Remember the real Orlando meets? This is a call for you to attend October 19-21

[isaac]

Let's have one of those again. I'm talking a real, full blown Turbobricks style meet, right in Orlando. Last time we left off with those, we were at 10.0. Remember these guys?

http://www.pbase.com/volvoisaac/image/49834585/large.jpg

Let's call this 11.0. It's about time we had another one. It's been damn near a year, the protracted dearth of which has been rendered only worse by a few attempted pathetic facsimiles of the real deal.

That said, I'm putting out a call to get the original VFBG back together. It's about damn time I saw a few guys again who've been MIA for months or years. Kyle, Cody, Mike, Steve, Jordan, you've been in hiding for a while. I want the weirdos to come out of their caves too. I want to finally meet and maybe have a fight to the death with Terrance. I want to barbecue meat and drink beer.

It'll be centered around a house, a weekend, a drag strip, a shop, and maybe even a dyno day. Barring inevitability, there will be at least one very fast redblock powered Volvo there. It'll be worth checking out.

I'm guessing this can happen sometime late this month or maybe even October. We can nail down a date when people make their availability known.

So who's down?

[Nick]

Alrighty gentlemen. This **** is going down based out of our pad. Plenty of parking (which has been an issue in the past for OM's) on the street and theres no neighborhood association to worry about. We've got plenty floorspace for sleeping bags and a decently sized garage. As for bathroom/shower use; be respectful, bring your own crap, don't make a mess.

Plan on showing up to my place on the 19th. Anytime this day will be good, but afternoon is better cause I have a class at 11:00 (that I'm going to probably end up skipping). We typically leave for the track around 5:00. My roommate has an air compressor and airtools, but be aware that you may need to wait in line, so try and have your **** ready to go before you get here. We have an AAP and Zone very close to us if you need parts or oil (EricF).

5329 Cypress Drive
Winter Park, FL 32792

OK, The driveway doesn't hold more than a few cars, so everyone will have to park along the street. No neighborhood drifting please; theres kids around, neighbors get pissed, and theres cops everywhere. Oh, and the street directly in front of my house is reserved for my roommates (they're putting up w/ this ****).

Website for the strip: http://www.speedworlddragway.com/

OK, for drag racing, they're starting to become more picky. Last time I went, you had to be wearing long pants to run or ride along, so plan accordingly.

Afterwards, the usual shenanigans will ensue at my place. No real plans, we'll just do whatever.

Saturday morning will likely start with breakfast at Denny's or something. LKQ run is definitely possible, as well as dyno time. Were still working on details for Saturday. I'm going to find out about CFL Turbo for some dyno time. From what I hear, they're cheap for dyno runs, but you don't want them tuning your stuff. They're rather famous for blowing up engines. Saturday night will probably include going downtown. We'll just play it by ear.

Sunday, you freeloaders need to be outta here!

Things you need to bring:

Sleeping bag/pillow
Toiletries
Money for food
Money for gas
Spare parts (whatever you're going to break)

I may be down dependant on the date. Kenny and myself need to get out of the gump for a weekend..

I'm game for insanity! literally. How bout Oct though? gf is coming the end of this month so I gotta get **** ready.


p.s. i officially only have one seat in my car now so.....


mike (as usual)

[240Psycho]

Isaac, when i see you post in the events section it makes me so happy.

So, yes. Yes i will contribute to your meet of the Volvos.

And Mike looks like a damn bum in that picture, no better then me i guess and my faceless appearances on camera. Ill throw some money your way for hosting it, as we all should.

[EricF]

I will arrive, and in style.

There will be wondrous foods and beers the likes of which have not been witnessed since the last Orlando meet. I will have two cars, maybe one running. One by-stander may drive one of said cars, maybe.

The usual hooligans will be called forth, and though none of them has a Neon any longer, hooliganism will still be at all-time highs.

The track will be devastated, and the rivers will run red... With.. Wine...

[JHEIII850Turbo]

oh hellz yeaaahhhh. Barring transportation issues (can't drive stick for another 4 weeks) and the S70 engine should be out of the machine shop in hopefully less than 4 weeks. Doooo itttt!!

[tacogremlin]

Definitely down! I think I missed the last "real" meat due to my car being killed that night. The 245 has been pretty good lately, and will probably be getting a fresh coat of wax this weekend. October is good, anytime is good for me except the night of the 12th. The more notice the better so I can have arrangements made for the kids. The wife will probably want to tag along for this, as she was the reason I went to Orlando last time in the gas guzzling 745. If there's anything I can do to help out with things, I'd be more than happy.

[MrMarley]

count me in :)

one of my only regrets is not learning of tbricks sooner,
as i've seen some crazy pictures on the boards from past meets :twisted:

i know all the best titty bars & watering holes in town, lol ...

plus i can offer my mobile DJ services free of charge as well!
and of course i'll pitch in on fancy beer and bbq goods ...

let's make it happen, cap'n!
~marley

edit: i "host" a couple of nights downtown at some clubs, so if a crazy
night on the town is in order, i can facilitate that too ...

haha, looks like i need to check "events" more often! seems like whenever i check there's nothing going in FLoriduh, nice to know stuff still happens ...

i'm definitely into making it out to some meets, as i'm still relatively new (less than 2 years) to this whole sub-culture of viking power ... and i keep getting more obsessed with it the more i learn ... can't wait to meet some like-minds!

I told you, she wont turbo it until this engine dies(and she says it has to be of natural causes:twisted: ). When it does die she's fully in favor of going the way of the volvette. I'd like to turbo it now, but I think I can hold out for some twin turbo V8 bidniz:oogle:

We have like a million people in Tampa and Orlando, why don't we hang out more often? I'm in Orlando like every goddamn weekend haha

funny, none of you were out on State Rd. 60 (Gulf to Bay also I believe) this past weekend. I made it out and I live in Ft. Laud.


going across I-4 is a breeze so you tampa guys don't have an excuse...other than death...and I'll need that submitted in writing before you die.

If in Oct. what venue are we looking at? I'm game can also throw some $$$ at the general proceedings.

This is why the GT must run... Kyle, make sure you bring your own tow strap this time so we don't have to use the one from the GT's engine bay.

If the GT runs, I promise to try my hardest to break the M46 or get arrested trying..

[Steve-O740]

Oct. 21st would be good for me..... now I just need to get some sort of Volvo running weather it be the 242 turbo, the 745 turbo or the S8N 40. Hopefully something will happen with this its been a while since we've had a really meet. VFBG for life:cool:

[EricF]

Finally fixed the boost gauge reading in my 244 the other day... I am rather pleased to know the boost level it was at :-D

I think the same boost level with the 531 and B cam will make the track a scary proposition.

[isaac]

I'll check to see how the 21st works for me. At this point, I have no idea, but it helps to push the meet back to help build it to epic proportions. Having a DJ would be badass.

As would having it at Nick's house, were he to convince Andres and the new roommate about it. The house is definitely well sized for house parties, has a garage with full power tools, and the driveway is good to hold upward of 8 Volvos, plus the street.

Oh come on girls, no need to cry. One day Sylvanna and I will appear. On that that day, a light mist will hug the ground and cool air will brush against your napes. The sky will shine with a brilliance before unseen, things will bloom and women will coo with satisfaction. All this and more merely from the roaring of Sylvanna's engine.

Until then, keep doing what you're doing you're doing. You're all doing just fine BTW.

As for me, I've BT & DT scene so don't be upset that I'm not soiling my shorts with excitement. And what do you expect from a guy that's "pushing 40" (as if it's a bad thing Ike?) with 20+ years of road trips in cars / on motorcycles, organizing events for a motorcycle club that had the blessing and protection of the Red and White (!) on the West Coast, rallys from Cabo to Vancouver, track days and schools, rides, drunken wheelie contests, and mods, speed runs with mates along the coast south of SF, 800K burnouts on 4 different bikes, 2 head on collisions with cars, very un-official "timed" runs between two cities that will go unnamed, hangin' out with the Yoshimura Superbike team of the late '80's, ad infinitum......

That said, I'd like to go, but what are guys going to be doing that I haven't allready? :e-shrug:

So once again, sorry, but I've got plans almost every weekend before here and the end of the year. And far too much to do between M-F besides. I think they call it having a life. :roll:

For those of you that aren't wound too tight, enjoy the weekend.

Things


Idea is to meet face to face with those whom you spend so much time around online. It's not some quintessential track day or parking lot meet with hundreds of waxed and polished rides which have plaques in front of them or mirrors on the underside of the hood. It's a more familial atmosphere where people are encouraged to bring their cooky running projects that everyone else may scoff at to meet with like minds and gather input, support and encouragement from the few people who can appreciate exactly what they have put into their cars.

In addition to cooking fine foods, drinking great beers, trading most excellent stories in a very laid back setting sometimes in the foreground of said project cars which are at times actively being worked upon by their owners and friends alike, and generally just being around cool people who understand you and your car and doing fun things for an entire weekend.

Good turbobricks meets are made by the downtime, the parties, the eating and drinking, dynos, shows, drives, etc only bring heads to populate these in-between times. Dyno and track days are nothing without the connections and friendships that the meets produce.

(also I am the bomb at cooking fish among other things, and probably will be cheffing the meet possibly with Mr. Andres...)

A good turbobricks meet is something everyone passionate about a Volvo project should experience.

By that he means you have an awfully tight schedule for a dude who changes jobs every four months.

By that he means you have an awfully tight schedule for a dude who changes jobs every four months.

If you had half the intelligence and awareness of things as you proclaim, you'd know that IT can be rather treacherous. Throw in a little drama from my f'ed up wife and pehaps one may not be so quick to judge a situation they have no knowledge.

Or are you just upset about my diatribe?

[BDKR]

...shizzle...


Eric, you don't even have to explain those things to me. My house in Santa Cruz used to be host to our regular "every 6 weeks" grub sessions that would see 40+ club members over, just hangin' out, food for days, and general wam-and-fuzziness. We were freinds and we spent time together. I promoted that sense of community amongst us and did everything I could to continue. That's way that club now has at least two chapters and over 300 members in Central Coast California now (San Francisco - Santa Cruz) and sister clubs as far north as Vancouver (Grimly Fiendish Scooter Club).

But evenstill, it has nothing to do with what you guys are or are not going to do.

That said, my rant was about that little bundle of nerves Ika that seems rather strangely upset when people don't show up to his planned get togethers.

1) I don't EXPECT my freinds to do anything. I want them to kick it with me because they WANT to kick it with me. Not because they're guilted or e-coerced into it.

2) If they can't, that's fine. I've found that they're more willing to want to make it the next time around if my response is understanding and accomodating.

3) In spite of my freinds / associates troubles, I hold them in high regard! That said, if they can't make it to something I planned, I'm not going to begin a childish campaign to call names and get in jabs here or there.

Try to read everything I said in there. There are a couple of things I wrote that are worthy of mention.

1) I wish I could go
2) Enjoy your weekend

Should'nt those two things really be the most important?

If they're not, then is there some internet pride male sh1t going on here? If that's the case, you can be leader of the Florida Pack Issacc. It really doesn't matter to me. I wasn't after it anyways.

OTOH, if you (Ika) want to match credentials of who's been where / done what / with whom / on what, I garuantee my list will be longer then yours. You're a puppy! Don't bark up the wrong tree!

I've been listening to your little jabs for aeons now and have just let them go. After this thread, I'll continue to do so. But for now, I'm going to call you out to grow up. This just might be a good time to stop being so full of yourself. ;-)

If you can get a trailer that can haul three cars behind the durango, we're in business! :-P You need to get over here and listen to my rear end(that could be taken the wrong way) so we can make it a two car trailer. I got that Harvest Moon and Guinness waiting :rockon:

I am still trying to confence the boss at work to let me have that Sunday off. Hope y'all don't mind if any of the GA crew comes along.
So what the plan? Show up Sunday, catch a few Z's and/or fix a few V's then dyno and strip Monday?

Adam

Should be prepping cars for the track Friday (the 19th?), running at the track Friday (tech in starts at 6, runs start at 7), probably eat somewhere after that. Saturday is either dyno and/or BBQ, followed by possibly hitting up the downtown corner meet depending on what people want to do and who's been drinking and what-not.

Saturday night will likely be the big partyish type thing, chockload of tomfoolery.

Sunday will be nice greasy hungover breakfast somewhere, fixing cars so they will make the rides home ("fixing cars so they will ______" is generally a common theme throughout the meet), and anything else.

It's usually a pretty busy weekend, but there are a few options at the times that aren't the track which we can choose from. There are excellent places to take pictures, but the "picture drive" has never really been a theme at Orlando meets of the past.

I don't know what I was thinking when I said the weekend of the 21st by the way, that makes no sense. We will have a concrete date very soon, stay tuned. Oct 19-21 is the leanings but I wouldn't quit your job to get that weekend off just yet.

GA folkers I'd say are encouraged to come, but I'm not hosting the meet this time (barring any "uh please don't come" posts, I think that's probably the general sentiment here).

[240Psycho]

Mikes both gay AND slow, i vote we lock him up for the majority of the meet.

And Jordan, Steve volvo is a bit of a horrible nightmare of pain and confussion, thus the nickname satan 40

Oh and my 240 has NOT ran since the last orlando meet. This week makes 1 year of non-running 240

Might be at Sebring I believe that weekend in the race car. See how daytona goes later this month. I'd love to bring the wagon out to the drags one night with everyone but It's gonna have to be on a Wednesday night. Weekends are all full from now till the end of the year.

*edit* yep confirmed it. SARRC race on the Sebring Club course. I'll be down there. Shame because I just ordered everything to get the wagon running today!

Dude, you can't just "not make it" to a meet that's 5 minutes from your damn house. If you really want to make it to the meet, you'll brave the 2 mile commute.

Two or three times that I drove 500 miles to the SE meets I was working 3-4 jobs simultaneously and going to school full time.

Turbobricks meets are about having a good time doing turbobricks stuff. If turbobricks stuff isn't your idea of a good time, then don't bother showing up. I know it'll be well worth it though.

[940 T.U.R.B.O]

Ummmmmm......hey Nick.....would open downpipe, be too "noisy" for your neighborhood?

I can take the whole day or half day off on Friday so I am flexible as long as nothing blows up at work.

[Nick]

Open downpipe is no problem. I just request that nobody romp in the neighborhood. Dont park in front of someone's driveway. Park facing the correct direction on the street (almost had my wagon towed for it pointing the wrong way). If we need to, we'll spread the cars out some... theres plenty of side streets to leave cars on if it comes down to it.

There will only be problems if someone is stupid enough to cause them.

Donny, we need to get together and get that cam in. I think I'll try to swap turbo's also so I was gonna ask if i could uses some driveway space, we could make a day of it. (beer on me)

I will probably go to the meeting. I hope I can finish a few performance mods in my car -- new headliner, clean up the inside, empty the trunk, put some rear hangers in the muffler -- and I should be ok.

Kyle, what is wrong in the 240 now?

About Steve, should we just tow his car to ORL (Satan? Wagon?) so everyone can try their hand on it?

For the record i hate tuning.

Im not gonna lie, that was the fastest stock 940 iv'e ever seen. I guess when you push 20 PSI through a 13C somethings gotta happen.:-P

Date to be determined... This weekend or next I think (well, if I get the boat this weekend, the next will be difficult to slate for car time-- having a boat nearby and all). There are only 3 remaining weekends before the meet, so cars better get running soon fellas!

I just need to clean up and drill for oil lines my old B21F, then throw it in the car. A full weekend of work, extra hands appreciated... But take care of your own cars first.

I think we're going to start collective mass work (i.e. serious sawzalling, painting, welding, etc) on the secret blue 245 on Thursday if you can get that day off too...

And yeah, the 531 went on the 242 with a B cam and the B21F (should be around 9-9.1:1 CR?), mech distributor still, R injectors and GT2871... Should be very amusing while the transmission is still together (think 25-30 psi and lots of timing and octane).

Vtec just kicked in was written in shoe polish on the window of my 35,975 miles Honda Element when I took it in for a warranty 3rd gear synchro replacement :lol:

Mike, let's put the 15G on your car. Do it!!!!

GT took a turn for the worse, may not be at the meet

[matt b]

:-(
Engine took a dump ?

[EricF]

Finally got it back together all the way and started it, pissing oil out of its ass... have the tranny dropped now, going to grey RTV the hell out of the gasket around the rear main housing and see how the rear main is seated, clean everything off well with brake cleaner and put it back together. It may make it... Last night though that was at like 2+ a.m. so didn't think I was going to bother fixing it.

My time to work on the car between now and the meet is practically zero... May have to re-think my plans of painting it the Thurs before.

[Steve-O740]

I'm still gonna try and make it for at least one day for the meet but at the moment I'm lacking a volvo to take. I have the wagon running pretty good now and all I need is to fix a break line and get a title.

[Nick]

K, Steve, just drop the kids off at soccer practice before you head out.

[Krepotkin]

com'on dude, its not that bad, considering I start my weekdays at 5:45am.

cool, I'll call you again and we'll chat it out, try and get a hold of some of the other guys, minus Eric F.

OTOH, anyone have a Garret 5-bolt flange gasket? I'm so in need of one?

further more, any of you south florida guys running a LC-1? I have a question if you are.

mike (as usual)

ps: Jordan.....wassup I miss ya homie.

Naw man, I love all you guys. Its an 02 9-3se. I am hoping to have the 91 240 ready to go by then, but the 740s definately not making the trip.

[940 T.U.R.B.O]

...... but the 740s definately not making the trip.

whats wrong, is it too slow? ........Oh. Oh my.....I'm talking sh*t already......its not even thursday.

Mike (as usual)

ps. j/k tom

[Krepotkin]

the 740 is being traded for the 240. So if the 240 is ready, ill take it, but if not, I can't put the miles on the 740, so I'll be rocking the saaby.

[EricF]

OTOH, anyone have a Garret 5-bolt flange gasket? I'm so in need of one?


What do you need one of those for??? :-P (Honestly though, surfaces aren't perfectly flat?)

Tom, Saabs are alright but be prepared for ultimate ball busting :) Saw the thread in OT and if you're talking about that red one it sure is clean.

Donny, Mike: Joseph will be needing a ride, and hopefully we'll be able to get Ben out there as well in which case he would too. I'll be telling them folkers it's going to be Friday afternoon since I'm sure Ben won't drive his 850 :lol:

I'm coming from Vero Beach, so if anyone wants to ride the Saab, hit me up.

So, Guys, we are getting very close now!! whos still got stuff to do before the meet? need any suggestions or help? Where the heck is isaac?

[940 T.U.R.B.O]

You best be ready to borrow the 15G (now a 16T) for the meet because 17s from that 940 of yours would just be a tragedy :rofl:

Kevin, the GT needs to have the transmission put back in and the clutch aligned... Sitting there with no tranny and the pressure plate on loosely. Isaac says he will be able to git er dun before I get up there next Wednesday after work, but if you feel like doing it then you're more than welcome to :lol: (and I'd appreciate the extra bellhousing bolts you'd put in that Isaac wouldn't)

maybe isaac can call me, since he seems to have disappeared, and we can make it a joint effort.

You know what Eric, i'm gonna run the 13c just to prove how awesomely powerful this turbo is. I beat an Evo last night......no really I did.........well maybe not beat......more like 'was beaten' horribly. But I'm still the fastest 940 in the entire world*

* the word "world" does not include any area outside of a 20mile radius of my house.

[ferret]

I should be down for Saturday, any solid plans for saturday night?

Is Delray in that 20 mile radius?

Oh snap!!!!

[242Bleek]

Wipe me down! Look what the **** im rollin in with guys!:-P Got the 242t back on the ground and took it out for it's first getrag test drive last night (it is very fast BTW) But the crappy ****in POS 240 pedal boxes keep bending so the car is parked till this weekend when I can reinfoce it. With an LSD (which I don't have) and a tad bit moar boost, I don't see why this car couldn't break into the 12's.

BTW, this car is such a PITA to drive now

Now I know why I was told to expect good times. :)

If anyone needs a ride from Gainesville or wants to head out at the same time, I can leave as early as we need to on Friday.

[EricF]

It's on!!!

Too bad I don't think Jesse's going to make it with his 242. But we can race his best time... (13.7?)

[242Bleek]

You talkin about that black 242t running on MS? That one looked pretty fast. Kyle has told me many stories about the infamous GT:lol:

[Quattro]

So friday it sounds like you guys will be at the speedway here in orlando.I think ill try and request that off and make a apearence in the audi (90 quattro btw 5 cylinder).Or if i feel up to it and still have the 240 ill take that there as its only 20mins away from me anyhow.

If you see a gray and black 240 thats me.Or if you see a audi 90 quattro there which i will more then likely be driving since its more entertaining.

Ill be on the look out for volvos there for sure :D.

Cya guys there ill get to the gate at 6 so i can get in before the rush lol.

Also friday night i beleve is elimnation rounds.Or it might be test and tune.

Either way its $15 to run and wear jeans.

21ist is track night so ill be there :D

Oh god... Eric's ****talking already... You guys are insane.

I'm going to be driving my wagon to the track most likely, so if anyone needs to store wheels/tools/weight removal stuff after we get there... just let me know.

Plans for Saturday are vague right now, but we might work up something interesting.

Whatever we do will be the backdrop to BBQ and I would suggest a keg purchase... All-day car work and BBQ or swimming and BBQ or whatever with a bunch of Volvo nerds tends to go through beer rather thoroughly.

That sounds pretty good to me. Beer, flames, animal flesh, grease, wrenches... Am I missing anything? wenches maybe?

mmmm.... wenches.
