Summer national sounds awesome, I'd show up.

I'm going to be in Epping tomorrow doing a rallycross at the dragway hoping my car doesn't catch fire.

As for a big get together, Kasteins got the place, now all we need is beer and science to blow poo poo up.

So when are we having this shindig? I'm gonna tentatively put it down for some weekend in April or May... I am busy 4/15, 5/20, 5/26-28 but any other weekend works. (all of those are wheeling runs with my club - if anyone wants to join, we can discuss it during the blow-poo poo-up event)

April 21st or May 12th?

I'm going to try and make it to this if possible.

I'd also like to offer my workshop in Nashua for future events. We have a 9000lbs. asymmetrical Rotary lift, lots of space, and within the next couple weeks should be getting a CNC plasma cutter that will do 3/4" steel or better. Hell, if any of you live nearby and want to drop by some night or weekend to use the facility, I'm there all the time.

ChrisGT is crashing at my place tonight.

I imagine we'll get to mass around 10-11ish and hit up some junkyards till the afternoon?

And then I'll start drinking and wanna finish comissargribbs stupid Jeep.

Once I get drunkenly board of that I expect to haul the seized up block out of ChrisGT's trunk and fill it with thermite.

Seeing a theme here? I'm bringing down two cases of beer lets make this poo poo poppin :colbert:

I'll see your two cases of beer, and raise you two more! :smug: I picked up variety pack 12'ers from Saranac, Brooklyn Brewery and Blue Point, along with something called Mariachi :confused: Idk, it was $8 for a 12 pack and apparently is a South American Corona knockoff.


This works out well. I'll be bringing variety packs from our local breweries, so anything I can try that's new will be awesome.

That was my thought too, I wanted to bring some stuff from NY micros since it may not be readily available up that way. Not sure where Saranac comes from and I'm too lazy to google it or go downstairs to look, but Brooklyn (obviously) and Blue Point are local and awesome.

I thought about bringing up a 30 of Genny Light in case beer pong was happening, but then I realized it is swill (although local swill).

Can you get yuengling? Bring a case of that for me to bring back to maine!

Only if you bring Gritty's.

In addition to my two cases, I will bring a case of grittys in exchange for yeungling.

And yeah, GTA grittys is a microbrew up here, I realize I'm downtrading, but I never get to have yeungling.

Two grittys variety packs and a shipyard variety pack purchased. The girl at the supermarket rolled her eyes at me carrying three cases of beer at once. ChrisGT and I are on our way to southbridge.

I fully expect if we do manage to pull off a meet up, that I see poo poo exploding, get to see stupid cars (and kastiens MJ's :3:), and get to drink a gently caress ton of beer.

poo poo exploding. Check.
Stupid cars. Check.
MJ's. Two Checks.
gently caress ton of beer. Check.

Saturday was awesome:

First we went wheeling. Ken's MJ needs a splash guard:



Then once people started showing up it was thermite time:





And put it in an EJ22:

And in the near future there is likely to be a Worcester junkyard extravaganza to pull a subaru motor for Dan and a 2ZJ-GE that Ace and I have had our eyes on for a while (assuming it hasn't been crushed yet.)

Anytime you want friday after about 4-5 or Saturday morning sound good? The earlier the better.

Also, I need an exact list of desired engine donors so I can go to the yard tomorrow and take stock of what needs pulling. Don't want you guys driving 6 hours for nothing.

Any 2000 to 2004 subaru I want a motor out of.

I'm also down to come help pull that motor ace wanted. Looking for miscellaneous third gen subaru legacy parts as well.

They have front ends that look like this:


Not sure if chrisgt wants anything.

Minimal blood was shed, I got legacy parts, though not everything I needed.

No motors were pulled, no SOHC's for me, and there were too many hots

I did see the fastest 8.8 removal ever though.
