I'm trying to go on a Wednesday night as i work Weekends. Hopefully my car will be on the road and ripping 11's in the next week or so. Sorry i couldn't bring my car to the meet but i was there. I was that asian driving that black BMW with 1991-Z-28. I was thinking of july 9th??

 

doubt I'll have a new tranny in by then

it's pointless to race it the way it is.

At the meet I tried manually shifting with no luck, it went to 6500 in 1st gear, so I had to shift right into OD and it just lost all power.

 

i goin

 

me to

 

So you have 1st and 4th?

 

July 9th sounds good. hopefully the weather wont be too humid and the Vette will finally dip into the 12s

 

i have all gears , just i tried to manually shift hoping my failing tranny would shift when i want it to, but no luck, so I just let off the gas and went to OD

 

It's acting an awful lot like you're just low on fluid. Did you check that first? I been there, done that. Makes 'ya feel real dumb

 

yup, i checked it, even put in 1 more qt, lol , maybe I'll just add a few more, if it blows , it will give me a reason to buy a new one,

 

a friend of mine told me to goto transmission masters?!?! i think thats what it's called it's back near hondamanns and tell them to build it under corvette specs. i'll get the guys name tomorrow and let ya know.

 

So what exactly is failing on it...? Did you check the kick down cable?

 

cable is set correctly.

I used to have full manual control of shifting, now it won't shift into 2nd when I try.

When taking off normally, part throttle in OD, it won't shift into 2nd till about 3500 rpms, and then it seems like it shifts right past 2nd into 3rd.

 

Sounds like your loosing and or have already lost 2nd! Time for a rebuild

 

I should be there weather permitting.I'm usually there on Wed's since Thurs is my day off of work & you can usually get alot of runs in since most ppl work Thurs.But last week it was packed since nobody's been running on weekends this yr.BTW I'll be there 2morrow.

i dont think theyre open this Wed (the 2nd). at least thats what the schedule says. apparently they will be open on Fri the 4th... i plan on going down then to see if the Vettes gremlins have disappeared. kinda weird theyd be open on the 4th of July, but oh well... theyre probably wont be alot of people there and i should get a good amount of runs in

 

Well my Z won't be ready, but i'll run my 540i.

 

i am still in for this Wednesday. http://beta.weather.com/weather/loca...ocalUndeclared

the weather forecast hopefully will change.

 

yeah, hopefully there will be no rain

ill be there in my white C4, as will my brother in his red C4, and my girlfriend in her black 4th gen Formula. if anyone here comes out... look for us!

 

depending on how the dealership treats me and gets my car done i'll be there!

Jim lets ride up together

 

Right now, Me, Jay, Jay's room mate, a couple of my friends are meeting at my house in owings mills and we riding up together.

 

What time are you guys planning on leaving? I may come up and meet ya'll! Although that depends on if I figure out what is clunking around at the *** end of the GTA!

 

my group is meeting at my house at 3:45. I'm not far from sykesville, i'm a little past eldersburg, off marriotsville road, which is off of liberty.

 

looks like strong showers tomorrow near track time

if its raining around my house after work i think i am going to just stay home, but we will see.

 

If it does rain tommarrow ( I hope that it doesn't), Then I'm rescheduling to July 23rd. We could do MIR too since they are open every wednesday night for test and tune i think, but they are $30 vs $12.

 

I'll be out of town on business on the 23rd....but we'll get it together sometime!

defrank....you've got mail!

 

We're going down to MIR tonight with a bunch of the shop cars. Hopefully looking for a 9 second pass out of our sponsored car . I think MIR is by far the best track around, even though it's a little bit of a drive.

 

I personally like Cecil better.....but maybe that's because I always runn better when I'm there!

 

i have never been to either, always Capitol. time for a change. stupid weather looks like it going to storm today

 

well we still plannin on goin

 

count me out for tonight these *********** still haven't got my vette in swansons dealership to get fixed. been there since monday and been down since the 25th. they told me to bring it in monday and i'm seriously getting pissed!!!!

 

that sucks Mic, get those bastards on the ball i have a gun

looks like bad weather anyway.


its 4 pm and i just got home work, looks like rain and thunderstorms for around 5 all the way around to midnight i am going to do some stuff around the house now, hopefully some other time.

 

hehehe jim we might need to break out the AK and while we're at it take a 2002 TA for a ride

 

that sucks about your Vette Mad-Mic. WTF is wrong with those bastards? if they couldnt get it in on Monday, why did they tell you to bring it in then?!

the rain is closing in, but im still going to try to make it down... the bulk of the storm is below Cecil, so maybe well get lucky and itll just miss us

 

i don't know but i'm pretty pissed off. i called them on the 25th of june and they told me they were booked up and bring it up on monday the 7th. well when i do get it back the service manager and or owner will get an ear full from me then.

damn bastards this is why i hate dealerships. if it wasn't under warrenty i would of took it to my friends shop.

 

The warranty is the reason they're taking so long. They're putting all of the paying jobs ahead of you. I know how it goes, I worked at a dealership.....for 3 months until I got tired of the BS and quit. They even treat their people like doggy poopy.

 

got all the way to the track today and it wasn't raining. And then i get to the line and it starts raining. Is that BS or what? I wish it would of rained like all day instead of tease me like that.

 

Yup. MIR rained out too. Good thing I got stuck at the shop late and hadn't left for the track yet

 

yeah, same thing happened to my brother (tpivette89) and I. we got there and pulled over by the snack bar to let our Vettes cool off and then it started to rain. they cancelled the night shortly after.

one good thing came out of it though... they were handing out flyers as you came in stating that they will be open for racing eery Wed night from now on. how cool is that?
