Delta V is a shop that does a lot of japanese car modification/repair. The meet's are still at short pump, but if you guys ever need to switch locations delta v is available. So, as far as I know, meet's are still at Short Pump.

Gimme a page at 2045443 if you want to stop by and I can give you directions to mapquest.
I'm in northern chesterfield, maybe 10 minutes from 288&360, or about 10-12 minutes from southside speedway.

More work today, I stopped yesterday after discovering that the dealership had stripped one of my bellhousing -> engine bolts. Had to goto sears to get something to grab the bolt. :superpissedoffjoe:

Got the transmission out and the flywheel nut (the 54mm giant) off, but now the flywheel doesn't want to come loose... :o

Transmission is in!
Took about 3 hours, then about 15 minutes after I had the bright idea of propping the front of the engine up slightly to angle it back so the tranny input shaft would slide in more easily. Knowledge is a bitch.

Update (copied from the RX7club.com forum due to laziness 
)
Finished the clutch finally (yes it takes me forever to do anything right...but the right tools would have shaved two days off).
All I can say is hooooooooooly ****. I really have to force myself not to go WOT and over 4K...
Hows the new clutch grab? ******* quick! First start it didn't want to go thru the gears even in neutral, adjusted the pedal play and that was fixed. Took it for a spin. Stalled once in the driveway. Stalled about a mile down the road...then that was it...shifting took a whopping 10 shifts to get used to, going to still adapt as I go along as far as starts go. It's grabbing about 1cm off the floorboard! (I'm used to it grabbing 3/4 the way up).
While I was down there, I found a reason why the underside of my car was messy (4 wire sensor, less than hand tight), fixed that.
Big ol **** eating grin

Too bad Sato's engine blew up but I like his style, not afraid of the scarlet car.
