[san]

Looks like I won't be able to make it this year. My dad will be celebrating his 60th birthday on October 26th and am planning to spend oct 20-29 with them when they visit the USA. Was trying to see if I can make it somehow over the past few days but seems unlikely. ☹️

i'm 50% at this point - need to finalize some details with the wife. would be pretty fun.

[Wisco]

Damn.

I just realized that my boss, based in one of our European offices and that I don't see much, will be in the office here in Wisconsin over that week and the next.... so not a good idea to take Friday and Monday off for transit to Ohio for car fun.

I was so looking forward to meeting folks in person and some hands on DIY learning. Damn again.

Looks like this isn't gonna happen... another 14 cars by the 31st. Hmm.

I'll make the decision on the 31st. I'm leaning toward having it anyway. This forum was built not necessarily around the car, but more around the tight knit community we have.

Work has been crazy, but I'll try to take off. Lots of irons in the fire right now and I can't say for sure what my job will be looking like come October.

[kayger12]

Would love to make this, but I'll be out of the country that week. It'd be great to see this keep going.

Seven years later and I've got some great friends from what was built here.

Also, based on the historical temperatures it might be cutting it close for winter tires.

No. Winter tires won't be needed. We didn't even get snow last year.

I have been quiet on this thread cause I will be in DC that week and not sure I can make it back in time.
I will try my best to drive up and chat with the family, if I do, it will be on Sunday so maybe I can hold tools for the guys fixing cars..
Leaving only 1.5 hours south of Cinci, it would be a shame not to go say hi to the Boss and his friends.

Hey Dane, et. al, I am moving into a new home one month earlier than expected. I will need to be doing a lot of moving over the next 3 weekends, and especially on the weekend of the 20th. I really hate missing these events, but due to these specific circumstances, I'll need to miss out on this year.

At which one are you staying?

[az3579]

At which one are you staying?

Comfort Inn & Suites. 10 mins from DW's house.

[Sockethead]

Looks like family will have to take precedence over bringing the ZHP. We're going to make a family trip home to see Kristen's family in Columbus at the same time so there is no way I can fit everything in the ZHP. Plus we have to pick up all the leftover OEM parts to the 135 we left at her brothers house so most likely we'll be bringing a trailer too.
On the plus side, the twins will be able too meet all the Mafia family and see all of the cars that look like "daddy's car"
We'll probably only be able to make it Friday evening but we'll see how it turns out...

[holyc0w]

Also booked at the Comfort Inn

I may have an issue with driving up to west Chester next weekend. This is because as I was checking things under the hood today, I saw the clear signs of a busting radiator or expansion tank. Pics tomorrow.

I could bring parts and install up there but while it make the drive up from Lexington?

Don't want to thread jack the 2017 Mafia Meet thread so I posted them in my maintenance thread here (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?2559-Oli77-s-maintenance-amp-yearly-totals-ledger&p=543971#post543971).

I am making phone calls to get info on prices locally. This weekend is out for fixing and I leave for DC next week coming back on Friday night late.

Could:

1) order the parts, do the fix on Saturday and drive up for a lunch with the peeps on Sunday
2) pay shop to do it while I am gone in DC, drive up on Sunday
3) drive up to the meet on Sunday with the parts in the trunk

Hate that I'm missing this weekend's fun. Gotta get married and crap. Won't happen again (I hope)!

Y'all should try to sweet talk Spenser into driving however many hours with his seats folded down and my Quickjack in tow.

Edit: You know, I was thinking that having the seats down would be unbearable with the road noise, but now I remember that we drove that ridiculous blue thing all the way back from Canada with the seats down. Take the QJ!

Driving with the seats down is one of my favorite things with this exhaust!

I’m *trying* to squeeze in a side trip to the Dragon on my way up. Doing that with the QJ in the back sounds horrible. I might have to go hoon some Union County backroads as a test. Don’t worry, Nate—I’ll definitely skip Goldmine Road.

That is a pretty road to drive on compared to I80. I make quite a few drives each year to NJ and I drove on 76 quite a few times but have started to take 80 instead cause 76 would cost me about $80 in tolls (roundtrip) where as 80 is free while being only about 15-20 min longer...

Guys.... Just an FYI.

My Mom had a stroke on Tuesday and I'm picking her up from the hospital now in Cincinnati. Time and planning is very compressed at this point.

What I'm asking is that you just bear with me and give me some grace.

Much appreciated.

If you could plan to show up no earlier than 1700 at my house, I'm hoping to have everything squared away by then.

Also thanks to everyone that helped on Sunday. After the IACV cleaning and intake boot change, the power delivery seems to be a bit smoother especially in the troubled ~3K-ish and 4k-ish range. Hopefully it lasts for more than a day. :fingerscrossed

[Newjack]

Had a really awesome time. Dane, a huge thank you to you and your family for hosting this. It's a long drive but definitely worth it every year.

Got home around 11:30pm last night. Drive wasn't too bad, and the winter wheels were dropped off at my parents house.

So at first it was hard to tell what the shark actually did. Having four winter rims and tires in the car adds a lot of weight and I couldn't really tell if I had any extra power. I noticed right away that the 4k dip was smoothed out to be barely noticeable though. Honestly that was the only thing I really cared about since mine got so bad it felt like hitting a wall at 4k rpms. It's hard to describe, but the power delivery is different and I want to think the car has a little more power. It certainly feels that way especially with the dip almost completely gone. 6th gear at 80+ is a monster now, ask Justin.

Tokina 19-35. It’s an old film lens, so a good focal length on my FX sensor. Not the sharpest by today’s standards, but stopped down it’s a pretty solid performer, and it’s built like an Abrams tank.

I got a tokina 11-16 dx lens and it's pretty wide.

I picked up my Nikon d7500 that I sent for warranty repair and they fixed the auto focus issue I was having. But they seem to have left something inside the camera or didn't tighten something properly because when I shake the camera a little, i can hear something bouncing around inside...

Nah it’s still AF, but it’s definitely a slower motor. I didn’t pay attention until tonight my camera was in spot metering from some dog portraits, so I tried to salvage the exposures as well as I could.

You have some really nice shots, Marcin. One of them might become my signature picture, with permission of course :biggrin
