That is one clean looking '86. I hope to have my 80 looking that good in the future. Just got a little r. wheel arch rot starting to set in, and a few minor dings (mostly from the ex wife hitting the truck, hence the "ex" part.....) and give it some fresh paint to get her looking nice.

BTW, that 'sploder STILL hasn't returned......

Haha, I thought he was saying that you and I were tied for number of double posts.
So whats the tie breaker?

He must be parking it at a friends house until its fixed.
Then he can say he went out of town, he never had any damage and you are a liar.

EDIT: Thanks for the rep!

Rained all day here, so the only thing I did was cut a few donuts in the parking lot with the RX7. Wonder if my neighbors realized I was (still) rather PO'd????????

haha, you did a donut in the rain?
Last night I was running really late in the CVPI and it was raining.
At WOT when it made the 1-2 shift and the 2-3 shift it was breaking the tires free.
I also did about 10 power slides, that was just flat fun.
Shame it took 5,000 miles worth of rubber off the back tires.lol

No, I did several donuts....
That little 1.1L makes a heck of a noise at about 6-7K RPM. I think the police in the next town heard me. Even with 2 mufflers inline, a rotary makes a distinctive sound.
It's much easier to keep those Falken Azenias RT615's spinning on wet asphalt than on the dry. They just a bit on the sticky side......

8500 RPM when the throttle stuck at the dyno.
Typically, I don't go over 7K, and never hold it above 5K for long. Just because they can wind high, doesn't mean it's really good them to do so for extended periods of time.

I just wondered because I found a vid of a guy pegging the tack for 5 sec before every up shift.
