Time for another Flips meet in Grapevine. Thursdays are $2 drink nights (beer only, if you are interested) we will be going over some of the stuff for the Statewide meet so if you have any questions this would be a good time to ask them. It should be fun so I hope to see a bunch of you there!

 

ill be there whether im in the rental or the 8(hopefully it will be the 8)

 

So anybody going? sounds like there is only 4 of us so far, riley, thejew, arlingtonrx8 and myself......

This will be a good time to go over some stuff for the state wide event if you have any questions.

 

ill try to get angela, Brian, and Kyle to go if they can. I believe Angie will still go even without Scarlet. Kyle in probably still gonna be in DC but its worth a shot. ill also hit up joe to see if he wants to go but I should be there!

 

Sounds good man!

 

Sorry, can't make it out this time. I have hockey tickets..

 

Ya know I swear I posted on this... but ugh.. like ya said.. i'll be there if this rain clears up.

 

ill still be in the rental still havent heard from my warranty if they are covering my transmission.

 

Alright guys whose all going??? do we have a list going? i dont want to head over there and noone's going to be there...

2. Thejew89 (Brian)- Rental
3. Arlingtonrx8- if no rain, right now looks good...
4. Seatownracer

7.

Me and my wife.

 

I'll be there I could definately go for some beer

 

omw

 

Hey Thomas, I noticed you (your wife) taking video on our way back to the 114 split... any of them entertaining enough to upload?

 

New shocks and springs are gonna be installed in about a week... Koni yellows with Tein's.... yum

 

Hot. Sell me a stock shock

 

Well I was planning to make a montage of the night... since I took some footage of Steve on the way up... but then when I got home I discovered that my wife had inadverently switched modes to Night Shot, so all of the stuff after was in infra red and I thought it looked horrible. I ended up deleting the whole set.

In other news, I bought a camera mount today (http://www.filmtools.com/gripper-302...mount.html)and I will def be taking more footage leading up to the state meet to try and decide the angles I want to capture. I've already learned some stuff since last night about what has worked and what hasn't. I'm hoping someone could put together another cruise in april so that I can get some practice with group footage.

If you really want to see the footage I can try and run some disk recovery software on my drive to get it back. Its not a big deal for me to do so, just let me know.

 

really Travis? you want me to sell them to ya bro? what's wrong with the ones you've got now, I mean ill sell them to ya but still pondering on why'd you'd need mine.

 

Heads up on that Travis... Brandon's AT stock shocks are not the same as MT stock shocks (unless the AT is the sport model, which I know Brandon's isn't).

Just something additional to think about.

 

ive still got all my stock struts sittin in my attic with the rest of my parts

 

Shut it Jew, i wanta make some money... And Creto... SHH you got a auto too....

Wait wait wait, The struts are the same i could swear... i dont remember reading anywhere (And im a 8/ rx8club forum *****) that the sport+GT models had different struts... Btw jew, do you still have your stock rims?

 

yep. suspension for the base-AT is different from base-MT and anything higher.

 

Damn, Idk how i missed that... I read a **** load too... hmm... o well, im gonna be on Koni Yellows and Tein's soon so idc... :PPPP

 

no i wish i still had them but, even if i did you wouldnt want them 1 was cracked. thats why i bought new wheels

 

well id take the 3 and find a new other one... their pretty amazing no lie... id powdercoat them black... whew my ride would look slick...
