Werd, plus it will probably be more of the ideal temp around then also.

[Matt95GT]

Yea... I'm not a fan of balls-hot summer junkyard runs.

[cavingchick]

[GregFarz78]

End of October sounds good got wedding and vacation in the beginning of the month. I might hit the one in KoP in sept see if I can find some more IDI covers for cheap

[iceman]

How about Oct 20th?? junkyard + camping trip

[Big Joe]

^ I'm in

[ga5speed02]

SOLD

well can we make it the weeked before or after? Joe and i get paid on those weekends.

[Big Joe]

I was at Harry's yesterday. There was alot of 5th Gens there. But it was a completely different group of cars. None of the 5th gen that were there last time were left anymore. There were even a bunch of different 4th gens. I wanted to go back to a white gt that i remembered from last time but it was gone. There was 2 fiero's there Seth. Doubt they'll still be around by the time we go back.

[Nitr0Racing21]

I'll meet you guys there is you give me a day and time you go in advance so I can take off from work.

Edit: I need a fenders to a 98 GT(white) and a front bumper and a rear spoiler and rear folding seats the are tan not black and I think that is all the ands I am able to put in a sentence and thanks in advances

[RickHigginsHtbr]

weren't too many 5th gen's there, maybe 5 or 6. i snagged the brakes off the only GT there too (finally).

[PontiacGA]

Missed another JY run to harry's? Dang. :( I need to get back up there soon, even though I dont need anything...:lol: I like to look around.

Have you guys tried Harry's in Pennsburg or Allentown?

They rotate stock pretty fast, but not that fast. I'd estimate quarterly, back when I was a yard rat and used to go at least once a month on the way home from college.

In other words, I think I'm gonna skip the October trip in favor of either a mod day and/or camping.

[RickHigginsHtbr]

i dunno, by the looks of things, we may have caught the end of the last cycle, almost everything was ripped to shreds.... wonder if they would tell us if we called.

[ga5speed02]

you you can come along on this trip, jusy leave your face at home

[ga5speed02]

is the 20th a definite? i vote 13th or 27th. just caus eits pay weekend for joe and i

[RickHigginsHtbr]

I say we move it to the Pennsbury Harry's. From what I heard there were atleast a dozen 5th gen's and roughly 6 4th gen's there as of this morning, mostly untouched.

[GregFarz78]

I wouldn't mind checking out pennsbury its a lot closer but I'm down for whatever if you guys want to hit hazelton again thats fine too.

I vote any weekend but the 6th and 13th

[ga5speed02]

well the dates are getting closer, so lets figure it out.

yea my boy went to pensberg said its loaded with GAs

[iceman]

my vote sticks w/ october 20th

[Big Joe]

^ me 2

[PontiacGA]

Hmmm...maybe.

[PontiacGA]

I should be able to pop up and say 'yo!' on the 20th. You guys just meet up there?

[Nitr0Racing21]

I just need a week and a half in advanced :D,

Jay

[RickHigginsHtbr]

yea, what are our plans for this? grab a hotel + a keg the night before or what? it's reasonably close to my house, but not so much for matt and seth... unless, matt, your rents live in allentown, right?

[GregFarz78]

joe/seth/matt/whatever you guys are welcome to crash fri night its not too far from my house either 17 miles :)

[Big Joe]

Not to sure what I'm going to do this time around. Your house is actually farther then the yard itself for me I think. But it dose make it simpler meeting up with you guys first. SO I donno what I will do.

[GregFarz78]

looks like a nice yard

:lol: ok yeah guess its not that much different but I'm not making the trip at 2 in the morning again. Cops with laser and nothing to do at night on the Jersey Turnpike :nervous: Plus I was pretty tired the rest of the next day due to my 4 hours of sleep. Paul might be shooting down from Boston so I might ride with him or vice versa. We'll see what happens.

[Big Joe]

I'd personally rather go back to Hazleton, but if everyone else wants to check out Pennsburg then so be it. Anyone ever think of hitting up both? Saturday for one and Sunday the other

We could stay at Gregs Friday Hit up Pennsburg, then proceed to Matts place, stay there saturday and hit up Hazleton Sunday. If that would be ok with Matt and his parents of course.

[Bouchie11982]

hey guys could you please get me a driver side window control thing for a 4 door....pleeeease. and i'll get it when i see y'all at ATCO??

[Matt95GT]

3rd weekend in October would still be best for me. I don't really care which yard.

Me and Seth thought of an interesting concept... hit the yard on sat, then in the evening chill at a campsite. Hickory run state park (where I frequently go) is only 30 min from Hazleton. Just checked... all the good sites are still open that weekend, which means showers. Not sure how much that appeals to everyone, but I'd love to drive right there (shorter than drive back to my parents), grab a quick shower, and cook some hot dogs and brats around a campfire. Just an idea... the site is on me, and I have more than enough gear to fit everyone.

[GregFarz78]

Joe hazelton closes early on sun I think and I remember how beat we were last time on sunday

Yup... tent sites, drive car right into site. (car camping)

This is the kinda action I'm talking about...

http://www.fazeshift.org/pics/albums/userpics/08-13-04/normal_DCP05470.JPG

Like I said... I have tons of equipment (tents, stove, grill, cookware, tarps, lanterns, etc) All everyone would need is a sleeping bag.

[Big Joe]

As long as theres showers there I'm definitly down for camping.

On the web site it says saturday and sunday hours are 8-4 winter and summer

[iceman]

[19grandamgt99]

Im in for the whole thing. I also have some camping stuff.

[Matt95GT]

Yeah thats cool. Just didn't want to go to a junk yard then not shower for a day :lol:

[PontiacGT201]

hey guys if you can, see if you can find a set of those 94 ga tower covers like Joe has. I dont have any good junk yards near me so Im out of luck. thanks.

oh and do you have the website for the hazelton and pennsburg yards?

[RickHigginsHtbr]

www.wegotused.com

and i'm leaving it up to Joe, I was with him and didn't even know he grabbed them :lol:

You closer to Harry's then I am. And your by far closer then Paul who comes down from Boston. So I don't want to hear anything about "I don't have good yards around me."

You gotta be stealth young danielson

[PontiacGT201]

lol ok so I do have good yards near me.

[Nitr0Racing21]

so whats the deal?

[Matt95GT]

Ok... so everyone seems to be down with the Hazleton yard + camping plan. Anyone care to speak up if they don't like that plan?

If not, I will make the camp site reservation.

[iceman]

do it

[GregFarz78]

So its hazelton now? Should probably get there early its going to be packed thats $65 engine week...wish I had a pickup truck

yea you should just go

[Matt95GT]

Originally posted by GregFarz78

No, it won't be any different than usual. The sales to avoid... the $20 admission and all parts are $1 days... that's when it's packed.

[RickHigginsHtbr]

They just had $22 Engines like 3 weeks ago so, shouldnt be too bad.

[GregFarz78]

wonder how much they want for a engine block + head would be cool if I could find a junked vq35/vg30 pulling an entire engine would probably take half the day though

[Matt95GT]

Originally posted by GregFarz78

You're not going to find anything that new... if you do, won't be worth taking. A good VQ would surely go to Kress (their auto recycling parts biz) before ending up in the yards.

[Big Joe]

Could always roll up wing bowl style in the Budget truck.......

4 and 6 cylinder engine blocks are 42 bucks and heads cost 30 bucks......Not that I have a price list here or anything.

[GregFarz78]

Def want to hit up the import section this time

[cavingman]

<will be there
i just wanna find an ion of any trim, or anything with an ecotec for that matter :)

[Big Joe]

Yeah I'm always looking for a nice piece of trim. I call dips on the red head...........

[RickHigginsHtbr]

x2, no luck so far.

[GregFarz78]

a good ecotec probably gets pulled I don't remember any last time

[Matt95GT]

*bump*

I have 2 camp sites reserved now... will give us more space and they can't bust our balls for having more than the limit of 5 people per site. Also helps for parking situation... I would recommend people carpool when possible for 2 reasons:
1. Your call will not be clean afterwards... it is guaranteed to be filled with pieces of leaves/twigs and the roads are dirt/gravel.
2. One car per site is included... it's $3 per extra car, otherwise gotta use the "extra car parking" spots nearby. Yes, they actually do check if you paid. (If I can find one of my old "extra car pass" forms, I might have a ghetto-solution)

Overview map of whole park (http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/hickoryrun/hickoryrun_mini.pdf)
Hickory Run state park general site (http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/hickoryrun.aspx)

We have sites 077 and 124, which are back-to-back. Unfortunately the baller/huge sites (like 94) are taken, and so are my other frequent ones. But, we're still closest to the 'nicest' bathroom, the 2 sites are open to each other, and all the surrounding sites are vacant right now.

I'll post more info, directions, etc next week.

[RickHigginsHtbr]

sweet, are there grilles there or no? Still have not christened my Hummer Grille :)

[Matt95GT]

sweet, are there grilles there or no? Still have not christened my Hummer Grille :)

There's a fire ring with integrated grill rack, but it's not something I usually use. I always bring my small grill and camp stove.
http://www.fazeshift.org/pics/albums/userpics/08-13-04/normal_DCP05471.JPG
As you can see, that one doesn't look so great, but they have all been replaced since then.

Otherwise, each site has a picnic table, and pole w/ hook (I use for hanging lantern)... that's about it.

[RickHigginsHtbr]

[cavingman]

yea we have a small one as well. can rock like 7 or 8 burgers at once i think.

[Big Joe]

After this past weekend I'm not 100% sure I'm going to make it. I still think I can and probably will but theres a chance I might not be able to go.... :( I really want to come cause I am in need of a few parts that I was going to work on over the winter.

[iceman]

Weak on so many levels. If you don't come expect to be ridiculed for months to come

[Big Joe]

Hey whatever, If I don't cause its not cause I didn't want to.

[cavingman]

dont bitch out on us joe!

[19grandamgt99]

Hey sorry guys its probly my fault Joe can't go. I had some things go on at my house and dont think I can make it. Im pretty pissed about the whole thing but if i go then there will def be no Atco for me.

[GregFarz78]

So what is the plan for sat morning what time? are you guys driving from jersey sat morning? could meet up with you on the turnpike

[Matt95GT]

I actually took off Friday to get some stuff done, so I will be at my parents Friday. Need to do food shopping for camping at some point too. I was thinking everyone crash there... much closer to Hazleton and that diner on the way. Timewise... I don't care... I don't have much on my "to get" list.

Trying to get a rough headcount... am I missing anyone?

Coming
1-2. Matt & Casey
3. Seth
4. Greg
5. Brendan
6. Rick

Maybe's
7. Mike
8. Joe
9. Paul

Camping only
10. Evan (Matt's brother)

[GregFarz78]

I might crash fri night there it is much closer not sure yet though I'm trying to get rid of this cold first

[ga5speed02]

Matt, I am a maybe now.. My funds are short and I need to get my car back together for ATCO. I rather hang with all of you there
i spent to much at Johns birthday party weekend

[Matt95GT]

^Meh... so just come along to help/hang out in the junkyard... only $2 if you don't buy anything. The camp sites are on me.

[Ralph]

hey do you think there would be any 3rd gen 5 speeds there. I just broke a tranny mount and having a hard time finding one.

[ga5speed02]

^Meh... so just come along to help/hang out in the junkyard... only $2 if you don't buy anything. The camp sites are on me.

maybe i can tag a long with rick and split gas or something.

But i need to see whats up with my car. still no fenders and i have to make new mount for the hinge that mount to the brackets on the hood side

[Matt95GT]

hey do you think there would be any 3rd gen 5 speeds there. I just broke a tranny mount and having a hard time finding one.

If there are any (doubtful), there'd have to be 2 in order for you to get one. Sorry, I got dibs. ;)

maybe i can tag a long with rick and split gas or something.


Yea, do that.

[Ralph]

lol sounds like its a common problem then matt

[Matt95GT]

Mine isn't completely broken, but the rubber in the mount has seen better days. Actually if I can find one, once I fill it with poly and swap with the one on the car, you can have the other. Although... I haven't cross-referenced the Getrag vs Isuzu mounts... could be different. Never seen a Getrag 3rd-gen in a yard, ever. (well, except my old 94 when it was towed there)

[Ralph]

yea I got a bolt stuck in mine it seems to be seized there and doesn't want to come out. I ordered an insert from Autozone but its a special order thing and taking a while.

[Big Joe]

Matt I am a definite now. Sorry I told Seth about it last night but I guess I should have posted about it in here as well. Ill be showing up sometime Friday night with the Honda hotness. Leaving my house around 6. Mapquest says its a 2 hour drive but god knows what it will be with traffic so pencil me in for anywhere between 8 and 10.

[iceman]

Yo Matt.. you being off Friday works out for me, was wonderin when we'd take care of food and shit. I'll head up to your mom's when I get up Friday, whenever that may be...


got a grill, grillin stuff, tent, sleepin bag, fireworks, and vodka.

[Big Joe]

got a grill, grillin stuff, tent, sleepin bag, fireworks, and vodka.

Theres only a few things that one could say that when that said person says it everyone else knows right then and there that they about to have an awesome time.

Well Seth just said it.

[RickHigginsHtbr]

fireworks and vodka.... sounds like a great night.

[GregFarz78]

Matt you have off friday? I could come up early too and beat the rush hour traffic, any good stores up there to grab a sleeping bag?

[Matt95GT]

Nice. So you're coming directly to my parents, right? I'll PM everyone the address/directions tonight.

Well Seth just it.

Werd.

fireworks and vodka.... sounds like a great night.

As much of a fan as I am of that, not a good idea at a state park. Fireworks... no go there... trees in the way. Alcohol isn't allowed... so gotta pre-mix your drinks (E.g., vodka + 20oz 7up) or fill an empty soda/juice container with hard stuff of choice to mix with whatever. (in the past... generic Sprite 2L = vodka, apple juice = captain, root beer = captain tattoo, etc) No beer... too obvious. Plan on park rangers dropping by at least once... they have every time I've been with a group of 4 or more.

Matt you have off friday? I could come up early too and beat the rush hour traffic, any good stores up there to grab a sleeping bag?

Yea, I took off. Mod/repair day in the morning/afternoon at my parents, think we'll make a quick food shopping run when Seth gets there.

Hmm, there's the usual sporting good chains (Dicks, etc) or I'll see if the Army/Navy store my brother works at has them in stock.

[Matt95GT]

Proposed itinerary:
Fri 10/19

Sat 10/20
8:00~8:30am wake up, get on the road
9:00~9:30am diesel breakfast @ awesome old diner near Jim Thorpe
~10:00am arrive at Harry's Hazleton
4:00pm leave Harry's (or sooner if everyone wants) and head to Hickory Run state park
~4:45pm arrive @ Hickory camp sites

Things you absolutely need:
1. Shoes or boots (closed toe... for the junkyard)
2. Sleeping bag, pillow (and blanket or camp pad recommended for under bag)
3. Warm clothing... I'm bringing thermals 'just in case' ...may hit 40 degrees at night.
4. Sandals for the camp showers (ask me about my mystery fungus story sometime)
5. Baggies for all food/toothpaste/deoderant/etc... must be sealed and put in cars at night. There is a bear problem at Hickory Run.
6. Flashlight (I don't have enough for everyone)

[GregFarz78]

Nice seth let me know what time you'll be heading up to matts maybe I can follow you up the turnpike I'm sure you won't be up till at least 2pm anyway

[RickHigginsHtbr]

In short, I skipped wearing sandals there once. 2 days later I had this black stuff growing under each of my toenails... took a few months and various fungi creams to get rid of it. Won't make that mistake again.

how far are you from the croc rock matt?

Across the town. What time is the show over? Reason I ask... I don't want to be up all that late if we're getting up early. Also, if you guys do want to crash after, please call when you're on your way so I know... and please keep quiet when you arrive. In other words, don't wake my parents up at 2am or I won't be able to have everyone crash there next time ;)

[Matt95GT]

Things you absolutely need:
1. Shoes or boots (closed toe... for the junkyard)
2. Sleeping bag, pillow (and blanket or camp pad recommended for under bag)
3. Warm clothing... I'm bringing thermals 'just in case' ...may hit 40 degrees at night.
4. Sandals for the camp showers (ask me about my mystery fungus story sometime)
5. Baggies for all food/toothpaste/deoderant/etc... must be sealed and put in cars at night. There is a bear problem at Hickory Run.
6. Flashlight (I don't have enough for everyone)

We'll convoy from my parents to Harry's in the morning, but in case anyone gets split off from the group heading for the camp grounds...
-Get on I-81 North
-From I-81 N, take I-80 EAST exit
-From I-80, take exit 274 for PA-534 EAST
-Once on 534 E, you'll pass some golf places, houses, etc. Eventually you'll come to a stop sign, you can only go a real hard left or hard right. Make a left, to continue on rt 534.
-This road goes for a long time. (rt 534) Along the way, you'll pass the Hickory Run main office. Keep going on the twisty road. Eventually you'll see some access roads and hiking trails.
-Look for a small wooden sign that says "camping -->". Make a right into the campground entrance. Just go past the office booth, guests don't need to 'check in.' Continue straight on the camp road (past the store).
-You'll pass three site coves on your left. After the 3rd, look for an old brown bathroom building next to the main road. There's actually an entrance next to it, make a left and go in there. Site 77 will be on your left a few hundred feet in.

[Matt95GT]

For anyone coming camping later (not from Harry's)

From the PA turnpike Northeast Ext.(476):

-The exit is the second north from the Lehigh Valley, 1 from Mahoning Valley. It is the exit right after the rest area going up the mountain. (I think the exit is called "Mt. Pocono") You'll see signs for the I-80 junction.

-After the toll booth, there's a light. (by Arby's) Make a right, onto rt 940. You'll be passing through the woods for a few miles.

-Make a left at the old gas station on the corner, onto rt 534. Now you'll pass truck stops and over I-80. Continue on this road. (you'll pass some golf places, houses, etc.)

-Eventually you'll come to a stop sign, you can only go a real hard left or hard right. Make a left, to continue on rt 534.

It got done last night at the electric factory around 11:30ish so we should be there well before 2.

[nineteen88ga]

I spoke to Joe last night and another thing to add to the day if you have time...only about 10 min N on I-81 is a pretty big car show @ Luzerne County College (exit 164)Typically its over at around 3-4pm. Check out www.droptoberfest.com for details.

I wish I could make it to the meet, but I'll be at the car show in the AM then working from noon-10.

anyone see where my red husky socket set ended up?

[ga5speed02]

no sorry seth :(

[cavingman]

anyone see where my red husky socket set ended up?

last i saw them were in that truck with the dookie inside...

[Big Joe]

anyone see where my red husky socket set ended up?

Humm, I know we had it when we finished pulling the 3400 apart. What else did you use them on. Wasn't floating around your back pack was it?

[iceman]

Got me, not sure where it is. I know it was around after we tore off the heads because someone used it back by the 99 Mike tore up. Not sure where they ended up tho.. definitely not in the nox, I had to empty it out before I returned it today

[Matt95GT]

I could swear they were in the pull-cart. I don't know where they were used last... wasn't watching when we were back by that red 99 that Mike dash-raped. I was using my small screwdriver/nutdriver set the whole time. I'll have to check my parents garage.

[iceman]

yaeh, I'm not sure, coz I took all my stuff out and whoever was last brought the cart down. Probably still sitting on that big ass old blue car

[ga5speed02]

. wasn't watching when we were back by that red 99 that Mike dash-raped. .


Greg helped, and Seth with the wheel :)



last i saw them was at the black gt where you got the heads. all i used was the 13mm that i gave back to you after you yanked the steering wheel off the red gt.

[RickHigginsHtbr]

i know i saw it in the cart when i ran up to steal a ratchet off of mike to rip that sway bar off...

[Big Joe]

Mike, check your tool bag I remember that all Seths tools that were left in the cart we shoved in your bag for the time being. Maybe they never made it out of your bag.....Just remembered that now.

[ga5speed02]

yea i gave him all of them. i don't believe the whole set is in there, but i will double check tomorrow :)

[iceman]

hey Mike I got your msg thanks for looking... who knows where that set ended up, if not @ Matt's Mom's, it's time to go tool shopping

p.s. phone calls before 5pm are a nono :lol:

[Big Joe]

Well on the bright side you get to go tool shopping.

[ga5speed02]

oh ok, sorry man. didnt know. Black Friday is right around the corner :D

[Matt95GT]

Checked the garage... couldn't find it, unless you really buried it somewhere.

[RickHigginsHtbr]

Seth, if it makes you feel any better, I found my camera in that puddle behind the GT we raped.

[iceman]

hehe, it's no problem. that set was a birthday gift when i was like 20, not a big deal.. gonna get one of those craftsman ones with the big labels so my blindass can see them
