If Eric will come I will do SP. You now have your work cut out for you

CCColtsicehockey

So SP it is still working on getting Eric to come out though. Also I am thinking maybe even bumping start time till 3:45. I need to eat something before making my long drive. Also if you have some time afterwards I need to tape the front end of the F up before leaving to project the fresh paint.

chill_dog

Let's see go to SP and see if you can sucker me into helping you tape your car...I'll give you credit, that's a good plan . 3:45 sounds good.





And yeah, I can help you tape up the F .

not fast enough till thursday

chill_dog

Never is. I was going to have to take it easy and leave early because I had an interview Friday morning, but just they rescheduled for Monday. It's a sign.

CCColtsicehockey

And by sign you mean one that involves getting more people from Azine to TacMac to drink heavily. I mean its been like a million months since the last group we got to go.

chill_dog

I agree. All Charlotte people should come out. No reason not to. Good beer, good food, hot chicks, great cars...what more do you need? You're the rep for Western NC...git r dun

Beat-Freak...

I would come out to Taco Mac but i work nights.

So I had put the idea of a RHD conversion to the TSX to rest for good last year and decided an MT swap with hi boost was a good alternative. Say you know like 350hp.

Now yesterday I find on a site a guy selling a EuroR motor, tranny, ecu, and engine harness. Pics have it still in the front clip. So I ask if it is still in the clip or just old pics. They still have everything for the clip except the hood. They even have gauges, dash, and dash wiring harness.

Now the idea is back in my head damnit. Thinking about straight back j's racing race exhaust, with M&M honda ITB's screaming with an 8k RPM redline that the EuroR has stock.

Dew it! Dew it!

CCColtsicehockey

Yeah it is a hole heck of a lot more money though. Thats the main issue. Probably more than double.

chill_dog

Do it, and then do high boost down the road...have your cake and eat it too

CCColtsicehockey

No no no. If I go RHD conversion with the EuroR K20 I will do a full built NA engine with ITBs. I have heard with the ITBs and a fully built engine I can get the redline up the 8500.

Thing is though this would be considerably more expensive and in doing so would push back me starting to save for an NSX. Hi boost and MT swap was going to me the last major TSX project other than maybe a cage down the road and the always changing wheels.

CCColtsicehockey

So far we have Jack and Eric for Taco Mac at SP tonight. Anyone know if AlexSU is still alive?

chill_dog

Do the MT swap and high boost as planned; it gets you to your ultimate goal more quickly. Life's short.

CCColtsicehockey

Texted Alex and he is going to stop by for an hour at some point between jobs.

CCColtsicehockey

Jim has been MIA from TMac too. Then again he is the only one of us that has a family to take care of though so its understood.


Think Maybe I will work on putting together a meet for either August or September for the Charlotte area.

chill_dog

September...or October. The closer to fall and nice weather, the better.

CCColtsicehockey

Well I was thinking earlier the better to get one in end of summer really and then get another in before its super cold out.

CCColtsicehockey

Also TacoMac won't be till 4:30 or a little after. Going to be at the office till 4.

About how cold does it get in the winter here? Im new to the area.

chill_dog

Normal winter highs are in the 40's/50's with lows in the 30's, but there's always a few weeks where it drops to 30's with lows in the teens/20's. Maybe three or four days with a few inches of snow on the ground...nothing to really keep you from going anywhere.

COLTS, i say go for mt and boost

And ehh, 18 years in South Florida, thats enough to keep me in the house. haha

Bearcat94

Maybe next week (the 4th?) if I'm in town.

CCColtsicehockey

We will be there

Total2f

Anyone planning on Cars&Coffee next weekend?

chill_dog

^Nah, went last month. You won't see me again until the C&C-AZ meet in the fall. I'll be at Taco Mac, though . It has a MUCH better start time .

CCColtsicehockey

Meh get your lasy ass out of bed. The new wheels should be here and on the car by then.

I will be at C&C as usual.

I will start getting with Tyler as well for planning a Full North Carolina AZ meet at the September C&C meet.

chill_dog

You're just jealous because I can sleep in everyday . I'll see the wheels the Thursday before (or after)

Here's hoping for a big turnout

Details on Taco Mac?

Bearcat94

Thursdays. Usually South Park, but occasionally University. Start time ~ 4 - 5 PM (usually).


(From what I've gathered. I haven't been there "usually".)

CCColtsicehockey

Hey now I didn't mean it in a bad way we were just discussing we need to get another Azine TacoMac "Drink good beer and shoot the shit" meet together.
