I saw your car today, its almost done. I bet you can't wait! Time for a wash too, quite the collection of dust.

 

heheh. what were you doin' out there?
yep, was down there last night to see her.
mainly just the intake and accessories left.
could be by this weekend!
no worries on the dust, i'll give it a full detail in/out when it's done.
it was in need of it anyways after sitting all winter too.

 

It is garaged right?

 

yeah, it's always in my 1 car garage.
but just sitting from nov-feb it got a bit dusty.
definitely multiplied since being at bennies since march.

you bring the iroc out there??
i saw terrell last night getting his nissan worked on.

 

I bet the anticipation is killing you Del. Glad to hear she is coming along, can't wait to see her out again this summer. I miss hanging out with everyone and going on those nice summer evening drives. Plus we all want to see what she does at the track. Keep us updated and post some pics.

 

yep, it is killin' me. i'll snap some shots after i clean her up. i want to tint too.
i don't even have high expectations of how fast etc, i just know it will be sweet though.
the new job has taken my mind off it the past month or 2.
but now that the warm weather is here, i can't wait to cruise and race.
screw summer, let's roll next weekend, haha.
most of my other friends don't get out much cruising wise anymore, so i'm usually down to hang with y'all when i can get away.

 

what u getting done to ur car del

 

Primarily, new heads/cam and everything else you'd need to do it right.
Comp 1.6 rockers, Crane double roller, Edelbrock waterpump and a Holley AFPR are the most notable items.

 

the afpr sure stands out. hehe

so del, u want to meet up this weekend? somewhere?

 

if my ride is rollin, sure.
i wouldn't bring the Supra out unless Will wanted to race it in the CFI.
i forgot you guys are gone next weekend, or is the cc gtg just Sunday?

 

When I get my car to look as nice as Deli Sammiches, I wouldn't dream of leaving it in a shop.

It would be in my garage and I would be next to it with my 12ga

Either way bro, I hope it gets done fast!! (and right, duh)

 

just sunday, may 7th. I'd like to meet up, I'll most likely be in the slooooobra

what day you thinking about Del?

 

Cool, maybe an impromptu gtg on Fri the 5th is in order I think.

Don't worry Vin, it's in good hands.
I don't just leave my pride and joy with anyone.

 

I hear ya bro, Bennie's the man!

Time for you to get that hot rod done so we can drag 'em!

 

i'd hope i could make a decent race out of it.
i'm itchin' to drag.

 

ya she looked 98% done when i saw her tonight stopped by the shop and scrounged your old parts lol got that timing cover and water pump

i noticed you still dont have the sensors in the heads ever get that figured out.

 

ok fri 5th lets get up in town. ill drag will along.

 

Since the Black Beasts' presence is mandatory, I will be glad to have my V8 again haha.

 

awesome.
dare we meet around Sunrise area?
definitely need to be on good behavior driving on main stretch of Sunrise.

i haven't been out there this year yet, so i don't know where it's hoppin.
hopefully there's a car gathering somewhere that we can drop in on, and find a place out in the Rancho boonies later.
maybe we just start off at Mel's on douglas and go from there.
comments? suggestions? participants?

i think i'll buy this neon sign Vin, hah.

 

Thant sign is sweet, it is just like the one I posted earlier, and in fact one of my old local bars used to have a lot of vintage neons in it which included that one.

It would be sweet in the garage

 

This Friday, sounds like a plan Del, I am down, in the GTO of course. I think a start at Mel's in Roseville sounds good, then let's take it from there.

 

will you should bring out the CFI one last time before it gets carb'd

 

Cool.
I'll be watching the Kings game that night most likely and won't get out there till about 9.30-10.

 

Sweet.

Terrell, bring the CFI, no way. Then I will just get smoked all night long, as much as I would like to bring it out one last time. GTO is coming out, maybe by then we can have some true runs, hopefully I can shift better, and remember to down shift, lol. Oh, and it's still no guarantee I am not selling the CFI, I will let you guys know.

 

oh sweet. thiers a chance he's not letting it go.

hey will let me know when you wanna do the carb swap and ill be their for you!

 

well, she's home now, finally.
dirty as all hell too.
i'm not used to the new rumble yet, but i think it sounds pretty good.
idles a bit rough, but the throttle response is even better than before.
didn't get a chance for any real good WOT driving yet.
sorry no pics/video yet, maybe after i clean her up i'll get some shots of the engine bay, for those who weren't at the shop.
i think most were though, hah.

 

tony wasnt there, thats all who i can think of.

throttle response i never could understand, i hit the gas and feel it instantly. i dont think ive ever felt bad throttle response though :\

 

Del is going to do his 5 hour detailing service at his house on friday so if anyone wants their ride cleaned and detailed, make an appointment now. hahahaha He's taking a day off just to detail his car. Yup...SHOW-N-GO that's for sure.

BTW, try your A/C make sure it works. I left the A/C machine hooked up from sat. night til monday morning and the gauge did not go down.

 

count me in for the detailing. ill be there fresh n early.

 

Can I come too?I have the day off so I want something to do.I'm lonely all the way up here with no thirdgen guys to hang out with.Maybe I can bring my headers and get some help with the install?

 

ya that sounds good. ill help you install them. just meet me at del's house at around 3pm i think sounds good.

 

lol sounds good del, lets detail steve you can come down and ill help you bang out those headers.

 

don't forget the pizza and soda. I'll be there at 6pm. Okay boys and girls, it's an official GTG at Del garage this friday.

 

Well,final word from Del and I will be there.I wanna see His and Trav's cars again anyway.

 

[QUOTE=porkyzilla] come down and ill help you bang out those headers.

There's the problem. It's gonna leak.... You don't bang headers in foooooh. The proper term is "INSTALL" or "replace". hahahaha

 

The only thing I'm worried about is the y pipe to the cat connection.I want it welded but I guess I could clamp it till I get home.

 

this will be del when he gets older

Extreme Car Detailing

 

i wonder what how he would react to me pulling up in the iroc lol asking for his 61 step car wash!

 

lol.
y'all are crazy.
i seriously could spend a few hours detailing it, but i'm just going to give it a quickie on friday if we're still meeting up in the eve.
i'm viewing houses all afternoon and watchin the kings game at a buddys' in the eve, so count me out on a all day hang out, hah.
i'll be at Bennie's shop in the morn probably tho to charge up the Supra's a/c.

 

Oh well,it was worth a shot.

 

a/c what is that? is that a form of t tops?

 

LMAO.

 

when it's 106*, screw the t-tops.
might as well turn on the heater and have hot air blow.

steve - we are getting together at night, but i'm not sure if you'd want to make the trip just for that.

you betcha. the ultimate goal i'm striving for.
a/c works fine dude, thanks.

 

I'll never delete my A/C. Ever. I love it lol

I drove my '85 for a whole summer without AC. F*CK THAT! Both my '94 and '97 have blown ice cold.. it kicks ***.

 

preach!

i'm selling my heads/cam/timing chain and a nice set of front rotors too if you guys know anybody interested.
rather sell locally to avoid shipping.

heads $100
cam $30
rotors $30(pr.)
timing chain $10

 

u have more rotors? i bought the rears off ya didnt i? i cant remember, gotta find 'em.

 

You bought my rears, still have the fronts.

 

i cant find your rears you sold me

 

rotors are hard to lose bud, you must have a lotta junk in your garage.
they were in white boxes if that helps.
just need to sell off these last L98 parts and a box or two of supra parts and i'll be good.

who's showin' up tomorrow at mel's?
that's like on the other side for me, probably 1030 when i show up.

 

Me and the wife are coming, count us in. Mel's at 10:30 sounds good to me, see you all there. Can't wait to hear and see the car Del.
