DC450 06-02-2002 11:42 AM

Not sure, i got it from Kirks auto parts, took them a couple of days to get in...well 1 day

EightTrack 06-02-2002 11:48 AM

Does anyone know if I can fill it through the shift lever housing, or do I have to do it from underneath?

DC450 06-02-2002 11:52 AM

bcty 06-02-2002 04:35 PM

CanadianRX7 06-02-2002 06:45 PM

DC450 i need to edit my posts??? umm why??

Im thinking the 15th will be better but i dunno. I work till about 9 on friday.

DC450 06-02-2002 09:11 PM

Not you Canadian.....Timpo

NanaimoRx-7, good work at the mini-sprints man, what was your best time?

Anybody see that 1st gen with the 350 in it? Crazy. Not something I'd be into, but cool nonetheless.

NanaimoRx-7 06-02-2002 11:51 PM

Yeah I saw that Chev (ugh), for a second I thought I had some competition in Pro7, then I saw the hood scoop. Ewwwww. Did you see that Rx-7 spin? I guess he was hoping the heavy stereo in the back would help off-set that monster engine upfront. He came in at 3100 Lbs on their funky scales, I flew in a 2374 lbs (Drivers in). On the way home from Vic I stopped at the scales and my car weighed in at 1000Kg, no driver, more than half tank of gas. The last time I went to the scales I was at 1000Kg with just enough fumes to get home. So figuring 7lbs/gal (at least that's what I've been told) and a half tank difference (5 Gal) from last time that puts me near 985 KG !!!!!! I'll wait til the tank's near empty again sometime and go verify with scales before I change my sig.
I'm pretty sure about my mini-sprint time, but someone mentioned lower. It's all about that damn hairpin, harder than it looks. Great first time out though...

NanaimoRx-7 06-03-2002 12:02 AM

New List
 
1. NanaimoRx-7 (Nanaimo, duh)
2. Bcty (Nanaimo)
3. CanadianRX7 (duncan)
4. white_FC3S (Victoria)
5. DC450 (Campbell River)
6. EightTrack (Victoria)

I don't want to screw DC450 out of a drive if we go to Vic, unless he doesn't mind driving a million miles. Hey gotta break in that new tranny somehow. I should print a page with start time, location and destination and give them to randon Rx-7 owners that I see. That is of course once a date is found. How is the 15th for people? I just recently made myself unemployed so my time is pretty open. If we could get up to 10 Rx-7's cruising around would be pretty dope, something you don't see very often.

Damn...NanaimoRx-7...that's pretty light.
I weighted my car a couple weeks ago at the scales by Elk Lake and it was 1340kg(~2948lb) with no driver and about 10L of gas.
Do you know how much horsepower the Chevy/RX-7 had? What class was he in today at the Minisprints? His time?

Nope, I'm going to have to wait until it comes up on the VMSC website. I still don't know what all the classes are, and how they're determined.

"I guess he was hoping the heavy stereo in the back would help off-set that monster engine upfront"

Haha....

Ya I saw him spin, I was sitting right at the turn when it happened. 3100 in a Rex is just plain wrong, but again, I give him points for doing something different.

Where's the nearest place I could get my car weighed, for free that is? :)

EightTrack 06-03-2002 12:28 AM

Can't say for sure if I can make the 15th, I work saturdays 50% of the time, only day I'm 99% sure I have off is Sundays, I'll be going to auto x on the 16th. I'll try and arrange to get the day off. What time did you have in mind?

NanaimoRx-7 06-03-2002 12:33 AM

Nearest Truck scales, they're open all night. Well at least the part we're concerned with. I didn't know this until a few weeks ago, go figure.

You can use the truck scales that are northbound on the Pat Bay Hwy by Elk Lake. You just have to wait until they're closed. I weighted my car at 1am. You just drive on the scale(large metal plate in front of the "shack") with all four tires and the digital display just lights up about a hundred feet away in front of you. Remember to get out of the car if you want.

white_FD3S 06-03-2002 12:42 AM

you guys know it's past 1:30am on a Sunday night...and 3/5 guys in the Vic Import Chat are REX owners...who would of thought this would happen a few months ago.

white_FD3S 06-03-2002 12:46 AM

DAMN...
 
3 out of 7...the word gets out fast.(just a little whoring)
