I mean like spark plugs and wires, manifolds, etc.

But apparently I won't be putting any of that on until Monday now. I've been home ALL DAY, haven't left once, because I've been waiting on the engine to be dropped off today. I was expecting to see FedEx but apparently it was shipped through UPS. So I called a little bit ago and they told me that I need to call to set up a drop off appt since it's being delivered to my residence and they will call me back on Monday to set up the appt. Um, WTF?!?! I ended the call and flipped out.

The first part of this post I actually typed several hours ago. Update to now...

Then Zico and Simon asked why I did just see if I could pick it up from the warehouse. I called and they said they were closing but I could come get it. So we all went over there, including Ian, and picked up the engine. I spent most of the night putting stuff on but I'm still waiting on a few things.

So did you guys end up meeting tonight? We had a mini-meet that ended up happening at our place, Tyler and Kevin showed up too, and Ian was here too. It was cool haha, but I spent most of the time in the garage so I missed out on most of it.

anyone have a garage and want to help me paint my car? i will provide compensation in the form of pizza and beer money.

Ummmm...LOL. The WHOLE car? I have a garage but it's taken up with two projects right now and even when they're finished I won't be parking them outside for several days in a row. Unless someone has a garage they're not using I doubt you'll find anyone. But best of luck.

Btw, what are you painting it with? Rattle can or for real paint job? Because for a good real job you're gonna have to seal the garage as much as possible to keep dirt and stuff out, and then you'd have to ventilate it and/or at the very least wear a mask. Just sayin.

whole car. it will be arctic white pearl. i have a buddy that has a paint shop that might let me use it for a weekend or something. yea, i have painted in a garage before, came out fine, but definitely inhaled too much fumes.

I have a mask that I got from Harbor Freight that worked pretty well for me. The only issue was not sealing completely around the nose, but it wasn't bad. You can use it if you want or they are pretty cheap at HF if you want one of your own.

So with all the chatter in speedjunkie's build thread about the meet tonight, I assume there are actually still going to be some people going? I plan on going. Still gonna be at the Chapel Hills (or w/e it's called) Sonic by the Academy right (off academy blvd I think), right?

speedjunkie · Postby **speedjunkie** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 9:14

Yeah I'm 99% sure it will be there, unless you guys want to meet somewhere else. I'm going to bleed my coolant system after work and do some research on the water temp gauge acting funny so I can make it to the meet tonight lol. Oh, and also bleed my clutch and brakes again lol.

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 9:14

I plan to be at the meet. It looks like it'll be a great day for a meet.

I plan to be there also. Chris, do you think you'll have room to take that methanol and distilled water for Operator?
