damn, it really wants me to have the 2.3 drivable by then, but i just dont think its going to happen. 1-2 sounds good to me. i might bring some people with me.

brianmcd

Let's say 2PM so I know I'll have time to get back. I'll leave at like 7:30 to gimme plenty of time. So, snake road 2PM. Mike can you post up some directions?

~brian

onepointone

take 95 to the ruffin mill exit (95 s coming from richmond, 95 north coming from p-burg)

95s - youll take an exit ramp and youll go across a bridge that goes over 95. youll come to a 4 way stop light. go right.


95n, youll get off and you will come to a stop light right off the exit. you will have to either go left or right. go right


once you are going right.. there will be a bunch of industrial parks. we can meet in any of them. i say (to make directions easier). go down that road. youll come to a 90* in the road, go through there, then there will be a warehouse on the RIGHT (theres one on both sides, but go to the one on the right) it will be a havertys (i didnt spell that right). we can meet in that parking lot.

let me know if you have questions on directions

brianmcd

i think it's the B exit we want, also. not sure though. anyway, I think we should probably meet in whatever lot is farthest away (closest to the col-de-sac) to keep attention down (especially from police). Are you bringing some eju guys mike? Dustin and company? the more the merrier, hopefully we'll have a good turnout. if anyone knows anyone who would wanna come bring em along. I dunno how we should work out the snake road run. if we have a ton of cars it might get unsafe, but we'll just have to keep a good distance.

onepointone

the police wont mess with use unless we are messing around, especially on a sunday, everything is shut down out there.

i dont know about the eju guys, no one has a working car, or a valid licence in joe's case. maybe a passanger? who knows...

my friend jeremy just bought a VERY clean 1990 turbo 2. im going to see if he wants to go, and also another friend with a turbo 2.

1988RedT2

Not sure if I'll be able to make it.
Question: Where is Rosen Autosport located? Do they have a wideband O2? And how much do they charge for an hour of dyno time?

rgordon1979

iTrader: (3)

Rosen is or was just off of Boulevard near the diamond. I heard that they shut down last year, not sure about that though. If they are still open they do have a wideband. Can't remember a price for the dyno.

brianmcd

Rosen closed down, and from what I hear it was a good thing. I've heard from a few very reputable people that Rosen had no clue what they were doing, and fucked up a lotta people's cars. There's a reason they shut down, heh. I think there's somewhere on southside off of midlothian with a dyno, but I'll have to check. The guy who runs the shop I help out at will know, and I'm probably going by there this afternoon. I'll be sure to ask him when I see him. Hope to see you Sunday!

my friend stump just got his sr20 s13 running, so he might be there as well

Josepi

You mean like forgetting to fully tighten brake lines? Nothing like barrelling towards an intersection of stopped cars and having your brake pedal sink to the floor....

Anyways...that's ancient history in my books.

I never did find out about AED and it's dyno. Most places that do dyno will charge anywhere from 75-150 per hour...that's up to the shop really.

1988RedT2

Yeah, I talked to someone at AED about a month ago. They said they would have their dyno up around now. For all the interest in tuning cars these days, I can't believe there aren't more shops with dynos. Maybe we should all dig some change out of the sofa cushions and go buy one? Heh.

-Marc-

Josepi

I'm just going to buy a wideband and go find a hilly road...cheaper in the long run.

88 vert

Joe you coming by tommorow?We will be here all day after 11 a.m. Give me a call if you get lost or decide not to make it. (804)-861-0863

Josepi

So long as we can get the wheels off to get at the rest, yes!

Need me to bring any tools, or do you think you have enough to have it covered?

1988RedT2

You know, its funny, but that's the same conclusion I was coming to....

Which wideband do you like?

88 vert

Joe,got the wheel locks off.
"every tool you should need is in this garage if you cant find it in here you dont belong under the hood of a car"
LOL i have everything you need to get the suspension off.Ill be outside all day so give me a call.

brianmcd

hahaha.


I'm looking forward to the meet Sunday! 2PM!

Link didn't work...

You guys know there is a drift event on March 20th at Cloverleaf?

Josepi

Woot! I'm still in pain...

I found out that the ring "gear" for the ABS sensor can be swapped, but the FSM doesn't show any clear shot and since it was getting dark I didn't even think to look to see if the ABS sensor was held on by a bracket or what...

onepointone

yea, ive been planning on it for a long time, then they hit us with a $50 entry fee

last year they were $30 for all day. i know they dont pay for the lot at cloverleaf, and they want to raise the prices? i know autox's are only 15-20 bucks..

brianmcd

Josepi, you coming tomorrow? Hope to see everyone there.

~brian

Josepi

I'm still 50/50, my wheel bearing is making some nasty noises...while the wheel probably isn't going to fall off, it still freaks me out. But ya, I'll most likely show up!



I have to change oil on three cars today, plus get a better look at everything around my front spindle.

David, the car is still pulling to the left, so everyone else knows, we took the right front caliper off when we discovered the differences between the 91 nonABS and ABS BS. I hit the brakes a few times when the caliper was off the rotor (doh!) but discovered that 3/4 of the calipers pistons were frozen...we bent up a C clamp trying to push the one working piston back in, gave up and used the caliper from the parts car which amazingly enough, all four pistons seemed to be in good shape. I'll let David tell you about his gran dorifto experience tommorow...

brianmcd

Hehe, should be a fun time tomorrow! I'm thinking meet at 2PM, chill in the parkinglot for 30 minutes or so, do snake up and maybe chill in the park there, or come back down and go and get some food or something. Bring those cameras!
