Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
Found this picture of last years group that cruised down to the thirdgen round up from Houston IT WAS FUN . Hope to have more or atleast the same amount this time.
Are there any other Houston area guys who wish to cruise down together. There is about 4 of us at the moment.

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
sound good, I have a hard time fitting my whole family in my third gen for all but the shortest of trips, and this does NOT qualify. Just remember only Third gen park in the show area, all other cars park in the regular parking lot

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
CAR IS STILL DOWN!!!!! well pulled the rear axles out-no biggie-. getting the old bearings and seals out ( biatch ). put the first repair bearing in and it didnt seat all the way flush. pulled it back out. then after destroying it found it was not suppose to seat all the way flush. ok. cleaned the axles down farther so the new seal would have a good place to ride. then the spiders fell out while doing all this. getting them lined back up to put the locking pin back in is a whole nother story. got all this done and the squeak was gone. BUT!!!!!!!! now i have found that there is a slight grinding noise in the tail housing in the transmission. next project is to get the car off the ground and take the tailhousing all apart. that is a going to be a project in itself. so for now she is still down.

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
the good luck is no longer in play. she is up on jackstands until i can locate the noise that i believe is in the tranny. got the tailhousing off and it is still making a noise. so as of now she is down again. if it is the tranny that needs to be fixed i am thinking it will stay down for a while.

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
after talking to several people a someone that builds trannies. if you spin the driveshaft backwards like in reverse without pressure the front sparg will squeak. found my rear bushing in the tailhousing was very worn which was allowing the driveshaft to move around quite abit. gotta get to the rest of the suspension. we are going to go with it for right now. after i get the rest done tomorrow and then put a bunch of weight in the car and drive it. if it squeaks still im gonna drive it till it breaks.

Re: 2012 Thirdgen Roundup
Lance, you and your car went several rounds hah. Its good to hear that you got it all squared away, and with several days to spare as well.
As for the houston guys cruising up, I normally participate in that but not this year. I live about 4 exits south of the meet location. This location is in a bad place for many Texans but its just perfect for me.

Weekend forecast for Lake Conroe.... high of 88, with clouds (no rain) If that hold, we couldn't ask or expect better weather. It's going to be a great day!

As it is, I'd be shocked if it was less than 30 and I'm thinking 50 or more is possible
