Houston help each other out thread
#203
Hey, this is a slightly odd request for help, but bear with me. I'm trying to display VGA signals on my nav screen, and am having some issues getting the sync signal to be correct. Anyone have an oscilloscope I could borrow for an hour?

I'd suggest Best Collision Center, they did my fenders cheapish and were very good to me. Ask for Jesse, he helped me a lot.

I'll buy the beer and food for sure!
Can't wait to AX and get a track day with this car. Should be fun!!!
I just got a set of rims and Falken racing tires so look out! hahaha
Now I just need to get this suspension done and here comes the fun.

Just get some good street tires and an agressive alignment until you've got a few events under your belt.

You really should leave your car stock before you autocross it. The amount of mods you have on your car is inversely proportionate to the amount of room you leave yourself for error out on the track.

I bought this thing to put minimum mods on (enough for the BS class) but still be able to take to track days and enjoy.
Hope to see ya at the Houston event tonight. Gonna go eat some pizza and ruin by diet!

HERO, Heavymetal, and myself have all done our own suspensions (as well as others') if you still need help with the Konis & don't mind DIY. However, none of us have our own garages (curse you, apartments!). If you have a garage & tools, though, we'll be happy to help.
EDIT:
FYI you'll never see me at a Houston Rotary club event. I work graveyard shift Mon-Wed, therefore I'm never free to go. The local Houston RX-8 meets are generally on Thursdays, so I'll definately see you at those. They're so few & far between, though, I'm sure the next time I see you will be @ GGP next month.
