Official SDAC-25 Discussion Thread

Yeah I think I'm gonna pass this year, not gonna have a car ready and no info out yet to plan around. Maybe next year!

Well the dates and location have been set so you should be able to book your trip. The only think left is hotel which there will be rooms to book at, it's not like they fill up in the first hour. The SDACs I've gone to have have always had very reasonably price accommodations so I can't imagine it being extremely different. I've booked my flight since I know the dates and that is the hardest thing for me to get.

I'm going to try like hell to go this year with Mini. If you get here to NC you can co-pilot if you want. Wife will be visiting family, so most likely not coming to SDAC.

I am getting ready to book my flights. I already have the time off work. I dunno...it just seemed like it would be better to do it all at once. I suppose it really doesn't have to be...it's all happening at the same time!

So, you're all caught up then?
Come down to NC and help me get Mini in shape!

[Aries_Turbo]

you coming this year gary?

worked on it again today.

used an old subaru fuel pump and a 32oz cup and pumped CLR through the fuel lines. they were rusty inside. i looped the feed and return together under the car and bypassed the fuel filter with clear vinyl hose. lots of rusty nasty stuff came out.

then i flushed them with the garden hose. then i grabbed another old subaru fuel pump and cleaned out the 32oz cup and pumped wd40 through the same setup. tank was clean minus 3 small rust spots inside. wire brushed them with a fine stainless golf ball brush lol and wd'ed those spots.

got a new walbro 255 high pressure from cindy. fuel system should be good to go.

then comes the rehooking up everything in the dash and engine bay. shouldnt take too long.

engine is still the same stock 2.5 with forged slugs but now with cindys bolt in 50 trim with the custom housing, a ported 2piece intake, custom rail and 75lb injectors and a obx lsd in a 93 3.77 523.

ill have to make myself a new cal.

i want to put the a/c back in so i have all new lines for that.

if time allows ill put in a honda 3 core rad and my spearco intercooler thats been sitting in the garage for years.

the intent is fast enough not to destroy itself and comfy and cool inside lol.

Yes I am. Crunching to get a CSX sorted out to do some racing too.

[Sgt Craig]

Im trying to find a trailer to borrow so I can tow the van out to be able to race it!

[cudagirl77]

We found a place here in Michigan that rents enclosed trailers. So tempting, but 10 day rental was $1500!!

Sweet! Wait, who is this again? How long has it been Brian, seems like a few years. What was it last year, septic tank or something

[J&H Ryan]

Getting a small crew together from SE Mich. So far me, Joel (JoelZip), Frank (Radiant Red) and his wife. Let me know if you're local and want to convoy for fun/breakdown issues. SDAC will be host hotel, and Carlisle an Airbnb 25 min from the grounds. We should have at the least couch/air mattress space for someone that wants to chip in at the latter in Carlisle.
