As long as you stay on top of replacing them, they're fine. I am worried about main seals being pushed out as well but at the time I couldn't afford a catch can. Lame I know!

I'm afraid I have to bail on the meet as well. My oil feed line peace'd the fuck out tonight. I was working around it (didn't remove it or undo it at all) and when I went to start it up, it spewed oil literally everywhere on my engine bay. It was ridiculous. So unless I can get one in by Friday, I wont be able to make it.

Also I'm afraid I've developed a tick of some sort... It sounds too light to be a rod knock so I'm wondering if it's a valve tick. I was convinced for a long time that it was an exhaust leak as it hasn't been too severe until two weeks ago. It tends to get pretty quiet around 3K RPM and on but up until then it's a pretty loud tick... I thought I fixed it tonight, but for the 4 seconds it ran (until I found out it was spewing oil all over me) it still ticked... :(

I was really looking forward to going too! :(

...or columbus area would also work just fine. I have a welder but the wire feed mechanism is junk(inconsistent wire feed). Out of curiosity, how would you like your can if I could make you one?

Of 67 "Registered" Supra's in attendance (No, Caleb, you weren't included :biglaugh: ),
So far, we are down 9 cars...for whatever reason...
(Had to take dog out, Wedding of someone you don't know, etc). :nono:

Weather is looking good so far...and I can't wait!

As of right now...I will be there in my Supra.
It's been great driving it, just trying to figure out why it's running warmer than I'd like.
I'm very anal though about this car/investment, so anything is still on the line.
We'll see. :)

Hope everyone else is getting things figured out and planning for the trip Friday/Saturday!

I will most likely be but not in the supra.

She is officially down started it one day to move it and
I heard what almost all of us dread to hear.
Loud knocking and squeaking from inside the motor.

next year if plans stay in line she will be there
she'll look the same but sure as hell run different:evil2:

Good for you, man. Bad to hear about the car, though.

Just get it done...hopefully if the turnout is as good as I want it to be,
I'll do the meet again next year. We'll see...

Jeff said anal and I have to be the one to say "LOL"...?

I have quite a few 16" tires at my dads 225/60s ish, $20/per. Some are practically new.

I was really wishing I would have been able to make it this year...

But yeah, I won't be able to. My sister's college graduation is that day, and my car really isn't worth showing off atm. Seriously...

Maybe Indy2K10..?

Update: I had a line made at a Brake place around here and it works great.

Although that ticking is an exhaust leak, its really wicked. And I'm 100% positive it is an exhaust leak. I think the gasket blew out around the #5 or #6 runner as the gases coming out of it burned my thumb.

So maybe the muffler is coming off to hide the sound of that ticking for the meet... Dont want to be too embarrassed. lol

Thanks.
