It looks like everyone got their brackets tonight at the meeting except for one person. Glen you need to get a hold of me.
I also sold the last bracket to Tim. See you all at the Tech Session. The Dawg |

OK everyone, here's a reminder that the tech session is this Saturday at Dave's place. We will be aiming for a 10:00AM start (right Dave?). Everyone is welcome of course, this is not just about the idler project.
Bring any tools you might have and lets get some work done. The weather is improving every day. Soon it will be cruising friendly till 10 at night again. Lets get our cars ready for it. See you all there! The Dawg |

Nope....it was designed to use existing alternator bolts. Fits right in there no problem.
Dave, if you have any way of getting a hold of Glen to remind him to show up that would be great. The Dawg

Will be sending out the reminder email in just a sec. For those of you reading, remember, it's tomorrow at 10am-whenever. Would love to be able to toss in the suspension Harrison so graciously provided me if I have the time, but I'll have to see, as I have Hockey at 4pm.

Oh and as to the Island vs Mainland stuff, I have tried more times that I can count to get someone on the island to orginize things over there and no one really has stepped up or been able to. So as of now, all official club events are mainland only.

Well that's a problem I'll have to rectify in the near future. The pain in the ass part is the ferry though that's the thing that will probably deter most mainland people from coming and vice versa the islanders going to the mainland. I've tried to organize an island group but everyone is concerned with having to travel to the meets and bla bla. It's really annoying. I've tried I think 4 times and it's failed every time so I've given up. Well I'm off for a weekend of Easter dinner and drinking so I will check back Tuesday. Cheers guys. Wish I could come to the meet and show off my ride. He's torn apart right now. Doing a motor swap and interior refinish.

Thanks Cody.
Well as chance would have it, Glen has not picked his up. So I have an extra. If he ends up being a no show tomorrow it's yours. Keep in mind that I only did this as a club event. Once they're gone they're gone. Rodney Dickman sells a kit. He's got a web site. The Dawg

Tech session wrap up:
Tino and Tim got their idlers installed without too much trouble. The fit was perfect. Tristan showed up with a set of rear struts to install. Kevin and Dave helped him with that. Later we noticed that Tinos rear tires were badly toed out. It was decided that we couldn't make it any worse. We managed to get them toed in close enough. A lower control arm needs new bushings before more can be done. The weather was fantastic. It was great to see everyone. Thanks to Dave for use of his shop! ps. I have the last bracket available for sale. PM me if interested. The Dawg |

Wonderful day! Who said you can't still have fun without a fiero Still can't believe those alignment professionals left the rear of Tino's car in such a horrible 1" toe out condition. When you think about it, where we measured was 1" but if we could actually get the tape measure to the very front and very rear of the tires - I am sure - would have been worse than that. After all that playing around, just made me miss my car even more. Good times. Thanks to Tristan for taking me to grab that bottle of NOs Cheers! |

. Damiens Idlers looked great and fit perfect. I only noticed a slight alignment issue inline with the belts but the bracket can easily be twisted to correct. I love/hate how I can always see imperfection with my eye. 
Must have been like dragging an anchor while driving.
