I would be up for meeting you guys at Cecil, but the rest of the day I wouldn't be able to make.

TURBO POWAA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got a spare FD trans sitting around. I'm sure we could do some cutting/grinding/etc to make it fit :lol:

OT: Didn't finish the car as expected hah, this weather killed my want to work on it. Managed to rip all the stock items off and get the stock engine harness out. So we'll see if its finished in time :nod:

As stated, support vehicles are welcome but feel free to ride along with me as well. Hell, if you can make it out maybe I'll drive my FD and let you drive the FB :)

It is looking like the meet/cruise is going to be this Sunday and unfortunately Cecil county is closed for a private rental. Would you be able to make it to Capitol Raceway?

This Sunday? Won't be able to make that, have a conference on Saturday and coming back sunday evening :(

I can't even work on mine during the week as I am in the Woodbridge area and the cars down in Fredericksburg!

Cut a deal! I did by getting the wife a new wedding ring, now I have full financial reign to do as I please. Probably a poor choice on her end though hah

We'll see if it goes off this weekend. If it decides to rain, we may wait another week for the 13th.

93rx74lyfe 03-31-14 07:46 PM

How for sure are you on this weekend? Might be hard to get ronald out of hibernation.

fendamonky 03-31-14 09:16 PM

Well shit... it looks like this weekend I'll be helping to move an FB and an RX-8 up to CT so they can get Frankensteined together into one fun/advanced FB.

So if the cruise happens this weekend I won't be able to make it since I'll be out of town. :(

rx7 SE 03-31-14 10:37 PM

I'm booked for the next 3 weekends as well unfortunately.

I'll be at an autocross on sunday. I'll catch you guys next time, or you can stop by :)

Molotovman 04-01-14 03:43 AM

Seems like the 13th is better for everyone now.

When are you going to make the final decision, Rocky?

Well, right now the weather is looking really good for Sunday. I'd hate to skip the day and get some rain the next week. BUT, on the other hand I also want as many people to be available as possible, so the 13th it is! Everyone keep your fingers crossed for good weather that day too.

You've got to get him out, he hasn't been to a cruise in over a year. He must be lonely.

Where? at FedEx? That might be possible. I need to take the GT6 out and stretch her legs.

Yeah, I think FedEx is the only place you can stretch the GT6s legs :)


PS I can't do the 13th either, there's a rallycross that day :p:

Zoolander 04-02-14 03:19 PM

The weather is looking great for this Sunday. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the 13th. I'll monitor this thread for changes...but it looks like I'm going to miss another one of these fine events. Rocky - if you're taking a drive to FedEx on Sunday, let me (or this thread) know....I may be able to join you. The FD needs a run after this long ridiculous winter.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Shoot... at the very least give me a heads up/PM and I can meet you in Old Town Alexandria one weekend (with my bike) and take you for a nice little run through Southern MD :bigthumb:

Sorry for the scheduling conflict dude, It seems like you are always left out. Yeah I'd be down for stopping by the AutoX on Sunday. I've never been to one at FedEx and want to check it out before I try and run there. I don't know what would be the best time to stop by and have a look but maybe Mike will chime in and let us know.

I'll be in the morning, running approximately around 10:30 till noon-ish.

I won't be in my rx-7, I'm co-driving my little brother's BRZ, but David Lane will be there in his turbo GSL-SE driving at the same time as me :)

I wouldn't be able to make it to Capital, it's too far from me.

Sounds good. Might have to hit up a few more auto-x's to brush up on the skills though.

No worries Rock. It could always rain next week and it'll be rescheduled. :) Good looking choice on grub though....I'm always on the look-out for a Chap's Pit Beef (in Baltimore) equal. I'll confirm later today on tomorrow. You're going to plan on leaving around 9-930 then? Anyone else up for a mini roadie?

Damn, I was hoping it'd be going later then that. I won't be back in the area from a camping trip till noon. I'm still down for meeting up if you want Duc, but I don't think I'll be able to make it to the autox before mikes done though.

He's On Toroids 04-07-14 08:50 AM

Alright everybody, the cruise is coming up Sunday so I need to get a final head count of who intends to show up so I know who to look out for.

Duc and I ran the route yesterday and apart from a couple of poorly patched roads, two U-turns, and a sloped entrance to the BBQ stand (take it at an angle), it's pretty good. It is also a lot shorter then previous routes so we can use the unspent gas money on other things:icon_tup:

ROUTE MAP

Weather shows a possibility of fog but only 10% chance of rain so far. We'll keep an eye on it as the week goes by.

Rough Schedule is as follows:
  • Bob Evans for Breakfast: Eaters show at 9:30, Meet'rs show before 11:00
  • Capitol raceway: Gate opens at 11am, Open session from 12-2. Spectator Fee $15, Test & Tune Fee $30
  • Short Cruise & BBQ stand in Odenton: 2-3:30
  • Short Cruise to Autobahn and Go Karting 3:30-6
  • Short Cruise to and drinks at The Ale House 6-?

Right now I have these people listed as showing (Let me know if there are any changes):

1)He's on Toroids - Rocky

2)87FCna - Shane & GF

3)MolotovMan - Ian

4)SDelong2 - Stephen

5)plax are meth - Yani

6)driftxsequence - Dave

7) ArmitageGVR4 - Matt

8) 93rx74lyfe - Justin & Gf

8) JL1RX7 - Jack

9) Fendamonky - Levi

ArmitageGVR4 04-07-14 10:29 AM

I'm still in!

driftxsequence 04-07-14 10:38 AM

I'm out. blown trans :( Sorry guys! Next time.

My replacement trans had a broken shift return spring, so I attempted to swap the spring from my original trans and now the replacement trans wont go into 5th or reverse. This is my only hang up right now D:

Molotovman 04-07-14 02:31 PM

I'm in.
