Well Saturday I managed to remove the cat, so I have 3 inch all the way back now, as well as install the stereo, remove the air pump, install the dual belt alt pulley, etc, etc... I managed to break the door strip on the passenger side... lond story.

89Rag drove up and helped some, was nice to meet him, too bad you guys missed out, he said he'll be back though... prolly RX-7 less, but he'll be there! Thanks for coming up and helping BTW 89Rag.

Very happy with the stereo sounds great, went with the Infinity speaker and am very happy with the other components. Removing the cats made one hell of a difference, very, very noticable and not much louder in all reality.

Next is the power sunroof motor.. what a bitch that will be.

Sweet! I wish I could have been there to help. I went to Ocean Shores with the girlfriend. It sucked, we drove around for almost 6 hours before we could find a hotel with an open room. We ended up staying in Lacey (a little over a hour from Ocean Shores

) I put almost 450 miles on the vert.

Cool, sounds good. Did you ever find the problem in the wire heading to the fuel pump? I remember you guys rewired it, but did you ever find where it was shorting or whatever.

I can't believe the guy drove all the way up from Oregon! Thats cool. I think usually in September the RROW has a group dyno day. I wouldn't mind checking that out.

Yep, they were all booked up. I drove up north to Moclips stopping at every hotel on the way, and they were all full. So we headed south, Aberdeen and Hoquiam were all booked up too, so was every other hotel/motel all the way back to Lacey, and we got one of the last rooms. It was a big pain in the ***! Didn't even check into the room untill after 1:00 am.
