My little gift to the Road Trip group. To each CB7Tuner member who participates in the whole trip, I will give them a set of CB7Tuner.com vinyl decals - FREE!!!

I have 10 sets available that just came in today. Thanks Deev.

I think that's an awesome gesture. Thanks for supporting the site in such a cool way!

Man, this trip keeps getting better and better.

Thanks, Tishock! That's a really cool idea.

Holy Mackerel man! That's EPIC! Wow. Cb7Tuner all the way!

One month until we leave!

I think it's time one of us gets a bank of phone numbers, so that we have a way to contact each other while on the road. I especially need them so that I can know who is coming and who to wait for at the Golden Gate Vista Point, come 6:30am on April 11th. If you feel comfortable, PM me, and I will PM you my number as well.

I wish there was a wailing emoji, since that just doesn't do the emotion justice.

Oi, I am at a crossroads in regard to which car I should actually take on this trip.

CG5 vs. CB7

The thing holding me back from taking the CB7 is the fact that the rear main seal is seeping, most likely from my greatest blunder. As I was replacing the rear main back in the fall, I took out the arch to make sure I set that thing in properly. Well, all the little bolts had high temp white thread locker on them. I didn't clean the threads and put new thread locker on, used a criss-cross pattern to tighten them down in steps, and broke one of the top left bolts off in the process. My stupid brain did not think to look up torque specs! Here's the worst part, "Eh, it was almost tightened down, so I won't extract the bolt and just finish tightening everything down and put it all back together," . It was not dripping before drag racing, but during and after, there were drips in almost the same spots as before the new oil pan gasket went on. I just don't have time to take the transmission off again to fix it before the trip.

The CG5 would be perfect as soon as I get a proper alignment (Sears screwed up pretty badly), which will be happening ASAP. Every other major issue has been fixed since I bought it (new clutch, new Michelin Defenders, new rotors and pads all around). I can't take both cars because fiance does not know how to drive the CG5 on the new Exedy (completely different feel).

Ugh, I'm at a crossroads, what would you do? I'd hate to go against the name of this trip, so I won't if it's a big deal to you guys, as long as the seeping oil is not a real serious issue that would need to be addressed right away.

Highly likely out.... Employment problems...

[af_1132]

That sucks man. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things turn around.

Ah, an opportunity to use the wailer.

Well, I'm officially out. The money I had set aside for the trip and the rest of the parts I need has gone to unforseen circumstances.

:thumbs down I'm incredibly disappointed.

[af_1132]

Dude, no. Just, no. I'm real upset too.

[Lucien]

If there's anything I can do to make it last minute, I will. Even if it's just the last leg of the trip.
