Another NC Newbie

Post by rahjr60 »

Hello all. I have viewed this site a number of times, and finally decided to sign up. From all I have seen it is a great site with many active and helpful members. I'll post some pics of my cars as soon as I get things a little more organized as I just recently moved. The driver is in the garage for winter maintenance - brakes, chasing oil leaks and electrical gremlins. The project car is in the barn and the body/chassis is still strapped to the trailer. Happy to be here and I hope to be an active member of the community.

Welcome, great to have 3 more 311's pop up in NC. We seem to be a bit of a gathering place on the east coast! LOL
Pictures, or they don't exist! :-)

Here is a pic of the driver car from our local Cars and Coffee. This car came to NC from WA with a young man in the military. It has Solexes, cam, header and comp springs. Previous owner thought it was raced, but only has a street bar, so maybe AutoX? Anyone in WA know the car? I hope this works, I'm pretty low tech on the computer.

Oops, that didn't work. Had to remove the link. I'll try again later.

Thanks for the help David. The stripes aren't the only go fast parts on the white car, but no doubt they help. The white car is the one I mentioned earlier from WA. The red car also has solexes, cam, header and the big oil pan in addition to the oil cooler. No go fast stripes, but the PO had NC State Wolfpack logo embroidered on the headrests. I have gotten it started after it sat outside for about seven years with PO, but it is completely non-roadworthy right now. That car spent most of it's life in NJ, so it will receive body parts from the car on the trailer, which spent its life in TN and GA. PO on that one was in process of trying to do a Miata 1.8L swap, but gave up. It has no motor or trans at all. Anyone need some misc 95 Miata parts?
