So I'm planning on heading to DGRR with you guys this year. Since I've never been though.... how does lodging work? Is there a specific area thats reserved and I have to dibs a room before they all run out or what?

When Phil opens registration, you can call and try to get a room in the lodge. We all always try to stay in our own cabin, but it's luck of the draw on who gets the big cabins.

So if "we" the group get a cabin its just a sleep where you can situation? I assume you just split the cost?

What's up man, you in middle TN yet? Whoever is in charge of the room this year is who you'll need to contact. I am sure Charles is managing the cabin this year. . . PM jfaplanet for more information. http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_forum/member.php?u=16

So Im starting my search for an FD. Which means parts searching too. I browsed through the FD thread about things to look for in FDs and peoples fav parts but its all old.. This is going to be roughly a two year search unless I come across something I'd be crazy to pass up. That being said... any advice about things I should make sure to stay away from.. or parts that I should be looking for now that are "must have"?

Johnny_K · 11-05-2015, 08:03 PM

^ not sure how picky you are with your interior but I would try and get one with nice interior. trying to replace broken stuff in the car gets expensive quick. hell everything on the car is expensive.

I would either get one that has a simple single kit or one that has working sequential.

stay away from ones with old school injectors that use resistors and ones that has a bunch of electronice. turbo timer, egt gauge, ebc, etc. they are wiring nightmares.

just try and start off with thr best fd you can. getting a crappy one ans fixing it adds up quick.

Interior is definitely something I would be on the look out for

. I fought that battle with my FC. My mind is basically made up, that if it isn't stock, I don't want it. Im willing to spend a little money to get something nice. I just don't want one thats built already.

project86 · 11-05-2015, 08:34 PM

Come to think of it... I don't think I would be opposed to getting one that had a blown engine if everything else was in good shape... having a new engine put in wouldn't be that bad..
