Flyrtle 5.0 - West Palm Beach , FL September 19-20, 2009

[JazRedGT]

Flyrtle was awesome! Great to meet you guys. I was hoping for some runs but oh well. Caravan leaving 6am tomorrow morning.

Just got home and it feels like the engine is going to die soon. I found out on the turnpike i kinda lost a bit of power, smth like a sticking caliper type of feeling but when i was in Tampa sitting on a light, i heard the ticking was coming from my car. I made it home tho, thats what counts and will look at it tomorrow. Hopefully its a TBTA causing it as it appears to tick from there otherwise, HELLO #7

check the compression Rigs! It kidna was ticking the whole time, so maybe its just in your head and the manual boost controller playing games...

Nice to hang out with everyone and awesome to see new faces! Quite the busy two days for FFV, great turn out, lots of fun. I'm spent.....

Well I'm back.

I did the exploding 5th-gear transmission mod on the way back. Now I haz 4 gears, and 1st and 2nd grind, 3rd does sometimes. But I do have one really good gear left so that's okay.

I sprayed the dry 50 shot on the way there and grenaded my transmission @ 120-ish in 5th......so no more fun buttons in 5th gear, which is retarded because while spraying on a bolt-on DE with a 50 shot it probably doesn't make much more power than a bolt-on N/A ZE and I've seen guys bury their speedometers with N/A ZE's.

I missed the party , I went out to downtown and got faced, started with a couple long islands....ended with about roughly equivalent to half a bottle of various types of Hennessey. The room finally quit spinning around at about 10am. Felt it ALL day today up to about 3 or 4pm. Apparently, according to Cornbread, South Florida is still weaksauce.

I brought the Ciocc and Squid ran off with it. That was interesting to watch.

I shot a LOT of video which will be posted soon. Still going through it all. Andy made +300 wheel on 5 cylinders. Impressive. I have never seen a single Probe meet ever in the history of meets, even Myrtle 9 and 10, that had so many parts casualties.....I think if you subtracted all the good parts from the cars that broke shit and put them all together you could have a complete running PGT.

i just got home, i left there at 530~ and had to be to work at vero at 7. i went straight there and got there right on time. oh well today was lots of fun, i met lots of people(i was the kid in the red shirt and black shorts with the white protege) and look forward to next year.

Thanks to everyone who came out, the turn out was great, and we ended up with 12 Turbo KLs parked in a row before it was over.

Everything went smoothly from the dyno day to the party to the big meet today and it turned out to be the biggest Flyrtle yet.

For all the people with pictures, I set up an FTP for you to upload them to. There's folders for Pics and Videos. Or, just make a folder with your screenname and upload everything there. I'll sift thru all the pictures and pic a good selection to use for the website. I never have time to take pictures myself, so I rely on everyone else to get meet pics.

Once you upload stuff, send me a PM and I'll confirm I got them. There's no limit on the file sizes so upload all the pics/videos you have form the meet.

Once again, thanks to everyone who came out, especially those that traveled a great distance. I was really impressed with a lot of the out of state cars, especially blaster3500 and z284life, those are a couple really clean cars. Not to mention Mardarati's record breaking timing belt change at the dyno under a tent in the rain.

awesome time, i was completely beat by the end of Sunday, but well worth the time. met alot of awesome people and got to see the mechanical skills of some trying to get everything together. most notable was jordan's MS troubleshooting and MS repairs skills and Mardarati's tent covered parkinglot timing belt madness

aside from andy, if anyone needs copies of my pics you can download the hi-res versions here: http://www.getdropbox.com/gallery/15...yrtle?h=33bd34

Since your bamboo lodge is about 10ft from my room I'll just grab the panda pics when I get home.
