***Tech Meet Ideas and SORC plans***

My MM's suck bad, I can see the hood raise when I romp on it. Car ran good though, despite having no plates, a poor rear suspension and a noisy exhaust.

On the plus side, your used tensioner is working GREAT!

I'm glad I didn't throw it in the scrap pile.

That one from your car was f-ing scary!

 

[LJRuddy]

Sweet! get your brake parts?

how about motor mounts?

I've got two here, if Paul doesn't want them, you can have them if you want to reinforce them.

No, I have not gotten my brakes yet... I will however bring my stainless brake lines to put on. What all will I need to buy (besides brake fluid) to swap out the lines? I have never done this before...

Also, I'd be happy getting those MMs from ya.

I don't have any Idea, shouldn't be anything special.

You might try searching about reinforcing those mounts with bolts and bushings, that's what most guys do.

 

[WSC-SHO]

So I guess the change of plans is that Me and Clay will be coming down around 2 in the afternoon...And then staying till sunday sometime

 

[LJRuddy]

Another bump for anyone in the KC area *cough* Izzmo and Ryein7 *cough*. I will be leaving my apt (435 and Midland in Shawnee, KS) at around 4:30-5pm Thursday eveing to head up to Joe's place. If you want to carpool or caravan, let me know ASAP! 816 877 4130. :-D


EDIT: OH SHIT! I missed my 1,000th post! Grrr....

If y'all want to meet at my house, you can leave you cars here. It's a little more convinient that I'm on the west side of town too.

Who's car are we taking? I can drive, and I'm getting my AC fixed tomarrow (myself). If someone else really want to drive, that's fine too.

I've got a few different coolers we can use, and I think I'll go to Wal-Mart and get a shit load of Gatorade and some water. If anyone else wants other drinks, bring them. (no alcohol in my car) Bring snacks for the drive too.

Bring your I-pods with road trip music! I've got a jack on my headunit.

Any other ideas guys?

 

[Toolman]

Have you guys heard about the Grudge Drags at the Thetford airport? You should plan on making it, I would if I were coming this year. Side by side racing down the airstrip. Should be some GOOOD viewing!

I agree... so which night are we gonna cruise around lincoln?? Im going saturday because i want to join in in my new one!! Im looking forward to this weekend. Joe, im so damn poor i can afford to do the rod bearings this month.. they arent bad, so it can wait. i hope you dont mine helping me some other time.. im thinking as long as was can get the ASFB's and get my AC going, this will be a successful trip!!

 

[jthod]

Tim-The Grunge Drags are being held on Thursday morning, I believe. More than one day out there, especially a day earlier wouldn't work for us. The would have been a **** of a lot of fun though. Can't wait to see your new turbo SHO next year though!

Probably Saturday night, that's usually the best night. Now I can get some attention with mah x-haust!!! (-40 lbs+8bhp+25dB=guud)

 

[zblackbeast]

Yea.. i has a slight exhaust leak at the y pipe!! :laugh_ti: i cant win, can i? im excited for the cruise!! With that intake when the secondaries open, its SO DAMN LOUD!!!

 

[Toolman]

Forgive me, I have not read the whole thread, but I also suggest that you guys go and run the course (at speed limit of course), just to see how fun it would be. I plan on running in the 105 or 110 speed next year.

TT

 

[jthod]

We'll see about the course, it depends if we have time, and how exhausted we are. Sounds like fun though, even with 4 of us in the car.

[jthod]

My AC quit today. 28 hours after charging.

I'm going to the garage to cry...again.

I can still drive, just no AC. No big deal to me, I've gone without it all summer.

 

[Izzmo]

Hey.. I'm in the same boat.. except mine is a little pain in the ass because it tricks me... it will stay on.. and then shut'er down when I need it the most.

 

[zblackbeast]

HA, i have to "jump" the compressor when im down there....

 

[LJRuddy]

Ok so Izzmo, you joining me tomorrow (thursday) evening for the drive up to Omaha to Joe's place? Call me anytime tomorrow if you plan on heading up there. 816 877 4130.
