Been wondering where you have been Lauren....Havn't seen you on the boards in a while either! Be carefull with work and school, I heard both can make you go crazy!

 

Ryan, that made my morning. I didnt realize how silly it sounded until you put it in your sig.

 

Oh I'm already there. Craziness!

hey guys it looks like the deal is in for Deal's Gap. I was wondering if anyone wanted to go in on some cabins. I think the biggest one is 3 bedrooms which can be had for ~135(about $45 a person). I just thought it might be nicer for the RRDI members to have some cabins versus rooms probably better for hanging out and what have you.

I will probably want to stay Friday and Saturday; leaving on Sunday. I know I heard some of the guys at the last meet talking about staying over Sunday night too.

Of course I think that you can get a regular room for $38 with two twin beds.

If anyone is interested in the cabins let me know.

 

Pm sent: I hope your project is moving faster than mine! My painter still has done nothing.

 

Well guys I got the exhaust fixed. It only cost me $40 at Henry's Muffler but he had to cut out most of the right tail piping. He saved the resonator and fabricated new piping to fit into the bent inlet of the muffler. It pretty much looks the same and pull just as hard, except the tip of the muffler is bent a bit and looks slightly elliptical. I may try to hit it with a rubber mallet to see if I can get it back into shape a little bit more.

 

ray how big is the tip? 4" maybe if we found some steel tubing and bend it back into shape.

 

Bert;

Please send me a GRR pic (large Size) for theT shirts You can E-mail it if you want johny@halifax.com

 

Bert;

 

Does anyone have a stock working radio and equilizer for an 85 that they would sell me? The radio in my GS works, except for the tape player and I want to put one in that works completely.

--Lauren

 

Do you really want OEM stuff that bad? You could get a headunit for cheap on ebay...

 

Paging BERT:

Would someone go to the ACURA forum and get Bert?

 

I don't want to pay shipping, I'd rather just pick it up if I can.

--Lauren

 

Ray, before you go banging on it with a rubber mallet you might want to try reshaping it with a C-Clamp, pad it pretty good and slowly tighten the clamp until the end is back to the original shape. You'll have much more control over the final outcome that way.

 

I'll email it this afternoon or tonight. I'll also bring a floppy with all logos on it to the drive-in on Saturday. Are you going to be able to make it Saturday? If it will help we can find some vacant parking lots in RTP if you feel the need to go driftin' for a while.

 

Welcome back.
Ill be there Sat. I want to bring a white shirt and a black one for you guys to look at.

 

Have a nice vacation, Bert?

Well here are some pics of my new engine.

 

Josh,

I think the engine goes on the inside of the car! That is a big *** turbo, are you polishing the housing? Thats what Im doing. I ported my water pump impeller yesterday I used my burr and smoothed out the rough casting. I know its a waste of time but I don't have my car here to sit in .

 

I am actually going to powdercoat the housing too. I have half my engine sanded and ready for powdercoating. I just need to get off my *** and do it now that I have everything prepped.

I kinda like the engine on the stand. It is easier to work on than in the car.

 

Good grief that is a big turbo, Josh.

--Lauren

 

Hey Johny, I don't want to burst your bubble but most of us have seen black and white shirts before. We won't be impressed unless they have the GRR logos on them.

Are we going to be able to get long sleeve shirts too?

 

Josh is trying a new concept in rotary power. He is installing a rotary turbo with engine assist. That way the engine will last longer. Way to go Josh, now you have the women swooning over your car. This rebuild must be a good thing, you're now impressing the right age group anyway.

Everybody ready for a cold Saturday Drive-In?

 

Man I look at that thing and I think of Arnold in the True Lies movie. "I know what that is, it's a snowcone machine.....etc..." That puppy is large, looks like a damn siren or something, you sure the hood is gonna close?

 

Lauren, Johny, & Greg. It is a pretty big size turbo. However, we all know it isn't the size of the turbo that matters, but how much boost it's running. It does barely fit, I saw it in Jon's car.

Bert, I think I am finally impressing the right age group, because I will finally have the performance to backup the aesthetics. (eg my RX7 isn't rice: all bark and no bite)
