ok so does anyone want to meet before hand and drive in together? got a spot to meet?

I'm in, just got done waxing and cleaning and ready to go. andrew and i will be heading down at the same time. i'm down to meet up somewhere just let me know.
are u still going brian? what time are u planing on being there or when are u heading there

yes jared and I will be going. still not sure about when and where we are going to meet. last fall it was a parking lot in manchester off 84.


show starts at 11 so I figure we should meet around 10:30.


I know its getting late but if you guys want to crash as my place tonight your welcome to.

I'll call Jared and get hime to post about when and where.

there is a commuter parking lot at this location. I suggest we meet there at 10:30

so is that a definite at 10:30? I called jared and left a message but havent heard back

yeah I called him also and haven't heard from him. I would say that 10:30 is a good time, shouldn't take more then 30 minutes at the most to get to CCSU. as with the past shows I think its best to get there early as the lot fills pretty fast.

ok do you have an address number so i can throw it in the GPS?

Something was funny about this one...

O, now i remember why....

yeah its to bad it had to rain yesterday.

Car drives well, got it running again around midnight friday. Instrument cluster is still acting up alittle but like I noted I know in general what wire to wiggle in the interior fuse panel to get it working again. I am going to try adding some solder to the terminal in the hope that it will make a better connection. I need to get the new front strut mounts installed. I have a slight vibration in the steering wheel now after changing the rear strut mounts and sway bar end links. With only a week to go I don't know if I will mess with the new brakes lines or not. It cruises great on the highway otherwise, making good power too.

almost forgot. alternator is working alittle better then the old one. so far I haven't seen under 13.2 volts .... nice strong 14.2 when I start the car. still think there is a voltage drain somewhere, but I'm not sure.

Maybe some di-electric grease could solve some problems?

it looked like it was running good. kinda hard to keep up lol
and looked great to

Where are the vids?
