Just a reminder we are 2 weeks out from the evening cruise on 11/16 at 730 pm. Any and all interested click the link in my SIG to take you to the cruise thread for info. Its looking fairly good so far but the more the better. I know LV has a healthy bunch of rotaries...

dman, what a day to get this **** sorted before and after!
First the dealer, turns out the O2 sensor my mechanic had apparently changed he never changed it, them , the tpms sensors that discount tire were supposed to replace they never did, they now replaced it, and in between all this my coolant light came on, but then went off

A.mair did they tell you what the cel was at any point? Not what they thought was causing it but the actual number it was throwing.

O2 sensors have a life cycle ... best bet would be to determine what it is designed to last for and change it before it calls

Need input and pretty quick

Who would be interested in a SinCityRotary calender

The idea is to set up a photoshoot with our cars

Who may be interested in having their cars on the calender and/or in purchasing???

NOTE: This is open to all the Rotary cars/trucks doesn't matter if nice paint or even runs ... yes project cars .... am thinking of doing each month in small groups and then perhaps one with as many as we can get together as we can for a huge group picture

I'd buy a calendar. We need a new one at home so this would work out good. U can shoot my car too but its stock so it doesn't say much.

Yeah. I miss shooting cars to be honest. It takes a bit of prep though.

what do you think if there were more then 12?

I can line up 12 easy but the idea was to get more ppl and cars involved but perhaps there is something you know that I don't

how many were you thinking? i want to get some nice rig shots you see.

i would really only like to do 2 max per shot. But id want variety.

If you could get me some pics of the prospective cars and then we can decide from there. Ive always wanted to do this. So we should get started soon before the end of the year

There is not a rotary performance shop in Vegas. We do have one mechanic that has a shop here (or did, as I have not heard from him in a while) Where do you plan on going with the 8 hp wise? I have a s/c four port a/t and do not have a problem with the stock trans. I also have a bud in Phoenix that turboed his a/t and does not have a problem there ether. Black Halo Racing comes up here about once per month and has done several turboed a/t 8s.

Nice to see that you will join us.
