Re: Mels - Folsom - Jan 11th
Hey traviz, I am going to be caravaning with 19911le to your house. I am going to be leaving at 11 so I will see you around 1 hopefully. That is, if my car doesn't break down. I haven't driven it out of Chico yet and it has been sitting for about 4 months.
Who else is going to be at your house?

Re: Mels - Folsom - Jan 11th
Well, I was on the way to come and had some major issues with the ride. I ran into OUTATIME on the way and soon noticed a nasty rpm related vibration and was considering pulling over when I left at a light gave it some good gas the tires spun then I got a nasty squeal and a loud bang followed by a complete lose of power steering. I pull over to be greeted by a smoke cloud under the hood and water poring out the motor. I look around and both belts are dangling off the pulleys but not broke. Then I see the water pump is now about a 1/2 inch from the block and has come completely loose. I call the wife to bring me tools, tighten everything up but the gaskets are destroyed and wont hold water. I drove the car to my sisters house about 2 blocks away after filling it with water and got a ride home fustrated and still hungry for a mels hamburger.
I am really pissed I missed out this time guys and I hope you had a great time. The motor has about 600 miles on it and tonight it disides to screw me. What ever I will be there next time regardless.

Re: Mels - Folsom - Jan 11th
Good to see everyone, old and new. Lookin' fwd to the next one.
Nice pics, keep 'em comin'.
sweetaq - Dude, I saw the smoke coming out of your exhaust after we got on it a bit and thought that might've been normal for you, but then saw you turn down another street as I went off to get gas. Bummer man, sorry about that.

Re: Mels - Folsom - Jan 11th
Nah, keeping that motor for my Scottsdale or selling it. I'm buying Marcs motor and stealthram asap and will be dropping that in. Might stick a cam in it but I doubt it.
I just had to order my new turbos/inlet pipes/hardware for the daily so I'll be doing a bit of work in the next month.

Re: Mels - Folsom - Jan 11th
Haha, here is me trying to go all low key, and I look in my review and here is vinny swinging all over the place almost tagging me... I was busy looking at you, I didn't see the cop either.
My feet were burning on the way home. The damn thing was still putting out heat even with it off. I had to open my windows...
