The pics from the older meets were all done by my g/f so not sure on those... her camera is point and shoot but she does mess with the settings she's able to occasionally.

The pics from the newer meet I honestly dont remember exactly. I typically use the AV setting and let it take care of the exposure. ISO was probably around 200 at f5.6. Uploaded to flickr without any editing so all that has been done is the resize by flickr.

 

I am coming up on the factory service interval on the timing belt wondering if any of you guys could give me a hand with that on Friday? Any takers?

 

Yeah man, no problem. We can knock that out when we adjust your valves.

 

Bah hahahahahahhahahahahhah

 

So I guess that means you are in Grunge?

 

ummm Friday is Christmas day dude... sorry

 

Hey.... i think i threw a rod tonight... so when you do your timing belt i will fix that and maybe even replace my 4 barrel holley

 

Well, as long as you guys have time to help me install the cam and the roller rockers that's cool.

 

sounds like an intense mod day....when is this goin down?

 

YesterdAY~!

 

Opened some **** up today! Didn't even realize my dad got me the dipstick light too!! Bonus! Also met up with a spolierless dude thanks to Tbk that is gonna swap me trunks!

 

since I've got some money now I'm thinking I might try to order plugs and coils before I spend it on something else... anyone up for that sometime after the break?

 

yeah man we can knock it out quick like. Check out www.sparkplugs.com, I think there is an additional discount for club members. You gonna get the BHR kit?

 

which is better? The set NGK on sparkplugs.com or rotaryfx.com? They're basically the same price

edit: nvm... just noticed the part numbers... same product lol.

 

Meh, I got my NGK's from Advance Autoparts locally. I thought sparkplugs.com was like $65.00?

Edit:

the Code: rx8ngk is for a 10% discount. Not really that great of a deal. I think I paid around $80.00 or so but ask tbk, he just bought some at advance not too long ago.

 

Just ordered my plugs and coils last night and they shipped this morning. Do we have any plans for a meet sometime? Unless my car starts acting up I'm not really in a hurry.

 

I have some stuff (actually a **** load) to do as well, we can probably get something going.

 

Just checked the tracking number and it apparently came in today... I didn't think the stuff would get in till monday. So I'm up for a meet whenever now lol. Any upcoming weekends good for anyone?

 

A certain someone (ahem, tbk) got his coilovers and is aching to install them. They look sweet.


I have a ton of **** to install. I have to work sat morning for a bit but if Grunge is down, I'm down.

 

What What Saturday? I will try but I leave next week and It may be a bit hard to convince the women.

 

So that's who texted me a pic of coilovers... that can be a bit of a long process but definitely doable in one day. The only reason we had issues when I helped someone in houston was cause there was an issue with one of the lugs either being too tight or crossthreaded (I seem to be bad luck if bolts/nuts etc are involved).

I'm up for whenever, I'll free up some time for whenever we decide on.

 

ffffffuuuuuuuu i hate not having free time i wanna do this install already!!!

 

Hey we are trying to do a meet on Sunday...

Coilovers are easier because you can measure and assemble everything prior to the install and the its just a matter of installing them (not messing with a spring compressor, etc.) then after the install you just fine tune the ride height.

 

this saturday is a NOGO for me..... got to much family stuff going on... but next saturday.....
