Hey Rich,

I'm kind of new to the ZR-1 world and would like to come out and meet some of the other ZR-1 owners, so count me in also. I think I spoke to David about this just today, glad you're doing it on Sunday. I'll plan on coming up and being there at 8a, not sure exactly how long I can stay but, anything else I need to do aside from just show up?

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Welcome to the "Brotherhood" and nope, just show up and meet the WAZOO. Just knock on the garage door if no one is out front when you arrive.

Rich,

Do you have a weatherpack pin release tool?

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Yun,
Which kind? The only one I have is for the round pins found in the O2 sensor connectors.

Rich

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Yeah. Release tool to remove round pins from the connector body.

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Thanks for hosting a MVD Rich. I will be there. Do you need any special tools?

Jim

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Great Jim! No, I think I have everything. Phil is bringing a main seal installing tool, so I think I'm good. See ya tomorrow.

I had a great time meeting all you guys today, thanks again for having me out. I learned a lot.

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

It was great meeting you, thanks for coming out. Nice car too!!
Rich

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Jeez, I miss 1 tranny pull and you fellers have to use a jack.....WTH????

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

No one has the power press mastered like you do.

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Yeah...Yeah....Well since my ceiling height is only 9 or so FT, you can't fully stand up under my lift, so it makes a jack a necessity. Jim really took a like'n it it :-D
Rich

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Thanks for hosting this Rich. Always great to get together w/ the WAZOO gang!

Darrin - you may become obsolete!

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

You probably wouldn't have held the transmission level so David could set his iPad on it... :D

Hopefully, though, the jack still gave David a hard time about bringing an iPad in the first place to a trans pull. Otherwise, I don't see how it could be considered a replacement?

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Actually, as long as mass=torque equation holds true (I believe it's Newtonian law of physics...), Darrin will always be relevent. Rusted nuts and 500 ft/lbs torque specs help too!

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Yun, I'm glad to hear that I'm not obselete yet....

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

Never!!!

Re: MVD - 15 January, 2011 Mount Vernon, VA
 

I can verify that Darrin has been an asset to the FAMILY and has not yet been deemed obselete, :saluting:
