I would. But I'm more concerned about a place to wash my hands.

what exactly do you plan to do on the way to the meet that will require to wash your hand(s)?

I would advise to ALWAYS carry a few gallons of water with you (drinkable or not). Never know when you will need it for things like being out of radiator fluid or being covered with engine grease after repairs. I always carry some cause after my scuba diving i am covered in salt and nearest shower is 4 hours away.

Not on the way there, but during...handling meat/food during grilling and such. I'm just OCD about my car. kindasad.gif

There is a thing that people use to spray fruit trees with. Works by pumping in the air and pressure pushes liquid through the nozzle. They sell those for 20 bucks in most retail stores. I loooove it. Easy to use and very handy. All the times you come back from a beach wishing there was a hose nearby... all the times when you really need to wash your car but you dont have a hose....

Works like a charm.

hey guys bad news for me.........

i'm pretty sure the engine in my ST is toast. the was an oil leak n it ran out of oil. i was able to replace the connecting rod bearings on cylinders 1 & 2 but i was unable to get to 3 & 4. the engine cranks up now but is burning oil like crazy. i want to swap the engine for just about anything that runs. does anyone know of a cheap place that I can pick up engine @?
Junkyards would be your cheapest option although there are not too many 6gcs. Price wise it would cost you about 1-3 grand to swap a used engine if you take it to a mechanic. That's not considering time it will take to fix it.

Captain Pessimist
i just found one on craigslist so maybe by next week all will be good. no shops for me, i w'd do the swap myself with my roommate cuz i know how shops price like crazy for labor. i've already swapped a tranny on my old civic with my paps so with some careful measures i'm confident i'll be able to do swap.
A little update fellas I got my clutch ordered in hope to get it in in the next week or so. Now trying to fix the front end lol. Wish me luck to get it finished for the meet.

Font end was damaged by a armadilla going to work at 500 am. I got a stock front bumper that needs some work for 20, but it also put a few dents in the fendors mad.gif but o well sh** happens. I will keep you updated.
bro if a couple of celi caravan from down here im down. (down here being broward/miami.)
^ If that's what you need to go, I can meet you up in Fort Myers. You'd probably be best off taking 75 and then I-4, so you're gonna pass by my way anyway. I'm off exit 131. We can meet up there and caravan the rest of the way. I haven't personally talked to him, but photoguy1313 also is in this area, if he makes it he can join as well.

That's up to you to PM them now and get them to come out, you seem to be the only interested one from SoFLA, I've PM'd most the members from down there and well, it didnt seem to work, no one wanted to drive 3hrs it seems, but maybe caravan-ing might change their minds... ... The more the merrier. biggrin.gif

SoFLA is considered the East side of FL. You are just naples as far as i know... lol.

It would be quite a ride across the alley anyway, but thats not my decision if Candiiman wants to take you up on your offer. IIRC its a 90mi trip across....

^ Niiice. Not sure how I feel about the wheels, but clean car!

'97 ST\ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+[sold 10/18]'93 MX-5LE
Hush hush or I am going to call up some peeps to come to the meet with wheels like these



or like these



His rims do appear wide because he has stock fenders. I think he might want to look into some fender rolling or at least get bigger mudflaps for all 4 tires unless he wants to ruin his paint with pebbles and other stuff that he is driving over.


Could you please post a side view of that rim please.

What time does the meeting start/finish???
not sure if its already posted i just have'nt seen it
I think 12 was a decent time for everyone, but that can be changed. And I guess it'll end when we want it to...I think the cruise was planned for the end, so that pretty much has to be done while it's still light out.

Bump for more FL people to see this!

For all florida members who are not coming to this meet I hope you have a good reason not to otherwise your conscious will eat you from inside out because its likely that this is the first and last meet here in florida.

Captain Pessimist
Well...if this one goes well, I wouldn't mind making it an annual thing. But yeah, come out. Crwarrior, photoguy1313, and a few others...I'm sure there are more. bslik hasn't been active for a while.

'97 ST\ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+[sold 10/18]'93 MX-5LE
Ya everyone needs to show up. It's coming around the corner everyone, and I've been working on my car alot to make this so I hope everyone else is doing the same..
