Grumpy

Just a reminder of the TA Nationals at Dayton International Airport the 22-24 of Aug..

If your going to be in the area, I'm going to have lots of stuff available for Show and Tell.

Romulator, PPII, DIY-WB, scanners, couple ecm benchs. And if you have any guestions, bring them along too. A note book is also a handy tool to have. Probably will have a portable WB that we'll be able to toss on a car for giggles.

It's generally hot, and not much shade so bring fluids, and a hat.

Look for a White, 91 3/4t GMC PU with a utility bed, and or a GN, that may or maynot be on a trailer with said truck.

Dang nabbit I wish I could be there, what an opportunity! 2000 miles drive just aint happening though. Oh well , this a golden opportunity for anyone in the area.

Grumpy

How far from Tuscon are you?.

I might be meeting up with some folks out that way for a car type event, in the next couple months.

OMINOUS_87

Tucson? LOL, depends how far I wanna stick the gas on the way down! 45 mins to an 1_1/2 hours!

Could it be the Super Chevy Show, NOV 14-16? Ill probably be there anyway if thats the event your talking about. You going to see Dirk or Willie, or is it a GN thing? There are a few crazy fast GNs lurking around up here in Phoenix! Either way let me know, I could round up a few of the locals and head down that way for sure!

CrazyHawaiian

Wish I could go! I would probably annoy you with the ammount of questions I have LOL!!

Dewey316

but it is one really long drive for you crazy!

knoxbonnie

I will DEFINITELY be there.

Will you be there on the 22nd early or late in the afternoon?

Grumpy

I'm figuring on at least showing up, everyday, and then we'll play it by ear depending on heat, and how many people actually attend for what we do.

Things generally kick off about 9ish, and I'm a morning person.

I live 30 mins from the airport so we might just head back here if it's too hot. And there's alot less traffic around here for playing with the WB's.

Some of the guys already have my cell number so getting together other then intially should be a piece of cake.

JP84Z430HP

Dayton eh? Hmm..... I'm gonna have to try to make it there! I have by geekin out trying to get my stuff together to start burning chips, but I haven't gotten it yet ($$$) yet.

I'm sure it would be a good thing to see how someone that's been at it a while does things!

MrDude_1

Hey,

Can someone in the know (dayton area) throw a few hotel names my way that are clean and decent? And where is everyone whos going staying at?

Thanks
Jeremy

Look for hotels in Vandalia, Ohio.

Since it's at the airport, lots of good hotels close by.

Tipp City is just north, Dayton to the south on I-75.

cheers, BW

Grumpy

Red Roof, Holiday Inn, Best Western, all the usuals are within a few miles. Towns local are Vandalia, and Englewood.

CrazyHawaiian

I just flew in from Hawaii and boy are my arms tired!

I'm thinking about making it at this point about 75% sure. How many do you expect?

JPrevost

I'm there. I can bring a wideband o2 and 2 controllers as well as lockers.

Grumpy

From the on and off list mail looks like 6-12.
And a couple remote maybes.

Lost my fuel pump on the Formie today grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Trying to find a walbro to replace the GM pump :-( That way i can get it done this weekend instead of working on it after working on jaguars for 8 hrs lol Gets irritating when its a 100% humidity index outside uggggggggggggggggggggggggh

Heck or high water the mighty mighty Formula will make it there, exhaust prolly sound like garbage and leak but the car will make it lol

3.8TransAM

Hate to post this on board

Grumpy, have u gotten any of my emails i have sent u in the last week or so

Have not ehard back wondering if they made it

thanks
Jeremy

SATURN5

G-man is out of town atm.. will be back Monday or Tuesday.

BW

Ken73

Argh. I really wanted to make it up there with a working PROMinator, but not only are we going to not have one ready, but my car isn't even remotely tuned yet. I've apparently got to adjust the rockers as it's driving the knock sensor nuts!

3.8TransAM

Im on :-)

Got the fuel pump in the fmorie today and 5 min later the regulator diaprhagm blew out lol i hate cars u know that :-(

My exhaust will sound like all heck, but she will be there and so will my lady friend and I. prolly somehwere in the vicinity of 12 -1 on fri afternoon :-) Leaving here hopefully 8 or so fri morning

Im at the Fairborn Hampton (is that a good local as in relation to the nationals)

LAter
Jeremy
bringin laptop for diacom and one for Tunercat R/T, i dont understand all the other fancy stuff yet but getting there :-)
Saturn 5 i cat wait to see your ride or grumpy's Gn for that matter

Grumpy

After the lost weekend in Jersey, this'll be fun.

I'm slipping took 6 burns with a Trofeo running a 8253 with a S/C 3800, and MANUAL tranny to get the fuel really close. LOL

Used Tunercat, and moved the IAC stuff around to get it nicer, was an interesting time. The 8253 is a P4, and the difference from auto to what a manual liked was interesting. Hit some road construction so did a million stop and goes, and had plenty of time to work on it. I was driving, and Scott was passenger, and we just cruised thru all the IAC trying high and low combinations in each area, til I thought we'd gotten the best out of each table.

Having 2 guys, scanner, WB, and a Romulator is really cheating. You can build a calibration in a day, and still have time for catchin the 11 Oclock news.

SATURN5

Thats off I675 near Wright State University. Your closer to me than the Airport.. lol

Take I-675 south to SR 35.. head west to I-75 and head north to Vandalia.

I'm picking up the T400 tomorrow, then have to pull some thrashing to get it installed. Need to relocate the tranny mount and get the driveshaft cut, and bend some cooler lines.. but I'll be there come hell, high water.. BW

Grumpy

Vandalia may not recover..........
LOL

ie afterall they JUST used to Jumbo Jets landing and taking off, not the noise from your car,,,,,,,,

Well infortunately I will not be able to make it. My wife has to work fri and sat and my daughter is not quite self sufficient at 4, (and I wouldn't put you guys or myself thru trying to entertain her )

Hopefully this oppertunity will come up again!

Grumpy

Nope, once in a life time deal.
ugh, drop me a note from time to time off list, as There are other events folks show up for with ecm benchs, WB's and the like.

Grumpy

I'll be there around 9am
Clear skies, look for a GN with ZR-1 wheels.
Probably will be one lot West of the actual Firebird area.

Rain, 91, 3/4t, utility bed GM Pickup, white.

Gray Sweat Pants, tall, overweight, long hair, usually responds to Hey You, or Bruce.

Be there.

I redid one ecm bench, and have loaded various other items for kind of a show and tell for the weekend. Romulator, test bench, scanners, modified ecms, etc.

OMINOUS_87

Anything materialize yet for a Southwest tour Grumpy?

Grumpy

MAYBE!
It's really convoluted, but I might have to make a run to Tuscon.

Not before early Oct.,

Grumpy

To the guys that didn't show, ow well.
for the rest of us having a gas comparing notes, and talking tuning.

Did the Cruise-in thing last night, and consumed ALOT of doses of boost.

Today's fun is gonna be firing up the Romulators, WBs, and tuning.

leirch

bruce, I haven't been able to make it the past few days.. work and such. I am hoping to come down tomorrow(sunday), is the crew going to be in the airport parking lot tomorrow?

thanks

Grumpy

We're meeting in the lot just west of the main lot, and going for breakfast at 10.

Planning to be back 11ish.

then going walk the field and see what's kEWl.

Did some chips today, and surprisingly enough everyone was happy about the results, hmm, imagine that.....
