Well, it sucks but I'm not going to be able to make it. Work has been horrible lately (flat rate tech) and money is way too tight to be able to go. Gas would kill me. If any of the Orlando guys want to meet up one night though I'd be in for that.

Man, there's always something with these cars. I don't know why we love them so much!

Plus, my wife is going to have to make an emergency trip to Costa Rica to visit her mom who's not doing well. That puts an extra, unplanned, financial stress on us right now, so I'm not sure we'll be able to make it either. That sucks, 'cause I worked hard all summer getting this stinking car back on the road with this event in mind.

There's this TGO member from West Palm Beach that is thinking about buying it, hopefully we can come to an agreement on the price but that was before the tranny decided to quit on me.

That's unfortunate, David. Hope all is well with your wife's family. I will be starting a new job soon...hopefully I won't be working on the day of the gathering.

Built, maybe you could hitch a ride with someone. At least you will have gone.

Thanks man. Talking about working that day. I got a call that I may have to work that day too. Haven't told my kids yet, they'll be dissapointed.

I'm still going to try to make the meet. Trying to find head gaskets for 4.060", not too easy.

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

Goodluck finding what you need. I will make it regardless. I don't care if it's 7pm, i'll still head that way. Anyway, I don't think the new job will interfere with my attendance but you never know. I just did the drug test yesterday and they still have to do the background check so i'm sure it will take another 3 weeks before I actually see any work at all.

Today I will finish polishing the calipers. Also, it looks like one taillight is darker than the other when I blacked them out. Easy fix though. I will sand the darker one a bit until it is the same shade as the other. Need to start on the interior and engine bay detailing. Luckily for me, my wife is going to be helping so I won't be doing it alone.

Page 8 must be the cancellation page. I just got word that I'm closing on my house on the 15th. So both cars won't be attending.

Hey Joe,
I finally went over to the JY today and they had two 16" IROC wheels. One front & one rear. (photos courtesy of Motobooks)

the guy said $30 each w/o the tires, but the tires were shot anyways. They are at an LKQ over in Daytona Beach. Not sure if you'd want to head over there and get them or not. I figured I would at least pass-on the information though.

Edit: Crap, photos didn't work Luis. Maybe you can post them or send me the JPG's

Fired the 3.4 today, moved under its own power, but the hard line from the fuel rail to the injector leaks so I gotta fix that. Time it some more, add more coolant, and I'm good to go.

Congrats! Not all of us are having car trouble and making it difficult/impossible for us to attend the gathering. Good for you!

Does anyone who reserved a campsite still have room? You are allowed 2 tents and 6 people total. I know a group of 3 who are looking to share/split cost of a campsite. They are all reserved according to the website. Let me know asap. Thanks.

Welcome Grim. Got any pics of your ride?

CharcoalBird

10 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone have space on their campsite!?!?!?!?!?!?

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

Got the fuel leak fixed, now have a coolant leak, but its a easy tighten and should be fine. Gotta fire it and time it some more. Also seems a new accessory belt is needed as well.

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

Good to hear, Rub. How does it run compared to your old setup?

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

Wayyyy better, so much smoother, and quieter. Don't have the noise from the roller rockers anymore, that and the old motor was so worn out it would sometimes idle, sometimes not. Going for the first test drive tonight to check how we are on timing, but otherwise as soon as its registered and insured it'll be road worthy.

Eventually I want to put my 60mm on it, with a T-5 behind it.

Cool. Just now saw this. I'm down for any night other than Tuesday and Thursdays.

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

PM me sometime, see what we can get together, Camaro just needs more timing and she's done.

built91Z28

Will do. Mine just needs more gas. Tends to go through it fairly quickly.

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

Depending on what night you guys in the Orlando area get together, I may even be able to show up. Give me about 3 weeks.

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

Heh, I know how that is. My 5.0 in the Mercedes gets like 5-8 MPG.

Less than a week left! I was going to go to silver springs yesterday but just have too much to do this weekend and I start the new job Monday so just didn't have the time.

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

I should make it. Car is ready for the road. Just needs a quart of oil, some trans fluid, and a can of freon and I'm good to go.

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

Rubber, are you getting together with a group from the Orlando area to cruise out here?

If anyone is coming from far, feel free to PM me your phone # incase anything happens. If you are fairly close by, surely someone can be of assistance to you. At least you won't be stranded.

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

If there's a group coming from here I didn't hear about it.But I would if there are others coming from there.

BlueChevyZ

iTrader: (1)

there is a group from the tampa lakeland area meeting at I-4 exit 10 @930a at the T/A travel center to cruise over together

redneckjoe

PM sent. thank you Adam.

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

Let me see how far that is from me, I'll try to make it. I'd have to leave at 7, but I'll try.

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

It's not bad. Depending on where you live, you could leave your place probably around 8am and get there in time(without speeding.)

RubberDucky

iTrader: (4)

8 would work. I speed, so I'll probably get there early. I'd rather be early anyway.

I'm bringing both!! I'm in absolute love with the 5th gen. But who wouldn't love a six speed 6.2???

I will be bringing the IROC and all her extras and new parts with the hopes that she sells for what I want out of her. If not, no worries. I'll just keep her and continue to clean her up.

Jim, did they find a campsite? I still have room, and may even be having to bail and not sleep over. I'm not bringing the dogs either. No way they're getting in the new car. I will probably be there around 1 or 2, Kei has a game a 10 in Holiday.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. Looks like a great day!!!!

I'm out for the count. I think the GTA finally spun a bearing. I'd be down for any Orlando meets however. Hopefully get this taken care of soon.

Is there an official time ?

I know they sell food at the park, I thought someone was gonna bring burgers / stuff to sell, is that still happening, I'll just bring cash ?

Rafael

CharcoalBird

iTrader: (4)

That's unfortunate. Best of luck to you in getting it fixed. In the meantime, maybe someone would be willing to give you a ride and you can still make it out.

Rafael, there is no official time. I said 12 just to have a time but you can show up earlier. If I end up not working that day I will be trying to get there at 7:30-8am just to set some things up.

Also, we don't have anyone bringing food to sell. Since this was the first one(I mean second, we only had 3 cars at last years) and there is no telling how many people will show, we just wanted it to be as simple as possible. Now, I was thinking of bringing drinks and possibly a couple packs of hot dogs to grill (depends on $$). Everyone is more than welcome to contribute something if they like though. This event is bring your own food for this year.

Um.....not trying to be a dick but a caliper takes all of maybe 20 min. to change.....where do u live maybe someone in your area can give you a hand that way you can make it..........there are to many people dropping out for various reasons, the more people that show the better it will be!!!!!
