Ok, need to decide where the next one is happening and when...voting will end in 10 days so people know at least 2 wks in advance where we are having this...

 

I'll vote for a date... but I say skip Columbia and lets do an upstate meet w/ the driving. We haven't done that in a while. March = people not needing cars tuned have something to do thats fun, April = people needing and getting tunes get that taken care of.

If we do Columbia then in April, I probably won't stay too long... I'll show up for pictures and to hang out for a while but after that I'll just go drive or something.

 

a March Upstate meet will be for the purpose of driving since we won't get a chance to do one during the April tuning

 

I might be able to finally debut my grey '87 rx7.
One thing about it is the suspension sucks, so I wouldn't want to drive it in the mountains.
But I probably will, to get some break-in miles on it.

I know there are a few newbie rx7 owners in the Irmo area, we can probably find them at the ricer meet.

Either place doesn't matter to me so ill vote for both.

One question I have with the poll is why is there 2 dates for this meet?

 

probably because one date could be more convinient. and which rice fest are you talking about?

 

exactly! instead of having one poll/thread for place and then a 2nd for date...figured i would just put them into one...

 

i think you guys would have more fun upstate might me wrong but i wont be making it my Trannni took a **** about 15 minutes ago and itsn't getting fixed till i have a job to pay to fix it. so chances are the last meet was my FCs last meet for along time.

 

Damn, it's a manual tranny. Parts are cheep. Yank the SOB out and fix it.

What do you mean 'took a ****'? Won't shift into gear? grinds? sticks in a gear? makes a God-awful noise all the time?

Last time I coupletely rebuilt a T56, I limped it to a friend's shop at 2pm, benchpressed it out, tore it down to the last snap ring, put it together, benchpressed it in, and I was on my way home at 11pm.

Anyway, PM if you wanna continue talking about it. Don't want to get off on a tangent so early in the thread.

On a good note, my car is kicking some *** and looking pretty friggin fine. When you get in with a lady, if you listen very close, you can hear the dash say,

"take off your pants.....

take off your pants"

As long as I can get a day off somewhere in my schedule, I'll be there.

 

first gear blew into amillion peices seconds now missing teath 3rd and 4th are ok 5th and reverse done work.

 

and you know its missing teath because you can magically see the gears? lol

 

just change the fluid, it'll be fine

 

i agree with jamin. change the fluid. mine was ******* up and i did that and bam it was done.

 

he's looking though the big hole in the side of the transmission housing?

i think i would pay a $1 to see kenneth trying to bench press a transmission while laying under his car

 

If you're actually missing a gear and a gear with teeth, you're looking at ~$50 each for a new gear, if you have to tear it down.

Or, hell, just buy a new one from the classifieds. I've sold them before for $150.

 

I'm gunna go IF it is Upstate. I want the mountains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

 

/\/\ Agreed on the mountains, could always make it a weekend trip and hit the slopes for a day

 

I voted for the upstate myself, cause I don't like Columbia nor would it be worth driving that far. Besides, It's time to check out some new roads. Maybe Chimney Rock to Asheville, Trey you know the roads I speak of?

 

74-A? i've driven it several times..will be driving it on the 24th...

i've chatted with a few people about doing something like that, but we still have to drive an our from inman to get to 74-A and then there are limited roads off 74-a that are entertaining...so we drive an hour to 276 and have it and 278 to play on...

about the only good loop with 74a would be like...i26 -> 64 (towards Lake Lure) -> 74a to fairview -> u-turn and come back 74a to lake lure -> old #9 to old fort rd, down the mountain to old fort then some residental back roads back to lake lure and then either #9 down to SC or 64 to i26 back to SC...not really that great in my opinion for a meet...

now running 63 up and over the mountain and then turn right towards hot springs is a good run, but that gets us up close to Tenn and i'm not sure every one who comes from charleston is willing to drive THAT far

maybe we do another 178 -> 215 -> parkway (but probably not open) so -> 276 -> ceasar's head :-D u know, a good 4 - 5 hour trip once we get started

and eli...its with an A (tray that is...)

 

I know how to spell your name lmao, and when you spell my name w/ an upper case "E" instead of eli, then you'll get your "a" lol. I dont care what we do, but non of my idea's are ever kosher w/ the exception of the Rotary Parkway run, and it IS closed rite now . I guess we can just do what we always do, at least its in my neighborhood.

 

i love the mountains, but either date is the day before or day after my spring break. and ill be at the beach, i voted for columbia but upstate would be tizzighte too

 

OK its obviously gunna be upstate let's get a date picked so I can get the time I need from work. PLS

 

chip how much lead time do you need to put in for some leave?

 

None... Its the wife's work I'm referrin to. lol

 

ok, well, the poll ends in 4 days...so with the way its looking, should be a 3 wk lead time....hope thats enough...

 

I'mma gonna TRY to make this one (again).

South side, I have two 5 spd NA trannys available. You can have one for $125.
