They are planning on the same next month, with a BBQ or something afterwards.
I will be attending your meet this Thursday...I'm having fun going to both groups. I won't be able to go on your cruise again, but am hoping to catch up on a cruise when you plan something for the Malibu runs. Those ariel shots were awsome. I vote for pic nnumber four, the lower right one.
See you guys Thursday.

Rasp: Did you do the "foglight rewire" so ou can roll with only your fogs on? If not, you can get the DIY from the search here or i can show you or even do it for you tommorow. Its a 5 minute thing and it would look friggin awsome if you had it with the HID fogs

Yes, it helps to stack the numbers by having 7's and 8's attend, but it still is pretty cool to follow a line of 14 other RX's. I was having fun watching the expression on people's faces as the group went passed them. Don't get to enjoy that part by cruising at night....
On another issue, I had a big box from Racing Beat sitting at my door today when I got home from work...too bad I couldn't find a muffler place to complete the swap for me tonight...so I guess I'll have to wait till the weekend.

oh right...about that, here is the problem with that.
For some reason if the foglights are on before I start the car, they will shut off during cranking and not come back on unless I flip the switch off/on again. I think the ballast can't handle the drop in voltage during cranking. If you could show me where the main wiring for the fogs are, I can install a relay on the circuit that will turn them off while cranking. That would turn them off rather then letting them run at a lower voltage when starting. That should fix the problem... did that make any sense?

It does. But, I dont turn on my fogs before I start the car anyway...you could try just getting in the habbit of switching them on after starting the car...I donno, just a suggestion. If you want I can show you where the relay is for the fogs. You could tap into that with a secondary relay and run the balasts off the secondary. (Amazing how things make sence in your head and when you write them out it sounds completely jumbled)
