Turbone

I mightbeneeding help on Sunday. I have a large wood shed that I need to dismantle and move to the new place. Its pretty solid and will take extra hands (and backs). I'm hoping it will fit on my trailer in pieces, but it will take a few trips. Not to mention, I still need to move all my parts too. What a PITA moving is.

Sorry for not responding lately, no internet. I want to thank everyone who showed up to help, man did I need it. Got everything in the house moved, but still have the outside to deal with. Heep, if your available this week I could stilll use some help. I need to dismantle a 8'x12' shed and set it up over at the new place. I also have a buttload of parts to relocate too...... Thanks again to Qman, Mykeys Toy, Northwet for showing up and doing alot of the grunt work. You guys rock

Better bring more than that, I'm not missing it this time

I've got a 27ft moving truck coming in the morning, dont think I'll need any thing else for hauling. Pat, I've seen what you haul in your minivan. I might put some parts in there, but none of my household stuff Mykeys Toy said he'll be here for a little bit, Qman offered a while ago but I havent talked to him since the Show :-\ Paul, just like I wish I was closer to you when you had to move I dont have as many parts, but its close. Not to mention all the other "treasures" I have accumulated over the years

Thanks Pat, appreciate it.

I need to move this weekend (sorry for the short notice ). If any one could make it over to help move the heavy stuff, I would sure appreciate it. Not sure what kind of vittles I can come up with, but I'll try and feed everyone. Respond by PM and I'll give directions and a phone #. Thanks all.

I think thats in Long Beach, California.

I know this will be moved to OT, but I had to get this on the Board before I forgot it I was listening to the news today and they were talking about the Shuttle and the problem it was having getting ready to launch. Well, it turns out to be a problem with the fuel guages. Its taken them almost a week to track down the cause of it. This is where FHI comes in. I think some of the engineers might have migrated to NASA. It seems that the problem with the gauges were related to.............drum roll please....... Bad grounds

Really roughing it there Ed I can certainly understand tho, you dont see me in a tent very often either. Have a good time

No, I meant in general. Theres always a few folks that cant make it to the shows due to the long distance. And when they do, its only every few years. No, you arent one of them. You I see on a fairly regular basis

Ditto on everything said above Its to bad we only see some people once a year. Or every 2 or 3 or 4 or.................

The 4spd sucks bad on a turbo, been there - done that. I went through 3 clutches in barely 3 months. Carfreak should speak up, he's done the 5spd swap on his turbo wagon. The only issue is the driveshaft I believe.

Somebody get me an autograph, please?

Nope, as a matter of fact they are quite rare. If your Brat has a 3.9 tranny (which it prob does) you will need to convert a 3.9 diff to LSD using the guts from a 3.7 LSD. The parts you want to snag off a XT6 (If your going to re-sell) are the alternator, power steering pump (electric), disty and the running gear (for 5 lug conversion)

Sorry I missed you Todd, maybe next time. I had mechanical problems in my Hatch on the way to the show, blew the rear diff (welded). Limped it home and drove the XT6. Pretty good showing for them, there was 4. Well, theres always next year Glad to see alot of folks again and meet some in person.

Big applause to the Staff, put on a great show again. I think we will be needing some folks to step forward to volunteer for the following events Might be some big shoes to fill tho. Thanks to all the Sponsers, without them it wouldnt happen at all.

Have you read anything about the Show in previous posts? Btw, dont want to rain on anyones parade(or camping), but a local weatherman has said that Saturday morning is going to be damp :-\

Whats the first project?

It should be fine for as long as your going to (ab)use it

If its still running next year around the same time

In order to remove the center cover, the crank pulley has to come off. If you dont take off the center cover, you cant install the belts. But you can break the center cover off without removing the pulley, I guess

Its supposed to be in the high 70's Saturday and the 80's on Sunday. I'm thinking of driving the Hatch on Saturday and the XT6 on Sunday, instead of the other way around.

Did you ask Jerry (Bratsrus1) is leaving?

I think you are mistaking the timing belts with the accessory belts. The timing belts are inside the timing covers, behind the crank pulley. It needs to be removed to get the covers off and the outer crank gear off.
