The drive to the show was nice, but we had to keep it at 100-115 kph because of some minor issues with Bryan's motor. Just wanted to be safe.

The show was lacking in VW's and Porsches (probably only about 20 cars there) but the weather was awesome and the facilities were top notch, could easily accomodate atleast 100 cars.

Allan brought his 914 V8 conversion on a trailer and got the engine fired up towards the end of the show. An LT1 with open headers sounds incredible :eek:

People keep complaining about the lack of VW shows in the GTA, and when someone steps up to the plate to put one on, nobody shows up .... this really pisses me off :mad: At least Bryan, Allan and I showed our support.

The drive home was interesting as buddy in his Escalade thought he'd ride right on my bumper at 140 kph on the 401. A stretch of open road later and buddy was a speck in the rear view mirror :D About 20 minutes later, buddy rides my bumper again ...


Bryan,

I hope you made it home OK.

Sandeep

Heya Sandeep,

I made it home fine, aside from the messyness of an oil leak, the new engine runs great. The leak shouldnt be a problem much longer, I think I got the problem figured out.

Bry

So no one is up for meeting up say this Tuesday?...the 23rd? share stories from the show...BTW Bryan did you get that adjustable oil by pass valve installed yet?...and if so did it fix the problem?

pete,

it helped, but diddnt solve my problem, i am going to try another soloution.
I am going to put my oil cooler on the pressure side instead of the scavenge side to improve scavenge flow

Bry

I feel terrible for not being able to attend, and support Mark. The car was done and ready. I finished up the rear sway bar early Saturday morn before heading out, hoping i could take off late to Mark's on Sunday. The show was all i could think of at work, this really nice weekend. Was looking forward to it all summer. Alot of guys i work with got squeezed this weekend.

How about Thursday? Or next Tuesday the 30th?

Pete,

No problem ..


All,

Lets have a meet for the 30th then ... where do you want to meet ? Perhaps another location rather than Oakville if only a few of us are going to be there.

I need to chat about EFI fuel systems ... I've got my manifolds almost complete, just need to build my surge tank, mock up the turbo and wire in the Megasquirt/EDIS :D

Sandeep

30th sounds good. How about in the plaza at Mississauga Rd and 401. Its on the way to work for me as i am on the graveyard shift, close to you Sandeep, and just north of Pete (Btljus).

I think there's a Boston Pizza in there......

You guys interested in?:

That works for me on the 30th.

Are you suggesting we crash the Vaper BBQ ? :laugh:

Sandeep

YES!!! :laugh:

you guys interested?

Sorry Guys, I'll be away on business again.

Between work and only being home on the weekends there is not a lot of time left for the bug.
Hell, I just had a week vacation and I only got to work on the car for maybe 4 hours...

Shoot some pics at the meet though... the BAG site needs an update.
I have a copy of the site, send me the pics and I'll see if I can update it while in the hotel.

Rob.

Looking at the forecast, It's going to rain Wed and Thurs. How's Tuesday?
I'll bring my tripod/camera.

Tuesday is a chance of showers 40% ... I'll be driving the bug ... meet at the Boston Pizza @ 730pm ?
