Surprise! It stormed on the way home from work. I like wax. I do not like the very very loud squeak from the wiper motor.
I’m taking the RX7 to get a new windshield tomorrow. The current one is so chipped, pockmarked, and otherwise scratched that with the sun in the right spot, you can’t see out of it. Headlights have a similar effect. Hopefully that goes well - I’m a little concerned about the trim that needs removed to do it.
I also noticed that the master cylinder seems to be seeping a little bit from the reservoir/cylinder joint. I’ve been wanting to flush the brakes (because I don’t know when it was done last or what sort of fluid [beyond ‘dot3'] is in it) and do the flex lines, so I’ve ordered a new MC, stainless flex lines, and another liter of Typ200 in case for some reason I use more than I already have on hand. This will bring all my vehicles to a state of using the same brake fluid, if nothing else.

Looking awesome man! I still have that georgia plate whenever you want to meet up so I can give it to you.

Hopefully next time I’m up in Erie visiting friends we can meet up and I can give you that header, too.

cool man! Do you want to sell that spare intake manifold or carb? I’m going carbed on my S5 13B.

I have a suspicion that the intake wouldn’t fit a 13B since the ports would be further apart (much like the 13B exhaust header doesn’t match up to the 12A). I’m going to hang on to the spare carb to get rebuilt and maybe bored out, etc. at some point down the line.

I made an adapter plate to make it work. No worries I’ll find one from someone else.
