Im going to pass. My car doesn't get tracked and I am still well within my B2B.

 

Alright then:
Ryan
Doc
Jon
Steve

Ryan, if you could swing by and grab Doc's that would be helpful.

Well, all sources tell me I should just take the motorcycle to a shop and get it painted. They said not worth the hassle of trying to do it myself.
After I buy all the supplies to do it right and then going through the time and trouble, it would be cheaper to have a shop do it... I don't know, frustrating.


Any word from the new guy that was going to go look at the 8 on saturday?

 

talked to a friend of mine that used to work at a paint shop... even he said take it to the pros. Painting fiberglass is costly regardless, you may as well have it done right.

As far as the clutch welding goes, im gunna take a look at mine before i make any final decisions.

 

Remember... the purpose of welding it is to prevent cracking, not wait until it cracks.
If you can sacrifice the car for a weekend, I would do it.

 

Ryan, I don't know what time I'll get home Tuesday night, but we can certainly hook up and you can take mine. Tnx.

 

Tuesday's the only night I can't come by but pick any other night this week and I'll drop in. Or just put in in a box outside your garage and I'll grab it.

I guess I'm working on my car on Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully I'll have my water adapter sensor in which case I'll add that, start installing my gauges, and then pull off my clutch.

BTW - label your parts. I don't want to do warranty work on a clutch a few months from now and have them notice I've got a combination of Doc's, Jon's, and Steve's clutch on my car.

 

Mine is the one with "racing beat" engraved on it.

 

Ryan, I'm sorry, I misread. I thought you said you wanted to come by Tuesday.

Let me know which night you'll be by.

I'll be home tonight (Monday) after 7

 

Hey weiners -

I forgot to mention this earlier - Saturday I went out to Lone Star steak house for lunch. Tasty blue cheese burger... anyway, they have an "Alamo Room" that a group can reserve and it looks to hold 40 total or 2 groups of 20. Just an idea for the future.

I guess Carrabbas also offers something similar to that also.

Food for thought... get it???

 

The Boneyard in Broadview Heights has one as well. A little smaller IIRC (~20) but you get your own TV. I'd definitely recommend it for gatherings in the cooler months.

No idea what it costs. Vaguely looked into renting it a few years ago for the NFL draft but after a few people bailed we opted to just sit at the bar. Ended up a good decision because a random group of people in a bus stopped in who were very drunk. Several of the girls started either making out at the bar or showed us their *****. Then they left. Couldn't have been there for more than an hour and it was still pretty early.

Most random bar event I've ever witnessed. Pretty damn awesome.

EDIT: Here we go:

I know the room at Lone Star was free... can't speak about anything else though.

 

Pizza The Hut!

 

Boneyard looks free too as far as I can tell. Just need a reservation 72 ****** in advance and have 15 people willing to be on one check.

 

 

Any leads on autoshow tickets? Maybe we can say we're from a high school news paper and get a discount...


"I'm a Mog! Half man, half dog... I'm my own best friend."

 

I am comming in late on this convo so just to make sure I understand, are you all taking out your clutch pedals to have them reinforced? Who is doing all the work?

 

what's happenin! Sorry about missing out on the get together. heather came home early from work miserably sick, to the point she thought she would need to go to emergency. I think she must have had something bad at lunch and got a touch of food poisoning.

Doc and Jon, i should just mail you guys your stuff, LOL. Seems like everytime this gets planned, something happens.

However, it looks like we're doing a "mod day" with clutch pedals? when is this?

I finally parked my 8 for the winter. bought a `92 ranger 4x4 on saturday. Washed the 8 top to bottom, full tank of gas with stabilizer, oil change and yanked the battery. plan to get a new one in spring. this is the original... so it's just not worth hanging on to.

man, what a difference between the 8 and that truck... good grief! I've never owned a vehicle that sits so high. It's unruly and loud... i love it, lol. Was funny though on saturday... wife and i took both of our cars to get the oil changed and the guy that was working on my car, says to me "Man i love your car dude! You must pick up a lot of chicks with it!" Told him, it does indeed get a lot of attention and my wife in the next stall over loves it as well. Poor guy was too embarassed to say anything else and went back to toppign off the fluids.

So what's the plan on clutch pedals? Who's doing the work, when and where?

 

I'll have a welder do it at the shop I work at. Its heavy steel fab shop, some quick tig welding should get these all squared away.

 

Does he work for beer? At this point with 6 clutches I think we are gonna owe him a keg...

 

Or bring him to the next meet and we'll buy him some beer.

 

Ryan, Where can we hook up tomorrow so I can give you the pedal?

 

Just let me know when you'll be home and I'll swing by after work.

 

I PMd you

 

i'll give you a license plate frame to give back to doc along with the reman'd pedal.

Still wanting to know where, when.

 

Outback Steakhouse - 7pm - January 10th.


Really, even to do 6-10 pedals, it won't be much longer than 30 minutes total. I'll probably try to weld my own pedal after practicing a few times (on your pedals)

No, just kidding...
