    OK, as promised here is the thread to post up on: stuff to do, build help, events, parts for sale and all other things that relate to our region. Visitors and neighboring state GRMers are always welcome.

    Please, if what you have to say doesn't relate to something positive for Ohio GRMers, don't bother posting it here.

    EX-ohio GRMer here, currently in Pittsburgh

    I really do miss running up to Mid-oh from where I lived (Lewis Center, north c-bus)

    Did Speeds ever re-open? Planning a trip back at some point to see some old sights, maybe take the GF to a race at Mid-Oh

    sorry i couldnt make it last night, i was fighting my blazer doing a tuneup, mixing up 1+3 wires wondering why i had a miss, dealing with crap xact brand plug wires, cursing gm engineers for putting #3 plug right behind the steering shaft etc...

    think i got it right now with new fuel filter and leaving the battery disconnected all night and letting the computer relearn the idle.

    parting out a 96 blazer too, because people are afraid to pay 800 for a clean texas truck with 190k that runs smooth as silk. hello zq8 sway bars and vortec engine for the sonoma.

    Yeah, I never made it either. My wife is sick and said I could go anyway but... Well I didn't.

    Maybe next time. We do seem to have an inordinately high ratio of members here.

    Been posted on GRM before but ECTA coming to Wilmington is some of the best GRM-type news I've heard in years.

    I'm just west of Dayton so Wilmington is just an hour or so away!

    I have some misc. EG Civic parts that I need to get rid of. I will get an inventory but if someone wants to stop by you can have the the lot for free.

    As a DIYer, my view is fear nothing and try anything.

    Well I am on my way to pick the Yota up from Carkid, he checked out, fronted the $ and drove it home for me. Only in GRM land would this happen.

    Thanks Kevin

    What way are you headed back to the "Compound near the Curve"? If you head down Route 2 or the Turnpike you are just miles from my house. It would be interesting to see this wagon.

    Turnpike, with trailer, they rape you for that E36 M3.

    No John, 71 to 30, sorry. Trying to beat snow.

    Glad you got it,

    I posted some wheels for sale in the classifieds. If any of you are interested hit me up; I bought a set of BBS E30s for my rabbit so my wife thinks I should sell something else, lol.
