yesterday,I like most of us here in New England got a great taste of spring

. I mean damn it was beautiful. Sunny, sixty degrees, and SHORTS! in march no less.

But there was something more in the air. Now wether or not it was the smell of old gas and grease while I was working on my car I'm not to sure. It was refreshing seeing (and smelling for that matter) that winter is nearing it's end.
comming to the realization that baseball is just a month away was icing on the cake. Back on topic. During my time at the shop cleaning the car and doing some minor work I started to remember meets and fun times over past summers. Finishing my sr swap early 06', roadtrips all over the east coast (well as far south as VA.)in the s14.

sure the car had 07' off

,but it is to be back this year, and thats refreshing.

how about you guys? any conclusions on the good weather that we had and weather to come? progress on your cars? Or just plain happy to see the season start to change?
let me know.

Naughty240 · 03-06-2008, 02:10 PM

^ haha you said it baseball in a month and I got april tickets lol

Hell ya ive also been spending the last couple days working on my car. For me it was the sound of the compressor that got me that feeling. I dont think I dropped one F bomb it was a pleasure to get out there. I was driving Full size chevys the last 4 summers It gonna be good to get in car again and have some nice summer rides.

^nasty to sushi? you ever try it? sooooo good.

Naughty240 · 03-10-2008, 08:50 AM

haha i spit out a california roll. I like Japanesse steak houses with the shows but its gotta be steak and shrimp.

MavericStephenc · 03-10-2008, 12:11 PM

korean bbq is to die for. spicy pork and beef with different veggies so damn good.

but like good car parts, you gotta pay to play.

my brother and I plus 3 of our friends at the apollo in bostn rang out at just under 180. but then again we orderd A LOT of food.

sushi is amazing too......

Naughty240 · 03-20-2008, 02:31 PM

1ST DAY OF SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its here its here

Well at least in RI it is. Do you poor bastards in NH still got snow?

ByeByeSti · 03-21-2008, 03:38 PM

theres still like a foot left in my front yard

MavericStephenc · 03-22-2008, 01:37 PM

ok so AWESOME day tuesday.

I went down to the shop to do some work and much to my suprise.....I got a whole lot done.

motor mounts are in.(didnt even need a hoist

)
the front mount is fully mocked up.
exhaust is hung, and the down pipe is going in as soon as the turbo setup is tightened down.
oil lines........PITA

so that leaves finding either a small battery to fit next to the cold pipe, or a battery relocation kit. suggestions?
I also have to flush the oil and seafoam the engine.

happy times are to follow

p.s here are some pics from last week doing the turbo swap on my buddies fc

na f/c hella clean....before it was on jacks

new motor

discussing why the rotary IS a grenade waiting to explode

me trying to make way

matt forgot to remove the shifter. needles to say this part was a PITA

GONE!

and i dont know why this picture of me was taken but who cares

silentstyle1 · 03-23-2008, 04:41 PM

yea i agree tuesday was a good day.

cuts all over my hands prove it.... future reference, do turbo lines before engine swap.

oh yea and steve i guess you door lock being back in wasn't important to you at all, i see that my services aren't appreciated....

Naughty240 · 03-23-2008, 07:31 PM

and i dont know why this picture of me was taken but who cares

[/QUOTE]

The removal of the rubber glove is a symbol of a job well done and is always followed by a beer.lol. Damn that engine bay is pretty clean looks like a clean ass car too. I have always had a secret crush on that generation RX7

MavericStephenc · 03-23-2008, 09:08 PM

well I hope to head back up to matts house soon to follow up with the install of the kaaz 2 way and the turbo motor. (pics mabye?)

yes it ( a job well done) is always followed by a beer. it would have to be a good beer though. sam adams, guinness ,or a killians.

edit: it is a clean car, but the engine bay was not as clean as it may look. I suggested we get a pressure washer and some orange clean to de-grease the bay.
