Re: **Tucson 3rd Gen Gathering: Sign up here**

It should be raining on Friday. Also I'm scared of my car because of all the work I did on it I might have done some of it wrong, thats why I'm scared... And the rockers are loud. Anyone know if the rockers should be loud if they are on new lifters??

Also lets plan it weeks ahead so people can set time aside for it other than people saying "Oh this Friday I got plans already..."

Are your rockers the adjustable type? if so all you might need to do is adjust them. The passenger's side rocker nearest to the firewall is ticking like a time bomb right now on my car. I haven't gotten around to adjusting it and part of the reason is all the tubes, wires and what not that I have t deal with !

How does mid febuary sound for the "big one"? there is still plenty of time to plan this thing 'til then....just an idea!

Re: **Tucson 3rd Gen Gathering: Sign up here**

The Honda Blowby is a technique used when someone passes you, you wait for them to start to slow down, then you mash your gas, so by the time they realize what you're doing they have no chance in hell to catch up. A red 'bird blew past me on Grant last night.

Re: **Tucson 3rd Gen Gathering: Sign up here**

I see! That red camaro must of been you huh? I never heard of that technique before. On my way to work on the evenings, I usually take fairview rd right next to the freeway and notice quite a few people that like to pass me up at about 50mph; I'm gonna try this out next time someone passes me up in their big bad truck or rice popper; except for those new tundras, I hear they come with 340 HP stock!

Re: **Tucson 3rd Gen Gathering: Sign up here**

Its been a while but good thing I decided to stop by today ! My car has been in the shop getting a engine rebuild so I should be getting it back today or tomorrow; I took it to George's Cylinder Heads on Euclid off of 22nd St. My engine looked clean the last time I saw it. Anyone know if this place is reputable?? I can make it to the gathering (I swear really this time!!) thats coming up and bring the sodas but I work saturdays and go in at 11p.m. so at what time was this thing gonna happen?, how does Reid park sound? I live in the downtown/south tucson area and dont know of any other parks except the ones around this area which are ghetto so any other suggestions for a park would be cool!

Hey Scaryone were you by any chance in a shopping center in the grant and silverbell area this passed tuesday?? I ate at wingstop and when I left I noticed a red iroc and dude going thru the trunk !

L8R!

Re: **Tucson 3rd Gen Gathering: Sign up here**

Alright a big meeting is too soon for this weekend. I say may 17 at reid park is far enough away that people can plan. How does that sound?

I'm going to post a reminder post on the south west board to see if we can get more people looking at this.

Again what do you guys think about may 17?

My GTA is in a state of coma right now due a to a SES light/fuel pump problem that I'm trying to fix, hopefully I'll get it good to go soon so we can (cough) (cough) schedule a (cough) meet (cough) No seriously! due to the fact that I now have the weekends off temporarily but I should be running real soon. Take it e z.

Re: **Tucson 3rd Gen Gathering: Sign up here**

Thats a little too far for me until I get my car running like a champ. I'm almost on the road though. I finally found a real '89 GTA engine harness which I purchased off of a member on these boards; finally recieved it on my birthday a couple of days ago (what a coincidence lol ) and they will be installed next week along with my new ecm,then I'm good to go. Take it e z guys.

Later,
Phoenix
