Sept 14th - Green BEANS meet - Berlin, WI Options

[Bitter]

That's exactly how my friend got rid of a car they lost the title to. Sawzall that bitch in half because the duplicate title cost more than the car was worth since we'd pulled the engine/trans and some other parts off it. But as scrap steel it was worth enough that they'd come pick it up for free, but as a car they wanted like $100 to come get it without a title.

There's something very fun about cutting a car in half, really lets out a lot of frustrations...

I think it'd be better to do this:

Yay! A stripping party! I usually don't get invited to those! Anyway...

I'm excited the blue car is a coupe, that'll bode well for my vert collection.

I'll even bring my screw driver.

Is there anything else I should bring?! Dollar bills, a sawzall, cookies?!

I'm excited for this! Operation Green Beans, here we go!

wanted to add there will be a strip show going on as well....

No, I will not be taking off any clothes (unless you pay ) but I/we/you will be stripping the blue coupe or what's left of it for any parts you guys wanna buy(on the cheap) before I junk it. panels, wire, plugs, sensors, bolts, nuts etc. all must go. lowest prices around. all sales are final. no refunds.

Not to sound belittling, but there are two temp sensors if I recall correctly. One for the ECU, and one for the gauge. If not that then like CheeLa mentioned I'd look at wiring and grounding, then the gauge itself. It could also be air in the system causing it not to read.

I change both of them , the plugs to, and check the wire ,but nothing yet.

[CoolZeen]

up to now im in .been driving it to cruise and shows with my temperature gauge not working.im still working on it .I already change the sensor and the plug but nothing.

Hopefully you're not overheating. Wonder if it's a wiring issue then since you changed both the sensor and plug? Do you have your aftermarket guages hooked up? Is one of them a temp guage?

thank God it dont look like is overheating.I dont have a coolant temperature aftermarket gauge. I was thinking on getting one,but i dont want to cut the radiator holes to connect the sensor. Next thing I got to check is the needle of the stock gauge.

[CoolZeen]

if you think you can make it to my house too then bring it and we'll fix it there too!

I was thinking the same, but is to risky taking that chance driving them hours.If not ill go with the daily(His&Hers) that finally just repair the wheel beering , after 3 months is back rolling.

[Bitter]

Zeen, it may in fact be a faulty gauge, you should be able to check the resistance of the gauge temp sender at the gauge itself to verify it's getting a signal up there. It's not uncommon for older gauge clusters to have failing/failed capacitors which cause incorrect needle positions, if that's the case then replacing the worn part isn't too hard if you can solder and have taken apart clusters before. If you're not experienced then a use working cluster is a safe buy but may be on it's way out too since it's nearly as old (and swapping the speedo/odo isn't hard to do). Some places will repair your own cluster, like Southern Electronics but they're not particularly cheap.

yeah im swapping it with another one i have save, to check . I was hoping it was just the sensor, because i have my current one custom and with aftermarket white indiglow .And i did not wanted to go through the work of transffering everything

alright. sounds good. lemme know when it gets closer. and text me the day of if you are. I think you have my number right? if not, PM me.

[CoolZeen]

yeap , I got your #. With one or the other I will be there. the only thing that I can promise is that is going to be color red .

of course.

[cheela]

anything you guys think I should prep for you all before this weekend?
maybe take a read through my BEAMS thread and see what you could bring to help me? (probably skill and knowledge more than anything hahaha)

I'll have some food prepared. Should we try to meet up around noonish? I know Annette is planning to come the night before since she's got a longer drive. when do you all plan to get there? lemme know. I'll start up the grill early.

[Bitter]

I'm for sure out, water heater bill and new tires killed off fun money for a bit.

[CoolZeen]

im trying to see where can we meet ,( the chicago area peeps), to roll with annette when she pass by, so we can cruise together. Or who wants to cruise with me? I might be leaving around 3:30 to 4am from joliet .

Hit up Luke and see where you guys wanna meet up. I think Annette is coming up on Friday night per my last conversation with her. Anyone else you can think of or we missed. lemme know.

[Bitter]

Ha yeah. Not trying to sleep in my car for a couple nights lol. Next broken car meet...maybe Jake and Sammi GT4 repair meet?

[enderswift]

I havent thought through the logistics of sat morning. But at the moment the lakeforest oasis on 90 94 might be a good spot

I hope we don't need that but if so, we have a grill and we can have a fire and I can send you all home with an abundance of fire wood. I'm currently no use in the assist department as I wrecked my lower back!
The turbo SHOULD be back to us next week.
We upgraded in conjunction with the rebuild so...

*who will livestream the beans meet so we can be there via video?
