QUOTE (darthripley @ Jun 10, 2009 - 9:01 PM) well everyone, Vadar just doesn't want to come down to Austin. we've been working on him all week & we've got some serious problems with him now. i'm unsure if the engine is totally gone or not yet - gonna look at it tommorrow nite - just am too tired to fool with it right now. i'm disappointed we can't come down in Vadar this time, but he can barely even idle much less make the trip. what makes it so bad is this prob came out of nowhere so we have to backtrack all our steps, everything that was touched to attempt to find the problem. i have a sneaking suspicion the headgasket may have blown, but we'll fool with him later SO >>> we're still coming, we'll just be in R2. we got on the FRP front hood & rear trunk lid, so he lost a few pounds since last time around.  he's still primer grey + peeling black maaco paint & not the prettiest to look at, but he ain't exactly the slowest either.  P.S. A teal MKII MR2 turbo is also coming down from DFW  seems we'll have a real mixture of toyotas this time around. So very sorry to hear that. If you guys need soem help I'm mor ethan willing to come up one weekend and help you yank the motor or whatever. I'm just glad you guys are still coming - R2 is fun anyway QUOTE (NgoFcukinWay @ Jun 11, 2009 - 12:57 AM) QUOTE (spolski07 @ Jun 11, 2009 - 1:18 AM) and im still gonna be the super oddball out lolPossibly....depends on your definition Totally --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM) Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.

Just FYI be careful on any of the major arteries into Austin-I-13, 290, Hwy 71, etc...Austin PD has added 20 patrol cars for just this weekend. Over 200,000 harley bikers flooding Austin. Luckily, they shouldn't be in any of the areas we'll be that could make it dangerous.

I'm just glad you guys are still coming - R2 is fun anyway Thanks, we both appreciate that. Got a lot of testing to do first to see what the real prob is after the meet. R2 is a lot of fun & so trouble-free. I can safely say I'll never own another 3sgte - that motor is the biggest PITA for a 4 banger  I got a ticket today in the camry for expired inspection so we're gonna get him inspected tomorrow then go to court to try to get that cleared up. It's the 1st time I've ever been pulled over for anything by a cop & this one was a real a$$hole that wasn't gonna let me off for anything in this world. I was going to try to paint R2's front bumper, but now I won't have any time b/c of this fcuking ticket. I swear if one more thing goes wrong tommorrow we're just staying home all weekend. Everyone be safe driving down - see ya Saturday. Don't forget to stay hydrated & use sun-block ... gonna be 100+ just like last year. -------------------- '87 AW11 MR2 "Super R2" 4AG-ZE swapped Stage 1 Complete

Depending on where you are coming from. Most of the cops are downtown or on 290 East. Tomorrow they'll be out patrolling the major arteries. If you're coming from Dallas you can take Loop 1 or Toll SH 45 to 183 to avoid I-35.
I put the start and end addresses a few posts back. If any of you need help, herels my cell #. 512-680-4717 Paul I'l be up early to top off coolant and give the car a quick wash. Anyone bringing a video camera? |

hope everyone made it home safe & sound & are enjoying the a/c @ home - i know we are.
the heat really started to get to me & sorry if i got a little b!tchy. we had a great time on the roads even if they were a little clogged with other traffic the routes this time around were better than ever. the tight turns & elevation changes were just amazing. it was great seeing everyone again & meeting new people too BIG THANKS again to Mixmaster for taking us down some great roads! -------------------- '87 AW11 MR2 "Super R2" 4AG-ZE swapped Stage 1 Complete

It'll be a while till I can get my pics up since I need to save them from RAW format to a jpeg format.
I had a wonderful time out there and the G handled a lot better than what I was expecting. Big thanks go out to Keri and Paul for working together to make this all possible! A bigger thanks goes out to Paul for being a wonderful and enjoyable host for us out-of-towners! Thanks again guys! As for the pics I could upload:  Early dinner at Rudy's. I didn't notice my head was eclipsing Keri's till I saw the pic. lol unless she deliberately hid behind me.  Mmmm...good ol' souther BBQ. Creamed corn, Cole Slaw, and Brisket! Om nom nom freakin' nom! -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}
