I agree that a meet is needed, I'm open to anything. Prolly wont have a free saturday until July though. James, i should be going to the green street thing again the first one they have in July.

Crate engine depot is going on right now in Gurnee IL. The car show is tomorrow at rockenbach chevrolet. TONS of cars.
We should have a tear Vince's head off his car meet...
I'm game. Would almost be worth ordering valves before i know that's what it is so it can be apart and together in one day.
It's gotta go to a machine shop to get checked out...
What does? The head? I'm more thinking pull old bent valves. Put new valves in..... done
seems like a much better plan to me lol
Yeah yeah if i get it off i probably can find a place here to get it checked out. Hope it didn't take anything out with it

I'm not around as much anymore, so maybe I missed something. When did Brandon and Ryan finish up with your car, Vince?.....and what's this about bent valves?
I have no signiture
i cant remember when I got it back to be honest... id have to look back. April? May? I cant recall. And I believe it skipped timing and bent some valves right before Ryan was supposed to tune it.
Wow...that sucks. Sorry to hear that. I'd be willing to help when I can too if you need an extra hand. I've never torn into an ECO, but I've had my Quad4/LD9 in pieces more times than I care to count.

i just need to find motivation to tear the head off. Ill be home for a few days starting monday... but i always walk up to the car, look at it and say, nope, not today.
ill get to it eventually.

I feel the same way. I have my yellow J stripped, and a motor/trans waiting to go back in with the 5 speed swap. But with the heat and such, I just dont feel up for it.
So does anyone have any ideas as to when we can squeeze a meet into this summer before its over??? Lets get some dates up!!!!
Maybe Aug 25th?? And im serious about this, We can get the date, and just hold it at the same spot as the last few times. So what you guys think!!!
There is always Green Street Cruise night in McHenry on the 20th. I'm hoping to see people there. The official time is 6 pm to 8 pm.

I'm willing to overlook BMW's, Audi's, Lexus's, Infinity's, etc. with excessive negative camber...and maybe it's just an odd angle, but on an NSX it's just blasphemy.

Valve guides should be there first of next week..... right when I go back to work.
I would be down to hang out one of these days just let me know when

Only 14.5 in the gxp?
Auto or manual.
Mine ran a 14.2 with a 255# passenger. Before the tune.
So hows the 25th looking for everyone?? If its good, lets set this up. Same thing like last time?? Just a BBQ and BSin around?? If this works lets start saying who will be there.
I will not be able to since I signed up for a golf outing and dinner that day.
I will hopefully be at Green Street Cruise night the Monday prior on the 20th.
