i'm having some medical things going on, so my driving is very limited. i probably wont be able to attend anything any time soon, but i'll try if something becomes planned.

hmm. 8.5 hours from here or 6.5 from my parents' house in central IL. Central Illinois or even St. Louis is more interesting to me. If I'm not moving that weekend, I'll try to make it.

i'll bid 6501, bob

I'm probably going to be moving then unless I find a new place in the next 2 weeks. My lease is up at the end of sept.

uh what happened? cut to 1:45 for the crash

my supra's not in running condition, but I'd still like to meet up and see everyone else's car.

i'm interested in meeting up but table rock lake is too far for a day trip.

is the kid included? might be a deal breaker.

i'm in the chicago area but i'm from peoria

It's an old fashioned diner that car guys go and hangout at. http://chicago.metromix.com/venues/mmxchi-strats-hamburgers-venue I've never been but heard about it several times

no, i've only been up here a year. the scion guys i meet with have talked about going.

i don't get on SM much, but I'm in the aurora/naperville area. my supra is out of commission but id like to meet other mkiii owners.

new update. I'm in the process of rebuilding the turbo and debating what to do. The shaft has some damage on the threads, so I cannot screw the nut on.

well small update. Last weekend, a friend came by and we borrowed my neighbor's torch. Heat helped get those last two nuts off. But, I still had the oil feed lines to remove from the engine block, then pry the exhaust side of the turbo away from the turbo elbow. Luckily, I was successful...

Hey turbo, why won't you come out? These 4 nuts on the elbow? Please. That's all that's holding you in still? PB Blast is soaking in... The ones on the manifold already came off and those were a pain to get at. To be continued...

MMM oil in the 3000 pipe No shaft play on the turbo!

Ok so pulling the IC pipes, accordion hose and 3000 pipe shows a fair amount of oil in the piping. I guess that's proof the seals are bad in the turbo. Removing these bolts is a pain. Anybody have good suggestions? The elbow and manifold nuts are rusted on.

Thanks! I'm a black car kinda guy. Well, I hope the weather is nice this weekend. Next step is to pull the turbo and do a rebuild.
