Mangohick Motorsports LLC?
As most of you may know I've been off the board for a month or so working hard and organizing my own business. I'd like to announce that it's finally legit.. I'm not done with all of the red tape and legal mumbo jumbo but I do finally have a federal tax ID number which in my eyes, is a good reason to celebrate.


Fried turkey and Banjos?
Basically the meet will consist of a nice long cruise through the countryside, a un-organized swap meet as usual, and lots and lots of yard bird, fried turkey and beer (I'm busting out the outdoor deep fryer for ths one) AND there will be a live band here this time complete with a 5 string banjo player.


Blowing up Volvos?
I'd like to have the cruise started by 1pm.. It'll probably be more than 30 miles so make sure you've got plenty of gas when you show up.

Amateur Football?
Friendly game of football would be nice too.. except every time a team scores.. they've gotta shotgun a beer (helps even the playing field)


Swapping Meat?
Drag all of your unwanted parts you've got up online and I'll have designated areas for everyone to sell their goodies. If anyone wants to wrench on their car here let me know ahead of time via PM so I can clear a spot for you to work


Covered Dishes etc..
I'll make a list of the oddities such as plates, cups, etc.. later down the thread..


Camping?
If you want to camp out here Friday or Saturday night theres about 40 acres here to set up a tent so prepare accordingly. If you have a mountian bike you may want to bring that as well since theres plenty of space to cruise around.

PS..
"that drunk chick" will not be allowed so dont even think about bringing her;-)

Also don't even think about doing a burnout in front of my house (even if my neibghor comes out again and covers the street in a thick plume of smoke) I'll kick your ass and send you home with no questions asked.. Needless to say dont do donuts in my yard either.. Dont forget I live here once you're gone :nod:

If Mr. Bill's there, I should be able to make it also. I'm adding it in crayon to the calendar.
As for the whole swapping meat I prefer swapping my weiner with a clam as opposed to a sausage or brat.

I like making fun of you for bringing her the first two times..

Your dad better be as funny as you!

Be sure to bring the rest of you.. nobody wants to stare at your pale ass all day.

Congrats! Is your shop going to be in Mangohick or Mechanicsville (next to/near Lawrence's)?

I probably won't have a shop for awhile as my business will be mobile.. cuts overhead and initial investment.. but it will be based outta my back yard ;-)

Blowing up trannys has nothing to do with what you drive, and everything to do with how you drive..

I can help you with that.. just plan on being here around 10-11ish

I'd drag you down here myself.. but I can't because that'd be a black on black hate crime and I dont hate ya.

I think it's bolt-in on your car, shouldn't be an issue at all.

When I did mine everyone said I needed the tensioner from a later 240 (like yours) to mount the ND alt to the 240. I grabbed an 80 amp from some 940 (all I could find at the time), the tensioner from an 90 240, bolted in no problems!

Think about buying some nice 4 gauge power and ground wire and terminals and you'll have some nice power :nod:

well I got a refurbed bosch 100 amp. Im gonna get the poly bushings and I have all new continental belts to put on ac, steering, timing, and alt.

Return it! Go to crazy rays and get the nippon denso unit. $20ish, it's about 75% the size, and makes mounting it much easier. That bosch unit is a pain

Tell you what, just bring both, we'll start on the alternator and if we've got time we can venture into doing a fan swap.. You should definitely put your high amp alternator on BEFORE you put on a e-fan.

outdoor/automotive shens need no reason.

Bike shop makes a nice clean spot to tinker with clocking turbos..

Hai, guys. My 240, oddly enough, won first in FSP at Fedex today. Not actually a big whoop because it was just me and a Mini. The Mini owner wasn't running his race tires for some reason. The other 3 guys in my class didn't show probably becuz it wasn't a SCCA championship points event. All 4 of them routinely hand me my ass on a platter at SCCA events.

My best time was a 69.xx. I will post link to the results when available but for example a Lotus Elise was turning 64.xx times. The fast ESP Camaros where turning 58.xx.

Called Vince today, but here's the official proclamation:
1. I'm really poor. Like no-gas-money-poor.
2. There's an art show that I'm in, and the opening reception is on the 8th at 6pm.
3. I'm really lame.

So if you need stuff, like a bike fork (Vince) I will try to get it to you via Plow or someone. Otherwise it will have to wait.
DC people: I will be up there for Black Friday, laying low. Then in downtown DC on Sat. (assuming my co-driver springs for the fuel bill)

I was talking to a guy at the autocross on sunday and he was telling me about some 240 he saw at the rallycross. He said you looked like a musician. He also had some tall tales of morley straightlining some slalom with the front wheels coming off the ground from the bumps/ruts.

3. I'm really lame.
Indeed. Maybe I'll have to ride out there some weekend, but not this one. I've got Veteren's day off...

The fork can wait, it's snot a big deal.

Hi,
My wife and I were thinking of coming up to RVA friday night (Nov. 7th) to Toads Place to see Rev. Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy. If we stay the night (I don't feel like driving 90 miles home to Norfolk at 2AM) this sounds cool to see/be a part of.

Mods?


I'd love to be up there Vince, good luck with everything, but I don't see the 600 mile drive on my Magic 8-Ball for that weekend.

Billy, pop the wheel off, run it over to Stock Car, tell 'em you have something for Neil John to weld up and give him probably $20 (unless its ridiculous) and he'll glob it back together for you like he did Dean's.

Simple directions.. from Interstate 95

Exit #98 for Kings Dominion towards West point onto State route 30.. (East)

Start counting your mileage as you get off 95 as it's about 10 miles to your left turn onto Herring Creek (or State route 604)

You'll cross straight over 301 about 5 miles from 95 so you'll have about another 5 miles to go after you go through the stoplight at 301.


You'll make a LEFT onto Herring Creek (604)

1/4 mile and make a RIGHT into the first paved driveway you get to with the cedar trees
