Re: Fantonworks Meet Summer 2017 - Norfolk, VA

Sean,

Yes this is a go! I know SVXit has confirmed. There may be a few others? I am planning to leave Fairfax, VA at 7:30 am. summer traffic is going to be a pain on 95, so the earlier we can leave the better. We could meet up for lunch at noon:

Pierces Pitt BBQ
447 East Rochambeau
Williamsburg, Virginia 23188

Then head down to Fantomworks, it's about a 45 miles from Fantomworks.

One of my rear hard brake lines just blew out this morning, so right now it is not drivable. I have to decide if I still want to make the trip considering I would have to take my boring daily driver.

Re: Fantonworks Meet Summer 2017 - Norfolk, VA

That's a bummer! I am so sorry to hear about this. Hopefully you are ok and the line didn't break while you were on the road.

I wish i could lend some advice, but i have yet to deal with this particularly issue. Any chance it could be up and running by the end of the week?

If the car is not driveable by then and you still decide, to go, let me know if you're interested in a set of Goodridge SS lines. I bought some for my car, but there is so much rust at the connection points that I wasn't able to install them. I'll have to replace the brackets where the rubber lines and metal lines meet up, so I can't use them right now. If you're in need, we can work something out. In any event, I'll be there.

I have decided to use Friday to run new brake lines, so I won't be joining you. (Unfortunately). I already have a set of braided stainless soft lines that I am going to install, but thanks for the offer. The big job will be running new L & R rear hard lines hopefully I can get through it

The wise choice usually isn't the most fun. Bummed that you can't make it, but I get it. Best of luck and hope you get that svx back on the road soon!
