lets get together in NC

[Fasstcars]

Slider I live off Capital about 10min from the 440 belt line. Were are you?

 

[slider252]

Off of Glenwood, right in the middle 540 and 440, I'm pretty flexible, so whatever works best for you. Could meet in a parking lot around Crabtree then jump back on 440 and onto 40 from there. Just let me know what is easiest.

 

[Fasstcars]

Slider if you are as close to 540 why don't we meet at Triangle. Town center. That way I wouldn't have to back track. Then we could just continue on to 40 via 440. Or are you closer to 440?

i really appreciate it . But the biggest thing about the whole deal is i'm either going have to replace the convertor or send it off to be fixed. getting the front pump fixed is no problem my buddy has a few junk transmissions so i can rob the pump housing and build that . but if i can't find someone local to repair the convertor i will have to send it back to bruce.


It's not under warranty since i bought the convertor used even tho it's only about a yr old......

I'd like to come.. March and April are going to be busy months for me but I'm going to see if I can get up there for the day. Of course, with me being a vegan, the choice of restraunt sounds like it may be challenging for me but Im sure I can figure out a way to work around it.

 

[getchasum]

Jay, we would be glad to have you attend. I'm sure the restraunt will have something to your liking.

Just wanted to throw this back out.....did we fall on 2:00 or 4:00 pm? Not that it really matters to me but I would reather do 4:00. What does everyone else think???

 

[Fasstcars]

I think we decided on 4 so we could hang out for some street action later.

Are you interested in checking out these Telestars yet? If you bring the Buick we can mount them on the car for the "street action".

[Sydwyndr]

Yes 4pm, then street action afterwards

Greg is repairing the hub drive on my 9-11 converter that was .030 out of spec from the factory. That is what killed my front pump.

I hope it's not costing you too much to have repaired. 'Cause if you're making enough power to run 10's and lock that 9-11 at w.o.t. it won't last very long. You'll blow through those clutches quickly. We learned that first hand on cars making enough power to run 125+mph.
