OHIO guys...anyone wanna come? Putting my block in, then going racing (Saturday)
I don't have many details yet. Here is the story.
Tried to sell my block. No luck with that, so instead of letting it go to waste I am putting it together this week and installing in the car this weekend. Saturday, B19CivicHB (nick) is coming to help. Nothing too exciting, pulling the old block, switching over everything then installing the new block. Same head, no turbo...yet.
Sunday, we (nick and I) are taking his car to National Trail for their last test and tune. Unless I do some crazy endurance driving I will not have 1000 miles on the motor, so I am not running.
It would be cool if we could get a bunch of us together for the track day. You are all welcome to come help with the swap too. <hint, hint>
Post up, it'll be snowing soon. This may be your last chance.

Im glad what you wrote isnt true......I actually thought you mean you really were putting your block in AND THEN going racing.
You should have put AND THEN GOING TO THE RACES.
BTW, Im glad you decided to keep the block for yourself, all that time and energy wont be thrown away now.
L VE,
Ma$e
P.S. You still suck.

I am not sure where the work is being done at yet. Nick hasn't gotten back to me yet. If anyone has a real nice fully equiped garage don't be shy I am ready to either do it here (in centerville) or pack up my stuff and go elsewhere. No difference to me.
I do know that the racing is going on on Sunday. National Trail Raceway out near Columbus. I have never been to that strip. It should be fun though. Here is a link: http://www.nationaltrailraceway.com/
Oh, and Stan and Mase: I'll get you plane tickets this evening. Do you have a meal preference?

I'm in Marysville, ohio. Which is like 20 minutes from dublin, I don't know jack about putting the block in and **** but I'd be up for the races. Let me know when and where to meet on sunday and maybe we can get up a caravan to the track. Hopefully I can figure out whats up with my wastegate and get it working and be able to run my turbo at the track for the first time. Let me know. PM or email me. If you really want to get ahold of me call me at 614-205-3507.

wait, scratch that return flight, remember the deal was your block for the explorer, and since the block is going in the car, i guess I'm taking the block along w/ the car home.

Re: OHIO guys...anyone wanna come? Putting my block in, then going racing (B19CivicHB)
Alright gents,
Kyle and I will be doing the block work at my dad's house (as i live in an apartment and dont have a garage ) Anyone is welcome to come get dirty with us.
Sunday we are going to National Trail Raceway for their final test and tune. It would be great if a lot of you could make it out there for that.
I live in Columbus and can get directions to anyone that may need them.
Hope to see a lot of you this weekend.

Re: OHIO guys...anyone wanna come? Putting my block in, then going racing (Farnsrocket)
lol Stan. I'll get you the Thai item
good postwhoring Nick
I am leaving Centerville around 9-10am on Saturday for Columbus. About an hour drive. Meeting up at Nick's apartment around 10-11 then heading to his dad's to end my warranty.
It would be cool if we could get a bunch together at least to go to the track. Show the TX and CA boys what's up.
Anyone have a digital camera? I would like to document the process but I can't buy a camera cause it is a X-mas present Thanks, see you guys this weekend.
