Im sure the details have yet to be worked out, but what kind of activities usually take place at this meet? I wont have much more than a stock mk2 but I wouldnt mind a couple runs down the 1/4mile.

to be honest when I heard you describe it I thought it was one of those cheesy aftermarket flip up roofs you could buy at Pep Boys and I didnt blame you for wanting to lose it. Now that I see it I think you should keep it. Personally I like it.

you also thought the water pump wasnt belt driven sooooo...yeah. What DID you think it was driven by? steam? Again, if the water pump isnt turning, the water isnt flowing, therefore the thermostat has nothing to open up for. Put a divider in a fish tank, fill one side with boiling water and...

:slap: well lets see. the water wasnt moving through the motor, the temp sensor is on the t-stat housing, and without circulation....you do the math on what the water temps were inside the block. I think you were extremely foolish...and extraordinarily lucky. Time will tell what kind of...

I agree, anyone who hasnt done some donuts and abused a set of tires or a toy car doesnt know what they are missing. Whats the point? as the OP said, purely for the fun of it. You say its just a waste of money, so are almost all hobbies. Going to an amusment park can cost a family thousands and...

just getting the motor hot isnt nessecarily a precurser to blowing a head gasket. I would worry more about warping and/or annealing the head. A friend of mine (Steven89) dropped the crank pully off one night while driving around. If I didnt see it I wouldnt have believed it. It was just...

Dynos have always scared me ever since seeing Nate break a strap.

wow, talk about heart break. I think I kinda know how you feel. Im glad to see you arent gonna let it beat you. On a positive note, it should be easier and faster the second time around.

by the way, if you buy those particular injectors from that particular seller...I suggest immediately sending them off to be charted. That particular seller is the one that was involved in some controversy over the supposed "flow matching" they do (or dont do). Also dont expect to recieve the...

I believe he was referring to how it ran when he got it, as it was missing and amde it sound like a subaru? Jim, that will be cool with a 7M in it. I met a kid here in corvallis last night that has a couple mk2's and he has a complete 5spd setup Im going to get from him this coming week. He is...

you two were menat for each other. opposite yet the same, lol. If gas prices werent so bad I might have sucked it up and come anyway even though Im nursing a sore throat. There just arent that many of us active on the boards that live in the mid valley.

Your friend of a friend of a friend....was an idiot. Body repair by replacing panels and welding in patches is done ALL THE TIME in the business. Just as a headgasket prepair can be botched by "Cleatus and his clowns" so can body work. I dont know if the OP is gonna do it right, but just because...

TIG welding is the easiest to contol heat on. I think buying a whole new shell is overkill and would only be a last resort. If you take your time, you should be able to get satisfactory results.

funny you should ask this...I just bought some of the nanowax today and was seriously impressed. Ive too was never a fan of Eagle one products...I always thought the packaging made it look too flashy and thereby disguising the crap inside. But I did some reading and my choice came down to the...

I also agree on the moving around and taking your time welding. I would also doa donor roof just because that way you know you have the curve and same gauge steel. You can buy a cordless 4.5" grinder and put a cut-off wheel on it for the junkyard. I think Sears has one on sale right now for...

how many people showed? I feel bad for not supporting the event but I just couldnt do it.

This thread and all those like it = ::dead horse::

nothing rewarding is ever easy, dont wuss out.

I didnt know "stall converters" came on r154's :sarcasm:

guys, I hate to do this at such a late date, but I think Im pulling out of this event. I woke up today with a sore throat and while it hasnt gotten worse today, I have a terrible pressure headache going on. I might feel better in the morning but if not Im gonna stay home. Sorry, hope people show...
