You probably talk to the turbo 8 guy - i think he sold his car... I havent seen him there in a while.

Mine is dark green/enkei wheels no CF hood

Well most of my rebuild parts I ordered from Atkins will be delivered to my house on the 8th. I can get crackin on the motor work soon. I've already bought some metal polish and will begin to shine up parts like the Intake manifolds, alternator, intake piping, ect. Gonna need a lot of elbow grease lol.

WE3RX7 · 07-06-2009, 08:34 PM

Those manifolds take a lot of time, lol... I have a half polished rear turbo pipe for the FD that the previous owner I guess gave up on after hours of work, lol...

I've only polished two sets in the past and they took 12 hours minimum each....

Vex, we can go up to chick-fil-a some friday.... I usually work in arlington on fridays, but i can meet you in gainessville one day and drive up if you want to follow... we just need a nice friday evening and the lot will be packed...

Tempting... but I think I might be out for the summer. Life is packed this close to the wedding. CRAP, I still have a lot to do. ugh...

I think we should all get together and have a cook out one sat. If we can get some good weather!

WE3RX7 · 07-09-2009, 02:13 PM

Just a matter of finding the time I guess...

boost d3vil - I was curious, but why did you get rid of the evo? It seems evo owners are pretty die hard and going to a rwd rotary platform would be considered a mitsu sin in their world, lol....

vex · 07-09-2009, 05:48 PM

Going to be pulling my turbo to button up one or two things this weekend down in culpeper if anyone wants to point and laugh.

one320fc · 07-09-2009, 06:40 PM

LoL that may be true.. my friends from the evo board are pretty cool though I posted my FD project and they like it. Most of them want me to throw a LS1 in it but they're not bashing me for going rotary lol.

I sold the evo due to extremely high monthly payments and I'm about to buy a house so I couldn't afford both. The FD I got pretty cheap and its an ongoing project that I'm in no hurry or rush to complete. Although being able to drive it someday would be nice!

I'd be down to stop by and give a hand if needed when will you be working on it?

WE3RX7 · 07-09-2009, 08:00 PM

I will be around town this weekend too (for once) - are you working on it at your place down 522?

vex · 07-09-2009, 08:43 PM

Yup. Working out in the street off VA ave. Should be starting tomorrow. I've got the entire weekend to do it so no big rush. I still have to pick up a replacement hex cap screw to replace one that dropped out... I also need to pick up some heavy duty PTFE tape. Should be starting sometime tomorrow whenever I wake up--then grabbing about $5 worth of materials/parts and heading back to let the engine cool down.

boost d3vil · 07-09-2009, 09:27 PM

Is VA ave. in town?

Nvm its off 522 I see it. I'll be in culpeper tomorrow lookin at some houses. I'll have to swing by.

vex · 07-09-2009, 09:38 PM

Just outside of it on the 522

WE3RX7 · 07-10-2009, 01:24 PM

Vex, I have to go to the post office in the AM, but I will give you a ring in the afternoon/evening if you're still out that way and I'll stop by...

Boostd3vil,
If you're looking for houses in Culpeper, they just finished building two in my neighborhood off Ira Hoffman (they literally just stuck the for sale sign in the dirt this week)... brand new SFH, probably get it for about $200K or maybe under..... if you want details, let me know, I can send you a PM.
