I picked up an IMSA/GTU sticker off ebay that is a copy of the sticker that came with the car when it was new.

Awesome sticker! I bought a replica of the 1993 car of the year sticker from a guy on the forums several years ago. I never put it on the car because I was afraid I'd lose whatever window it was on and never get another copy. So I lost the sticker instead LOL.

There was a guy on ebay from Florida, he made 10 of them to sell so a very small run. It is about 1/2" larger than the original.

Careful, this is a very slippery slope. You're starting to sound like me LOL.

Congrats on the parts haul. I'm slowly building up my inventory for an upcoming install weekend.

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 9:14

Most of my parts have already shipped and they should all be delivered by Friday. My guess is that the few things that have not shipped will be here next week.

My parts will most likely take at least 2 weekends to install. I'm trying to deside in what order to do all the installs so my car isn't down.

I swear though, there is almost nothing I love more than coming home to at least one box sitting on the stoop with parts in it, and it's even better coming home from deployment to a stack of boxes LOL. It's like Christmas every time haha. It's so addicting.

This is going to really be a new car when you're done with it.

It is very much like Christmas. Since most of what I bought came from Rock Auto, I will be getting 12 packages. So lots of presents to open, lol.

Well most of my parts are here. I have the pineapple racing OMP rebuild kit out for delivery today and I have the pitman arm and front disk brake hardware kit coming next week. Everything else is sitting in the garage.

If you need some help just let me know, I owe you one from when you came over and helped me.... I think I have still had the best "Christmas" so to say when coming home to parts, there were so many they were in the 3 different places haha

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Mon Oct 03, 2011 9:14

You don't owe me, you did help me get my car going last year lol.

I will need some help next month at some point pulling the tranny and replacing the release bearing. It is making a ton of noise, it has since I got the car. I'm debating if I should worry about the pilot bearing as well.
