Another great cruz, alot of nice cars out today like the elise and ford gt. I'm still working on the video, hopefully it will be up tommorrow. Hope more people show up for the next cruz.

 

Here are someof my pics. I had a blast today as usual. Hope everyone had as much fun as I did

Rasp: I just got ur PM now. I didnt know u wanted to come!

 

The video is done but i'm having trouble uploading it. Nemesis8 said he would host it but when I try to email it to him It always fails cause the files too big. Its 11min long.. Im going to try streetfire and see if that works.

 

posted my pics up in the mulitmedia section so that more would get to enjoy them....and to hopefully drum up more interest in our meet..

Xped...maybe you could link the video on that thread...or maybe start another thread with the same title as mine but indicate Video (to distinguish it from my "pics" thread)...

I got this idea from Trigger. I finally realized that my pics get lost in huge threads and the only one's who enjoy them are those that attended. I noticed that many people were asking Trigger to post more pics, amny of which I posted a couple days prior, but no one knew to look through the OC club meet site in the West Region...anyways, enough from me...hope you like the pics


on another note..what happened Micahel, thought you were coming out?

 

sorry guys wanted to go, but oldest sister had operation on her back that morning so i was at the hospital. did you guys set a date for the next one that i'm hoping should not be a problem...

 

No date yet...I know I won't be available for the Saturdays of 7/16 or 7/23.

Alright, next mod is rims, help me decide at

Go with the volks!

 

Xped, just tried your link but it gave me an error indicator. I'll try it later and see if it was just bad timing on my part.

Addictive, any idea on your part of the video...or does Xped have both memory cards? Xped, you have both memory cards? Were you able to edit both together, or did you just edit parts of yours? (I'm referring to your post about the video being 11 minutes in length)...

 

The video link doesn't work right now cause the host im using is upgrading his server, it should be back up tonight around 9.

As far as the malibu cruz video, I only edited my tape. I'm meeting up dan hopfully soon to get his tape, he wanted to see the video... Once I get it ill edit it together. I'm still trying to upload the video of the cruz but it always fails cause its too big. Ill figure something out...

 

make CD's...but we definately need to get this up. Check my Malibu thread because I posted a link to the Big Bear run I did with San Bernardino group..may give you some ideas to help figure this thing out...plus, its fun to see how they editted things...

The first file is probably the best, but they all are fun to watch...

 

great run guys, i had a blast. the pictures came out great. can't wait for the next meet hopefully more people will show.

ken

 

so.. i was bored at work :p

 

Finally got the video uploaded after reducing the video quality down alot and shortening it to 7 min long. The other video was alot better but this will have to do for now untill I can get the better one uploaded.

BTW you guys wanna have the next meet on July 9th?

 

hmmm if it's July 9th I may be able to go.

 

Xped....unbelievable job on the video. My heart was pumping in my chest during the portion that slowed with the music...unbelievable. Hey, would it be ok to put that link on the pic thread that I started...I can just imagine the number of views that will get there though. Don't know if that is an issue for your sight. I would love to revise the title of my thread to "now includes 7 minute video".....if so, let me know.

 

checked out the video yet Krazie?

 

Thanks, thats cool if you post the link on your pic thread. I still can't get the better video uploaded, oh well...

btw do any one of you guys know how to install springs or have a spring compressor? Just bought Racing Beat spring and want to install them my self, maybe someone can help me out?

 

pm fanman...he had a guy that may be able to give you a good price. In the valley near you I believe....

 

yessir, very nice.

 

xped...watched the video six times now Like it better every time. Any news on the longer version, or Addictive's footage?

Third Saturday of July would be the 16th? This the next meet? The first Saturday of the month is SoCal RX meets, and the second Saturday is my San Bernardino meet....so I wouldn't be able to make a meeting on the 9th...but then again, I won't be able to make a meet on the 16th...so please (I'm being serious)...don't schedule this on my schedule...I'll definately catch up with you guys in August.

 

Thanks, as for addictive's footage I still havn't gotten it yet. He seems like his really busy with work or is on vacation.

I installed the rb springs myself and wow, perfect drop. Can't wait to test em out on the next cruz.

 

Installed yourself? Wow, that is impressive. And I thought installed the MS kit myself was impressive. So, were you able to find a spring compressor, or did you rent one? Any other changes along with the springs...did you change out shocks (or do we have struts)?

I talked to others that have done it and they have said that the rears are the most difficult because the rear doesn't drop far enough to be an easy swap. Did you experience the same thing with your install..Fronts easy, rears more difficult?

I have seen the RB spring drop in person, but Razz1 has 18's with stock tires. I'm interested to see how it looks on your staggered 19's. Any issue with the rear fender...any rubbing yet...you gonna need to roll the fenders?

Razz1 also has the RB sway bars and highly recommends them as well. He does a lot of track and autocross type stuff with his car and really likes the way the car handles with those additions...maybe something to consider for your next mod. Take full advantage of the performance side of our curve huggin 8's.

 

I have the RB springs with 19" too. the back is just about perfect. The front is still high. I really like the RB Sways, they really helped my transitions in hard cornering. About the only thing left to do is install the rear MS strut/shock bar, and I'm deciding if I should do the Koni's, but it might be a bit extreme for me. I would rather have an everyday driver, then a fire breathing track car that drives too stiff for the LA freeways.
