Default Re: WMD for Saturday / Sunday August 20 and 21st

I had a great time both days, wish I could have staed later on Sunday. Jim, David, Phil and I installed a RD Racing cross bar on my car (runs between shoulder belt mounts; reduces body flex). Thank You all!

Ironically, I have an actual lead on my car's ocassional no-start problem. On the way home, I stopped at a Sunoco and filled up. Again no start... plenty of juice. I already solved the VATS issue and replaced the battery. Apparently I have a heat soak issue. I push started the car and it ran fine. At least I now have a direction (and old wiring may also relate to the heavy electrical load with the A/C on). I suspect the wires going from the battery/relay have degraded and when the car is hot, no-start problems. This was really hard to figure out as I don't usually make short trips, or if I do, I am not restarting the car right away. I'll do some more testing...

Wow rough weekend!

Header install Saturday for Yun....

Flywheel / clutch install that took much longer than expected (leaks and issues, but all resolved) Dana 44 (stock 3.45) upgraded to (3.73) for Ricky. Both were sunday and not finished until after 2am!


Lots of other misc items fixed on 3 other cars. I think the rest of WMD's will be scheduled to allow for potential issues.

Jim thanks for hosting!

Great weekend!

To all the WAZOO boys, thanks for all your help!!!!!!
My Z is sooooooooo much quieter at speed and now shifts like budaah! I've really got the itch to do more, now that I've got such a great bunch of guys to back me up. I WILL be back!
Friday for carlise looks questionable for me, but Saturday is carved in stone.......see you then!

Just felt the earth shake. First thought it was Ricky getting after it with his new gears then I turn on the TV and see it was in fact an earth quake.

I hear you Phil, I thought it was the Blue Turtle stomping around.

A careful inspection of the WAZOO WMD facilities has been completed, everything is OK for the next event.

Hi Dave, I bet the new U-joints made a lot of the noise difference. I wonder if the loose clutch spring clip was the cause of the noise we heard on Saturday evening as you were driving on to the lift?

Glad we could help.

Can't thank Phil & Jim enough, they stuck it out with installing my gears
till 2:30 am! Phil gave Jim and I a great education on ther install. Phil made sure my car was 200% correct for my 3.5hr trip home. I arrived at Jim's at 10.00am Sunday and got home 6:30 am Monday. I will give a informed report on the gear swap after Carlisle, I was to tired to evaluate them on the drive home. I'm very proud to call these guys my freinds.
PS. The Blue Turtle cut out at 5 pm
