Date May 22nd
Time Starts at 10am and runs till Dusk Location 16908 104th Ave, Surrey B.C. May 22nd Tech Session, this is the Pre-Arlington Tech day. This is to evaluate any problems that have shown up on the Hells Gate run, and fix them, as well as do a double check for the Arlington run. A US to Canada Tow bill would cost more than what some of us paid for our cars. I will have a list of suggested tools to carry for the event. I will have the code scanner out for people Plus the WinAldl cable for people who wish to do data logging. Please Bring if you have these items Basic Wrenches Basic Sockets Container to remove your used oil Grease Cartridge if you plan to lube your ball joints and tie rod ends. Cleaning stuff to shin up your car. We are doing a Pre Arlington Tech, so a good clean car is nice for the event. Radios. I want to do a radio range test, where people drive a distance away and see how well they work. I am going to try and get my V8 ready for the run. I really want to take it to Arlington this year. Tools I have for use Air Impact Gun Electric Impact Gun Air Grinders and Air Cutters Various pliers, wrenches ratchets, sockets and extras. Jack Stands 3 hyd floor jacks plus lots of other misc tools. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

You boys have fun, I'll be in California. Really do need to take my Gretchin to you some time though David. Whatever I've done, the clutch still doesn't have the on/off switch-like quality it did. ------------- Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan. |

I was wondering if you all know that a bottle of Coke doesn't make a very good engine coolant. 
I wished I could've been there. -------------  Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |
