-1989 240sx sold on CL
-1985 CRX DX, sold to Justin
-1985 CRX Si, sold to Indyman.

Damn it the oil pan gasket didn't seal on my car. So as soon as it comes back from the exhaust shop I'll be tearing it off to fix the pisser. Hopefully there won't be anymore set backs I'd really like to make it down there. I'll keep going on it till I get it right but I won't leave anything to chance on this trip with a freshly built engine if I can help it. Can you blame me it's 2000 miles or so round trip. Here's what I'm planning to bring.
It's my variant of the hydra. It's what I call the EZ1. Here's a link to my build. http://www.thezcr.co...ead.php?t=21315

It'll be on a weekend and I'll give plenty of notice. I am running the 12v EW. I first turbo'd it in 1995 and built the current exhaust manifold in 1998. The block has stock pistons w/shot peened rods/ARP bolts/head studs, ported head, valve springs,cam, 62mm TB, tubular exhaust manifold, t3/t04b turbo, Garrett intercooler, etc. The car still has AC. I built it to be a street car.
I should be able to reach 235whp at about 12-14 psi on race gas (C16).
My exhaust manifold. It has a Turbonetics Deltagate that goes on top.

I didn't get my car on the road yet but it's oh so close. I got the oil leak fix and the Ron Davis raidator dropped in. Ran it for about 30 minutes with no problems. So looks like the trip is a go.

Add another cool car to the meet, My friend Rob will be bringing his beautiful VW. I did the interior.
It was featured at the end of last year in one of the vw magazines, I called him today and he was doing a photo shoot for another magazine when I called.
And this will be another one at the meet, 09 Mugen civic Si.

From what I can see, that interior looks amazing in the VW.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at The Spring Kickoff.

Unfortunately, Aero & I won't be able to make it up this year.
My Koreana Gifts and Arts Store is open on the last Saturday of each month, and my Sister was supposed to cover for me this Saturday.
But she can't make it this weekend, so I have to stay and cover the store on Saturday.
Everyone have a safe and fun time.
Enjoy the great company and great cars.
Take lots of pics!
And drink a brewski for me please.........

Update for me:
I had bought a EW4 block of craigslist that I was going to swap in since my head gasket was dead and the water pump was leaking.
It was supposed to have lower milage and the head had newer valves and was good running.
Turned out the block had a whole the size of a golf ball with the piston/rod destroyed, so no good on the block.
The head was supposed to better so it was sent to a machine shop for a valve job, found out that all the exhaust valves where bent, 2 intake valves, and all valve seals broken.
The stock engine head that had the bad gasket is being sent in to the machine shop too. Hopefully it has only two bent valves, the cam shaft is snapped, also the timing belt was also stripped.
So the plan right now is: machine shop uses whats good from a combination of the two heads for one working head, and the snapped camshaft will be swapped with a gude bullfrog cam and AEM cam gear. Which will be put on a EW1 block that doesn't have as many miles on it and hopefully in better condition, this will be mated to the stock 85 si tranny and will hopefully be put back in to the crx with rebuilt axles before Saturday.
So I still hope to make it, even if I have to come late with the crx if it gets finished Saturday morning/noon.

So it looks like I will be a caravan of one on Saturday morning.
No problem, I will stop at the gas station in Sylmar (next to the Denny's right at the Roxford exit off the 5 FWY). I will check fuel and fluids, pause for any possible caravanners and the hit the road about 10:45am.
Doug, should I stop for ice on the way up or will you have enough?

Scott, another bag of ice can't hurt. Thanks
If you are getting directions from mapquest they are wrong at one point, do not turn toward Lamont(right) on the 184(weedpatch hwy), you will turn left.
Better yet just use my directions on the first post and you will get there just fine.
