QuoteSo there were 5 TGP owners and 5 cars there...which one was also yours Idbeast. Awsome. I wonder what the largest meet is of TGPers. and TGPs.

I don't think any of those people post here anymore...Just Jeff.

Two were mine, Jeff M drove one of them, he had the use of the Black 90 when he visited me for a week...

Five TGP's & 5 TGP'er is the largest so far!!! :wink: :hockey: :drinking:

How's the 5 speed doing??? Make sure that you baby it for a while until the clutch is broken in.

I'm willing to come out to Ohio, but Aug 7th is a little to soon for me. Maybe we can have a meet later in the year, like late september. I just went to an INTENSE mod day on Sat. and I have another CPACGP meet next Sat. My wife is ready to kill me as I'm at some GP thing every weekend. :)

Skalor, you can drive the TGP and let your wife drive the Lumina to the gathering :D

the 5 speed is good, got a leak on a line though (Not transmission) dont know what the line is for, its over the turbo though but its not a fuel line.....If someone could host a pic Ill get one.

figured it out, it is one of the fuel lines... I was wrong, lol.. God damn it, how much do those run? I can't even loosen the fittings....jesus

I'm with Skalor. If it were some time in September, I would have a MUCH better chance of making it.

90TGP · July 27, 2004, 03:56:06 PM

Hey guys, how does Sept. 4 sound? It's a saturday.

turbo90gp · July 27, 2004, 04:20:50 PM

YOU BASTARDS!!!! :evil: I ALLREDY REQUESTED OFF WORK FOR THE 7TH!!!! Haha just playin, Ill tell em I can work and just request off for sept 4th... Hopefully by then everything will be fine tuned.

skalor · July 27, 2004, 05:31:49 PM

I don't mean to cause problems, but I'm moving into my new house in Sept. so the first week in the Sept. won't be good for me. I can do Sept. 11th, which is the following Sat. I really would like to go and I think that we can get a good turnout if we take some time to plan it out. 8)

If I make it I'll only be bringing the TGP as I'm selling Lumina and I need to sell it before I move as I need the money.

I definately agree that August 7 is a little too soon. If it were in the end of August, beginning of september there would be a much greater chance of me being able to make it.

Quote from: no1kickerHey Shawn, sounds like the STE is gonna kick ass! I can't wait to see your wheels look on there. Also I would port the ex man's, assuming they're already off the engine.

I'm hoping the car kicks ass when I'm done. It looks sweet with the 5 spokes on there IMO. I just replaced the passenger halfshaft today (lots of torque + tires that grip well = broken axle) and put a new brake caliper on. Put a new brake caliper on the drivers side a few weeks ago. Put on a new rotor and new pads on the passenger side, working on putting on the drivers side rotor and pads right now. So I'm doing a lot of brake work. So the car looks decent now, and it should stop decent now, the tires should help it handle better, now all I have to do is get the engine done and it should move pretty good too. :twisted:

The exhaust manifolds are going to be off anyways, so I figure I may as well port them. Assuming I have time I will port the exhaust manifolds. I am hoping I feel a significant gain with all this stuff, but you never know. We'll see in about a week or so.
