Yup, but the thing is I need to have it running by the 15th, so I have time to drive it a little and get it tuned.

If I don't make it, they will have a substitution ready, but I'd love to go, these opportunities don't come along often.

Brian will be the one tuning it haha. I'd love to do it myself, but I don't really have time to practice on it, I'm hoping I get a good learning session out of it though.

I'm also trying to convince him to come with me and do the driving on the track. But he's pretty busy, and there is a local driver in AZ that is familiar with the course and has driven FD's before. So if Brian can't make it then I'll give that guy a call.

I wish I could do it myself, but this upcoming summer is my learning summer, so for me to go out on a track for the first time for this event, I'd lose and be a disgrace to the RX7 community haha.

Yeah, no need to pull the bumper off as it was already off haha.

It definitely needs to come off unless the angle the trailer is parked at is just right or you have a few 2x4's to ramp it up gradually.

I also took the exhaust off too, as the back of the muffler hangs pretty low and might scrape the ground as the back wheels finally go up the ramps.

I plan on renting a UHaul trailer to get to a track day down at VIR... I guess I will have to remove my bumper. Minor inconvenience, but not a huge deal.

Yeah... Not to say your not a good driver, but this is definitely not the type of event you want to be your first time out on a track. Hopefully you can convince Brian to go, I know he can pilot it to victory! ...and if he doesn't there will be hell to pay

So does this mean you will be joining us this year at track events??

You might not have to... Bring along a bunch of 4' 2x4's and you'll be able to get it up there without a problem.

If he ever gets the sand out of his vagina... maybe
But he still needs to find some pink racing shoes and some fire retardant pantyhose....

Silly guys towing with XJs...


I fit our lowered RX3 and front splitter on a uhaul trailer with little effort, you should be ok.


Also, why would you want Brian to drive it down the track? If memory serves me correct, the last RX7 he had on the track got him too excited and the result was touching a rotor to the plate and that was just a little twin turbo RE, not the monster twin charger REW this beast is housing...


Sorry B, it'll be a while before you can redeem yourself and face it, we don't have much to pick on
