i have also been stocking up on soda.
there won't be any steak tips this year due to financial difficulties, but if anyone wants to bring some or anything else to cook on the grill that is fine.

I will be there with Jess and I think that we will be coming up friday night to avoid a real early morning and early drive.
Elky I am sure me and some others could send some bills your way so that you can pick up some steak tips if not i will chip some in to help pay for the food anyway.
as for what I am bringing, I'll get some chips and cookies, and some soda or ice tea

Dang. I am free ... all that week ... except the 7th and the 8th.  (working 2 days a week right now, and you can guess what two days those are ...) If luck strikes me and I get that office job I interviewed for, then I can quit Wal-Mart for the summer and have my weekends back for the first time since last year ... till then have fun at the spring meet guys!

I'll be there Saturday.
I've got an aggressive maintainenence/mod plan for this event.
Front brakes/rotors
DMD (if time permits)
Install K&N with MAF Adapter
Knauberize
Rewire radar detector hardwire
Install Sunroof Express Open/Lighted Switch
Make Heat Shield
clean interior
Also, I know Elky lost some serious cash last year with all the food he bought. May I suggest a minimum $20/pp donation this year? I think that might get us them steak tips back!
I'll bring some beer for all.

I was planning on coming on Saturday for a little while. After my son's soccer game (I'm the coach), so arriving about noonish.
I can chip in for food, I'll grab some munchies.
I was hoping to have some help on an MTX fluid change, and a fuel filter change. Also, some pointers (just really need an orientation on some things listed in the "How-to" are) for a coolant change. I ordered my Redline MTL already.

No problem.
I'll be sure to bring the Fluid pump for the MTX change. Anyone is welcome to use it.

So who is up for tuning up a Mustang 5.0?
The one we bought just don't feel like it's putting down all its potential power. My 88 LX felt 10 times faster.
I checked the air filter and it's brand new. It's already got a new water pump, radiator, and thermostat. But still don't feel right.

I'll be there on Sat. for awhile but I will have to head back up too Manch. in the evening to pick someone up at the airport( so that means a 6'r instead of a 20 pack for me)...
And Burgers, dogs and Tips all sound great to me' I'll be mor'n happy to kick-back some $$$$ for food..
I don't know if I'll be doin' any work yet as my to-do list for the summer is pretty extensive, so I don't really know where to start right yet.... but it includes the following..... Full tune-up, UIM/LIM/TB cleaning, WP & DMD install, and flush and replace all fluids... man I wish I had a garage 
Oh yeah, just remember Dat I gots me some Elky mesh waitin to be install so that is a deff. to do for the meet..

Keith, Mike and I can always give you a hand with any project during the summer at our place. It's no palace, but there's decent space here to get things done.
Keep that in mind if there's something you'd like to do.

Yeah, most weekends with good weather and little or no plans are usually spend in the garage or driveway. This weekend calls for a complete spa treatment for the truck. Engine clean, wash and claybar all that sheet metal, and NXT. That should take a good part of Sunday!

Turns out, I might not be able to make it, afterall.
We're trying to finish off a data migration from our old support database to our new, and we can't do it during business hours due to our traffic.
So, I'm stuck in the office while you guys have fun at the Elky Compound v. 2.
I'll try to make it up later in the day, but, I'm not sure how long it'll take to get the work done.

I was planning on coming on Saturday for a little while. After my son's soccer game (I'm the coach), so arriving about noonish.
I can chip in for food, I'll grab some munchies.
I was hoping to have some help on an MTX fluid change, and a fuel filter change. Also, some pointers (just really need an orientation on some things listed in the "How-to" are) for a coolant change. I ordered my Redline MTL already.
Something happened last night, and I'm not sure if I will make it. Plus I just found out my order for Redline MTL was delayed and may not arrive in time.
I had a front bearing changed on Friday. Yesterday as I was driving there was some noise and vibration, and my wheel FELL OFF ! Actually sheared through 3 of the studs ! Same wheel that was just worked on! I called the shop and had him bring his tow-truck right out and get it. He is going to make it right, but has already asked where I got my wheels and if they are still available !
I had my 3 year old in the car with me, and was about 3 minutes from jumping on the highway, so I was lucky/ blessed (depending on your beliefs) to be going 2 mph in a McDonald's parking lot, not 65 on the highway !
If I have the car back, I'll be there. If not, I can't strand my wife for the day and steal her van (even though I might want to). Hope to see everyone on Saturday !

Maybe! Are you sure that would be OK? That also means a 1 year old girl that gets into EVERYTHING and a very curious and talkative 4 year old boy, though...

Just a little warning, Elky has a very big dog (rotwieller sp). The dog is very nice, but it still kinda scares me. I dont know about you, but I tend to keep little children away from animals large enough to eat them. Don't get me wrong I doubt the dog would eat your kids, it would rather have a steak or something.

mean, sounds like a case of loose lug nuts. i hate mechanics that dont take the time to check their work.
without clicking the back button....if you have aftermarket wheels, it could be that they needed to be re-torqued.
the dog and children...never been a problem. jess has a 3 year old nephew and he and dino get along great. just dont run away from him, he thinks you are playing and may jump on you.
mesh installs. brian, if i have time friday night i hight do your grill then. the others, we will see.
the party ending...if you have to work until 5 pm, come by after work.
this year i think the people from rain might still come buy even if everybody is passed out or gone.
haroon...bring what you want. the sammiches sound good.
i just got in from the garage...hehehe
breaking stuff is fun....

Yes, definitely. When I heard all the racket I guess I should have checked them. But, they were the last thing I thought of, BECAUSE the wheel had just been worked on.
I do have aftermarket wheels, and the lugs are not visible. I think he fingertightened them and forgot about them.
I'm just happy that we were in a parking lot and not on the highway.
He has everything all fixed up today. He had someone refurbish (if that's the word) the wheel.

might rain sat and I don't think it will sunday
it seems if they say the chance is under 50% it doesn't happen, anything over 50% halve and that is your chance for the most part, or that is what I have always observed

if there is time to do it is it ok that I just pay you for what I use then?
fyi - I am going to bring the 95 electrical wiring manual, some wire (for sun roof switched), a long DMD bolt and washers, brake piston to install crank seals with and radio removal tools
I can bring a crank puller and sealant if needed, but also the sealant I have is alittle old so I don't know how good it is

When we moved to the house, I found a brand new set of Bosch Plug wires I had bought for the SVT. I bought them about a year and a half ago and they have never been out of the box.
First $5 gets them. I'll bring them along, if anyone is interested.

yup, just so we don't have to get up real early tomorrow and drive up, pretty much what I normally do
I'm done with my 40 hours this week at 3, so I could do over time, but I am going to head home and get my things together then head up after dinner and the evening traffic

Elky you going to have a supply of Berrimans (sp?) for us that want to clean our UIM's and LIM's that we can pay you for or should we bring our own? I ask because I haven't seen it around here or know where to find it
I have seen Berryman's at my local Auto Zone. Are people going to be doing UIM and LIM cleanings? I would love someone to walk me through this...
I'll bring a bottle in case...
Thanks all. I look forward to meeting everyone. I should roll in around noon, maybe earlier if the rain cancels my soccer game. I'm planning on bringing some munchies, chips etc. and some soda for the non-drinkers (like me).

If you want to clean the UIM and LIM, be sure to buy the proper gaskets. You'll want to replace them if you're doing this. Check out the FAQ for more information.
If you are just looking to clean it via vaccum line (aka Big Jim's method), then you won't need anything.

Yes, Mike and Jess, thanks for hosting a fun event! I had a good time. Thanks for the welcome everyone !
Darn the weather, I didn't get any of the things done that I wanted to, but that's OK. I'll muddle through with my CEG how-to's and Haynes manual. It was nice to meet everyone.
Thanks again !

Take some pics (and post them) next time you stick something outrageous in the Saab! Maybe you can start a photo collection of things it's hauled over the years
