SDAC and Carlisle 2015

[Johnny]

No joke....not going.
Taking the car back a part.

[Reaper1]

Bring the wagon!!

It's too bad you're so far away (~8hrs), otherwise I'd drive down there and help!

[fixit]

hey, do you happen to know know what the front fender flairs are .. 240z ... on the srt4?

Just get in line! Hotchkis puts on the event, and you can either watch, ride in their car, or run your own. There was one Viper last year that ran, but the lap times were a letdown.

There are two cars you'll have to beat. One is the Hotchkis Challenger:



...and the other is this machine:



I'm pretty sure that SRT-4 is the only car to beat the Hotchkis car last year. It belongs to a long-time 2GN member. Last year, there was an issue with the Hotchkis car, and this SRT-4 was giving rides while they fixed the Challenger!

Holy cow Johnny. I'm so sorry to hear that. What's the story on the motor? Do the rod bearings look beat pretty badly?

[turbojerk]

My car wasn't fast enough to get picked on.... had some pretty interesting finishes though... not caught on video... LoL

[jonnymopar]

So how many people will be coming from SDAC to Carlisle? I wish I could make it to both, but I've got a 5 month old son at home. A whole week was a bit too much to ask.

Just texted the owner. He said he got them at www.jdmflares.com .

Not taken it apart yet.
Was built when I worked at a hotrod shop 9 years ago with all the right stuff. Under supervision of a master OR the machine shop installed the parts into the short block, I can't remember. Too long ago. It should have bee good. It sat here on the shelf, it should have been fine. Also pre-oiled it. It should have been fine.

[bfarroo]

Put the old motor back in.

[Johnny]

I could but its too much work and time to still make it to the shows. So doing it it right, fixing this one OR upgrading the original engine by putting forged pistons in it.

Come out and enjoy yourself and worry about it when you get back.

[cordes]

Come out and enjoy yourself and worry about it when you get back.

At this point I think it's the best solution.

[jonnymopar]

Come out and enjoy yourself and worry about it when you get back.

The way I see it, you've got two choices:

1: Be aggravated about the engine while hanging out at SDAC/Carlisle
2: Be aggravated about the engine while not attending SDAC/Carlisle

I think Option 1 would be your best bet.

[Johnny]

I think Option 1 would be your best bet.

yes you are right.
Plane tickets now are sky high though at this late date.

[Chris W]

Why let your hotel reservation $ go to waste?

If it wasn't a 12,293-mile round-trip to give you a ride, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Start a fund me account. I am sure $5-$10. per person would not be a problem. I will donate $25.

I'll toss in some money. I'll double it if you bring me a poly clutch arm bushing for my 555.

[Johnny]

No don't start this....I am not going.
Going to fix the car and the Rampage.

[Reaper1]

Johnny, come on out, buddy! You were going to spend quite a bit on fuel etc. getting there by driving. Use some of that for the plane tickets and then the rest to fix it when you get back.

Give yourself a break, brotha! You deserve it!

[Johnny]
