Buenos dias!

Hola!

Not new to the 7 world... just new to this forum. I've had enough with the other one, and someone talked me into migrating.

Anyway, I have an 88 Turbovert, and lots of experience (its my 4th). I look forward to throwing some useful comments the way of the forum, and learning even more!

Welcome to the GOOD Rotary site! The more people we can get over here to add positive experience and attitude the better! How about posting up some pictures of the show car?

I can already tell that I'll enjoy this site more than the other one.

The photos were at IASCA Spring Break Nationals about a month ago in Daytona... I ended up in a tie for 1st but took 2nd in the tiebreaker because I haven't finished the fab work in my trunk

I can't have all my fun at once... that's ok though. I'm moving out to California in May and will get to hit all of the good HIN shows!

Nice to see another rotary owner here in Jax. Stinks you'll be moving to CA though while we are up in TN for DGRR. Are you in the Navy, being stationed over to CA? or just a move you've always wanted to do?

FILTHY looking FC. In a good way, not implying you need a car wash If i ever owned an FC, the FC2000 kit was definitely going to be the only thing i'd ever put on it.

Yep... Navy. I should have gone in the 6 years that I've been here, but hadn't even known about it in the first 3 years.

They're making go to Monterey to get a MS in Systems Engineering. Sounds miserable. BUT, the good part is the house I'm moving into has (2) 2 car garages! Thats like a beach resort to me!

I love this body kit, but I've never actually put it on a trailer - which is something I'm about to do.

To prep for the move, I've installed coilovers... I'll raise them to the max, and hope for the best. The front bumper is giving me recurring nightmares. If I cant get it on the trailer, I'll have to take my sawz'all to it.

: DOH: ANOTHER sailor? This site is lousey with seamen. If you have to, you could use wheel dollies to get the front a little higher so you can get it on the trailer. The SawzAll comment makes me cringe.

Me too. I'll figure something out... that was a little over the top in the drama index.

Most rotary owners here are in the Navy, or just gluttons for punishment like me

Enjoy CA while you are there! I love vacationing there, but i could never live there. too many oppressive rules and regs on fun. None of my cars would ever pass smog, and none of my toys are legal there. though the scenery is AMAZING. Especially the sunsets into the ocean

is the front bumper molded to the fenders? If not, just unbolt the front end and leave it inside the car trailer that's what I do with my FD when i have to tow her anywhere.
