Nope, kept all the engine/turbo stuff, just swapped out the AEM for a DSMlink and added a bunch of comfort stuff I took out previously like power steering, heat and AC, sound system, etc. Should make more power than before, but weigh an extra 300 or so pounds.

Scheides, Mark, Kevin, and myself are embarking on the cruise bomber-run in about an hour so the itinerary and more details will be posted within a week!

**scheides** · 03-16-2008

Wow I feel like crap this morning. Hope you like 'hangover scheides' as much as 'party scheides' .......kinda like 'Hawii Barbie' and 'Montezuma's Revenge Ken' LOL

sweet.
That is probably the creepiest analogy in the history of man.

**Kracka** · 03-16-2008

The bomber run was a great success and the official route has been mapped/driven! Now, for a meeting spot on Saturday morning, we will be using the large parking lot of Perkins near the intersection of 694 and White Bear Avenue (south-east corner) at 9:00 AM. We will be embarking on the cruise at 10:00 AM *SHARP*, but you need to arrive at 9:00 AM so we can go over some basic info and pass out the map packets. There is a BP gas station next door. If you need to fill-up at BP or want to grab some breakfast at Perkins please arrive early i.e. before 9. Plan to leave for the cruise will a full stomach and tank of gas. Plan for about 180 miles to LaCrosse and ~350 miles round-trip (we will be taking a different route home). We found no E85 stations along the way until we hit LaCrosse so if you can't get 200 miles from your tank of E85 please bring a 5-gallon can with you just in case! There is a BP station across the street from where we will be eating lunch so no worries for us regular gas burning folk

The first post has been updated with this info.

Does anybody have an open shotgun??? I'll drive my gsx if I get the clutch and tune done by then but I really wanna have a seat open if that doesn't work. lmk!

Kevin 1G Drummer · 03-16-2008

The Perkins is on the north east corner of White Bear Ave. and County Rd. D. Just to be a little more specific.

craig · 03-16-2008

screw you and your no e85 station, guess i have to go buy a few gas cans.

TkrPerformance · 03-16-2008

just get it retuned before hand bro. and bring a 5gal gas can with you or we could put in my trunk so it does not stink up your car

craig · 03-16-2008

turbotalon1g · 03-16-2008

No kidding! MAP could have your car back to you the same day for the clutch job and it should only take Shane a few hours to get your car tuned! I know Shane is booked out a few weeks right now, but call tomorrow and make an appt!

**Kracka** · 03-16-2008

*edit*

The trip to LaCrosse will be ~150 miles from the Perkins.

turbotalon1g · 03-16-2008

Thats easily doable.
i am made a lot of progress this weekend, tomorrow i remove the tranny and get the flywheel machined wednesday/thursday it goes back in, friday mount battery, saturday paint calipers, install SS lines.

mdost03 · 03-16-2008

Good deal, I'll probably top off my tank again at the BP station since it will be an hour drive to the meet spot from where I live. Do they have 92 there or 91?

95talonracer · 03-16-2008

I need a clutch by next weekend or i might not make it, anyone have a 2900 or similar?
