Saturday.

[Lunar Limelight]

So whos all going? And how many people are you bringing?

Me, Chub Chub (Ricky. the newest MC memeber), Brandon (random tag-a-long).

I'm making a cake.

Oh does anybody have some stock foglights for a 99 that Chub can buy? He says he needs a cover, I didn't get a close look, so bring the whole thing. Thanks!

I'll make a name list.

[Jorgen]

will just be me...

[ClaymoreWW]

me and tristan (younger son).

--george

[EternalOne]

Just me this weekend...

E1

[MaverickFlyer]

Just me too!

[jrak123]

Sorry I haven't been around much, work has been killer this week among dealing with other stuff too.

You guys can show up any time Sautrday, I should be around all day. I figured as far as food is concerned: I am going to pick up a few things soda and what not and then we can decide what everyone wants to eat. I was thinking if everyone chipped in $5 toward food that would be great. Also is people could bring some chairs. I have 5 or 6 but some more would be great.

No one should need to bring any tools, I should have that covered :biggrin: with my box and my brothers everything will be covered. Including many specialty tools. I also have 2 polishing wheels and some nice waffle pads and a wool pad that I have to throw in the wash, if someone wants to wheel their car.

Since Ryans engine isn't ready the swap isn't going to be happening. So in that projects place here is what we have going on as far as I know, but feel free to bring parts you want installed..... Installation of Mavericks boxed sub frame and new Roush sway bar, installation of George and Lisa's strut bars. Ron's wheel bearing.

Other plans I hope to include after we finish Mav's sub frame is... I am going to do a quick how to so people can do this themselves as well as boxing the control arms and stiffening the toe arms. If anyone else whats this done Saturday please let me know, I will need to pick up some more material, and the cost to have it all done will be about $50(if we don't get new bushings)

[jrak123]

Also, if time permitting, and sobriety.... I will be doing a Dif swap into a MTX 75 too. I think this would be a nice how-to so people know how easy it is.

[jrak123]

Ha ha ha. I just keep adding.

For anyone who wants or needs wheel bearings replaced I can do that too. Any custom metal fab needing to be done? No problem. I have a benchtop drill press, 12" disc sander, Pan brake(is someone brings diamond plate we can make some floor mats) Welder, grinding and sanding tools. 12 Ton hydrolic press. You name it we can do it this day. For some of the larger projects showing up a little earlier would be a plus... George... Bring your cams just in case. If you can get there pretty early we can do it.

[jrak123]

One more.. If anyone has special Mod requests just PM me so we can arrange parts we need to have on hand.

[Excelcier]

Well, tools you DON'T have are my electronic tools! Are we doing your flasher install? Will you have my stuff back from powder coating for Saturday?

"stab-o-shock" ??????

[jrak123]

No powdercoating yet. True about electronics stuff. I do have a nice butane soldering torch and a pretty good DVOM. but very little wire stuff. Yeah we can do my light flashers too. I still need to get a switch. I may just get a cheapo one for now until i install a membrane switch panel.

Stab-o-shock... that is the little shock you got for your front roll resistor.

[Excelcier]

Bingo, that's what I thought you were reffering to but wanted to be sure.

I'd also like you to give my suspension a good look-over and a short drive to get a feel for it. I'm thinking I need to do some suspension work.

[jrak123]

No problem there is a nice curvy road right out side of my neighborhood

[Excelcier]

Don't forget about a few sets of lug nuts being changed if John gets them in time!

[jrak123]

oh right and Ron wants to play with some shiny new nutz.... can't forget that

[MaverickFlyer]

I think Ron means he wants to play with some Studs!

[EternalOne]

Yup, I called my H&R guys yesterday, they should be coming from the Ohio warehouse, which means they might be here today, or tomorrow.

E1

[LadyX]

[jrak123]

either way...... I think Ron just wants some twig and geggle berries :cover: what a dirty old man!!!!

[jrak123]

my goodness, this will be one interesting bbq...somebody will have to take lots of pictures and video for me!
Hubby not letting you come Jenny? I wanted to have some of your famous Jello-shots

[Excelcier]

Jason and Mark.... you guys must be of the gay! hehehehe

[LadyX]

Jason. I can't go, because there's nobody to stay with the puppy, and he doesn't have his license yet, so he can't come across the border. :cry: As for jello...you'd have to come here and get some..I can't bring that across the border!!! But, don't lose heart, I'll be bringing supplies, and preparing jello AT cougarfest. One of the reasons I wanted to go early. It takes longer to set with the alcohol ;) aANNDDD I'l be bringing some with me to CanAm...if you and Shelley decide to tag along..

[jrak123]

Well... ****.... I was really hoping you could come.. Have Pierre and his wife watch the puppy. Hell make Pierre come and have his wife watch the puppy. Puck is like completely non exsistant

[LadyX]

They'll be busy with their toddler, and finishing the pond, and their 2 cats, I'm sure.

[MaverickFlyer]

Yeah Puck hasn't been on for ages. :confused:

[LadyX]

he's a busy guy.

[jrak123]

They'll be busy with their toddler, and finishing the pond, and their 2 cats, I'm sure.

I understand. just sucks that you can't make it. You have a cool ass husband and I have only met you breifly before. It'd be nice to hang out with you guys more often

[LadyX]

[Excelcier]

[LadyX]

[jrak123]

whatever... I can't win with you Canucks!!!! I get called a leg humper for complementing Maya, and now I am getting crap for saying that it's would be nice to hang out with you guys more often. :rolleyes: :rofl:

[LadyX]

no no no!!! :kiss: I was gagging at ron's blushing... I would LOVE to hang out with you. And your daughter even..she seems fun. :) heh, we should go to a mall or something :tongue:

[Jorgen]

So what time are people really showing up here? I have nothign much to do with my day, might show a house in the morning to see if I can get some stuff in the positive cash flow instead of negative, Other than that I plan on being there awhile so other people give me a time frame so I don't show up and have jason try to molest me while calling me nick.

[BigBalledOX]

Yeah, what time do you want everyone to show up?

[Lunar Limelight]

no no no!!! :kiss: I was gagging at ron's blushing... I would LOVE to hang out with you. And your daughter even..she seems fun. :) heh, we should go to a mall or something :tongue:

I wanna go to the mall.....:cry:

Lisa loves shopping.

[EternalOne]

whatever... I can't win with you Canucks!!!! I get called a leg humper for complementing Maya, and now I am getting crap for saying that it's would be nice to hang out with you guys more often. :rolleyes: :rofl:

Gee, I was only gonna comment that I thought you were trying to soften Ron up for some action on Saturday. ;)

E1

[ClaymoreWW]

Will bring cams and covers. Maybe you can figure out why I idle at 1700. I did buy a new TPS, too. Picked up and installed body parts today...pics later. I was supposed to get a new camera Friday, but I will be surprised if it arrives.

I will get there early - maybe 10 - if I can talk tris out of taking team baseball pics ;) (mean ol' dad!)

Do I need to bring a case of beer? If so, what brand?

--george

[Saleen Cougar]

jason you still have those valve covers?

[jrak123]

Sure do Mark, sitting on the shelf

[jrak123]

I figure we can pick all that up when we see who all shows up, there is a party store within walking distance. I was thinking about a keg(labatts for the canucks)

[MaverickFlyer]

Yeah, none of that piss water you Americans call beer.

[BigBalledOX]

Mmmmm . . . I haven't had Blue in more than a year . . .

[LadyX]

:cry::cry::cry: I'm missing all the fun

[jrak123]

Hmmmm maybe I should set up a gnome cam... Maybe this is something Ron can help me with.

[LadyX]

I bet it IS something Ron can help you with...

[MaverickFlyer]

I just remebered I still need to install my mil's Ron. My one O2 is still unpluged since the last time was down there.

[jrak123]

That wont be a problem Mark.

[MaverickFlyer]

Jason, do you have an O2 socket? We couldn't get it out at Rons trying to use a crescent wrench.

[jrak123]

Sure do mang! Which O2 is it?

[Smitty2430]

I have a Roush Rear Sway bar that needs to be installed if there is time. If i could watch the other one being put in, I can do it at home.

[jrak123]

We should have time to do it for ya smitty. We can even box your subframe and control arms too. I am going to autozone to pick up some energy suspension bushings for mine and Marks car. Let me know if you want me to get some for you too. only cost's about $30 or so

[Smitty2430]

I picked up Bat poly bushings already, we'll see how they work first. But thanks anyways.

I dont know how late puma1 and I are going to be able to stay so maybe we can box in everything some other time. Does the the rear subframe need to be droppped to box it all in?

[jrak123]

Yeah, I am going to have a spare one there to box. I Boxed one for Mav. and then I will have his to box for the next person in line. I have 2 sets of control arms to box in ans swap out for people too.

[jrak123]

Oh and the bushings I was talking about are the ones for the end links not the bar mounts it's self

[Smitty2430]

Oh ok. I think im good with everything right now, but I will take you up on your offer for boxing everything at a later date when we can stay longer.

[jrak123]

Ok cool! I plan on boxing it anyhow so I can show everyone what it takes to do it. I want to do a bunch of how to stuff for people that are a little scared to take projects into their own hands. Like taring apart a MTX-75 and replacing the dif. I may do a throttle body optomization too.

[jrak123]

I was thinking about picking up some diamond plate tomorrow too to make some floor mats. That is if people show some intrest in doing that.

[MaverickFlyer]

Sure do mang! Which O2 is it?

Both lower ones.

[jrak123]

Oh ok, those shouldn't be too bad to take car of.

[MaverickFlyer]

Oh ok, those shouldn't be too bad to take car of.

No, they're easy to get to, It just makes it easier to splice in the mil's with them out of the car.

[jrak123]

gotcha. I am really looking forward to this meet/BBQ sounds like a lot of stuff is gonna get done that day

[Excelcier]

Jason, unless you're running a hosted webpage already, setting up a "gnomecam" won't be possible in a short order without spending hours setting it up.

[jrak123]

oh...... well I guess that's out then.

[Lunar Limelight]

I would go for some diamond plated floor mats *nudge nudge* :)

[jrak123]

I would go for some diamond plated floor mats *nudge nudge* :)
maybe we'll save this one for the next meet. I would need at least 6 people in on this to pick up the material. I could do them for about $30 for just the 2 fronts and $50 for front and rears

[EternalOne]

Hey Jason, shoulda let me know earlier since I JUST came from the bodyshop where I have 3 full sheets of diamond plate sitting...unused. ;)

E1

[jrak123]

wwell john, next time you are out therer pick it up and I will make some mats for everyone. I am going to call Metal mart and get pricing for a sheet. I may just go ahead and pick some up anyhow.

[Excelcier]

Hehehe... sounds like a group buy! I could go for a new set too. Mine are old and scuffd.

[jrak123]

Ron, we can just clean yours up when you are here saturday. Diamond plate usually cleans up pretty well. Me I will just have mine powdercoated eventually

[Ronrazz]

Id get some plates front and rear.

[MaverickFlyer]

I never understood the infatuation with Diamond plate floor Mats???:confused:

[EternalOne]

Me either personally. I think you slide too much. I need that grip on the floor. ;)

Anyways, Jason, I think I got the sheets for about $30 each in Jackson, and I can get a better price on quantity...

E1

[Ronrazz]

I never understood the infatuation with Diamond plate floor Mats???:confused:
Shiney :cool: thats all it takes for me.

[Excelcier]

Hmmm.... powdercoating.... Jason.... that could be a good addition to the same colors as the other stuff... hmmmm...

If you guys want to use mine as a template to make it easier on Saturday, they're in the car.

[BigBalledOX]

So what time is this shindig starting on Saturday?

[jrak123]

noonish Ryan.... but ppl can show up whenever.

[Smitty2430]

Is anyone looking for a Freedom Design front strut bar? I have one and can bring it Saturday if someone is interested. This is brand new and has never been mounted!

I dont have any pics but it comes in the original packaging with all original hardware. As an added bonus, I had the red ends sandblasted off so I could paint them body color.

$80 takes it!

[BigBalledOX]

I WAS JOKING! ;)

[EternalOne]

FYI, consumer GPS and satelite images are FAR less than what I had access to in the Military. The resolution on my satimg shots were able to read the lettering on a persons hat, or catch the license plate # of a car passing by. ;) Tie that with the milsat gps and I could monitor a persons position down to a 1m resolution.

[Lunar Limelight]

Its funfetti and it's Marks fault.

It should be good. What cake isn't good? My cougar out of frosting failed. :cry: I'm no artist.

[jrak123]

It's the thought that counts lisa!

[EternalOne]

Well, just woke up. Gonna hop in the shower and grab something to eat and I'll be omw. Just Google-mapped the directions and it looks like about a 40minute drive for me -- be there in a bit all... :D

E1

[BigBalledOX]

:wave: Morning.

We will be under way within about twenty minutes. Hopefully the Royal Canadian Mounted Yaksmen don't detain us at the border. I think its about an hour's drive.

We'll see you all in a little bit.
