Just got back from the Ventura show, looks like there a refinery fire just south of the pad. I could see it from the Santa Monica mountains 45 miles away. I took the coast route home (PCH) nice drive all the away back visibility was unlimited!

The Roush took home 2nd place of the 05 & up modified class. Also took an award for Best Engine, cool makes cleaning it yesterday worth while. The location was top notch, right smack dab in the Harbor, the cars were parked next to all kinds of fishing and commercial boats. I saw Phil and Lenny had lunch with David my tax accountant and signed my tax papers I have a big refund coming double of what I had anticipated. The Tri County group is a great club just like the Simi Valley folks, I like these small shows you really get to meet the locals. I'll post some pictures later.

I got the pulley off today and have been trying to get a center on the bolt stuck in the blower snout so I can drill for an ez-out.

If I can't get it, I'll take the TVS off and put the stock blower back on till I can get it fixed!


Congrats on the 2nd place Jed!

Congrats Jed.
2nd place? If there was a better car than yours there, I didn't see it.

Really nice to meet a fellow TMSer.
(besides my brother ).

To the folks that haven't seen Jed's car in person; I can only say the pictures (great as they are) don't do it justice. Awesome, awesome car.

Enjoy!

Some cute girls at the show!




Sweet candy apple red!





Here's my Halloween card shot!



On the way home past Pt Mugu I tried to chase a F-14 Tomcat.

Cool thanks! A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. That's cool a family ride with a HEMI inside. Congrats.

Awesome pics Jed!

And my friend just bought a Charger (not the R/T version though)... Same color too! It's pretty decent... Especially if you have a family (definitely a lot of room in the back seat!). For a sedan, it's not too bad...

Leo, going back to SD on Saturday night (10/17 & 24), right?

If so, Oktoberfest at Alpine Village Friday night! Either 10/16 or 23 works for me.

Who else is in?

Sorry to hear about the problems Steve. Hope you get it taken care of asap.

I think most of us here advised you guys back when Ray attempted his to let a shop handle the pulley swap.. just saying.

I finally got around to fix my F-up on the Meziere ground wire. Back when I installed the warning buzzer, I accidentally cut the ground wire in 2 when I was trying to cut a wire loom next to the firewall.

At the time, I ended up using one of those blue splice clips. It works, but not a long term fix.

So yesterday, I soldered and heat shrinked the wire with the help of my bro-in-laws because of the crappy access. Now it's good to go!

  5. I was a Favre fan.
  6. Bill actually looked happy working on his car.

We need to stop looking back and start working on creating new memories.

Time for mods so you can keep up with a stock GT.
http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/10/d...368-hp-hemi-v/

"new-generation HEMI V8 in the R/T model that produces 368 horsepower and 395 lb-ft torque, up from 340 hp and 390 lb-ft"

Hopefully it wouldnt be that hard

Congrats, Jed! It sure sounds like it was a good gathering - small club gatherings are nice, aren't they? Thought the "Best Engine" was cool...
