What about next 11/18 or 11/19?
Thursday the 19th would be best since I get off work Wednesday morning and would still require sleep.
This way we can start early.

Do you want me to borrow the transjack?

Black05Turbo8- I'll PM you my cell number and you can call me when you arrive so we can look out for you.
That way you don't look retarded coming in and not knowing who to look for (though just look for the large group of people)

Well, keep in mind I have to work during the day... so Wednesday would start around 3ish... let me know if that works.

Also... the trans jack would be good, but without taller jack stands, it won't be much use. Pulling the trans would be a good goal for the day though... pulling out interior stuff is stuff I can do alone. But again, we're limited by the height of the stands...

Hey, I'm out for tomorrow. Megan and I won't be there. I have a few things I have to do to the 8 to get her ready for an autocross over at BeaveRun and unless I do them I can't run.

I'd do it in the morning but I don't feel like getting up at 7am if I don't have to.

Figured I'd let you guys know so a) you aren't looking for us when we don't show up, and b) you won't need to hold a spot for us.

Good to see everyone last night.
Now I get to work on the gauges Ryan gave me.
Something to do now that I'm off work the rest of the month (I hate sitting around bored).

Also have to recover pictures from a damaged laptop hard drive.
Managed to get them extracted, but the pictures lost some of there binary so it sees the file as a JPEG, but can't actually view it.
Tried a few dozen picture repair programs without success. ::sigh::
Just another reason you should ALWAYS back-up important files (especially pics of your children from the past few years).

Special thanks again to Jon for all your help yesterday.

Enjoyed getting together. It really is a pleasure to have all of you so helpful. We are very fortunate to have so many generous people in the local area willing to help each other out!

Problem is I can recover the data (I use OnTrack's EasyRecovery), I just can't repair the damaged JPG files.
I can see if your program recovers the files "better".

Ive used EasyRecovery in the past and had mixed results. EasyRecovery is really good if a file was just deleted but it always had problems with recovering lost data.

Hey - good time last night. Nice to meet everyone in person. Who had the extra "E" clips to hold my SSV actuator together so I can get the wire off there? Also, I forgot to ask RE: parts. I could use a new windshield, my looks like it has been sandblasted who had the donor car with 74 miles on it and does it have a windshield? Thanks

At work we have an assortment drawer with various size e-clips.
I can just grab several sizes that are close and give them to you.
I don't go back to work until Tuesday though.

Cool thanks. No rush it has been a few weeks and the wire is holding.

Also, if anyone is looking for TPMS there is a set of four on eBay that might be a good deal.

fun meet friday, thanks for coming out.

Turbo, it was cool to finally see your car!

Jon, where is my beer? And facebook told me today is your birthday, congrats on making it another year.
Also, we may have to reschedule this wednesday for just a later date. I have too much work to do on the house before kristen and I move in at the end of the month.

If anyone is bored and feels like inhaling some paint fumes, we'll probably be putting on the finish coats of paint this weekend.
