second of all, we need a garage for the next meet so we can help francesco out
(we can use the back of my house but there is not much space to park)

third of all, flpas720 has practice on thursdays and can't make it, so should we meet on a different day?



wait for the next sushi meet :) there will be at least 10 rx8's heading over to nj

when is the next sushi meet in NJ?

hey francesco how about we meet at the tst meet around your house?? the one they do every thursday, also I was thinking we can stop by failsafe's house before the meet and help him with his car.


No luck yet. ALLLMOST got it going last night. So freaking close. Doesn't want to get over the hump. I really think the plugs are completely shot. They looked horrendous even cleaned up and dried. Also, I think my battery is starting to wear down. Charles suggested not trying to deflood without a charger on the car as the starter is apparently very sensitive to the proper voltage.

I need to get ahold of a battery charger and then I'm just going to throw the new plugs in and give it another shot. I'm cautiously optimistic that it should do the trick *knock on wood*

Any time you guys want to stop by, of course, you're more than welcome.

If that doesn't work we can push it down the street and try to turn it on in 2nd gear.

^^ cool I'll let carlos and jose.
Hey dude can you find the address for the TST meet around your house, I figure we can meet with the rest of the crew there around 8pm, let me know so I can update the threat title.

L337fpc 05-05-2010 12:21 PM

I'd love to, but the new meet location has been under discussion for 2+ weeks now. Rumors are now about holding it at Hatfield Ice Rink...but nothing is confirmed yet.

lepichichi 05-05-2010 12:42 PM

^^ damn I guess we can meet at sonic again at 8pm and then we go from there

L337fpc 05-05-2010 01:12 PM

I just realized Iron Man 2 comes out Friday...which means...midnight showing thursday night. I'm going right to the warrington regal after the meet lol. Any1 wanna tag long?

lepichichi 05-05-2010 01:23 PM

^^ that sounds like a plan, I'll ask poky!

failsafe 05-05-2010 04:35 PM

Thursday 7 pm is good to go. PM me or hit up Francesco if you need my addy. I may see if I can pick up a charger today on the way home from work.

I may be down for Iron Man. I'll know more tomorrow night.

L337fpc 05-05-2010 08:29 PM

I'm nix'ing my iron man idea. I decided to get tickets for the friday 1am showing @ the imax in KOP.

Im still down for helpin u tomorrow.

SBD69 05-06-2010 06:04 AM

Hey guys ill come out tonight whereve u guys are just let me know whats going on

L337fpc 05-06-2010 09:19 AM

I know im going to failsafe's to get his shinka up and running. Right now the Thursday TST meet is still unorganized. When i find out what the new place it i'll let every1 know.

I say still meet at sonic in bensalem.

I also might be sporting a dual resonated midpipe, if fedex gets here on time.

lepichichi 05-06-2010 11:59 AM

^^ cool guys after deflooding pete's car we can meet at sonics on street rd around 830

failsafe 05-06-2010 12:35 PM

You sound pretty confident that we're gonna get this started in 1.5 hours =)

can someone bring a 1/2" drive torque wrench and a 15" extension bar if you have one? The 10" bar is like 2" too short to pull/put in plugs easily.

SBD69 05-06-2010 02:49 PM

Ill see you guys up there around 830 then fellas

L337fpc 05-09-2010 06:51 PM

How about a garage meet this week? 2 bays? I know failsafe needs to be de-carbed and I have that bracing that needs air tools to go in.

I can fire up the grill...anyone....anyone...Buehler...Buehler?

failsafe 05-10-2010 09:09 AM

Obviously, Im in. Lol. Still need to work out some of the kinks.

it's so nice being able to drive my freaking car again.

Hey Guys, Im new to this forum but I live in Jamison PA, about 25 mins from Bensalem. I have alot to learn about these cars and would love to be part of the install session...
