Hey guys, Im going to be back on Monday the 20th. I have numerous parts that I need to get installed like the Racing Beat Screens, fog lights, and CF accents (accents arent too hard). I also have wheels that im getting done around next Wednesday. Anyways, I wanted to get all of it done before school starts so I was thinking we could maybe have an install party, that is if other people have other stuff they want to install, that was closer to my house so my parents would let me go. Heck, even though I dont have tools, it could be at my house. Anyone down?
Cya guys next week at BJ's,
BigRed

 

Want to sell me your OEM tires after you get the new RIMMMSSS

 

Im either going to use them as autocross tires or get a set of track tires and use the OEM ones daily. not sure yet...

 

I had my own install party last weekend with the addition of the REVi Intake, this weekend will be the ram air duct for it. I think the weekend after that I'll do unorthodox pulleys (haven't heard anything bad about them - anyone local have them???)

If I don't make it to BJs this week I'm kicking my own ***.

 

I'd be down for one...

 

It can only be at my place if someone has tools. I also have to clear it with the rents first...

 

Anymore people down for the party?

 

Check out the Racing Beat install. It goes very quickly once yo get the front off.

Im down for the party

 

Did you guys get together yet? You still planning one of these?

 

I have not heard any update yet !?!

 

You ordered those red 194's yet? Turns out I need one for the rear fog light as well, trying to figure out the best place to get them. I am really curious what they'll look like on the VR, let me know if you find out before me.

 

Im finished with installing, i was too impatient. Ill come support though. Regarding the leds, go to vleds.com . They are LED 194 refractors. http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/prod...products_id=44 . That should do it. I am very happy with the blue ones as you know. Also, tell me what you want to get from the site....

Thanks for the site, I will get back to you on the rpmstore.com, I glanced at it a few days ago and could either go with brake pads that I need but am too lazy to do myself, or research a little and pour extra money in to get something I really want that the gift card just won't even come close to covering, you know? I won't forget, though. :-)

 

whats up with the pic of the rims on?????

 

i need to clean the car first

 

And as soon as you want to let go of those springs let me know

 

haha, thats when i get coilovers!

 

Hey Alex, how much lower is your car with those springs on it? I want to drop mine about 2in in the front and about 1.5 in the back.

 

^I am not sure about the exact height lowering number but I can tell you its one of the lowest sets of springs. There is a look to the H&Rs that is different because its makes the front look much lower than the rear. In any case, I bet you could find the numbers somewhere. I do have to go slow on speed bumps.

 

If yer gonna buy LEDs from V-Leds. i recommend these: http://frickinbrite.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=40_63

The others all seem to die on me.

 

its 1.7 front and .7 for the back - sprint makes a 2.0 front and back but thats way too low none of the other sets go low enought in the front i checked them all - so hurry up and get the coilovers dammitt...lol

 

Thanks, order completed (except that the confirmation number page gave me a fatal error website instead...we'll see how that works out). Okay, so Alex, they're on their way. What next? I got some for my rear fog light if you want to help me wire that, too. Maybe we can discuss it at the next meeting...oh wait, I'll be at BOTD. Sucka! Just kidding...here's what that site, by the way.

That looks like a lot of fun! Well, the week after I will be racing on a 3.1 mile track!!!!! SUCKA! Yours is more socially fun, mine well lets just say a no speed limit one, you know? Anyways, I cant help with anything electrical. I spaz out and dont touch anything electrically related, wiring and stuff. Id recommend getting Racing Beat Springs because they are decently priced and its sounds like they dont sacrifice performance with having a little taller ride height without having to go as slow over speed bumps as i do.

 

no ones up for an install party? i still dont need it anymore but it would be fun...
