild CD from Kevin @ RR. Gonna try to rebuild this one myself. I'll take pics as I teardown.

[JShiz]

Nice. good luck with it.

[jerd_hambone]

Mmmmmm..... I want me some S5 TII....

Welcome by the way

[Einstein]

Thanks. Got the motor down to the short block. Ready to open it up.

[Einstein]

Got the motor taken apart - forgot the camera though. I'll take it tomorrow.

Uno mas:

They look ok to me. No worn areas or scratches. All the seals have come out of the rotors pretty easily too. I have not had time to get pics of the rotors yet, but they are in good shape. I have cleaned everything in our parts washer. It's more like a parts rinser. I think all that is in it is mineral spirits. I need one with a tank or one of those that looks like a friggin smoker.

Oh, and sorry again, Kevin.

[Einstein]

Blown coolant seals.

[Einstein]

Blown coolant seals. Wouldn't hold water. Or so I was told.

[evelution75]

That's a nice car you got there, plenty of potential. Do you plan on doing any other engine upgrades?

[Einstein]

K-
What if only the outer seals died?

Thanks, e. I appreciate it. I have been getting crap about having the motor at work. People keep asking me, 'What is that thing?!'

[RotaryXperiment]

interesting, good info.

[Einstein]

The previous owner told me as soon as he noticed a problem he shut it off and never restarted it. I'll get more info.

[ROTORX7Holly]

Welcome to RCC and Atlanta. As, 87turbo_turtle said, I am in Atlanta and there are a few of us who get together regularly in north Gwinnett County. Nice T2. I hope you get it all together soon, so you can enjoy driving it.

Hey Holly,
We met last Feb at a Mexican restaurant. I didn't have my 10AE on the road at the time. You still at Downing Atlanta?

Hey there, yes I am still there. It has been quite a while since we have been over on that side of town. Let us know if you want to come out to north Gwinnett for the monthly meet. 1st Tuesday of every month at Jeffreys Sports Bar in Suwanee - exit 111 of of I-85N. Mostly FBs, but all rotaries are welcome. We call it Old Guys with 12As..... It has grown from that.

[Einstein]

Sounds good. As soon as I get my motor back in I'm there :D

[Einstein]

Got my porting templates from Pineapple Racing today - along with some good advice from Rob. He made sure that I got the right ones for my power expectations and usage.

Now for the porting. I haven't done this before. -crosses fingers-

[Einstein]

It's alive! I've had this car so long and have finally had time to get back to it.

It's starts and sort of idles - didn't have time to get that far.

[Herblenny]

awesome!
