Chris, is that your VQ35?

That's the original vq30. Pulled the intake to do valve cover gaskets because they leak on my driveway like a VW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
Flushed some dried coolant grit out of the passages and scored scaly-rust free steel bypass tubes at the PAP today, so I'm optimistic the cooling issue will be resolved. But then the cooling system is all new too. Last drive a week before got only a little high.
The vq35 swap will be practically starting from scratch, but I am taking measurements of the adapter plate while it's this far apart. Going to try to mate it to that WRX trans.


How are the head gaskets holding up? I was impressed with how it ran until it gets hot... wanna trade builds??

No signs of a head gasket leak. Only 20k miles on the motor and they are the metal layer type so unlikely anyways.

Might still have been bleeding air out of the system. The Celica rad doesn't have the cool inline bleeder that the original Corrado rad did. @mgp4591

Its over 900 miles & 15 hours one way driving. I think I am going to just fly to Vegas. Then I either snag an open seat. Get a cheap rental. Or go on Turo to get a Boxster for the weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

My flat tow bar arrived today. Towing the NARP from Phoenix to Payson where I will drop off my middle son for a training camp and the tow vehicle. My oldest and I will drive the NARP from there.

I really need to finish the AC system and fix the oil leaks before then.

I guess I could drive you around for a change (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Got the trans resealed today. So far I'm on schedule to have it all back in the car T-40.

I'm planning to do the whole shebang... 33 hours of driving.

You might want to fly to Santa Fe for the main drives/sightseeing and ride back. Day 1 & 2 from Vegas is all highway and a nice dinner @JRust

I looks like we are now up to 25 for the Banquet in Winslow, plus a handful that will be Santa Fe only.

Please check the first post for updates, details, additions and changes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

Clearly, I misunderstood the original post, and booked in Santa Fe through Sunday.

For any late additions, please don't make the same mistake I did - Saturday night hotel is in Winslow, AZ!

Just got off the phone with the hotel in Winslow and got my reservations straighten out. Now I'm all set to go Coast to Coast with stops for Ribs going to and from. Going to go see my Stepmother and sister while in Ca. See y'all on the 26th...

Add 1 for dinner with me John if possible.


Sadly I can't make it to NM this trip. Finding a good contractor for remodling is difficult at best but I found a good electrical guy for the Prescott house, so I am stuck in Prescott on the 22nd to the 23rd and I'll meet ya'll in Winslow and try and make it to the Petrified Forrest and the drive into Winslow on Sat.

Bringing a P car which is different than most have here, and a really funny story about it. I'm gonna keep it mute for now. It's a good cocktail story.

So sorry I'm gonna miss Las Vegas NM. It is a really cool little town... my Dad grew up there and is truly the original Old West or Wild West town. The drive from Santa Fe is a taste of wide open expanse of Pinon (insert tilde) forrest you'll ever see. The Gorge Bridge is spectacular. A walk across is in order to fully experience it.

Looking forward to seeing old friends and hopefully some new ones.

See y'all on the 26th.

The 26th in Winslow is correct @914 Ranch (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)
We are also looking forward to seeing you from the 23rd to 25th in Santa Fe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blue914.jpg)

Sadly I don't think this year is in the cards for me. Thought timing wise was good as I have a trade show in Vegas the following week. When I get down to it. Coming in Wednesday to join you guys. I'd end up being gone from home for 9 days. So I am 90% sure I am not going to make it. I'd try to make it & join you all Saturday. Just to damn far a drive from Vegas for a one day turn around. So just wanted to keep you all in the loop. While there is still an outside chance I make it for part of it. Odds are not looking good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Like Jamie, I won't be able to make it this year either (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... Too many irons in the fire, and having a road-worthy 914 in time isn't on the main burner.

Maybe next year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
