Yea, agreed. Great meet and some great photos there. We had a good turnout and it was good to see you all again and meet Zeke and his family. We gotta get that older guy in here with the white FB to show up for some meets. Was a pretty cool and nice guy from what it seemed and his wife was very nice too.

Hopefully Brian's TII and Ian's FB will be alright. It looked like Brian's car was alright but I guess it's always hard telling with a rotary. lol

And Blade, nice sig. LOL

I didn't know about it until about 8pm last night. I hadn't been on here in a while and I randomly decided to log in to post in the for sale section and saw it. I was pissed because all I did yesterday was clean out the garage!

FB is fine. Well, sort of lol. I figured out the weird clunk noise from the rear was actually my front right caliper was loose. Apparently that is also why it was squeeling so bad. I figured out the caliper was loose when it finally came off. Surprisingly enough no major damage other than a bent brake pad. I nursed it home by wiring the caliper to the front sway bar and went 45 the last 20 miles home. In reality all I need to do is replace the front pads and install new bolts for the caliper.


Im thinking loc-tite is gonna turn into my new best friend.

That sucks.

You could have gotten some good pizza and beer too!

I've spent many weekends cleaning the garage and undoing the mess I caused LOL

what if i missed an angle!! lol. my camera does that all the freaking time.
i think we should set dates for events we dont nessisarily have to have the known location, but at least set dates on the calender so that we all can plan way in advance of getting a perticular day off. i mean like we have an event on 7/25 every year for example so we can get the day off...

Black FD would be Jason (Sesshoumaru).

It seems like if the dates are set a while in advance we have some good turnouts. As long as they are set sometime in advance I can get the day off, especially if it's a Saturday. Cordova would be cool, that way you guys get a good chance to see what your cars can do, especially Brian and Jason since you guys had done a bunch of **** to your cars and were wondering what they'd do now. Watching is always fun too and this way friends could bring cars also and wouldn't be weirded out that it's just a rotary meet.

Ian, as long as you tighten those bolts really good they shouldn't come loose. I guess it could just happen after a while but usually you don't have problems with them. If you do Loc-Tite them, use the blue ****. The red kind usually needs to be torched and heated before it will come loose.
