We meet ~monthly at the Fuddrucker's in Columbia. Pretty much centrally located for the majority of the group.

If you check this section you'll see it's been a little tradition for about a year now. Most of the threads have the address and directions, even maps. We started at Outback but half the group came unprepared and consumed just bread and water.

At any rate, I'm not sure when it will be... I guess I'll pick a day and start a thread now

I can't believe you guys are sitting around messing with the computers and typing on THIS forum instead of out driving on a day like this!!


Unless, of course, you're stuck at work like I am!

I was in my garage part of the day looking at the damage my tire did to my air filter (since it sits in the fenderwell, obviously a little too close). I'm going to need to relocate it before I drive it again.

I was also out to lunch with a buddy of mine, and cruising around in my other buddy's duallie since he just put 24" Alcoas on it (he's a little nutty like that).

Tonight I will be working all night long, and again tomorrow night. I honestly just don't FEEL like going for a cruise. I'm about to go take a nap so I don't fall asleep at work.

I want one! I was going to tear the one out of my parents 740 but they gave it to charity before I had the chance.

I vote that the next Fudd's meeting is scheduled at around 8 PM so I can actually go to one. Who's with me?

You monkey, I wanted to go...

What you gotta do is like the guy with the 1987 Stang 2.3 Turbo... Get three of those, sammich em together, and make custom end tanks. I think they only flow 350 CFM each... Or maybe thats the 740 IC...

Negatory. Get Sunday off for "religious" reasons... It's worked at all my past jobs.

The 940's intercooler is huge. It's almost as big as the radiator. It's also a stock front mount it doesnt need any modification or welding, I got the hoses and the brackets with it for free (they let me take the stuff)

I was thinking of mounting it upside down on the TII. the only problem with the IC is that apparently the turbo blew an oil seal, so the IC was full of oil. I'll just wash it out with gasoline.

there were few mercedies there with very nice condition seats, and an RX-7 first gen with a full RB system on it (I didnt want to bother unbolting it, it's still there, I didnt get it cuz it is for a 12a)

Most of the other cars there didnt have much worth grabbing, lots of turbos that are way smaller then even a stock RX-7 turbo though.



I checked all the other volvos in the lot, but they were only 740s and none of them still had the IC (I was looking out for you TII guys :p)

And hey, I couldnt bring you (Theo) with me cuz you're at work!!!

Man I destroyed some tires at the mazda event on Sat. The miata handles great. I had a great time but I am still never buying a miata.

Anyways I got the console panels done. We put 2 extra coats of clear on this time for a total of 6 coats. I like this setup better and we will do all our stuff with 6 coats now.

Now I will add my vert top switch to this and it should come out great.

yeah I will make you some triangle vents. I need a clean set first to use as a mold. Are 86-91 the same? and these will just be slash cut for the vents. Nothing crazy because these might look ghetto.

Jason,
the crazy rays off 695 is the best one. Its all organized and you have room to get the parts off the cars. No double stackers. And its not a mud pit which is always good. the one in b-more is not worth the drive. way to small and the only have one white 86 NA
