turbopete,

look for the "virginia area bs" thread - lots of TR folks in the Hampton Roads area. You should see the thread somewhere below, now that I "TTT" it (TTT means "to the top" - bumped up when someone adds a post)

after this meet we could definately have another meet in Southern VA. You VA guys just make it south central in VA and I wouldnt mind making the trip up. Maybe in Mid April??

Hey, I thought this thread started out as wanting to move East of raleigh? It has went the opposite direction and by 3 hours! When are you guys gonna come a little further to the coast than Raleigh for a meet? there are few enough GNs around here to start with and everytime a meet comes about it happens hours away from where I am. Don't leave the little people out. Come to the coast!

No, it never started as going east..., that was just TurboIndian forgetting his left from his right.

As for coming to the coast, I'm up for that. GHall and I mentioned maybe doing a gathering in the Wilmington area later this spring, early summer.

P.S.- You may need to cut your losses with AAMCO and use one of the suggested tranny builders mentioned to you here on the board.

What about it Clint???

 

[3.8vsix]

yea Clint, what about it!

 

[Sydwyndr]

Yeah Clint, What about it punk!!! ..........

Oh wait Thats me!

Cant get a tr only TNT but we can plan to all get together one day. Just check the web and let me know...

About the east only meeting. It is so hard to get everybody together from all of NC/VA/SC so it just seems better to move it from place to place for TR owners to get together from near their particular area. I personally think a Myrtle Beach/ mid - late fall get together would be really cool. Hotels cheap, like fri, sat, go back on sunday kinda thing.. Just an Idea

P.S.

Remind me NEVER to give directions to the Harrisburg crowd EVER AGAIN!! Alternators fail south of concord it seems...

 

[getchasum]

Clint, web page is looking good. Is the chat new?

SloGN....I have a shop I've dealt with here in Raleigh that rebuilds tranny's. He's in the process of doing the one in my buick and should be ready monday. He has done numerous tranny's in the area including my 6 speed in the camaro with all the viper upgrades and also the 6 speed in my friends vette. He has the availabilty on all the parts to do any upgrade you want to the 200r4. Reasonable price to and I'm sure you could have it back and in by the 12th. Here is his web site:

His name is Craig Staples and his phone number is (919)570-1707

What's "Frantic Friday"?? I guess we could just plan on being there for the BOP event June 26th.

I'll make plans for the 2nd Annual Rock-n-Rally as well!! Count me in for that one.

[Fasstcars]

The 26th of June sounds good. I was hunting around Farmingtons web site and couldn't see if it was eigth or quarter mile. Which is it?
The plans for the 12th are meeting at the steakhouse in Hickory at 4:00 then hangin around for the evening right?.

 

[Fasstcars]

Can we race on the day they have the Rock-n-Rally since its a Harley event?

 

[slider252]

Holy thread hijack Batman. Back to the March 12 meeting (I remember reading something about it a few pages back)...where would the Raleigh group like to start the caravan from and any Greensboro people want to join up along the way?

Easier said than done when you've sunk 2 grand into it. I'm sure by the time they pay for the rebuilds and labor this tranny will endure under its warranty they'd have wished they'd had paid me my money back so I could have got someone else to do it the right way the first time. I also see several tow bills in their future as the judge said I could have it towed to the shop of my choice with them footing the bill. Any good shops in California?

RE tranny problems
