Welcome to the new home.......Viva La Resistance.....

[3Srunner]

Good ol' NWI active as ever I see. Hopefully others in the area will merge over from 3si, the few that exist anyway...

[3Srunner]

About time! Where the hell have you been? What is the current status of your 3S? Both Dillon and I are down at the moment :lo5l:

So a few of us are going to US41 on April 17th and you need to come with 3S or not!

Shawn...

[ViperZ]

Hahaha, well I'm in the club with you guys. Mine is down at the moment. What time on the 17th? I might be in Indy but I can swing by 41 on my way back up

[3Srunner]

Track will be open April 17th (Sunday) from noon - 4pm for TNT. We plan on getting there around noon and leave at closing.

look what just came :)

[3Srunner]

How much did that set you back? Where are you going to mount it? If you have problems with it I'll take it off your hands :biggrin:

Shawn...

[dpartinvr4]

lol i'm mounting it below my battery tray, and it was 134 from summit.

[3Srunner]

That's not bad at all. I bought a new battery a few months back and I'm kicking myself now. I was planning on a battery relocation, now I'm debating on one of those...

Shawn...

[dpartinvr4]

a vendor on here, STM or something makes a relocate kit for this battery in particular, he makes one for in the engine bay and one in back IIRC

[3Srunner]

Yes I did see that, it was very well done. However for it's purpose I think I can make do with something a bit cheaper. I'd still relocate the battery, however the size of the battery would give me a lot more options for relocation. Saving weight and cleaning up the engine bay would be really nice. If it works well for you I'll buy one.

Shawn...

[dpartinvr4]

i'm not putting mine in the rear though, i'm going to try and tuck it under the battery tray....and then tell everybody my car has a solar battery in the sunroof lol

[3Srunner]

Why be a poser? Just buy a Toyota Prius and be done with it, haha... Yeah I think I may do the same thing. Although having easy to reach jump points may be important. Especially if the battery doesn't crank well in the cold or hold a charge after a few days, just a thought...

Shawn...

[dpartinvr4]

you're supposed to be able to store this thing for two years and it will hold a charge, and I don't drive in the winter so i'm not overly worried about "cold starts"

[3Srunner]

Any luck with that return line?

The new plates for my flywheel arrived today! Hopefully I can find some time next weekend to put everything back together.

[dpartinvr4]

no, I'm gunna take another crack at them tonight.

[3Srunner]

Yeah I wish I could help. I miss working on my car and this weather makes it that much worse... How long did it take you to swap the rear turbo? Did you reinstall the heat-shield?

Shawn...

[dpartinvr4]

i got rid of that POS, and the rear turb was sooooo easy, most of the problems i'm having are from the housings being bigger.

[dpartinvr4]

whats up guys?

[dpartinvr4]

NWIC, we need to assemble soon.

[IPD]

hell, no one in the area wanted to organize for a local meet when i was living up there. :(

[dpartinvr4]

We have had a couple meets, but the rule seems to be "somebody has to be on ja,kstand duty at all times" lol

[dpartinvr4]

I know your post is from 2011. When did you live in NWI?

I'm from NWI, currently in Indy.

[IPD]

Alex, I lived over 25 years in Indiana, between Wabash and Anderson. Guess it's more "north central to north east" Indiana, but still. Back in those days, the highest concentration of 3/s owners seemed to be in W. Lafayette--P.U.

Ah, I grew up near Valparaiso. '98 - '07 then West Lafayette '07-'10.

Living in Indy now. What time period were you in The Region?

[IPD]

79-2007.

[Alex3000gt]

My goodness, a native Hoosier!

Perhaps this is why we see eye to eye sometimes!

Dillon - when is the next meet?

Alex

[familyMAN]

Bought my first vr4 when I was at PU. Think it was 1999 or 2000 when I bought it. Now back in Indiana again but down south.

[Alex3000gt]

I spy a Dillon!
