robert- thanks for the advice. I think you're right. I want to get it together, but I just don't want to waste mine or anyone else's time. I'm sure you know the feeling!
Dog- sent you a PM

Guys - happy to pass along my advice from what I've been thru organizing the Michiana dinner GTG's. Basically people will say they want to GTG but unless someone picks a date/location it remains just talk. Looks like you guys are on the right track here - hard part is establishing the tradition, after that it becomes much easier. Keep up the good work and it'll come together soon enough! :)

Ok scrap the idea of the 28th. I personally don't have anything planed for that day other then a Truck show in KY.
About the brew I have 8 3/4" valves a 12V transfer pump, metering tubes, Lucky 11 scale and a few other things. I would consider donating because I don't have the proper place to do it.

OK FOLKS, Here it is:

Sunday, April 13th, 4pm
Buffalo Wild Wings
SPEEDWAY (#3063)*
6135 West 25th Street
Speedway, IN 46224


Please post if you can make it, or send me a PM if you have any questions. Let's just call it a meet & greet with dinner, conversation and networking. Hopefully that gives everyone enough notice. If we get some folks that want to come out, we'll look at making it a tradition!

You may be thinking of GMARK's April 19 GTG but that is in Columbus, not Cincinnati unless the Cinci group is also having a GTG on the same date?

I have to give major thanks to DCell for picking up the ball I dropped. Got distracted with a complete kitchen remodel and other stuff. But I'm excited about the number of responses. I can't wait to meet you all!

thanks

One topic I wish to discuss at the meeting is the creation of a CO-OP Biodiesel production setup. I've been in the process of collecting used oil and testing the making of BioD in small batches. So far so good, but in order to ramp up the scale requires an increase in space and financial investment.

I'm hoping maybe there would be someone with some rural space that might be interested in hosting the "still" and those interested help run it. With the cost of DinoD up over $4 makes it tough on my budget. But more on this at the meeting.

thanks

There have been a couple of post about doing something like that, I for one would like to see it discussed in more detail.

My decision to go BioD was based on some forum discussions about the TDI not providing enough heat to pre-heat the veggie oil. And another consideration was that I wasn't to keen on the idea of having to use my trunk space to house a secondary tank, drill holes in the bodywork, and possible mechanical issues that might arise.

I didn't want to change the blog name as it would break the link if anyone had booked marked it previously.

Hello, I'm a tdi newbie. Hopefully, you Indy folks will be able to point me to a mechanic that can change a timing belt on an 04 Jetta. I currently have 72k miles so have some time to shop. I live in South Bend and work in Indy so it would be better to find a shop where I could just drop the car in the morning and pick it up later in the day. Thanks in advance.

There's a couple of possible places.

One is Pete's Service Center http://www.petesservicecenter.repair.bz/
I haven't used them but did call to see if they service TDI's and they do.

The other is Westfield Automotive 896-9999. Again, I haven't used them but I called them and asked some questions and they were very friendly and offered some great information!


Hope that helps

Great to hear.

This is our first meeting so it will be kind of a meet and greet. I am sure the subject of BioD will be discussed as there are a number of us who want to know more.

I'm glad I was trolling around the forum tonight and found this. A gtg sounds great; count me and SO in.
