Early planning for a new Florida meet...

[Tanya]

Hopefully can get a little more organised this time (not that there was anything wrong w/ the 1st meet)
Let's decide on at least the month right now, suggestions for events, place etc...
we want to try to have a dyno, so the cooler months are obviously better. any other suggestions appreciated.
:wink:

i think the meet should be in october with a dyno run setup. however, i also think we should have another bbq before then. the last one was alot of fun.

[Tanya]

yeah someone please buy some cooking utensils tho...
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I can arrange a BBQ here in Naples, but my body really says to wait on going on long trips for a bit

[Tanya]

omg I feel dumb what about the Las vegas meet? we may not be able to do this in October if a lot of Florida members want to go to Vegas...

[SupraWes]

I dont think anyone from Fla goes to Vegas except some of the big MK4 people like Titan, but I could be wrong.

Well, you all were right...it was the timing belt. $550 later my car is running again. I say we hold the meet in West Palm Beach so I don't end up stranded again 200 miles from home and have the worst weekend of my life ever. DH and I nearly strangled each other before we finally made it home Monday evening.

[Tanya]

:shock:
girl you should have called me, I would have fixed it for ya no biggie, $20 for a timing belt

[williamb82]

ya, $20 part and ~3hrs of labor tops.

[Tanya]

yeah the only thing I have a problem w/ is getting the pulley puller lined up on the harmonic balancer, then it's a breeze...
funny I was quoted $200 from a shop to do my timing belt a long time ago when I didn't know anything about fixing these cars...but I guess a lot of that bill is towing cost?
I feel for ya, I'm real sorry about that

[williamb82]

why do you need a puller? mine always slide right off. hard thing for me was to get the bolt loose. on one engine i broke 2 of my dads 1/2' drive craftsman breaker bars. and on erics car i broke a 1/2in-3/8 adaptor tqing the bolt down, and when i had removed it the first time his breaker bar was shaped like a semicircle before the bolt broke loose. i was afraid the damned thing was gonna break and then hit me and id end up in the emergency room for stiches.
