All those who will be attending please reply to this post so we can get a head count. Also if you are attending, will you have any mods to perform?
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 03/30/04 08:42 PM
I will be there and I have mods to do but it will depend on what car I bring since I think I will be heading to London after the meet now. (got to love having your dentist in a different city)
Posted By: chongo Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 03/31/04 03:14 AM
Aye!!!
As for mods I'm not sure, but something will come up that day. Maybe wheels?
I will help others though!
Posted By: SnafuFlux_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 03/31/04 03:25 AM
Aye, and I'm the main reason, CNG conversion. also installing lower elky grills

I might do my rims too, if they aren't on there by then. They probably will be.

not much else, mines pretty big as it is.

I'll be sleeping over in cambridge the friday night and driving to Robs early sat morning.
Posted By: Chris@CTA Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 03/31/04 03:55 AM
I'll see if I am free that day. This is at your place (Rob)?
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 03/31/04 04:04 AM
Sounds like it will start early. I work till 1:00 a.m. Friday night and it takes an hour to get to Robs so I'm guessing I'll have to aim to be there for noon. Either way Breakie on the barbie @ Rob's LOL.
Posted By: timeless420_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 03/31/04 04:55 AM
Well....I'm out. I still work on Sat in April
Posted By: bigerik Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 03/31/04 05:05 AM
Not a clue what I will do, but do plan on being there.

I"ll come to heckle

Actually, anyone got a spark plug gapping thing? Seems very dumb of me to ask, but I'm always confused as to how to gap my plugs. Figured I'm going to start pocketing some of the very easy DIY stuff.

Where is it? Brampton? If so, sure I'll be there. I don't think I have any mods planned ... maybe TSS but I doubt it. But I can lend a helping hand.

Rob, I hope you have enough space for everyone
how many toilets do you have?
haha

I get giddy just thinking about the nice and big turn out this is gonna be. I sure hope its a nice day or I'll be pretty pissed.
Posted By: chongo Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/01/04 12:18 AM
All we need now is 96 2.5L GL AUTO (Michelle) to say she will be there.
I know she said she would be, cause she needs help.

WOW! That's a few people.
No going to store, guess I have to place an order for meat/chicken from one of my suppliers.

You sure you want the old hag there?

someone shoot me the address/time and what u want for a snack.

Rob you got a Canadian tire near by incase there is some need for special runs? I would assume yes but just to be sure.
Posted By: SVTCANUK_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/03/04 02:03 AM
Yep there are 2 relatively close. Approx 5Km.

Yall ready to attack the "hybrid" car?

I'm kinda nervous that we'll run into problems
its not that I dont have faith, its that my car will prolly be a biznitch to work with. but I really hope to get rid of the stupid hoses and lines that aren't needed

Mark I know you gave Rob the pics, but maybe we should post them for everyone else to look at

Answer to question NO!
Those pics would be cool to see.
Posted By: SVTCANUK_dup1 Pictures of Keith's Engine Bay - 04/03/04 04:12 PM
Here they are.



















Posted By: SVTCANUK_dup1 Re: Pictures of Keith's Engine Bay - 04/03/04 04:17 PM
From this I can see that we could use a stock air box if anyone would like to donate one and the accordian tube. If we don't have a box we will have to plug the holes somehow.
The pictures don't show the MAF sensor but it may be F'ed up as well. The only other thing that will require our attention is how the CNG gas is mixed into the intake. Is it through the fuel rail?
Posted By: chongo Re: Pictures of Keith's Engine Bay - 04/03/04 04:51 PM

(In the voice of the Looney Tunes Vulture.)

No,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no.
UM NO!

Good thing I have an EVTM Paper manual for the 96.
That wiring harness looks just nasty! Could take a full day just to figure them out.

Air box could be re-used silver duct tape over the holes. Trust me it works!

Accordian tube looks ok, don't see any extra holes, just plugged up factory ones. Maybe get a metal CTA intake tube just incase.

The MAF might be ok as it looks like the CNG is behind the sensor. The joining of the 2 parts might be the problem though.

Mark I can't remember, but when we had the LIM off to clean it I don't recall CNG on the fuel rail. Could be a T lower down?

The problem I see is would they have flashed the ECU with CNG codes?
If no wires are going to the ECU harness then we should be ok there.

I belive someone still needs a cruise control cable....
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: Pictures of Keith's Engine Bay - 04/03/04 05:22 PM
I think I have some cable somewhere if anyone knows where to get some splice connectors. As for the air box I'm pretty sure I still have my stocker kicking around. Just need to go hunting for it.
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/06/04 08:37 AM
Ok I have a mod to do. How about a head gasket? I have just finished buggering around with the car trying to source my coolant leak. Well From what I can see it may be coming from the block by the thermostat. Is it possible for a head gasket to let go to the outside of the block vs internally? It may still be a hose but its looking less and less likely by the day for that. It of course is in a bad spot to see what is going on. I need one of those mirrors on a stick or something. I took some pictures but Keith still hasn't shown me how to upload them. Anyways.......


As for you Keith while I was in the garage I found my old V6 air box and acordian pipe. I also found the pictures that we took last year during the UIM cleaning. This may answer the CNG supply questions.

On the upside to my night (look at the time I just got done farting around with the car.) I removed my old air resonator that was atached to the air intake pipe. I was getting tired of moving it to try to find my coolant leak and or replace hoses.
Posted By: chongo Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/06/04 01:36 PM
Mark that sucks!
Keith I think you may want to replace that cruise control cable now.
If you haven't seen SVT ST PETE's clutch pic's look at them. Cruise cable broke.
His broke and pinned open the throtle.
Posted By: SnafuFlux_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/06/04 02:25 PM
I don't think I'd have the same problem, but yes. maybe since we're working on it I might wanna replace that. I'll go to ford tonight and find out.

Mark, we'll get that done. our hours are screwed, so I'll have to write a detailed how to for you.

Rob I'll try and call Coreys today to see if they have a 99 tan dash in stock.
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/06/04 04:40 PM
98 dash. Not 99 Keith. Also Rob is going to double check but if I'm not mistaken all dashes are interchangeable. Since he has both cars.....
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/06/04 06:03 PM
I give up the car is going into Ford tomorrow to have them source the problem. Wish me luck. I really hope it is not a Head Gasket.
Posted By: chongo Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/08/04 03:39 AM
So were at 12 people with the ladies?
Just have to check as I need to order the chicken breasts from my supplier in a few days....

Don't worry I will get extra.
These will be my contribution to the Que! So no one needs to bring Chicken!
I know it's BYOM, but I'll get the poultry.
If I can't make it, someone better pick them up from me......
So far so good though.
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/08/04 05:20 AM
Yes Jenna is coming. Lets get a list togeher of what people are bringing. For the record Jenna and I will be on the good ole Atkins kick at that point but meat is good. Maybe some bring dessert and others snacks and what not. What do you think Rob?
Posted By: SVTCANUK_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/08/04 11:53 AM
Sounds good guys. I'll bring the garage tools and experience , along wiht my house and BBQ. What does everyone like to drink? I will supply beverages.

Actually since I can't really provide much, I was thinking I could do the bevies (non alcho).. or if not bevies what should I bring?
Posted By: bigerik Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/08/04 12:41 PM

Also, anyone ever done a SVT motor mount on a 95? Big job?

I'm partial to Doritos myself
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/08/04 07:01 PM
As for Alcohol. Perhaps we should make sure that Rob and Cheryl want to allow drinking at this event. Also bearing in mind we are all odviously driving there. Snacks though I would say cheese and crackers chips I'm thinking about bringing stuff for taco salad actually.
Posted By: SnafuFlux_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/08/04 09:43 PM
I won't be drinking.
I ahve to drive home. not happening
Posted By: SVTCANUK_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/08/04 09:54 PM
I'd prefer no drinking. I always have beer on hand but I don't want excessive drinking. I myself do not endulge in such practices .
Posted By: chongo Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/09/04 12:32 AM
Good thing I asked I had to order today!

Keith - baby carrots, celery, broccoli, etc....
for a veggie tray. veggies are inexpensive and yummy!

Diet coke for me, also I might bring a couple of beers (Guinness for me) just incase I want 1 or 2, but no more than that.

Don't worry Rob I can handle it and I know what you mean, I'm a pub manager!

Now all we need are directions.
Posted By: SVTCANUK_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/11/04 01:38 AM
My address is 55 Whiteface Crescent, Brampton. From 401/403 head north on Mavis to Brampton. At Steels Ave. Mavis becomes Chinguacousy Rd. Continue north and you will pass over 2 sets of rail tracks. Just past the second set is an intersection (Williams Pky.) where you will turn left. Follow this road to the stop sign and turn left (Marotta) again. Another quick left (Whiteface) and I am #55 on the right side.

This is a map of my neighbourhood. If anyone is comming from another direction I will provide them with directions. Just let me know.

It's easy Keith. From the 401 one street brings you right up to my neighbourhood. It's approximately 10KM from the 401. I will pace it and give accurate distances later this week.

Guys...would it be OK if I stop by for a bit with my SVT and 2-year-old son? My wife is working all weekend, and the 2 of us are looking for some fun activities. Won't be doing any mods, but just wanted to see some old faces, meet some new ones and see some talented wrenches at work.

Well I think today was a great success. Thank you all for coming out today. Cheryl and I had a great time. Sorry I didn't have enough time to socialize with everyone. I got pretty caught up in ripping out the NG kit but it was all worth it. Thanks again guys.

Rob & Cheryl (Orion & Soulin)
Posted By: bigerik Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/18/04 03:35 AM

I wish I could have stayed longer, but it was great at least meeting you guys and putting faces to the names.
And thanks for the ride, Mark. Was the highlight!

Hey Keith did you make a wrong turn?

Some pics here!
Posted By: Chris@CTA Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/18/04 03:47 AM
I had a great time today, good to see some old faces, and new too (Erik).

[Grammy Award Speech]

Thanks to Rob and Cheryl for the use of their home and hosting the meet, thanks to Jeff for cooking up a storm, thanks to Mark (and Jenna) for letting me drive their SE, miss mine very much.

Thanks to Vito for bringing me to the meet, and to Aaron for giving me a ride home.

Thanks to Richard for taking lots of pictures, and thanks to Chris, Martin and Keith. Did I miss anyone?

Hey, I should say thanks to Wesley too, for a very entertaining horn on his Contour.
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/18/04 03:57 AM
Thanks all. Jenna and I had a great time too. Sadly Keith got a CEL not 300 meters out of the subdivision. I'll let him ramble on about that though. Glad we did this and hope we do it again very soon.
Posted By: SnafuFlux_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/18/04 04:01 AM
yup I've said thanks like a million times already so I don't need to go into specifics. Thanks all to how helped and just showed up. I really owe everyone. The drive to oshawa was a spirited one, but alas I do have a CEL again. I'm at a loss, and have no idea what it is (is that a surprise?)...

anyways thanks all, and have a good sleep, cuz I konw I will.

oh yah I want all pics
Posted By: GapBoyPCS_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/18/04 04:33 AM
Thanks go out to everyone for coming out to the meet. It was great seeing some new and familiar faces.

Special thanks go to Cheryl & Rob (Mrs & Mr SVTCANUK) for allowing us to turn their garage upside down. I'm sure that VW Golf buddy boy has will STILL be cruising up and down staring at us again Hope you enjoy the fine beverages we all left for you.

Special thanks to Jeff (chongo) for cookin' up a storm. Additional thanks go to Jenna & Cheryl for gettin' everything set up.

I'll get my pictures posted very soon. I'll be sleeping well after tomorrow's SVTOA meeting (which I hope to see a few folks from today out there).

PS> Car runs great with new plugs. Gas mileage seemed to go up a notch tonight goin' home.

Cool By the way any grey pre 98 console will do what you are looking for. Only thingto watch out for is the very early 95's. That were a different design. (Maybe from the Mondeo?) they will have a drawer that covers the cig lighter as well as the ash tray.

A drawer? What kind of drawer is that?
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/18/04 05:30 PM
It is a spring loaded drawer just like the one on our ash tray. As a matter of fact it reall is just an extension of the ash try drawer.
Posted By: bigerik Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/18/04 05:46 PM
Ok.
Sounds cool. Haven't seen one like that. Should take a look in my 95 Brochure. Wonder if it is in there.
Posted By: mbb41_dup1 Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/18/04 09:38 PM
Man I wish you had brought that brouchure yesterday. I've been wanting to see one but am to cheap to fork out the dough to buy one on E-bay.
Posted By: bigerik Re: April 17th Mod Meet - 04/18/04 10:28 PM
Crap. Wish I would have known.
Whens the next meet anyhow. I can drag it along there. Or let me know if you are passing thru T.O. I will tooss it your way.
Speaking of ebay, bought a 95 ford service manual from a guy in the states for only 10 bux US. Got killed on shipping, cause it is a big, heavy bugger. Can't wait to have a look at that and REALLY scare myself when I see how complicated these cars are....

Sweet!!!!!

Had a party come in tonight with a major problem. Seems they spent $125 on a b-day cake,
but the baker decided to ice the cake while it was warm.
Can you say load shift.

Needless to say the first thing my staff did was call me. One hour later the ladies thought I'd performed a miracle.

Glad you all liked the food, those that missed it to bad cause I'm retiring......
