If it is sustantially less, time to look for a blockage.

Sorry. No red pieces. A few grey, but that is about it.

We can poke around your car if there is time. I don't mind.

ok that sounds good

cars are NOT FEMALES!!! Why does everyone have to use "her" when talking about cars? Personally I take that to mean your car is a wet vagina!! A masculin car deserves a masculin tag!! If anything call it a him. But They are cars!! IT is the proper reference terminology IMO. That is all for my rant, I have never understood that and never will. I know it goes waaaay back into maritime history for the orgins of it , And even that, I'll never sail a ship referred to as "her" Mainly because I don't trust anything named after a creature that bleeds for 5 days and LIVES!!!

Exit soap box.

1 week till ZOOM-FEST!!!

If anyone wants to do anything Sunday, we should get a plan together. If it's cool, how about the BK in Mooresville like usual. Anybody?

I can't agree more. I never refer to my cars as anything but cars. Besides it would make my wife even more jealous of the 7

I haven't been to a BK meet yet. Wheres that BK at in Morresville
again? Not sure I'll make it, I may be putting on a "new" exhaust.

BTW that exhaust is a "cop" exhaust, really. It came from mazdaverx713b,
he's a cop up in ohio. He saw I bought the setup and chimed in on the 4
sale thread that it was his. I asked him for the history of it and heres
what he said:

i unfortunatly did not buy it new. it came out of columbus ohio originally and was one year old and less than a thousand miles of wear on it when i bought it. i put less than 500 miles on the exhaust. the sensor bungs were welded on because the car it came off of had been converted to fuel injection and was using an oxygen sonsor or two..

So, just Kory and Stu tonight?

Pick a place and post it up by say 2pm. It would be cool to get something to eat and hang out a bit. We could poke around Kory's car too. Location doesn't matter. I just need to know so I can map it out. Whatever is easiest for you guys.

I probably can't get down there until like 7pm. I have a meeting that will probably go to like 3pm and it is about 3hr15 or 3hr30 to get down there. Plus I need to get gas and such.

Patrick,

I will be there all day Friday (tomorrow). I'll be at Daniel's house working on his SA. Do you know where he lives? I know that he knows you. I think you gave him a carb, right? Anyway, drop by sometime during the day. Maybe we can all go to lunch or something.

You did get the tranny from Sam, correct? Just making sure since I was out of the country for a few months.

Kent

Cool. I'll write down your number and bring it. I don't have a cell, but we can call you from Daniel's place. If you have Daniel's number, maybe you can give him a quick call. He was going to pull his intake today, but I forgot to tell him about the coolant passages! I'm not sure if he knows that he needs to drain the coolant first. See ya tomorrow.

Tim: The BK is on Williamson Rd. Coming from 77 you would turn left and go about 2 miles I would say. It will be on the left hand side of Williamson. Turn right on Williamson if coming from my direction

Well I just PMed Kent and he said he should be around Mooresville around 7:30. I told him to meet up at the Target parking lot behind Ocharlies, and when the gang all arrives we can go out.

Cool with everyone else? Who all is going to be there, Kory, Andre, Me?

i agree, its kinda odd when someone refers to a car as a woman but in english IT is the proper terminology since the english language doesn't incorporate gender definition for objects. in spanish a car (carro) would be masculine, and in french (la voiture) would be feminine, but we are using english.
