Oregon Work day BBQ May 15th Noon.

[Sean]

As noted in other Oregon workday thread.
When: Sunday May 15th
Where: Albany, Oregon at My house
Who: Oregon Brickers
What:
Work: We'll be working on the lame ole gravel driveway. I have tools but if you want to do some serious work come prepared. We can fab up some downpipes if someone wants to bring some 3" tubing and bends. (I have some but don't really want to part with them), My welder isn't that great just a little MIG, but it'll be there. I also have a few compressors and some random tools. (However no covered areas to work, so if it rains it'll suck)
Show There is some nice flat grassy area that you can park to just show and hang out. But it's no fun to work on grass.
Play: Pool table right inside for a tournament and PS2 also with GT4. (Independant of Oregon Weather)
BBQ: That's right we'll be roasting some meat or what-have-you... Bring what you want to contribute/eat plenty of cold storage here. I will probably have some Burgers too. (oh and there is a covered porch for hanging out if raining)
Drinks: Plenty of water here, and I'll be drinking barley pop but I don't condone drinking and driving. Again bring what you want to drink they'll be something here too though.

ANY QUESTIONS?
Let's hope it's a sunny weekend.

Sean

Oh and please post if you are wanting to come I'll get a map-quest up but I want to have an idea how many people will be around.

Looks good :)
Sounds good!
As of now I will be there. Barring any other freakin tranny problems with cars around me :-P
I better not say anything though :-P

We could even get some food coordination going (ie potluck kinda deal) so we dont have a ton of chips and no potato salad, etc.

thanks for hosting Sean.

I'll bring some spud and macaroni salad, veggies (if anyone is interested) and beer.
Quite the combination :P

It would be cool to have some kind of dessert too!

What do people want to eat as a main course?
Burgers
Chicken
Steak

The first 2 are cheaper, especially if we get stuff from Costco. Depending on how many people attend we will want to get stuff from there anyways.

Sean
I have all of these
-black wagon interior (rear leather seat and cargo area stuff) - some of the cargo area stuff is beat up. U will have to check it out.
-Tailgate liscence plate lights (black)
-Grab handles
-Window squegees (for 244 or 245 style doors?)

The black door panels are tempting. I will check those out @ the meet! Doubtful I would get down there before that.

take care

[reeferman]

ill be there ...
its a drive ...but ill make it......

i need rear 240 calipers....

[Sean]

ill be there ...
its a drive ...but ill make it......
It's a drive? Dude I live like 5 minutes from your house...
Anyway I'll see you there.
Sean

EDIT
Oh BTW, I am going to see if my friend wants to do a turbo swap on his AE86 Corolla that day, it is currently NA, and we have everything to put the turbo and MSnEDIS in it. So if anyone has some MS experience and wants to help that would be cool.
Sean

[NChoy]

I'll try to make it, but I doubt I'll bring the wagon. I'll probably still be finishing it up. The preceeding week it'll be at the painter's place getting final buffing and touch ups. I'll spend the week before IPD applying stickers, polishing it, and getting it ready for the show.

[DurableSwedish]

I'm planning on being there. Tony, its a drive from your house there? Ha, try 6 hours from me! :-P

hm, I'll have to start a list of things i need help with...Anyone want to re-wire my car? :-P

Sweetness!!
Now THAT is dedication! 6 hour drive! I will ty to make it well worth the trip... I have a lot of wiring supplies to help out with your wiring project and plenty of High grade wiring (used from Volvos) but I dunno about wiring the whole car :-P
Sean

[Slobodan]

yeah I'll be there.

[klr142]

w000! Thanks Sean! Sounds GREAT! I'll just made a post over on OVT linked to this one...

So, food... So far we've got who bringing what? and what else needs to be brought? I can bring a bag of chips... And maybe some other stuff if wanted/needed...?

Oh, and Sean, is the GT4 going to be there or should I bring it?

[klr142]

B-B-B-B-B-BUMP!

I need to ask for the day off... They're gonna hate me at work because then I will have asked for more than the maximum of three weekend days off a month... SUCK IT! w00, I'll come and watch and play GT4, and maybe I'll drive the illegal wagon and do some work on it, I dunno yet...

[holtzboy]

I will be there. I have 2 gauges (oil pressure w/sender and volt) I need a little help installing and probably some general tuning stuff.

[volvogeek]

Dunno if I can make it, but I'll see. Probably have to drag the wife with me - might be able to make a big pot of her Aunt's spaghetti recipe the night before. Mmmm...

I'll see if I can talk her into it. :)

[Tuff240]

Hmmm.... unpacking by myself or..... talking about cars all day with other Volvo enthusiasts.

Yep, looks like I'll be there. :-D

I need directions or an address so I don't get toooo lost. :lol:

Also need a list of who's bringing what and a list of what is needed for the pot-luck.

Don't think I'll be working on anything, but I'll be there. ;-)

Hot dog buns?
How many should I bring?
I have no idea how much you northerners eat nor how many peeps to expect to show up. :-P

[Tuff240]

i need rear 240 calipers....
I'm pretty sure I have a pair of used rear calipers. Do you still need them?
I need to know in the next 48 hours or so. I'm packing stuff and throwing away stuff in California for a couple days then heading back up to Portland with whatever fits in my 245. I threw away probably 3-5 sets already. I'm sure I have more.

Anybody else looking for anything?
Good time to ask since I'm going through all of my junk and tossing lots of it.

[Sean]

On Pat's note, I have a pair of 240 flat hoods... One will be for sale.. $45 and I'll provide some: sandpaper, primer, and a pair of sawhorses you can put it on and drive it home flat black ;)
The other will be a raffle... So you can enter your name as many times as you want...
I also found...
-M40 remote shifter assembly from p1800
-some downpipes (940 or 740)
-Some interior parts, switches, **** like that pre 81...
-Auto 740 radiator copper and metal no plastic.. (automatic)
-Front spoilers... (similar offer on help installing..)
-engines and drivetrains.. just ask..

So I have been doing some stuff around here to spif it up for the day ut still haven't figured out where to locate the PS2.. thinking back porch..
Getting gravel for the driveway this friday,.. that'll make it better...
Should be a nice time.. if you got any vinyl bring it I got a decent Record player and I'll set up a CD changer for the day or hook up someone's I-pod or such if the selection is favorable..
Lets get a headcount anyone care to count one?
lates,
Sean

Tye - Soda 12 packs
Matt - Food?
Sean & gf - Snacks, chips.
Me - Spud and macaroni salad, veggies and beer.
Tony - Food,beer?
Nick - Food, beer?
Collan - Food?
Slobodan - food?
Kyle - Chips
Shane - Food ?
Richard & ?Wife? - spaghetti maybe
Pat - Hamburger, hot dog buns.

If we are doing work on the cars, should we bother making a list of what people would like to work on?

take care

[klr142]

I can bring some chips!

And I think I'm going to bring my wagon, so I'm going to try and do a tranny fill(nothing left in it to flush...), and maybe a brake fluid flush?(anyone have a bleeder?) I think I'll need some PB Blaster if I want to take that on... Maybe I don't want to take that on, nevermind... Lol. I might play with the dash on it, might not, might play with other little things on it, might not...

Oo, brake fluid flush! I need to do that also. Thanks for reminding me! I have a power bleeder if anyone wants to flush their brakes. Lemme know if I should bring it. What do people use for Brake Fluid? I have Castrol GT LMA in there now. Is the ATE Super Blue much better?

We would need a stable area to setup jacks and stands for doing the fluid flush probably.

take care

take care
So I edited my list...
I think we need someone to bring some Hot dogs/sausage, Tomatoes for burgers, Lettuce, Salad?, paper plates, plastic forks, knives, and spoons (I can get these but don't have any now), and plastic cups; some Music (I-Pod, vinyl, or CD's); some lawn chairs wouldn't hurt...

As far as stable places to jack up cars, I will level the driveway but gravel and jackstands tend to settle so I will cut up some plywood squares to support the jackstands.

If you plan on draining and replacing fluids please bring containers to take away old fluids, there is curbside recycling here but I can't leave out more than a few gallons. and I generally don't have a lot of spare containers...

If you have ramps bring em that would be helpful, another jack couldn't hurt either, I only have 1 good one.

I'll have the compressor and the welder setup as long as it isn't raining too badly...

Should be a great time... lets get some more decisive food choices for all to bring.

Lates,
Sean

[budweiser_man]

put me down for hot dogs,
sean you have a grill?
who is bring the conduments, mustard, ketscup, other?

lets get a list of things people would like to work on there cars.

I also have ramps, what kind of tools do people need?

anyone want to buy a m46 our of a 740t???

[bluehat42]

Put me down tentativly I would like to come up and meet some of the local Volvo guys. I would also like to borrow the welder to finish up the exhaust and get the glasspack installed iwth side exit. also if anyone has some mounting brackets and rubbers for a intercooler install, pipes also. I would be up for buying them. I could bring the intercooler and install it too. I would love to be there for some GT4 too. Hope to see some of you guys. Joe

I have a few nice BBQ's both Charcoal not gas, I will provide condiments as mentioned above. Maybe grabbing some polish dogs and such with the hot dogs would be good.

I have most tools you could ask for, wrenches, sockets, torque wrenches, hammers, breaker bars, band saw, welder, compressors, drill (only a lil one no press), some plywood to work on under cars, trouble lights (a few although with those and the compressor and the welder we might be popping breakers), air tools, beadblaster(might be a stretch to use ALL of the above at once), hub puller, PB Blaster, some angle iron, etc..
If someone wants to bring some extra air hose I am kinda low on air hose (I don't know the name of the fittings I use post a pic of yours and I can confirm.)
So jaskstands, ramps, and an extra jack would be nice.

Oh yeah I also have a manual steering rack I don't need.
Sean

[Slobodan]

I don't know if I'll bring Food. As I am rather poor. I'll proobably bring some Morning Star Garden burgers and some buns. pepper jack cheese, and a six pack of tecate. hows that sounds?
I will be avialiable for people wantting to swap out thier L, M, and T cams for a better cam. I'll probably have gotten a couple of B cams before this get together for anyone who is interested. I will not however, adjust your valve shims. I don't have the tools for that, or the extra shims laying around. I will also help anyone out with doing Electric Fan conversions, complete with Thermo switch and in cable manual switch with fan indicator light. Got gauges? I'll also help with them too. No charge!!!!!!!!!

[mr brick driver]

I'm planning on being there. Tony, its a drive from your house there? Ha, try 6 hours from me! :-P

hm, I'll have to start a list of things i need help with...Anyone want to re-wire my car? :-P
So Durable Swedish, have you decided to keep the 244 TI? I think that you should, but If I had my way I would have ten Volvos probably.lol Did you ever solve your high idle problem? If so, what did it take?

[volvogeek]

some Music (I-Pod, vinyl, or CD's)
Oh, the little woman got a free iPod mini from work (wench), so I could supply some, if people like my taste in music, anyway, heh. :-D

[klr142]

Oo, brake fluid flush! I need to do that also. Thanks for reminding me! I have a power bleeder if anyone wants to flush their brakes. Lemme know if I should bring it. What do people use for Brake Fluid? I have Castrol GT LMA in there now. Is the ATE Super Blue much better?Yeah, please do bring the power bleeder! GT LMA is good for the street, it's what I've been using in my 142, if you're planning on being at the track a lot, then maybe step it up to Super Blue, otherwise I don't really see the point.

Sean, do you have an easy(ish) way to get fluid into an m41? I've never filled one before other than my m40 with the long shifter, which I usually just take off and pour fluid down... I might get a rear end gasket and do that as well, I don't think it has any fluid in it either... :-(

Kyle,

What is (how is) Super Blue? I just bled my brakes out with Valvoline full Synthetic brake fluid. Wondering what others are using. I had Castrol LMA in there before, but the car is seeing more track time nowadays.

Kyle,

I don't have any direct experience with it, but I was planning on using it in my cars back when I was younger and didn't have one and just thought about the many things I'd do to my cars when I got them... Lol. It's a high performance brake fluid that's gotten good opinions in the past, haven't read much about it lately because I think they got in trouble for having a blue fluid instead of something that matches the rest of the brake fluids, so I don't think it's actually DOT legal right now, but who's going to check...

ATE Super Blue Racing brake fluid has a dry boiling point of over 530 degrees F, far exceeding DOT 4 standards. Mixes with any other DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid. Super Blue absorbs moisture very slowly, so you don't have to change it as often as many high-performance fluids. Great for your street car that sees weekend track duty.
Check this out, it's even on a volvo website... Did you switch it with "SynPower"? Well, if so, Super Blue's better according to <a href='http://www.volvospeed.com/Reviews/ate.htm'><i>THIS</i></a>

There's also DOT5.1 stuff out there now, not to be confused with DOT5(silicone based I think, not compatible with regular DOT3,4,5.1 fluids), that is even better than Super Blue and others. GT LMA is exceeds DOT 4 standards, so I think it compares to Super Blue, or might actually be better than Super Blue in terms of DOT standards, but isn't synthetic like Super Blue is. As far as I know. Which isn't very far. But that gives you an idea...

My friend is using Motul 600 stuff that has even higher heat capabilities than their 5.1 fluids in his Nissan 240SX. I can't wait for us to get that beast(handling/braking anyway) on the track........ Now if only his aluminum right front 300ZXTT caliper wasn't acting up, we'd REALLY have some insane braking...

You just need a syringe. If Sean doesn't have one, you can borrow mine.

[klr142]

Sounds good, are you coming to this? Or will you be at the parent's house?

[coldfusion21]

im down, and i can prolly bring what ever is need. i can bring hamburger or hotdogs or something along those lines. do we need charcoal or something?

i would personally start off with some of the ate regular fluid and then move to the super blue. the super blue stuff is some of the best widely available fluid. mm, nate or kyle has my power bleeder, so if one of them shows up we should have atleast two bleeders, if not more.

i would like to do a few things, but money is super tight, so not sure if thats going to be happening.

[andrewlcraft]

Sounds good, are you coming to this? Or will you be at the parent's house?
I might be able to make it, as least partially. It's Julian's 1st. B-day on Saturday, and we're having a BBQ w/ my parents on Sat, and then Nicole's family couldn't make it until Sunday, so they will be over then. If I can sneak out at all, I will. Everyone was just over this Sunday, and I'm just about sick of in-laws in my house. I'll just have to play it by ear. :roll:

[Sean]

You just need a syringe. If Sean doesn't have one, you can borrow mine.
Yes I have a garage pump.. with a hose that you dip in and pull it full with fluid then pump it into the tranni, but it'll be messy, it always is....

Request:
A large bag of sawdust.. I prefer sawdust over kitty litter on the gravel driveway, if anyone can go out to their woodshop and fill a large bag with sawdust we can use this for any spills. I will empty out my dad's Tablesaw but it won't necessarily be enough.
Sean

[reeferman]

What's your taste?

I normally use a funnel and then some clear tubing to the fill hole on the M46 and have someone else pour while I watch till tranny fluid barely comes out of the fille hole. With as many people that will be around this seems like the easiest and cleanest method.

Oh yeah on MY work list is also TURBO my friend John's ae86, we will be performing that, all that day.

So I have a "power bleeder" also, and the tool for filling the tranni/diff.


We need someone to claim their dibs on bringing the paper plates, bowls, plastic cups, forks knives spoons..

And who's gonna bring some desert? Like some sort of jello strawberry dish would be kicka$s....
Oh and if anyone really wants to bring beer I do have a kegerator.. but I'm not gonna be able to brew a keg up in time..
lates,

[Vovo poser]

[holtzboy]

I can cover the desert category with some various sweets that everyone should like. I also have a brand new power bleeder that hasn't been out of the box yet because I never knew which order to bleed the valves. Did we decide what a good brake fluid would be for a daily driver so I can go pick some up¿ I have a set of metal ramps that I can bring and some other various tools that might not be as common there like a torque wrench, the ipd fuel bung nut tool, oxygen sensor socket, etc etc. Lookin forward to another Volvo workday!

-Shane

[Sean]

Another thing to look for:
Ok so Luke I am hoping you bring all your black interior parts for the wagon, is the rear seat in good shape?
So I am also looking for black leather front seats.. I would prefer non volvo or 240 seats, something a bit sportier.. perhaps BMW sport seats in black leather.. anyone have any pairs of front seats for sale in black leather?
I would take a set of Volvo's for an interim interior matching timeframe..
Thanks guys!
Lates,

Shane,

I can help with bleeding the brakes that day. I just finished my wagon's brakes. I also have a power bleeder if you need it, but it sounds like you're covered already.

Not sure what to recommend on a DD... any good dot 4 will work I suppose. I used Castrol LMA up till recently. I just put synthetic in the wagon... hope it works good. I've heard mixed feedback on synth.

[klr142]

Just use the GT LMA, it's cheap, easy to find, and works great. Nick, did you ever have any problems with it?

About supplies for the day, I'm bringing one 1lb. bag of tortilla chips, 21 plastic 16 oz. cups, and I can bring some napkins and some plastic bowls if need be...? I have a few paper plates, but they won't be able to support anything if you ask them too...

[budweiser_man]

things to work on:

s80 elec fan
finish my interior
work on body kit (maybe)

and anything else I can finger out

[Stereophile33]

take care

[CountOfNowhere]

I don't know why I didn't post in this sooner... I'm definately down to come, and I can bring whatever food items are needed....

I don't think I'm going to have anything more than minor tinkering to do, so I can be someone's general bitch if they need a hand with something. I'll make sure to organize and bring all my tools by then....

[klr142]

I can bring whatever food items are needed....
How about some paper plates, forks knives spoons..?

I'm bringing 21 cups, but I think we'll be having cans and bottles, so more might not be needed. I've got some napkins and plastic bowls that I'll be bringing as well on top of my one bag of tortilla chipz... :-D

[budweiser_man]

so I can be someone's general bitch if they need a hand with something.

all right get me a 13 mm deep socket and a beer.

This morning's 10-day forecast calls for rain from this Friday on till mid-next week.

In Hawaii, we just toss a white virgin into the volcano and the rain stops.

[Sean]

yeah if it rains we will need lots more beer.... but we can still have a pool tournament and play PS2 and BBQ we can hang in the house and the back deck and front porch are covered do there should be plenty of hangout space.
Can't wait to see all of ya'all here.
Sean

[Slobodan]

Totally!! I'm still comming!!!

[Tuff240]

This morning's 10-day forecast calls for rain from this Friday on till mid-next week.

In Hawaii, we just toss a white virgin into the volcano and the rain stops.
We're screwed then, I don't think there are any of those left here stateside. :lol:

[black740t]

i have a proposition for anyone who wants some help. i can come down and help someone or many out with whatever they want in return for some help down the road. i am putting in a new motor and might need some help with it, let me know what you want help with and i will be there!

[Sean]

Well it's looking like it's gonna be a nice day :P, but living in oregon for a significant amount of my life I don't put any faith ni the weathermen/women.
Should still be a good time... I fired up the welder and the bandsaw the other day and tacked a couple pieces onto my fan so the electric fan looks absolutely stock..
I haven't checked the status of my welding gas lately and if anyone plans on doing a lot of welding they should tell me and I can get some more gas (saturday at the latest). I have the welder and gas to weld stainless and mild steel no aluminum (no spoolgun).
Also if anyone is wanting to do a 3" DP they only take about 45 minutes, I can supply the materials for a small price... all mandrel bends..

So the BBQ will have the following food going :
Matt - Hot Dogs
Luke - Spud and macaroni salad, veggies and beer.
Tony - Tonya's BPBurgers
Nick - Food, beer?
Collan - Food?
Slobodan - Morning Star Garden burgers and some buns. pepper jack cheese, and a six pack of tecate
Kyle - Chips, plates and stuff
Shane - Food ? -Beer?
Richard & ?Wife? - spaghetti maybe
Pat - Hamburger, hot dog buns.
BlueHat42 - Possibly attending.-post if you can Bring Buns for Burgers,( nice big ones)
Andrew - Possibly attending. -post if you can Bring Buns for Burgers,( nice big ones)-
Vovo Poser - Possibly attending -post if you can Bring Buns for Burgers,( nice big ones)
Tye - Soda 12 packs

I'll get some chicken to BBQ up, and have some chips and salsa going on...

I-pods for Music, well I have mine but ya'all might hate my music taste (not terribly concerned :P)

Should be a good time..;

- Luke, can you be sure to bring as much of your black wagon interior as is available(how much do you want for it?)? we can weld your 242 door if you are still needing that done...

-I have LOTS of parts that can be sold or given away (240 spoilers, engine parts, interior misc, B20 parts, radiators, etc etc...)
-Feel free to bring any parts to swap that you think others will be interested in

One last thing.. might want to throw in some lawn chairs and if anyone has a spare quick pop-up table for food that would be cool..

Hope to see ya all here!
Sean
(if you get lost on sunday 541-760-0479)

[NChoy]

I'm going to have to back out of this one. Yes, I feel bad, but my priorties have shifted.

Sunday morning I'm meeting with my painter and pulling all the trim, taillights, corner turn signals, and stuff that will snag a high-speed buffer off the car. We're then touching up all the little boo-boos in the paint, and he's going to final buff the paint on Monday and Tuesday.

Good news is the rear bumper and M3 mirrors are being painted tomorrow, and if I can find a valve cover gasket somewhere, I'll be tuning the car on Matrix's dyno right behind Peter.

Seeing as how it's Friday the 13th, I'm not going to say that my car might just make the IPD Garage Sale.

[klr142]

M3 mirrors
Hmm, didn't know about those... Cool cool.

a spare quick pop-up table for food that would be cool..
I've got one of those! I'll bring it.

Oh, and I could use some b20 stuff. Like a bottom end... Lol. I'll see about selling some of the stuff off of that motor, see what I can do...

[budweiser_man]

hey countofnowhere I am still waiting for the 13 deep socket and a beer.

just keeping the post going

has any one done a s80 e-fan conversion?
I have one and do plan on doing one.

[coldfusion21]

ive been thinking about it, just need to get off my ass and grab the fan. should be pretty easy, altho prolly not very pretty.

Ha, you posted before I got around to hitting the button. The only non-pretty part I really don't like on mine is the edge you can see in the pic, I'd like to have it closed in, just haven't got around to doing anything about it. I have three extra fans if anyone is interested....

[Sean]

Hmm, didn't know about those... Cool cool.

I'm just getting ready to put that one on E-bay a lot of people are interested in the Distributor.
Sean

[volvogeek]

It's looking like I probably won't make this. Got a trip up to Seattle next weekend after iPd and the wife is having a tiff about that...and I'm doubting she'll want to go to this too. There are other complications, but we'll see.

damn was looking forward to the special spaghetti.. well hope you get a change of mind.. the more the merrier..
Sean

[Slobodan]

more the merrier is absolutely right. Come on people! No backing out!

heh kidding but serious. I won't be attending IPD garage sale this year :'( I really wanted to. So I would love alot of people at this work day to make up for it. :)

[klr142]

Sean, by that I hope you mean putting the dizzy up seperately... It alone can get you $50-100, but you won't want to ship a whole motor... I want the motor btw, just don't know how I could get it, nor how I would install it, nor what I would do with the b20b that's in there... I don't want any of the extra stuff that's on it though, so who knows...

[Sean]

Dood,
Don't worry I still have 2 other 8 bolt B20's to get rid of.. the one in the smurf (which i drive daily) and another. The distributor actually sells for almost 150 with the control box rather regularly. And I put a high reserve and a clause for no dealing with shipping. Sorry dude but I really need it outta here I don't have a garage or a large area to store extra engines..
It probably won't sell then you can sell the extra parts and make the engine extra cheap for yourself if you are up for it. We'll chat tomorrow.
Sean

[klr142]

Sounds good!

[Sean]

So Collan left about an hour ago.. he got his days a lil confused.. he came pulling in and I'm like... umm.. dude you're like a day early...
Anyway it's all good.. kinda sucks though cause he had a leaky radiator I had one I didn't need but after he got it all in and plumbed it ended up having been pinpricked while traveling since I have ahd it..
Anyway a lame trip for collan..

Hope to see ya'all tomorrow..
Sean

[reeferman]

whats the head count?

[klr142]

My head's coming... I think I'm going to toss one of the 142's plates on the rear of the wagon to make it look legal, and as long as I don't do anything stupid I should be alright and not attract attention, right...? Better than no plates and an expired trip permit isn't it?

[luke242ti]

I'll be there.

Sean - I will see what I can gather from the 245 tomorrow. It has a ton of crap in it and I have items I HAVE to get done in the morning before leaving. I will talk to you more about it tomorrow too.

take care

[Sean]

No worries dude.. it would definitely be sweet but no pressure..
lates,
Sean

[klr142]

Whatcha guys think about my license plate idea? Or should I just leave it plate-less...?

[Sean]

either way it's real bad if you get caught..
but then again.. why would they be looking at you and following you? :-P
I guess we'll see tomorrow
Sean

[Tuff240]

What time are we supposed to be there?

I might come down in the new 83 242DL (ITB project car). :-D

Just got back from Seattle with Nick from picking it up (I owe you big time for helping me Nick, thanks!).
$180, current tags and I drove it home 3+ hours. :-P
Timing belt broke about an hour out of Portland as I pulled into a gas station. :omg:
Good thing I brought one with me. :cool:
Other than that it was an un-eventful drive home.

See you all tomorrow.

PS. I'm still bringing the hamburger/hot dog buns. ;-)

[klr142]

Just got back from Seattle with Nick from picking it up
You did not... Tsk tsk, shakey my finger at you, tsk tsk. Where the F are you going to put that thing, and jeeeeeeeez. Punk.

Yeah, and I guess, with the trip permit, they won't look closely unless I'm causing mischief, so I should be good. Either way, I'm doing it! Cause, "my other car broke, and I needed to go to (enter important place), and DMV isn't open today! waaaaaaah". Mmm hmm, something like that. Definitely would be screwed hardcore though. We shall see, my fingers are crossed, should be alright... I might want to do an oil change as well; I'll be bringing a couple of one gallon milk jugs.

[NChoy]

I'll be there.

Luke,

Remember the parts I have on reserve with you from your 245... I'd actually like to work out with you when I can come get them. Sometime in the next couple of weeks. I want to get the 242DL running and driving soon.

Dude, I am SO F'ING tired right now. You know when you get so tired you can't fall asleep. Well, that's me right now.

I think I'm going to sleep late tomorrow morning.

Give my regards to everyone at the meet. Sorry I can't make it.

[Sean]

so for everyone coming.. I was planning on a noon start..
see yah then..
Sean

[budweiser_man]

I am sitting in juction city right now (just north of eugene) plan on leaving a little later. I got the hot dogs/buns covered.

[Sean]

Hey Kyle bring GT4 if you got it, my buddy forgot it.
Sean

[klr142]

Hey Kyle bring GT4 if you got it, my buddy forgot it.
Sean
Lol, alrighty. And, what do we have for jacking cars up? I think we're going to run out of that kinda stuff... I'mma hop in the shower and head on over after I have me some brekkist. w0000!

Cya in about an hour!

[DurableSwedish]

So Collan left about an hour ago.. he got his days a lil confused.. he came pulling in and I'm like... umm.. dude you're like a day early...

Hope to see ya'all tomorrow..
Sean

:pow: :rofl: . Thats all I have to say about that one.. :-P

[Sean]

So although not too much "work" really was done, Kyle worked on his 145 and John and I worked on his ae86.
We got his ae86 ready to turbocharge and we should be done (driving) before the end of the week.
The BBQ was a success, Tony brought Tonya's BP Burgers which were awesome!! we had some Chicken that I had that we only cooked up a lil bit of because Tony and Tonya brought a lot of NICE burgers. We had Plentiful chips and salsa...
The pool tournament.. well people just played pool.. I think it was a good feature at the workday..
The PS2/GT4 well not too many participated in this.. but there was some PS2 going on..

It only rained for a couple of 15-20 minute stretches and was actully rather decent other than that.

All in all I think it was a good time! Thanks to everyone for coming and for bringing their Entrees or whatnot..
Hope everyone else had a good time also.
Sean


Please post some pics and videos in a new thread in Showroom if you have some cool ones.

[Slobodan]

I concur, I had a great time! I fixed my mudflap! :) heh.

umm.... whatelse.... Oh yes We need to have more get together. and such. Its just too much fun driving fast on I-5, too bad it was pretty crowded. I wanted to do a nice fair hiway pull with Matt and Ross. I swear my N/A is better in the topend than everyone suspects.

what ever you tell your self to make yourself fell better that is ok by me

[fenario]

I'm pretty sure I have a pair of used rear calipers. Do you still need them?
I need to know in the next 48 hours or so. I'm packing stuff and throwing away stuff in California for a couple days then heading back up to Portland with whatever fits in my 245. I threw away probably 3-5 sets already. I'm sure I have more.

Anybody else looking for anything?
Good time to ask since I'm going through all of my junk and tossing lots of it.

"anybody else looking for anything?" I wont be at the work day but I will be at the ipd meet. I was just at your website and you've had quite the collection. You have a decent, black, rear dash pad in that "junk"? Also looking for rear seatbelt covers but those are a dime a dozen. Thanks.

[Sean]

Who took a video with sound of my p1800?
Can you send em that file? anyone who acn host it?

OVT can host it!

And I had a good, but shorter than I wanted time... GT4 left with me, so there would've been more playing, but I had to go to work. And I hardly did anything on the wagon, I basically took apart the lower dash, took out all the AC stuff, pulled out hundreds of wires that went no where(from the AC, the no longer there Djet, and the alarm)... Gotta do a tranny fluid fill sometime, and the brake fluid too...

Thanks again Sean!

And if anyone needs a host for their pictures, OVT will be it, because the pictures and movies will end up there anyway! Email me them, or send me them through AIM, whatever! :-D
