3rd or 4th engine now? I don't know why he doesn't just run a short intake or get a bypass valve to at least minimize the chance of pulling up water.

Well by now I can conclude he's probably not smart enough to figure that out.

Me too, but he can swap a 1ZZ in like 6 hours now :lol:

Hello All: I am relatively new to the forum compared to many of you so the following idea may have been discussed before.

Do you all have considered the idea of having spring meet at different locations within the Mid West?

Secondly, I second Norberto's idea of same time every year so everyone has it on their calendar.

My two cents.

I guess you did not read the part about the most indecisive group ever

I'm open to driving a little further but much more than 2 hours away gets to be tiresome for driving back home and finding somewhere we can all eat that's not a long drive in the wrong direction for a bunch of people is hard.

I don't wanna hear it about a 2 hr drive..... hahaha hahaha we are at least 5 hrs away

>

join the club hahah

Do we have a snow date set in place?

It's different when you have someone in the car with you, driving solo for long distances just wipes me out mentally.

>


That's why you find someone and drag them along

Easier said than done when I have the social skills of a potato. I'm not sure where else would work well for a Midwest meet, Quad cities area maybe? I'm sure there's some nice stuff along the river out that way. Other way there's some nice state parks around Indy I think, but I65 is such a ****hole of a road I don't think I'd take the Celica.

Damn, some of yous are pussies when it comes to driving. Go get yourself a burro & a cart.

Not everyone has a truck that you just point in the direction of your destination and then take a nap in the seat.

Feels good too. 😜

there was talks of having a big one up near Wisconsin Dells. would be nice for me. hahaha.

Dells are a hotel night probably and that's usually outside my budget, part of the reason why I like something that's around a 2 hour one way drive. I are cheap, gotta spend the money on the car!

I have no more comments till the 7th see everyone there!

lol, ill be driving 9 hours brah!

You can have two slices of pie.

I would love to set something up like that. We had a 7th gen meet there a few years ago and it was SO much fun. We made a weekend out of it. We had a guy drive 17 hours from Canada. Haha!

If you're talking about auto motion in the dell's I would suggest against it. Over crowded, too many cops, and too many poor decisions made by everyone.

How about that snow date lol

We are out for this one. Sorry guys.

>

no not automotion. I'm not about that life. lol
just a regular 6gc meet. and it doens't have to be the dells. come to Oshkosh so I won't have to drive at all. hahahaha

>

Wish I could yell at you but I might not be able to make it either. something came up. will keep you guys updated.

>
Boooooo

If we come to Oshkosh then the meet is at your house.

I'm down for a Wisconsin meet... And no, not Automotion. That IS when we went, but the vibe there was too crazy for my liking. It was a great experience, but I wouldn't go again. There's just stuff to do up there...

Edit: Mark (Racecarp) will be joining us.

So now he IS coming? Awesome.

Honest question... is there any people wanting shifter or ebrake boots made? I have one order already to bring to the meet. If so let me know and what color and I will get them made up

>

He told me he is. He's not sure if he's going to bring his bike or the race car.

On a side note everyone: I have a job for you... Diagnose my 2004 Corolla S. The car has my dad (one of the most knowledgeable car people I know) and myself scratching our heads. I have another bad wheel bearing. This is the FOURTH bad wheel bearing that we've gone through in about 2 years. The same wheel too, the front driver's side. We replaced the hub two wheel bearings ago, so that's not the issue. I've owned the car longer than two years.

We thought outside the box and checked the ground from the engine/trans to the body to make sure that wasn't faulty (which one of them was). We replaced the trans to the body. I know that a bad ground can cause wheel bearings to fail because the current has to travel from the engine, through the axle, through the bearing (arcing across balls), through hub, up strut to body...

Anyways... I don't know what it could be. The transmission has always been "louder" than normal. I know the car was in a front passenger side collision at one point in its life, but not sure how hard. I don't know if a bad bearing or something in the trans would cause a bearing to vibrate enough to fail constantly... I use nice Moog bearings. I thought about putting a pricey OEM one in, but my dad said he's never seen a car eat bearings like this.

Thoughts??

Edit: I'm also torquing down the hub nut to spec.
