So how do you all feel about the weather if it doesn't cooperate? My personal take on it is if it's raining we should just cancel the meet. I don't mind a sprinkle but it takes the fun out of meeting everyone and talking "outside" when it's pouring.

Looks like possibly 7 people so far with a concrete 5.

I have a feeling more people would show up if it was nice weather. But the weather man is saying showers. I wouldn't be butt hurt if we bumped it to next weekend or something. But weather then looks for shit too LOL. With crap weather I would almost be tempted to try to turn it into a BBQ / hang out session at someones house. I would say mine but its typical batchelor pad (this morning I moved the two 1g heads I have to massage into the storage closet out on the deck LOL.

I agree. This summer will be the perfect opportunity for us to enjoy the sun and have some meets. English Racing has dyno meets that would be great to have everyone meet up as well and have a BBQ or something. We could always meet at a restaurant or something. I'm not sure what Woodburn has...

The weather predicting keeps changing. Right now it looks like it's just going to be cloudy. But we all know how good they are at predicting one day to the next.

I'm really just looking for something low-key. Break the ice per se to get us all together. It's always nice meeting other people that have the same passion in cars.

Agree'd. Much better than the sad days of meeting at the strip and helping people push broken cars LOL.
 
well bad news guys, my car overheated today just sitting on the turbo timer..i came outside and there was coolant everywhere.....now its having a tough time idling and its running exremely rich, wideband says 10.9 wile im trying to idle..... so i have a feeling im gonna be down for awile again.:banghead::toobad::(
 
Subscribing to the thread...

Anyway, hey all, new-(ish) to portland, i lived here a couple summers in a row for an internship and now I am working for the company as of the beginning of the month and college being out. I would totally rock a meet if we can make it happen. Be warned though... my baby has had quite a few winters in montana under here belt so she has some rock chips and nasty scraping on the front bumper... but I have a feeling if you all can look past her simple blemishes, I would be down for any meets I can make this summer! Please keep the thread updated!

And so it begins....... (bad CTS maybe??)

what turbo timer are you using? Same thing happened to me on my greddy timer. The fans don't kick on with the timer on and I noticed it untill I saw the coolant boiling off the bottle, just like you. I checked the wiring on the timer and all is good, I have the plug and play connector. I think it's the timer it self that sucks.

Sucks to hear that though. My engine survived when that happened and just last week I lost all my oil on the highway because my oil cooler line came loose. Surpricenly, she still runs fine... And if she blows a piston she better still run fine haha.
 
derp my car's being stupid. I'll try and make it out with the laaameser, if I don't I'll be running the Volvo down there.

ya its a greddy TT...... thats probably what happend..... but i have a feeling it is the CTS......the oil looks fine and the coolant looks fine, its just dumpin fuel in like a snatch, so im gonna replace the sensors and see if that works...if all is well ill still plan on comming up there.....
 
As expected the weather keeps changing. But so far as of this morning the prediction is "Clouds with some sun" as per accuweather.com.

Was planning on changing out a bad front ball joint:rocks: and a few other little odds and ends this weekend. Where's this thing going down? I might be able to get there...

The Woodburn outlet mall at noon. xx503boyxx came up with the location. I'm not sure where in the parking lot since it's pretty big. I think we should have a plan.

I'm thinking the right side of the road and as soon as there is enough parking spaces available. I don't think the back parking lot gets too many cars...

well we can always just play it by ear. i mean through everyone we have each others numbers right. paul i have yours. and jon's and david's numbers. so since paul and i are going up together we can help set it up on where to meet. drop our wives off at the mall and go check out wal-mart. let me know. i might be a little bit later then noon. the wife's boss is a big a-hole so not sure if she will be off in time to be there by noon. but no later then 1pm. but yeah just hit me up. you guys also have my number just hit me up if you guys need anything. L8!!!!

I'm fine with waiting to meet after noon–more like 1pm'sh. It might make it easier for a lot of us anyway. rx7ttlm said he'd be a little late, now you.
