So this is been buggign the hell of me... it just occur to me that mehr friend look like... Lee Pace. Even talks like him. Anywho... my random talk of the day.

[anchaleena]

hi all,
just want to say thank you to everyone for coming out sunday it was good meeting everyone! also a BIIIG thank you to everyone that helped work on the car sunday day/night... ending up towing it back so it wouldn't just sit in jeff's driveway and so i can finish up my interior ;p

[silversleeper]

great pics man!

i wish i made it out sooner, but hangover > me. too bad about the car that wouldn't run/leak coolant/spew smoke everywhere/make really loud shreiks when the AFM plug was pulled out. i hope u guys are able to find out what the problem is. i really think its something simple, but who knows. Jam Master Jeff will figure something out I'm sure.

BTW, Jeff, the driveshaft is smooth up to 110mph... damn those gears are short though. I can't thank you and everyone else that helped out enough. I've def gotta be more proactive and get my ass out there sooner next time. Missed out on some sick whips!

[vivalegreg]

damn those are hella cool photos, and a lot of them too!

here are the ones i got that are posted in the other thread in case people get lazy and dont feel like opening that one up, hehe

as far as staying late was concerned...i left around 10 oclock....and got home around 11...there were still people wrenching when i left :P

[e30_325es]

It was great meeting everyone. I didn't realize I drew that big of a crowd working on the vert!

Amit, I'm glad I got that driveshaft back well enough. Glad you like the gears!

End of October possibly for the next one?

Oh yeah, Amit (silversleeper) left around midnight.

mechanical

well, took the manifold off again, and put everything back on... realise quite a few things...

Bitch tube - the washer for the one going to the manifold bottom was missing. AKA vacuum crazy leak... wasn't there because ... rohan took it off... so I dont know if it was there before or if it flew out and he put it somewhere... or what ever it is... NO GOOD... hahaha

Intake - bolt was wrong, so gasket was squished... now fixed

Boot - got a new one... no need to say more

Connectors - I had them right the first time around

White smoke - still coming out when I put it in, but only on warm... however... the car runs very fine... not rough at all... it might just be a bad o2 and the mystery leak from the exhaust header was there first day... when I got the car back running again... BUT.... the next day it was gone and its only comign from the tail... it might just clean its self up...

Second day fire up actually was fine, until fully warm and puff a little bit of smoke. Doesn't smell like coolant and the level is fine... so :)

Gonna get a new o2 and try... it would seem that it would run quite rough if it was HG.

Interior will be done in 2 days :P LV interior FTW hahaha.

OCTOBER end would be great to have a second. End of the season meet.. .

We should have another prior, like end of this month, or early next one as just a regular meet.

Woah, is that Rohan?

Looks like you guys had fun!

[ak96ss]

Crap, I had no idea you guys were there that late. It was a good time, wish I hadn't had to leave! I also wish I could've brought the 318is... :)

[z50_Jumper]

Some crazy body work on this one, i like the origionality of it.

[ak96ss]

Thanks, I like the yellow paint, too... oh, wait.

You probably weren't talking about my Daytona, were you?
