As soon as we get there!!!!

 

hahahaha, yea, well the chip finally arrived today, but the new MB is having some serious issues and it is locking in bios setup, if it can even get that far....

 

Over-nighting new mother board for saturday delivery......uggggh.

 

^^^ thats a good thing. better tomorrow than lets say monday.

I'm waiting for sillykone couplers. My car won't run with out them.
I hope they show this week or.............else !

 

After reading through this whole thread this morning, I'm envious of the good times you have ahead. Be careful, have a great time, and take plenty of pictures so I can see what I missed.

By the way, I like the stock corners on the VR8. Clear doesn't work for me. I just put a set of all season tires (Bridgestone Potensa RE960AS, 245/40/18) on the 8 here in Indy. Can't believe the difference it made in tire noise. I knew the RE040s were bad. I can hear my radio now. However, I'm paying a big price in performance... the nimble feel of the car is gone. Front end feels heavier and slower. Oh Well.

By the way... I came out of Discount Tire... noticed my TPMS was on... pulled back in... checked my tire pressures (DR=26.5psia, DF=26.0psia, PF=31.5psia, PR=38.0psia). Needless to say... I brought this to their attention. When I rolled out... 35psia all around. Gotta wonder about a tire place that misses things that bad???

Well, have a great time at SSX. Wish I was there to drive with you!

John

 

Hi John, good to hear from ya. We'll miss you at SSX.

 

7 DAY'S TILL SSX

6 DAY'S TILL CRACKER BARREL

Are you getting excited yet?

 

Yea, me too, just had two tires installed on the rear Hiro Axis wheels at Discount yesterday (with the TPMS I bought here on the forum), and I get home to notice that there are 13!!!! wheel weights on one, and 7 on the other, scratches on the centerbore paint (& I don't use centercaps), nasty lube crap everywhere, and to top it off, one of them had an extra rim-clip-on style weight on the back side rim edge that is causing a small leak! I could see and hear the bubbles popping from the bead. My god.

Oh, and I got the replacement MB this morning, but same ****!!! I think it might be the used T7200 Intel CPU I got.... the guy shipped it wrapped in normal bubblewrap in a box (no antistatic anything). Probably zapped the damn thing real good. What next.

 

btw, I just booked a room at the Worst Western on the other side of the freeway for thursday night.

Hey Eric,

So I've read about your bad luck with engines recently. What happened to the first one? That is first engine/second car. Enjoy the trip out and say hello to everyone for me.

 

We'll sure miss not having you along!

 

wow, i give you guys major props for caravaning ALL the way from az...good god, good luck all..

:AA:

 

Are you rolling out early? Remember I need you for a room!!!

Oh, and the Rockblocker is for the new carbon fiber hood, to protect it from rock chips (duh) and to prevent the cf from fading. A friend has one that is 2+ years old and it looks news still.

 

Thanks Swt. Have a great trip. SSX seems to be shaping up nicely.

 

We'll miss ya Turbine. How's it going out there anyhow 'eh?

Hey man, no worries, the hotel I was referring to above was for thursday night in Phoenix, cause there ain't no way I am gonna be able to get up early enough to drive to Phoenix from Tucson, and still meet everybody at the cracker barrel on friday morning... I will be staying on the other side of the freeway on Litchfield.

Gotcha on the Rockblocker... thought it'd be easier to have it properly clearcoated, but this sounds like a viable option.

see you all in a few

 

lol...cracker barrel.

:AA:

 

looks like a 40% chance of scattered showers in Irvine for Friday Get those cars into the parking structure asap and make sure to bring quick detailer and microfiber towels.

 

I was reading that earlier on the Weather Channel. Also looks like a chance (30%) on Saturday too.

 

Rain would be different.

Does Irvine have wind with it's rain? Do I need to bring a shade structure too? I got my 'brella.

Rain might make for nice pictures.

Will the serial numbers run on my raffle tickets if they get wet?

And at least we will have access to plenty of dry shirts!

And I am not ready yet!! Oh well, have credit card will travel.

 

Thanks for the heads up Jedi. Altho, we'll be bug-smattered from the drive as it is


Final email with meeting times/locations and contact #s was sent this evening. If you did not receive it and you plan to caravan, please PM or email me immediately.

Thanks!

 

If anyone has a SS-X banquet ticket they are willing to sell, I have a buyer who will pay cash on site at SS-X.

If you do or know someone who does, please PM or email me. Thx!
