so did the konis come in yet we can all get together and it should be done in no time and maybe ill finally get to meet some of the members on here as i can never seem to make it to the meets.

 

Update:
Found a willing friend with a garage, tools, and a desire to work on cars...
...however, he doesn't have jack stands or spring compressors...

 

use the power of man instead of a spring compressor!

 

rnt for a 50 dollar fully refundable deposit from autozone. it does make it alot easier

 

Koni's are in! I am free on Sunday all day. I have a guy coming in from TN to buy my RennTech Smart car on Saturday. I also have a Pregressive Tech front sway bar should we get bored.

If anyone/everyone is in; I will rent the coil compressor from Autozone on Saturday for Sunday's use.

Let me know if anyone is in. I am located on the NW side of town off the beltway and Tanner (north of I-10) but south of 290.

Later!

 

Would love to get them done this weekend as Tx World Speedway is having an open track day next Friday!

 

we should get a group out there!

 

I have a neighbor that de-badges all his cars. He did his porsche a while back perfectly and I asked him the trick. Dental floss he said!

Take a hair dryer (or let your car sit outside on a hot Tx day for a few hours) to heat up the emblem. Then rake dental floss between the logo and the vehicle. It cuts right through the adhesive back without scratching the paint.

Then use goo-b-gone to get off the rest of the stick stuff.
Wash, buff, wax!

 

i meant for track day, but yeah i debadged mine perfectly, just savin up for filling in the holes

i can help with that

 

Well it is finally done! I have reserved GSS for a track day on August 22nd.

The cost is going to be 3350 to include track, insurance, & ambulance.
Gonna limit it to about 20 cars as we don't want to much traffic.
Cost will be 250.00 per person.
If we get more participants then I will refund cash to everyone.
If we get less than expected/ bring cash or your checkbook.

No bitchin' about the price if you have to pony up more and I won't complain if I have to refund some back!

Rules are:
1. No alcohol
2. Must have SA2000 or newer helmet (on your head!) FYI: motorcycle helmets won't work!
3. Nomex if you are in a race car.
4. Long pants (no nylon workout pants) such as cotton or jeans for people driving street legal cars.
5. No passengers are allowed unless you are a licensed instructor. (insurance stipulation)
FYI: If you want to show someone the fastest line; have them do a "lead and follow" at 60% full speed to be safe.

We have the track from 9am-5pm
Gate opens at 8am.
Mandatory Drivers meeting at 8:45 am
Gate closes at 6pm.


Some of the buildings were lost in the hurricane but they do have port-a-potties.
I suggest bringing some tailgating popup tents for shade and coolers with tons of water, etc.

For all you diehard Rotary fans; there will be rods and pistons on the track!
A few Porsche's, a Mini Cooper S, Shelby GT500, etc have already signed up!

Fill this out if you want to come have some fun!

i have a month to get a spare 250 dollars! and why is the price variable? oh and thanks!

 

hey donnie idk if ill be able to come out to help ... sory but just moved and ALOT of **** to do but if you need any more help or pointers call me plus youll have a whole team i think so u should be good.

 

on second thought gf might be going to the rents house for a few hours so maybe i can make it. around what time is everyone coming

 

Taking the parts to my buddies house in Pearland and we are gonna knock it all out today. He is a gear head and the mechanic on for my 24hr Lemons team.

Thanks anyway!!!!

 

Good question about the price. It will vary b/c I am forking out the 3350.00 to get it going. Then getting paid back from everyone.

If only 10 people register; then the price goes up to $335.00/person.
If 20 register; it becomes 167.50/person.

or some fractional amount as above.
Hope that make sense.

If I am the only one to register (shouldn't happen as there are 6 registered already), then I get a track day for $3350.00 with lots of room to drive and very little traffic! hahaha

 

i wish i could go, but my synchros are so messed up i wouldnt be able to push myself at all T_T

 

Got all my parts put on yesterday!
Thanks for those offering to help but Scott P. and I knocked it out.
