Well, the White One II project counts for 4 12A equivalents because of its enormous potential.

And Gene's 1st gen Miata is pretty cool too, so we need to give it a 12A equivalent too.

And of course the Blue One deserves extra credit, 3 12As at least.

So that would be 8 12As, by my count.

Yea,

Installation time is adversely affected by the beer to wheel ratio, so I am surprised you got them on that quickly!!!!!

Your place looks really nice, Ray! It's been a while since I've seen it. I like that big shed!

Mike, do you have any advice for installing a FC oil cooler and lines onto a FB?

I sent you a PM Tim.

Brett, I have a write up I got off the 1st gen tech section using u-bolts to attach it to the big metal pipe infront of the radiator. If you can't find it let me know and I'll bring it to the March OGTA meet. I had high pressure lines fabbed up at Lawrenceville Auto. Can't remember how much, but they're good to like 2000 psi. We can talk more at OGTA, but I won't have my 7 there. It it getting more TLC.

Boss switched days off on her, so unfortunately it threw a wrench in all of our plans. Won't be able to make it, booo. Definitely have to catch up with you gents and gals real soon.

Yeah, if Donnie doesn't show up, I'm going to be disappointed. He's a hard dude to synch with.

Also, I'm hoping Tara shows up in her new SE, and brings that dredgiling Brett along with her, I need to get some 13Bs from that guy.

Next meet is tomorrow evening at the Tilted Kilt near the Mall of GA.

I'm not sure how to link with the new google maps, but if this helps you... https://www.google.com/maps/dir//34....m3!4m2!1m0!1m0

I think the old guys show up around 6:30... Or atleast that's when I plan on showing up.

The March OGTA is shapping up well. Looks like we could have a couple of new guys. Tara in her FB, so she can give Brett a ride home when his Bimmer won't start. And it sounds like we may have a special guest from Jefferson, GA. Now, if Donnie could figure out a way to wonder over...

See you guys tomorrow night.

It would be fun to make a project out of that blue opal.

You'd have to upgrade everything on it though, opals looked great but they were strictly '60's technology.

Do you guys only meet once a month? I'm a student at Georgia Southern but I visit my parents in Lawrenceville occasionally. I've had this 85 GS for a year now and it's getting kinda lonely only having my unfortunate piston friends to talk car with. Do you guys ever meet on weekends as well? I wish the Savannah club down here was more active, I don't even think they meet.

Yeah mostly just once a month, with occasional meets on weekends but nothing very frequent.

Dang, I guess I'll just check the thread before I come up and see if you guys have anything going on. Other than that I'll try and swing by in the summer.

OGTA has been known to organize special meets for out-of-towners.

See y'all this evening.
