Does anyone have a stock Y-pipe gasket? I'm going to go home depot and try and find a clamp setup that will work with the stock one, but I need it for the red car..

I got it running, but need to find something to keep that bastard on. ( don't have the stock gasket / clamp )

Anyways, NG is looming pretty near and I still have no idea how I'm getting down there.. Has anyone figured out a group vehicle thing yet? Someone have something big enough for us to do that with?

If Big Red was reliable enough.. I thought about doing that, but I hate to drive the car anymore than around town as I have no idea how things will go on it.

So I think I have a solution, my mom and sister are out here in Kalifornia right now as well. They won't be back til the Monday after NG. Therefore we have 2 cars at home and only my dad to drive them. I think I can get away with taking the minivan for the weekend and he can just use the accord.

So now we have a mode of transportation that seats 7.

DaveSlow · 06-10-2008, 11:31 AM

Oh btw, Kalifornia finds it reasonable to fine you 381 dollars for rolling a yellow/red.

to Kalifornia Dave

SWEET. Sounds good on the transportation.

I'm going back to South Bend this weekend to fill a few plastic tubberware containers with parts for the swap meet...

Have to bring a AC Adapter so we can use the laptops

Good to hear. Assuming you are going to be in the van I will cover your portion of the gas costs for the van since your paying for the gas to trailer your car.

Also, is there anyway we could get your car before tuesday afternoon, even if its just dropped off. That way I could get the car loaded up and me and Pete could take off around noon or a little before.

i3igpete · 06-10-2008, 02:50 PM

i think i'll ride in the minivan too, so you can take a couple hundred lbs of sand off the trailer and improve your gas mileage. did you still want me to swing by with my car on sunday or just whenever davey comes by with his?

edit: just talked to dave and his flight gets in at 1am monday night/tuesday morning. this scheduling is going to be poor. we will need to figure something out.

here's a crazy plan i thought up:
dave get back to his house at 2am.
dibari arrive from south bend or north brook at 2am.
drive both vr4's and dibari in minivan to travis's 3am
finish loading up on the trailer 4am
take minivan back home 5am
dave powernap until 8am, do work until noon
leave noon tuesday (dibari or i drive first leg), dave sleep in the back of the minivan.

talskinyguy · 06-10-2008, 02:58 PM

I would still prefer to get yours loaded early, so whatever day you can. Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.

stealthxtreme4- Luke(Skywalker) has a metal y-pipe for sale he can probably give you a deal since it's one of the things he's tryin to clear out of his garage(he's got an FMIC now so new piping), if you want I can call him and see what he's willing to take for it and hit you up since he's rarely on the boards now... might be a good excuse to upgrade now
