SDAC-Chicago Meeting

[dodgeman87]

Monthly meeting at Jim's house in Aurora, Il. Drinks, food & fun on Saturday April 12th starting at 5:00. As usual I'll be making some good food and I'll get the wife to make her homemade cookies. If your in the Chicago area stop in. There is a ten dollar fee for food but it's worth it.
Burnouts in the street as you leave are required. See you there.

Jim:lol:

[Dodge Aries K]

I'll be there Jim! I don't want to miss out on your cooking and this time I'll have a car that can burn rubber.

[89ShelbyGuy]

Well, I'm not sure if we cam pass up that generous offer, but since we already advertized the meet next weekend it's kinda hard to change... I know a few of us will be down for meeting twice tho :thumb:

[Birddog]

Second meet at a Hooters??:eyebrows:

[BadAssPerformance]

My guess? A lot! but we may just have to find out :thumb:

[WickedShelby88]

Wheres this hooters you speak of? I may be able to make it out there if its not too far.

[dodgeman87]

Alan,
Are you the one with the "infamous" Chrysler 300 with nitro ?

Jim

[dodgeman87]

Carl,
Just remember if you come you have to leave rubber in the street when you come. If you want to bring your girlfriend my wife could stand some company.

Jim

[Dodge Aries K]

I'll most likely bring the green Neon. It's plenty powerful enough to rip up those tires. Or... might bring the Escort wagon if Christine and I decide to go to the junkyard that day too. As for my fiancee, it'll be better if she stays home. She's just not a people person at all. Trust me.

Jim

Now just how would I get connected with that little stunt:evil:? I may have rented a 300C once:lol:...

[WickedShelby88]

Mr. K remember to go to the JY during the day:thumb: Also you should bring your better half as well. Shes never going to break her anti-social ways if you keep her locked up in the basement.

[Dodge Aries K]

Pick and Pull is my friend. She's getting there... but she takes it slowly. Groups of people she's uncomfortable with but a few at a time she's getting better with.

[WickedShelby88]

I fought with the same things shes going through for quite some time. Yes pick-n-pull is definitely the best. All other yards should bow down. Good luck with selling the vert. We will call you the neon rainbow master.

[Turbodave]

I'll be there Jim, either with the new truck or the neon most likely. Kate may be coming with but I'm not sure yet.

[89ShelbyGuy]

Dave, i don't think i've seen you once in any of your turbo dodges driving it :confused2: I would bring my other blue shelby, the one will be offering to the shelby club first, but its not registered.

Tom

I used to daily drive the Shadow and the Turbo Van before I got the neon, but lately haven't driven any of them. Should all change this summer.

[Sgt Craig]

Ill need a DD,Marines can drink,lol.

Im going to tell jack to bring it here so I can drive it before you,lol.

[Sgt Craig]

Ill be there Sat with the Van.Dont know what time.Our Grand opening is this weekend so we might be busy.Stop by if anyone can before the meet.They are giving away a bunch of stuff including a new lexus.Its the new Firestone in Oswego right nest to Miers on 34.

It would be nice to see you driving a TM again Dave. While your collection is impressive, it is even more impressive to me that you are never seen driving any of them! :thumb:

Does it count that my wife thinks the neon has a turbo?

The Shadow will be back on the road again soon, but not a daily driver. I really have the bug to get a turbo rampage put together this summer to drive to work every day.

[MiniMopar]

Like the wording.... *A* turbo Rampage....

[WickedShelby88]

lol.. Yeah I don't think my second two TD's counted myself as they didn't boost. Not sure what was with the 85 SC and the 86 Tona TZ wouldn't get out of its own way not to mention the boost gauge never really crawled past 3..

[Dodge Aries K]

I don't have boost but I will have 16 valves of DOHC 7600 RPM loving power available to me. :p

I'd actually like to turbocharge a Neon someday... *wishful thinking*

[WickedShelby88]

If you recall that one guy we rode with did it cheap and was still using the stock ECU at the time. He was running it on a SOHC. You could easily do it on a DOHC with the right bottom end parts and better exhaust valves.

[Dodge Aries K]

That guy we rode with... jesus you should see his car now. He told me he has about $15,000 into the drivetrain of that damn thing! It's INSANELY fast.

It would be very VERY easy to get a turbo on the DOHC engine (SRT-4 exhaust manifold/turbo unit) but you in all honesty need a megasquirt and some sort of fuel return system for it to work properly. The stock DOHC engine loves I think up to 12 PSI before you have problems. I'd just run it at 10 PSI intercooled and call it a day. :)

But, as why I'm selling the GTC, no funds for that just of yet.

If it keeps raining though, I will probably just drive the DeathScort...

[WickedShelby88]

There is a kit on the forward motion site I believe for said return line.

Setting up the return is easy,Ive done a few of them.10 PSi max to play it safe.The stock rods wont take much more and if it detonates its toast.

hey all... i know this is a thread about the next meeting and all but i saw on the website that there was this thing called shelby fest goin on the 18th and 19th and i had a few questions... like where exactly is it and can you just pull up in your shelby and walk around? do you have to pay or anything? i really want to go and any info would be sweet... thanks much!

Here's the website for that event:
http://www.shelbyfest.net/html/itinerary.html

I've never been to that one as it's down near St Louis, but it looks interesting. Looking at the 2007 pictures it was all Fords that showed up, and looks to be geared towards them.

If your looking for a big gathering of Shelby Dodge products come out to SDAC-18 in Michigan this year, it's the biggest event specific to these cars each year and a really good time:D

[BadAssPerformance]

ShelbyFest is a Team Shelby event so mostly Ford products but maybe some Sheby Dodges? Would be great to go, but I can't make it :(

I will be at the meeting tho, hoping for nice weather! :thumb:

[WickedShelby88]

SO far rain in the forecast, but I'm hoping it will be different. They called for rain last sunday and it was the nicest day we'd had in months.

A few months back at the first Team Shelby event, we talked to the folks allllll the way up the chain at TS, they emphatically assured us that the Shelby Dodge cars (as well as ALL shelby cars) would be welcomed at all TS events. At that event, the SD cars and owners really were made to feel welcome. RIP SAAC, long live Team Shelby:amen:

[turbo-charger88]

so its mainly shelby mustangs and that sort of thing... ok well good thing i got that info before i headed down there haha... and i definately want to try and make it to SDAC-18. that would be awesome. i dont see many of these cars at all and it would amazing to see so many in one place. the only shelby charger i have ever seen up close and personal is the one i own! thats unnacceptable...

[MiniMopar]

Well hopefully the Chicagoland folks will start driving their cars again. I think there have been meetings where I had the only TD.

Hey, i think i saw you one time...i use to work at that firestone on wise and roselle road. One time a kid in a charger was sitting at the country doughnuts parking lot and looked like he eyed down my red 89 daytona shelby with t-tops. Was that u? I am located in bloomingdale, so fairly close to you, i have NEVER seen a 89 shelby in my area other then the 2 i own too! lol

Tom

[BadAssPerformance]

Yeah these cars are becoming fewer all the time... thats why we try to stick togther :thumb:

[WickedShelby88]

You hit the nail on the head JT. Our cars are becoming more of endangered species every day.

[turbo-charger88]

it might have been me... yeah i havent seen any chargers around. but my friend had a shelby z and a shelby lancer. so those are really the only turbo dodges i have seen, and they were enough to get me hooked! but yeah i just recently saw an IROC daytona around... but other than that i havent seen much.

[BadAssPerformance]

Sweet, always cool to find more Shelby Dodges around! :thumb:

[2.216VTurbo]

I'm craving hot wings and Hooters girls:thumb: I mean hot wings and pitchers, I mean, well, all of the above:eyebrows:. JT, did you tell the locals we have a sponsor for the Hooters meet?:thumb:

[Dodge Aries K]

That sounds fun too. Not sure if it's an invite only thing but I'd like to go to that. :)

[BadAssPerformance]

Mmmm..... beer, wings, orange shorts... sounds like a plan :thumb: Probably time move this discussion over to the SDAC-Chicago thread (http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8064):thumb:
