I had mine professionally stored while I was away.

Things are looking up for me having my car again this year.

sleepyalero 05-05-2014 06:38 PM

Hope you make it.

Papa Rad17 05-06-2014 04:02 PM

I'm going to try and make it as well. Im on a leave of absence until two compressed disks in my spine get fixed. If I get back to work in time I'll make the trip for sure. Driving the alero up will a heck of lot cheaper then the GTO from 09's ass so im hopeful. we shall see

sleepyalero 05-26-2014 10:11 PM

Comin up!!!!

Oldsnut 05-26-2014 10:47 PM

I will be there, just not sure when I will be arriving.

sleepyalero 05-27-2014 01:16 AM

I may be there friday night. Just depends if fisdad will be riding with me or not.

03glgold 05-27-2014 06:44 AM

At this point it would be more of a surprise to make it then to not...if I meet my goal for money in the bank and am not needed at my internship then i will be there...it will be a longer drive for me this year because i am usually out in hays which adds an extra 160 miles to buy gas for...i currently have about 50-60 % of my goal

[ion] C2 05-27-2014 07:52 AM

lots to do before this!
:panic:

NoSweat83 05-27-2014 08:39 AM

Glad to see this is still going and hope that it continues. Will have to try and make it next year schedule permitting.

Redog 05-28-2014 12:40 AM

It's looking like a next year for me too. I'm already regreting not coming out this year. Talking with the g/f and she says "We'll go next year then"

And before anybody says it, I chose to NOT go before I even met her ;)

Papa Rad17 05-28-2014 01:14 AM

Im still unsure I will be able to make it or not as well.

sleepyalero 05-28-2014 01:36 AM

ahoessss

03glgold 05-28-2014 08:09 AM

The other thing that could help is if i got my gas mileage up about 10 mpg... I am tired of getting 22-23 highway with my eco that i have seen get as much as 36mpg...changed the pedal sensors which helped some as it now actually has fluctuating rpm based on load instead of holding steady until downshift...gonna run injector cleaner through and see if it helps...i have noticed a very minor miss (no codes) that i would either attribute to that or coil pack, plug rail, plug boots, or plugs (boots and plugs have around 47k on them but it has been low for a good 10k mile)...i am also nervous about taking the plugs out since no plug grease was used because didnt think about aluminum head and have never had an issue on a iron head car without it

sleepyalero 05-28-2014 08:55 AM

Anti seize goes on the threads. Boot grease goes on the acrylic center so the rubber boot doesnt stick to the plug.

You know what i mean :p ...i have done plugs in plenty of iron head motors and done just fine without all that stuff...i will prolly actually be fine if i start it from fully cold and let it run for a little bit

removing them is best when they're fully cold...

Babyblue 05-28-2014 09:04 PM

I have some stuff to do before I head out...axle boot...control arms and tie rod ends. Then the clean of a lifetime!

Papa Rad17 05-31-2014 03:27 PM

Will anyone coming have some aleromod stickers? I really need some stickers...

tw0123 05-31-2014 07:48 PM

I'd be surprised papa... that was Kyle's dept and I'm not sure who has taken over that part for him.... I know I'm still waiting for my vip package of the sticker and t shirt and I'm sure I'm not alone....
