Possible Monthly install meets. Bay Area-Fremont

Is your friend the one I met with the gen4?

 

I’d love to FaceTime call and say hi to everyone.

 

I’ve got your cell phone number.

We could make that happen.

 

I'm not sure. He's a tall skinny guy who resembles Groot from the Guardians movies.

 

Can’t join this time due to my father’s surgery. Next time maybe lol

 

Definitely! SOMEBODY’S got to supervise you kids!

 

We’ll let you supervise only if we kids get to drive the Beemer next time .

 

Hey all,

I'm still considering driving up Friday night so I can be there on Saturday. Raytheeagle: Would like to know whether you have the spare cooler, valve, and pipe still available for a swap? I'll need to pick up a pcv valve, and intake manifold gasket before hand and I assume some carb cleaner, anything else? Also, if we are able to complete the swap I'm assuming you'll want my old one based on some prior comments, If so, anything I can provide to help you clean it? Also - any specific tools I should bring? Thanks appreciate it.

 

I have a cleaned cooler and valve ready to go.

I only want your cooler and valve we pull off in return .

No tools required but I’d also bring 2 gallons of the SLLC as we could pool that job with the cooler work.

PM with the address will come later today.

 

I'll be there! Is it ok to do an oil change and transmission fluid change? If there's time, but an oil catch can?

I can bring tools, jack, and jack stands. Should I bring an oil pan or will there already be one?

 

I’ve got the tools covered .

Oil change and trans axle fluid drain and fill it is.

See you tomorrow around 10.

 

Another successful meet up finished today.

Thanks to @Pedal Logic for hosting.

@Friendlyx was there like @The Critic and I for the social aspects and to lend a helping hand.

@edspecR with his son and the addition of sound deadening material. Repurposed works well.

@Pedal Logic and Gen3 friend with oil changes and tire inspection which showed the need to replace as a belt was showing. Then we did the brake flush on @Pedal Logic ’s Prius.

@gifuboiler with an oil change and trans axle fluid drain and fill .

@mrjeff was the winner for biggest job. We did the egr circuit stem to stern and changed spark plugs .

Always good to work together and share a BBQ lunch with all the fine vegetables and sides.

Looking forward to the next one.

 

Saved a prius and saved a life. People have died due to tire blow out roll over from tread tearing up on highways.

 

We definitely covered our bases this round.

Your orange hand cleaner made the trip too.

 

Especially enjoyed both the group and the pot luck. We all appreciated @Raytheeagle emceeing the event and lending his insight and help, especially for the egr on @mrjeff 's Prius (who is our longest distance attendee, fyi).

A personal thank you also to @The Critic for flushing the brake fluid and lubricating the brake pins on my Prius while I grilled. @The Critic also helped at least a half dozen people at different times. Between @The Critic and @Raytheeagle it was the most knowledgeable event yet.

 

I'm glad I made the trip and it was great meeting everyone. Thank you @Pedal Logic for allowing my car at your home, @Raytheeagle for dedicating a very generous amount of time on my vehicle, - I can't say thank you enough - @The Critic for all of your help and everyone else for welcoming me into your group. The drive back here was completely uneventful and I learned a lot. I hope with time that one day I can complete tasks as quickly and confidently as you all can.

 

How was your mpg on the way home?

Hope there was a gain.

Nice to meet you yesterday .

 

I had a great time meeting everyone yesterday! Thank you all for your contributions to the meet-up!

 

What did everyone work on at the last meet up?

 

See post #572 for the details.

Was a productive day
