hey,
im new to this and wanted to look where a meet might be. however my evo is in the shop with a destroyed 2nd gear. Any idea how long it will be before another meet? where are these meets usually located? Any ever in wexford? Anyone ever go to the car show on fridays at the church in wexford?

i was up at starlight a couple of times this past summer.
it's cool, but gets a little boring because it seems to be mostly the same group of muscle cars that show up every week.
feel free to come on down with or without the evo though. it will be a good time either way.
as far as another meet, not sure really? most likely not until the weather gets a bit warmer, but hell, i am down to meet whenever.
like TheGame said, we usually meet down the waterfront because it seems to be the middle ground for most people and obviously has a ton of unused parking lot space. it doesn't hurt that it is where Dave and Busters is either.

Hey, got a question, would anyone be willing to help me put on an 02 housing and turbo-back on Saturday? I'm so sick of it being in my basement. I don't have a garage and I am willing to pay in any case of beer or bottle of liquor (under $50)of choice. Thanks.
Edit: If saturday is not an option, i'm good for Sunday as well...sort of wanted to get it on before the meet, but oh well.

I always like wrenching on cars, but unfortunately I work on Saturday and I don't have my own garage either.
Do yourself a favor though, whenever you do plan to put the O2 housing on, I would buy a couple extra gaskets, bolts, studs, and nuts. Let me know if you get in a jam or need anything because I do have a bunch of extra studs and bolts. Chances of extracting the original studs are slim to none.
The best advice I can offer is to spray all of the rusted bolts and O2 Sensor with PB Blaster like 1-2 days before you go to install it. Trust me, it makes life a lot easier. A little burning PB on the exhaust manifold doesn't smell too bad! And the last thing - That O2 Sensor will come out. It is by far the biggest pain in the *** on the whole job.

Thanks dude. The only reason I'm trying to get it done this weekend is because i'm off fri, sat, and sun. Normally, I only ever have Sunday off and i'm usually busy. I'll definitely keep you in mind though if no one can do it this weekend. Where abouts do you live?

Gotta give ya some small advice though man, as I think this would be a prime moment to do this upgrade, there is an alternate method that was shared by Travman , but here is my advice take it for what its worth.
The way that I would go about swapping your O2 housing would be to pull the whole manifold/ turbo/ O2 housing assembly off the car as one complete unit.
Changing the O2 on the car is virtually impossible. So that being said this would be a prime time to do a ported manifold with your combo.
I have taken either the stock and or 30R turbo assembly's off of my car no less than 6 times already due to different reasons some just for $hits and giggles to make sure everything was all good. I tried once to do different tasks trying to keep the assembly in the car and it is extremely difficult. The assembly comes out quick and is very easy to work on outside the car.
Now the downside to this approach.
1. You need to drain down fluids , oil / coolant
2. You need to buy new fluids oil/ coolant
3. And just incase you need a new oil return line gasket for at the oil pan
Just something to think about
