No compressor/new problem

Gonna hold out on that compressor for a couple of weeks.

I think the seal on the rear differntial is leaking, I should of told you guys to take a look at it at the meet but I was to focused on all the *** around there. Since we are on the topic I don't think she was wearing any pantys Craig.

Probably get the leak taken care of on friday, it is gonna bring me back down to broke status but I think I will be alright

It looked like about 10 had agreed on going to that summer meet before criag and barry decide to go and **** all over that threads concept!lol

Also how many flyers have you guys handed out? It seems like now that I have them I see less thirdgens!

I think I have handed out about 5.

The diff cover (towards the back --rear bumper) or the front pinion seal (where driveshaft is). If it the cover on rear that a gimme---drain fluid-take it off--clean surface--new gasket (actually not necesary) or silicon--reinstall and fill it back up with rear end fluid. If U have a posi--be sure and use the correct type of rear end fluid made for posi's. If it's the front seal--little more involved bit not that hard--remove driveshaft--remove nut from U joint bracket/saddle--remove seal --install new one--reassemble and top off fluid!

????????????????


OH.....U mean the head count thread--I told TexasLT1 I predict there will be over 20 that say they will attend and probably have about 17 that actually show.--We'll see!

Looks like the count is 12 so far--don't forget Mrs ZAP will have her 87 RS out there too--13 if Larry can get his son out there with his. Past experiance has shown us that a lot won't say they are coming until a week or so before the gig--waiting until they are sure they can make it. Always a couple that just show up unannounced and sometimes a couple that do not post on this board. Whatever # does show, I'm sure we will have a good time!

thanks

Thanks for all the help guys, but as simple as it may seem to you guys to fix that problem, it comes off sounding like rocket science to me since I don't know a damn thing about cars. I gave xtremeiroc (jay) a call yesterday and he said he would help me fix it up, I'm gonna head out to his house tommorow and get it taken car of.

Don't go getting your granny panties in a bunch Barry I'm just bsing around.lol

Yeah, I think regardless of how many people show up we will still have a great time, how many was it this last time? 8? I still had a great time.

Great pics zap89 you pretty much covered the whole meet, we just needed a couple from the carshow. The little camera I had was a friends and he backed out at the last minute so I was left with like a 30 second lesson on how to use the damn thing. I ended up taking a couple of wonderfull pictures of the floor!

Hey Dude,

The first thing U need to get is a floor jack and 4 GOOD jackstands and some basic handtools. U can get all that stuff at Harbor Freight--Cheap! That place does sell some junk, but they have good stuff too and it's still CHEAP!

It's the only way i can afford to do stuff is the cheapest way out--not cutting quality of parts used, but being smart in what and where U spend your money on.

U can get a decent jack + jackstands for less than 100.00 and a starter set of tools--3/8 drive socket metric/american--combination wrenches--scrwdrivers--ETC for less than 100.00 also. U would pay 300.00/400.00 or more (probably WAY more) anywhere else for the same stuff. All there stuff has a lifetime guarantee!

If U save up some money and want to get some basic starter tools--hollar at me and I'll meet U over there some time, and help U out and point U in the right direction.

If/when he comes over for u guys to work on his car,--MAKE HIM DO AS MUCH OF THE WORK AS POSSIBLE--with your expert guidance of course. He will never learn wht's going on if we all keep spoon feeding him, and he will never realize the feeling of accomplishment that most of us have been lucky to experiance!

Ive bought some stuff from Harbor fright tools too. Never forget the time I bought some cheapo side cutters there. The first time I clamped down hard on a little piece of sheet metal, one of the jaws broke off and flew across the top of my pickup.

Personally I would invest a little in the jack stands since your life literally depends on them. I got mine at Oriellys and I don't remember exactly but they werent too bad.

Last time I went to Harbor Freight tools I saw an digital amprobe for like $5.00. I almost bought it just for fun and to see if it would last more than one day

AS I said before they sell some junk, but they have good stuff too! The better jackstands they sell are fine . The cheap little flimsy looking ones are just that!

OH, by the way--I have had one of those cheap little digital amprobe for like $5.00--and it has ben working fine for a couple years now!
