I don't know how many times this has been tried and failed. Either way I am definately in and in fact my shop is located in Hulmeville just north of Philly and could be used as a meeting place if that was so desired.
Lets actually make this one work.. ok?

I've been to Josh's shop. BEWARE! He's just out to insult your intelligence when trying to install fuel injectors while dropping nuts and bolts into places unknown.
I'm in too, don't know what happened the last time we tried to get this goin. But, if it goes anywhere I'm in.

Another amusing anecdote. I found out that the fluid is not trans fluid, its coolant. So somewhere I'm leaking a hefty amount of mountain dew. Oh well, this one I'll try to figure out, no doubt it'll end up under the tree, or next to the trailer etc etc. And you're welcome for the business, its nice that someone knows a good deal about these cars. Just let me know when I'm becoming a pain in the a$$.

I may be interested in a club as well - although I'm not sure how much time I will have - too much on the honey do list.

We do everything... Engines, drivetrain, suspension, Mild to moderate fabrication, welding, chassis set-up, custom nitrous systems, exhaust, and general repairs. We handle both foreign and domestic, but since I always have been envolved with and presently own two third gens myself we know them inside and out.

good deal. lets hope the rain holds off for it. haven't been to one in a few months. the last time though there was a very sick Z06 with custom carbon fiber intake manifold, and everything else you could see on the outside of the block.

Well, we had some issues with the last "lets start a club" over meeting arrangements. From what was discussed last time, formula was ok with hosting a meeting at his shop . I'm working 12 hours a day now so i'm soon going to be able to actually afford getting crap done to the car so i'd be all in for having some sort of get together every first and last saturday or sunday of the month (or more often if people want to).
also, My uncle just got a mig welder and glass bead blaster so i'm learning how to use them ...for doing my own SFC installation and such. Should come in handy when i have to install the replacement exhaust system i'm gonna be getting since the current one basically fell off the car last week. Yay for crappy mild steel + salt water.
anyways, yea i'm in for meeting on the 5th or 6th. (or any other determined weekend) ... I'll be the one in the car with no muffler ...aka. work in progress.
