hehe.

Hell no! :)

Subject to change when Matt finds out how much food is leftover and what drunkards are willing to pay for food out of trailers.

Is this open past bar close?

Hell no! :)

[Funkmasta]

I have decided we will BBQ at the hotel.
We plan to do this Friday and Saturday nights so come on over guys.

What if you just pull outside the fairgrounds to a secret e30 location. Or you could just put a stripper pole in the trailer.

By the hotel I mean my hotel which is Motel 6 on State St. We plan to do this Friday and Saturday nights so come on over guys.

Well, we have 48 hours to make a 13 hour trip... so it should be doable. ;)

I only have a couple concerns: (the first 2 tributed to a bad trans)

1: the shift linkage STILL hits the guibo in 5th, I'm hoping that it wears its small groove in the guibo and we make it.
2: Now that the shift linkage is tight as a virgin mary, we can get it into 2nd and 4th. Won't be surprised if I only have R 1 3 and 5 for the return trip lol. Once we shoehorned that thing in, there was NO WAY that we were going to take it back out. Freaking busted ass transmission. Grrrrrrrrr.
3: Cooling system - Not yet been put "to the test". This is an area of concern on most M30 swaps. However, I think if this is going to be our problem, she will rear her ugly head before we get out of the Portland Metro area.
4: Exhaust - I may be deaf by the time I get down there.
5: Power steering - another wonderful unknown. Fortunately, PS is a luxury.

and 6: We can address any problems at the 300 mile mark in Yreka :D

That helps.

[Funkmasta]

^ You're the man. 10 miles on an engine swap and you're driving it to SoCal!

It goes without saying but don't forget lots of tools, spare parts, and a jack. :)
