L337fpc 03-28-2011 11:22 AM

Good deal oscar. U'll hear me 1mi before I arrive since ill have the race pipe back on...lol

Alucard 03-28-2011 07:21 PM

hmm.... I have no mods to do.. but up for a meet

REV-N-HIGH 03-28-2011 08:20 PM

what's up guys... how do these install meets work? I have Tokico springs to do?

Mike let me know, I'll follow you down.

L337fpc 03-28-2011 08:50 PM

spring/coilover install can take some time, when i did my suspension it took about 10 hours with a good break in the middle.

We have done exhausts, intake's, bracing, replaced body parts, seafoam'd...i think thats the grand total? Normally we spend 2-3 hours installing parts then cruise to the local sonic.

REV-N-HIGH 03-29-2011 05:24 AM

Thanks for the feedback! if weather permits I'll still take the ride to meet and greet, I'll pm for address.

BlueAngel 03-29-2011 03:52 PM

Hmmm, if I remember ill come n chill ;)
Mike remind me k .!!! Lol

L337fpc 03-29-2011 03:53 PM

gtfo, i'll believe it when i see your yellow fd

Alucard 03-29-2011 04:06 PM

wow.... I cant believe Ted is posting again... I will try to get him to go lol... he may be sleeping like all of the other meets he has missed though...

L337fpc 03-30-2011 06:46 AM

looks like friday am it will rain then have a 50% chance of showers in the evening

Chrishoky 03-30-2011 07:08 PM

L337fpc, pm me your address. I can be up to the install portion of the meet around 6pm. Put me down for you guys to check out the ticking in my engine bay. Otherwise Im there to help you guys install your stuff.

L337fpc 03-30-2011 07:24 PM

i just found out apparently there is a noreaster on its way...and it may not be out of here until saturday. but then again those weatherman have their heads up their asses anyway. I only have 2 bays though :(.

Chrishoky 03-30-2011 08:08 PM

I dont really need a bay, just hoping for some opinions whether or not my noise is a serious one or not. ie, should I take it to the dealer or not. Otherwise Im just there for you guys. Dont forget to PM me your address.

L337fpc 03-31-2011 06:11 AM

now it seems we are back to 50% chance of rain friday evening. fooking weather and your BS. Regardless, im still going to sonic, nothing will stop me from getting my rt44 grape slushi.

Chrishoky 04-01-2011 09:06 AM

So what are we thinking for tonights install meet? Canceled due to crap weather? Is anyone still hitting up sonic? Where do you usually meet up at the sonic? I have never been before..

L337fpc 04-01-2011 09:13 AM

psssh weather has never stopped me and it never will. dre is still coming over and ive got all my parts ready. I'll be done before dre, so I was going to have you pull in after i was done with my stuff.

BTW once everyone (yourself and dre) i was going to order some pizza. As far as sonic goes, normally get there between 8-9...all depends on how long the installs take.

Chrishoky 04-01-2011 09:52 AM

Sounds good, Ill head your way after work. Should get there around 6. Ill put in a few bucks for pizza as well. My names Chris, Ill see you tonight.

Alucard 04-01-2011 09:56 AM

hmmmm, as far as the weather is looking, IDK if I will be coming... If I do it will probably be without the 8...

if your interested tomorrow a bunch of us are getting together and doing some rolling shots...

Chrishoky 04-01-2011 09:59 AM

^That sounds cool Alucard, too bad Ill be working, be sure to post a link to the pics though.

Alucard 04-01-2011 10:49 AM

lepichichi 04-01-2011 11:16 AM

BlueAngel 04-02-2011 10:55 AM

I'm getting off at noon today .see u guys at mikey s place .

stinksause 04-08-2011 05:53 PM

I made it :D

L337fpc 04-08-2011 05:56 PM

Next friday ill be seafoaming and finishing my race prep for the car...including that beatrush trans brace. Yous are welcome to come by.

Chrishoky 04-08-2011 11:12 PM

Car went to the dealer today for my "ticking" problem and hard starting when hot. Kane (the tech guy) seems to think my engine is plenty strong and its not a compression issue, but Ill know more details Monday. They couldnt get to my car today.

Thanks to L337fpc and Stinksauce for there help and insight last Friday. I just ordered some Idemitsu Premix and I'm shopping around for an oil catch can. Im also looking into the BHR ignition kit, but I will have to save up some money for that one.. again thanks guys, very informative night.

lepichichi 04-09-2011 11:32 AM

^^ I had a ticking sound when my car was low in Oil, also check your belts.

Chrishoky 04-17-2011 10:10 PM

So my ticking was the SSV, replaced it but Im still having hard start problems when warm. Im looking into the new starter motor now, trying to determine if I have it or not..

L337fpc 04-17-2011 10:19 PM

Fucking ssv. Did caine and jorge help you out at north penn?

Chrishoky 04-17-2011 10:34 PM

Yea he was pretty helpful, but Im still kinda pissed that its still hard starting when hot. He assured me I didnt need a compression test since he thought the motor was strong. I hope he didnt just say that cuz he doesnt want to go through with the test, but for some reason I chose to believe him.

Francesco, do you know what a battery should be cranking at? Im trying to rule things out.. it seems my battery is cranking at about 390. Is that a good number? Could my battery be weak?

terch1 04-18-2011 11:00 AM

^ How is he determining your engine is strong without doing a compression test?

Chrishoky 04-18-2011 09:01 PM

Listening? Im not really sure, I would agree though that it feels strong. No power or other issues. Just ignition it seems.

socompro 04-29-2011 09:42 PM

IM IN ILL BE THERE AFTER WORK!! see you guys there around 7:30pm or 8
