Miami FAST Meet Recap

SYO237

SyTy Registry
As always, big thanks to Gary Shanock for hosting the meet and opening his house/garage to everyone. Also thanks to Dan, Jeff and Jaci who helped prep and cook the food...there wasnt leftovers.

Quite a few things got accomplished this year including:

- Fuel pump swap on Gary's Sy utilizing his lift to remove the bed. Best way to do a pump, EVER.

- Prop shaft loops installed on Gary's Sy and my Sy after some slight fitment modifications with the plasma cutter by neighbor Glenn

- Diagnosing that the Mandi's raspberry Sy was only running 5 injectors. Decided that since Dan had 65# injectors waiting to go in, we would take his stockers, put them in Mandi's Sy and then get Dan's truck running on Code59. So had a dual injector swap going on at the same time on 2 trucks. Mandi's truck also got an alternator swap.....and yes, Mandi worked on her own truck and Dans the entire time and got dirty without hesitation.

- DaveP installed and wired up the temp sensor display in his overhead console on his 93 Ty.

- Randy got some major tuning done on his truck only to have Ian and Mandi romp his ass on the street ;)

- I got some quick tuning done while doing circles around cops on the highway. Alex realized very quickly that I treat the road like my own personal race track and I my truck has only 2 modes. 0% throttle and 100% throttle.


Some highlites include:

- DaveP and Quinnster (now given the name "California") showing up from Cali. That's a 2000+ mile trip just to come hang out.

- Jeff Moneta and his buddy Adam came down from PA to hang out.

- Alex the cuban killer himself showing up and flexing his Code59 and suave truck wrenching skills....only to later on realize that in order to fly out of the country, you must have an updated VISA after leaving for the airpot and retuning shortly after being denied to board.

- It only takes 1 piece of porcelin from a spark plug to shatter a window.

- Audi S6's have some weird ass vac line setup shit that can easily be mangled if you run over something

- The only good use for a 92 Typhoon other than crushing it is to take a permanent marker to it and make it your art board

- The Pro Street Syclone showed up. Work of art and by far probably one of the cleanest well built Syclones out there.

- When you borrow your mom's Jag, you can do burnouts in it you previously thought impossible

No video = no proof I was there!

Don't let a redneck borrow your laptop! They start renaming and moving the scalars/tables in $59 just to mess with you!

Bring ALL your tools with you INSIDE the junkyard.

There is never enough beer.

If you want to get Harmon to work, get him a couple shots of Cuban coffee.

I can't believe that the entire time I was at Gary's house, the only cuban food I had was the coffee and pasteles I brought Sat. morning.

The 'Mandi Candy' Syclone put up strong resistance to running properly, but it ultimately lost to the combined power of FAST (and others).

"Dude...cop...cop..cop..COP! - RIGHT NEXT TO US!" (or something like that - we'll have to go to the replay to find out)

Danny drives his truck 'angry'. After about 10 minutes driving around with Harmon, they both show up at the house. Brakes literally smoking, power steering pump growling, tranny leaking.

In Randy's defense, he has still to get beyond 55% TPS in his truck! But ultimately, you got to hit it to git it!

"If you would like to make a call, please hang up and try your call again":tup:

Thank you for everything Gary! Thank you to all the guys that had their hands under my hood, drove me to auto parts stores and brought me Dunkin! I can not express how lucky I feel to have such awesome friends around me.

"You're place is with Mandi working on the trucks, my place is at home taking care of the kids" priceless! Florence is one of a kind!

People in Miami are nuts! They should not be allowed to drive!

Concrete is very comfortable after a Saturday at Gary's house.

My new lucky number is 6.

Danny can go 0 to pissed in 1.2 seconds

Distributor caps are VERY picky

Thats all for now. Again, thank you to all of you for the help!

RAZZY aka the raspberry syclone has acquired her own name, SKITTLES!

Re: Miami FAST Meet Recap

Had a great time. Nice to meet everyone. Gary is a great host and thanks again to him for his hospitality. My car wanted to be difficult a lot of the weekend (and was) but in the end it still got us there and back....even though we had to use the donut on the way back to Jacksonville. Thanks to all that helped me out trying to figure out what the line that does nothing was even though we are still not totally sure...LOL!

Thanks to everyone for making this such a fun event. I cant wait till the next one.

Here is Danny with his ty at the end of it all.
