[242turbo9]

yeah that last thread was a cluster ****. The strip close's at 6pm :-( on the 3rd. Also the google maps route doesnt work and its 170 miles each way, Ehhhh.

[A-Rode]

ok, 340 is to long, we need a new cruise route, or we can just wing it....

[242turbo9]

+1 for wingggg

[A-Rode]

post edited, route is now "we wing it"
Meaning we drive until we want to turn around or until we find lunch

ok guys, check in via this thread i need names and cars,
mike will you figure out the drag strip info/prices/forms/whatever else we may need?

[242turbo9]

ill look into it, ill give em' a ring tomorow.

[Mr. Porter]

post edited, route is now "we wing it"

i like that too. we should drive to the strip, find a local place to eat, go back and leave whenever we want.

[242turbo9]

im checkin out the costs right now, is it just me or does this fourm go down for a day, then come back, then go down again?

cost: $37 test and tune, and they close at 6pm because 'we dont even want to work, its a holiday' I say we cruise for like 3 hours and get back there for 1 or 2pm and bang some gears!

[A-Rode]

ok we have prices...
we meet at about 10 am and cruise for 1 1/2 hours, eat turn around, then test/tune.
every body good?

[242turbo9]

goooooooood, i say we go to lake genevaish area we could even drop into IL on the way back


$50-gas, lunch 5-15$, strip 37$, it sounds like about a 95$ day.

[A-Rode]

ok well that should be worth it for a semi local meet, i have wanted one of these since i joined t-bricks

well were leaving the strip at 6pm so it wouldnt be a late night or anything.

[A-Rode]

yeah, come on down, it seems rare that we have a meet in this area....


Does anyone whos coming happen to have a 940 (non-regina) that they wont need that day? i would like to use the ecu (the right kick panel on the passenger side) in my 240 for that day, its supposed to add a little pep to the car, which would be fun for a meet, i'll return it after we are done

[driven sydeways]

i will have to play it by ear, going to be in milwaukee with my girlfriend at her appt, and union grove isin't too far away, just that my car has a lame boost problem, ( any sort of load at about half boost and it feels like ignition cut) and im not sure if she would wanna spend the day with a bunch of volvo dudes

[2fast242gt]

[Lord Tentacle]

I'm game
I'll bring my e85 burning 91 945

not sure if buzz will come, his print shop often works through holidays

[242turbo9]

maybe you have all your wires touching eachothe like mine were.... u and me both have teh awsome biodegradable wiring harness....

[A-Rode]

Penguin? person? mor people is a good thing

[242turbo9]

no, i called but i got no answer, im going to guess its helmets, long pants and shoes, but idk

how are you gonna race with no shoes? :oops: acutally i dont think u need anything unless ur running under a 13.4.

anyway, no one from indiana coming up?

Free bump, and 2 badass pictures of me with a Pagini Zonta S in HK (BTW, i had just been sleeping for 3 hours becuase i felt sick, got dragged out of bed, and went downstairs to look at this thing)

[242turbo9]

To da Top

[A-Rode]

redturbobrick is in as well!!!!

[242turbo9]

redturbobrick is in as well!!!!



huray, i have 4 850 4 lug steel wheels, if someone wants to buy them, (put snow tires on them, use them as winters) 20$ a rim will take them. Also have a few volvo spares as well. Have 4 K-jet Ecu's too. If anyones intrested i can bring them too the meet!

[A-Rode]

i think those are 93 specific....

no dracos or vigos?

[242turbo9]

i think those are 93 specific....

no dracos or vigos?

ill check on them draco's. And yes there 93-94 specifc (because there 4 lug) i think, forgot to mention that. Also i think i found a 90+ manifold today, if that would intrest someone. Those virgo's the person never emailed me back :grrr: so i couldnt buy them!

[A-Rode]

yeah, if there straight i'll take them... actually all they need to be is good to drive on (ie cant feel the wobble)

[242turbo9]

how much u willing to pay with tires (not mine)? A guy just moved into the shop who paints wheels too if that intrestes you.

[A-Rode]

for dracos with tires,, i'd say $30 each for really good shape

[242turbo9]

ill take a look, but you've got to think about it, its not really worth it to my boss to take the wheels off a running car, and put some others on for 120$

[A-Rode]

i'll give you wheels to put on it, and i'll take he crappy tires to...
i can come and swap them all myself one-day, it'll take like 40-60 minutes....

here the deal i'll make
-i'll take them at a set price
-i'l bring steelies with tires and put them on
-i'll do all the work
cool?

this is good for the thread, free bump...

were doing this meet rain or shine
