AZUSA CANYON (so cal) MEET (interest check)

[Acid X]

Alright, well, the azusa canyon is sick, basically. Last time we had a meet up there it was pretty fun and a lot of people enjoyed it... Now, the problem last time is that we actually didnt even barbeque up there because we had a pos barbeque and the wind was against us.

ANYWAY, i'm just checking to see if anyone feelis like going up GMR again to have a more successful meet. I'd like for ALL of the so cal people to show up, i'm tired of seeing the same 3 cars. Ridiculous, lol.

SO! If we get this going, i EXPECT to get a date set where everone who says they are going to go, actually GOES. I'm going to be taking a month off of work (well, i'll be jobless really and then taking a short vacation) and i'll have time.

Now, these are the people who i've seen alot recently:
B16KILLA
MkyMonkey

Yes, that's two people.. Gio made it up to the last azusa canyon meet but he's done stuff to his car since then and i haven't had a chance to check it out.

These are the people who i'd LIKE to see show up (as well as those two):
3gmodifier (Alex)
Gfrg88 (Giovanni)
WickedAccord (Jon) -- Careful though, lol.. Power + turns = hazardous
Cheeseburger (Abraham)
1320boy (Steven)
Adams86lxi (Adam) -- If you have your car finished.. Hopefully. Tired of seeing that thing parked!

And isn't there a few new so cal people to the board? I'd like to see them too!

Anyway, like i said, this is just an interest check. Let me know what all of you think...

hey everyone, sorry i have been kind of mia, well sort of. i have been on everyday now for like two weeks but i have been having some trouble with the ride so i have been in differant threads desperatly looking for help. i have been so worried about tring to fix the ride that i really didnt even pay attension to the meets and location threads. thanks for the pm acidx. i would love to go. i just hope i fix every thing in time. in case you are wondering what is messed up, i will tell you. i must warn you it's a long one........
it all started about two weeks ago when my car overheated. it's been hot so i figured it was just so hot and maby my coolant was low or something. i just happened to overheat on the 60 freeway ware all the construction is and there is no shoulder to pull over in and there is bumper to bumper traffic. unfortunatly i had to drive the car with the temp gauge pinned to H for almost 5 minutes. i finally get off the freeway and check my radiator. it is completly empty. so i get some water from a gas station and get her home. couldn't figure out exactly what happened to i drained the water and refilled with coolant. all things good right, wrong. two days later it happened again in heavy trafic. this time i had water with me but it still sucked ass. at this piont i think i might have leak or some thing so i buy some radiator flush and some stop leak. i do a complete flush and filler back up. this time it lasted a whole three days later, yup it happens again. so this time i am pretty sure i know what is wrong. i have i blown head gasket. the next day i take everything apart. check the gasket and besides being the original and looking like shit, it was fine. now i am stumped. well i couldnt just put the head back on with out decking it, so i take it to my local machine shop and they mill it for me. they also do a complete vavle job and minor port and polish. when they were done it looked like a brand fuckin new head. only$60 too. i go home put eveything back on. put a new water pump, new thermostat, and all hoses. now i am like, fuck yeah. all new parts, modified head, it should run great. but it doesnt. the mother fucker still overheated just idling. now i am really confused. well to skip about 10 hours of scratching my head, i realized that the whole problem was a faulty temperature fan switch. my fan never came on. that along with an old thermostat was really the bulk of my entire problem. ok so i fix that and finally the car stays cool, but now all of a sudden i have another problem, there is a grind/vibration that only ocurs at a certain rpm. now i start to freak out cuz it is the same type of sound that i used to hear before i replaced my tranny. a day or so go buy and i figure that one out. it was my header touching the front lower crossmember. i made a notch and took care of that one. but wait, theres more!! now i go for test drive to make sure the noise is gone for sure and now my timing is all out of wack. it starts missing when i get on the throttle, and then claers up when i floor it and get past about 4000rpm. this time i am pretty sure i know what is wrong. since i have msd everything, the distributor cap and rotor dont last that long. and when they start to go that is what happens. so i get a new cap and rotor from honda, new plugs, wires, and fuel filter. and for the hell of it, i redid all of the msd bos wires. still miss fires. i get a timing light and check it for sure. it is perfect. and when ever i try to drive it, after the first take off the idle is is rough and jumpy. and that my friends is ware i have left off. tomorrow i am taking it to my friends shop to use his timing gun. his is real nice. i hope i can figure this last one out cuz with the head work and every thing else i replaced, for the small amount of time that i got a good drive, it was fuckin awesome. i have never felt this much power out of my car before, and i want that to be consistant. it seems like everytime i fix one thing, two more break. well enough about all of that. sorry for the super long post. needless to say i am busting my ass to get her running right cuz i dont want to miss this next meet.

[mkymonkey]

holy shit you got your head machined for only $60???@?!?!?! you have to take me there. for that price im willing to do the work of taking it off! i guess after the meet you and i are going to have to get together to do this! :D:D:D

[Acid X]
