I'd rather do it at one I'll have to drive back to columbia to be at work at 7 if we do it at three I can't come. but I probably won't have the car then anyway. I am trying to come up this sunday but the day before is a big st patricks day celebration here in columbia and I figure I might get tanked.

I may look at 195/60R13 to see whats available in that size but its got less patch on the pavement if you know what I mean.
Goin by his place this afternoon. I'll let you know what i come up with and all brands and such he can get. Thanks for the info Tim

Ebay has a couple of both sizes, for around 200 shipped I don't know how much those sizes should be. I'm used to buying 20s for my trucks.

Yep, tirerack has em cheap. The Coopers are the ones Cory (did I get that name right for workinprogress80) has. I'm not liking the raised white letters, a little too old skool for me I think. Thanks for the info. It never amazes me what you can by on Ebay.

We can discuss it at the next meet, maybe 1 is better. Sounds like it works better for folks that travel a bit to get there.

Since I suggested it, I can unsuggest it as well Nothings carved in stone.

Geez! Make up your mind! Just kidding. Either is ok with me. I have actually liked the 1:00pm meet better. It gives us more play time in the afternoon .

I'm in the market for a 79-80 gauge cluster in good shape. My speedo is f&^%ked and I want to get another cluster. Thought I'd check local fist before heading to the for sale section. I can get one on ebay for $60 shipped but I'm cheap. Any junkyards around that have SAs in them, let me know.

For the next meet I'm hoping to have my odo turnover. I need about 400 more miles and I'm driving to Raleigh and back later this week. Hopefully by Sunday it will only need 40 or so miles to turn over.

You are about to hit 900.

Almost as much as I have!

And I never really knew how many I had until I looked at it. Wow, and 98% of it was in the first gen section

Yeah theres a guy on fleabay that sells the 85 mph SA ones for 42 + shipping 18 = 60 bucks. I found one on here for 50 plus shipping but its a 120 mph 79 cluster. 30 plus shipping I could live with and I don't really care if its the 120 or not. I just want a speedo thats reasonably accurate.

this was not the usual place the domestics would meet up at (the palace). that happens once a month still tho.
It's not really broken up, Zac just got pulled over and escorted out of Huntersville. I guess they don't want your kind up there.

Many people still planning on getting together at the CPCC north lot in Huntersville, and I hear people gather in Concord at 9pm on Saturday near BRE Motorsports. I might be checking that out on Saturday.

Size? Price? Last I checked it was pretty big for a small turbo!
