How do you like it?

Mr_Pieper

I like the overall sound. I have a whistling sort of raspy sound. I think it is coming from around the donut gasket. I had some problems getting it over the end of the pipe. Also gonna try using the factory springs on those bolts because the BHR ones are shorter and may be maxed out. Something doesn't sound totally right. Oh well. Taking it apart in the morning.

Also, I pulled my rear bumper off and cut out the fake mesh in favor of some real stuff. It was surprisingly easy. Only an hour out of my day.

Cole33

Can you bring your own brett?

Haha look at Cole all worried about the booze. LOL

I always thought about doing that with the mesh just never have.

Mr_Pieper

It looks great except I don't like the faded red bit sticking down for the tow hook. I may take the bumper back off and paint it black.

Adam, did you get your vacuum issue worked out? I stumbled across the trouble shooting thread and it looked promising.

Cole33

Haha Hey, it's a baseball game, I am going to need some form of entertainment!

Yea I got it figured out. I switched a vacuum line when I put it all back together. So it was the electrical contacts but i put it back together wrong so i was getting no vacuum.

Cole I understand what you mean. What do you think about meeting at hooters to eat before the game? We can all show up and park together then.

Cole33

I'm down for that. Which Hooter's? I'm not sure exactly where GCS is.

We can just meet at the downtown location.

Cole33

That's easy enough for me. And it is the day after I move in. haha

Mr_Pieper

Glad you got it worked out. The most simple answer is usually the right one. Little stuff like that has gotten me a couple of times over the years.

Mr_Pieper

I was gonna suggest going to The Tilted Kilt. I went to the one in St. Charles on Tuesday before a concert and the uniforms were amazing. Turns out that is the only one left in the area. The one in Arnold closed. Hooters it is.

Cole dont know hadnt really thought about people bringing there own. So ill say yes and if someone bitches then ill just hook ya up from the bar

Cole33

Works for me Brett. I just know my friends are cheap college kids. haha

Mr_Pieper

Damn college kids. Ruining it for everybody.

perks11

Cole we were all broke college kids. Doesn't get much better after just graduating either. Lol hate college loans. But yea I'll make sure and take care of everyone, I'll try and get everyone with me a suite upstairs for the game, with beer and everything.

Cole33

I'm in for that. I don't care either way, I'm just getting info to pass on to the friends. A sweet would be pretty tight though! That would trump a Hooter's meet for sure. lol

Hey guys so for this meet on the 30th im thinking of making a list of all things we will need and have people let me know what they will bring. Ill mark things off as we go. For some of the more expensive things ill see if a few people would want to throw in for stuff. Would whoever is coming from the 8club pitch in for a main thing like burgers, hot dogs or brats or just let me know if you could all bring one of those things. I reserved the pavillion and that was 25 but im gonna get charchol also.

Let me know what you guys want to do or if you have a better idea for how to do it. I think were gonna be around 30 cars for sure so probably double what the last meet was. That means quite a bit of food. Im just trying to make this as good an event as possible. Thanks for the help guys.

Cole33

Okay, I can bring something but I don't have the brainpower to think of what I want to bring.

Mr_Pieper

Is it September 30th you speak of?

I have a business membership at Sam's Club. You can get huge packages of Johnsonville Brats along with hot dogs and other stuff fairly cheap. A pool and a shopping trip may work well.

That would be best. Im thinking if i can get like 10 people to throw in 5 dollars each we will be good as far as meat goes. If you guys want i can collect 5 from each of you when i see you and we can get it taken care of that morning of the cruise. Tim i live near you so we could swing by on the morning of the cruise.

Ill try and have other for sure people bring buns/chips/ or other items.

Mr_Pieper

Sounds like a good plan. We can get plates and buns and other stuff, too. Although adding too many people to the equation makes everything way more complicated.

Anyway, it sounds like fun. Can't wait to meet everybody.

Cole33

That sounds good to me. And that should be plenty of meat I would think.

Mr_Pieper

It's a regular sausage fest.

Cole33

Giving the car one last good shine before I go back to school today and looking into my steering a little more today.
