Sad to say that TriStateTuners will be going offline sometime around Oct. 15, 2024. After 20 years online, times have changed and its no secret that the forum's activity level has slowed to a crawl. Its been an incredible run with so many amazing friendships formed and community events held, plus all of the technical knowledge and entertainment shared online. I know I'm not the only one who has had both their personal and professional life impacted and improved significantly from this community, and I'm happy to have been a part of something so special. Thank you to so many people who volunteered to the community -- the entire moderating team, behind the scenes IT support, those who organized events, and everyone who contributed online to this unique local car community. I hope that many years after the prime of TST, many of you are still enjoying cars even if we are all "grown up" now. Please take the time to revisit your member journal and reminisce, or browse any other parts of the forum. Maybe reach out to an old friend or two and make plans to grab dinner and catch up. The timeline may change slightly but I wanted to get this notice up as quickly as possible to give everyone a bit of advance notice. Thanks for everything, TROLL

ScoobyNubieToo! Tri-State Post Whore Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Williamstown Member #862 My Ride: WRB 2004 WRX Wagon with 07 STI Trans and Longblock inside! iTrader: (7)	1997 Ford Escort:R.I.P (295,600 miles) Well, it finally happened today. I got a flashing CEL on my way to work today. When I went to run out this morning for a stop I was greated by the sound of piston slap as I tried to crank her. I had AAA flatbed it to my mechanic. My mechanic did a startup attempt with it on the flatbed and said "WHOA! Sounds like you'll be putting a new engine in!". So I had it towed back to my house where it will be dismantled for every part I can sell off of it! She served my well, though, so I really can't complain. 295,600 on the original engine and 180,000 on the current tranny. Yep, I got my money's worth outta her!
