Same exit as the Fudds in Columbia, except you take it the opposite direction to Jessup. When it hits Route 1, turn right. Crazy Rays will be a mile or two down the road on the left.

Meet at 10.00. BYOT

Trying to make this a bi-weeekly or monthly thing.

i had no idea i lived so close to the place

 

what is that for? just a meet for junk yard?

 

don't you think it's creepy if you see a bunch of guys all ripping the same car apart?

heh

I wish there was a power outlet available. I'd bring my airtools. too bad you can't take your car back there. I'd take my jeep in. and have some 4x4 fun too. Just gotta put a sign in the window *NOT FOR PARTS*

 

ic, do you guys really need so many parts, or just for fun? as far as I recalled, I didn't see anything interested to me last time I went to crazy rays.

I guess you all want to have a van filled with parts like Jason's.

 

Is this serious?
A meet at Crazy rays? We can do alot better than this!

 

It'll be like locusts swarming...

Can you imagine how fast an engine pull would go if you had a dozen people who knew what they were doing?

I wasn't serious as making it a meet, but I'm going, if anyone else wants to go, join me.

I need a 94-97 Miata tranny.

 

I've never seen an FD in a junkyard before Need a 4-bolt LSD rear end from a 1g DSM tho. They usually have a lot of NA's there but not many AWDs.

 

oh, ic, you are looking for help to pull some parts with you. I thought you just want rx7 parts, and there aren't many rx7 there. BTW, I haven't seen any miata in that junk yard yet.

newer model like FD will go to other junk yards or body shops, instead of crazy rays. crazy rays is a cheap place for cheap parts for cheap cars.

 

There were a couple 2nd gen DSM's there last time and their plethora of 1st gens... Of the 1st gens, I know one was AWD...

I passed them by because the parts I was looking for were specific to the 2nd gen.

I wonder. Is it possible to put a 1st gen AWD drivetrain and engine into a 2nd gen FWD chassis? This'd also include a auto to manual tranny swap.

 

I know people have put 2g awd drivetrains in 2g fwd cars, especially the GS-T Spyders that never came in AWD originally. I think grafting a 1g drivetrain in there might be more difficult especially because the whole suspension layout changed so the prop shaft/axles/wheel hubs and stuff are incompatible.

Hrm, I don't know what I'm doing this weekend but maybe I should show up. Any 92.5-94 AWD 1G should have the LSD diff I'm looking for, but 9/10 are NA and if I find an AWD, it's always the 90-92 with the 3-bolt open diff

edit: btw I think the crazy ray's in baltimore right off 895 has a better inventory turnover than does the one in Jessup.

 

Crazy rays cylces through cars super quick. There is quite often an s5 that runs through there. I've never seen a turbo car in there tho. I always find something worth pulling when I go there .

Got the hitch on my Jeep for 20 bucks, and i've pulled my car all the way to florida and back with it. Can't beat that.

 

Okay I'm going to try and make it on Sunday.

How much Wrangler stuff do they have there? I need an entire door for an 05 Wrangler. Pretty much anything from 98-06 fits what I need, as that is the same series. Let me know if they have that stuff there, I need one bad!!!

 

There mey be one or two. They're probably older though.

New stuff is hard to come by at Rays... Though there was a new Focus hatchback and a Ford Five-Hundred there last time. Both were throrughlly gutted.

 

Do me a huge favor, keep an eye out for one. Red preferably, 98-05 fits what I need. Even if it is just the shell, it works perfectly fine. If they have one, give me a call on my cell phone if you can. I am gonna be in Towson all this weekend, so I may just swing by there and see what they have got there.

 

With the 7 put back together, I think I may roll up...

 

Looking like rain, I'm going to play it by ear for tomorrow.

 

still on?

 

I was there around 10:30. Didn't see any RX-7s in the parking lot. There were 3 FC's in the yard at Laurel. None in the Baltimore lot off Erdman Ave.

 

kk

 

Who actually shoed up? I was so incredibly hung over this morning, I didn't feel like breathing, much less going anywhere.
