for those of you who are lowered; any ideas on how to make it easier to get in the driveway?

I'm on Koni's + S-techs and I've NEVER scraped but apprently this is an issue for some???

2x4's? plywood ramp?? thoughts? I should be there early on Saturday so I can help out with the driveway if it's truly going to be an issue. Speak up though, let me know what you guys think will work.

i've never been to neptune speed, but 2x4s will work if much angling isn't required. i use 2x4s to get up places that have too high a curb to get up to. if it's the slope of the driveway we might need a ramp. (or a gripload of 2x4s)

i guess it's a good thing i'll still have my kit off. lol

there shouldn't be any problems with scraping if angled all the way up and down the driveway. i've done so with my 8 there many many times and my car was LOWWWWWWWWWW

haha i seriously was thinking how come sam never complained... i guess some people must not know how to angle then...lol

well, there you have it! Sam had one of the lowest 8's I've seen and he had no issues.

Just as your father must have told you on your wedding night, "go in slow and at an angle".

lazi

haha yup, you guys won't have a problem as long as you guys angle all the way and properly. no problems here, and you guys should be fine. i might drop by to say wsup =)

I was on two wheels last time I tried to get up there, and the rear diff was giving me fits. My car isn't even that low.

don't forget the lug nuts..

yep i remember now.. very important people.
we have people driving from a far.
check those lugs

ha ha ha... you and Jedi are funny. Your deaf, that's why you didn't hear you scrapping.

Kidding.


OK I checked it out on Sat. and I scrapped. not much but a little and I was almost parallel.

Heres the trick. Go past Neptunes going South on Beach then come back on Gothard going North.

You can't cross the street and get into the lot.

Two by 4's will work. Don't ask me about my cat because that likes to scrap too, but that harder to hear.

I'm two fingers above a bic lighter.

RRR is willing to do a dyno for 4 or 5 people on Sunday. No tunning, just runs on a dynotech.

So, for those that still want to join post here.

it should since this thing is dedicated to having both you and Jeff there.

lazi

like i said.... if you can't angle fully and know "how" to properly then you will scrape like a noob you are. j/k

slavearm

Bah... tell you what... I will let you drive my car up into the parking lot, and after you stall it for the fifth time, I will jump in the drivers seat let you instruct me on proper ricemobile angle techniques then we will call each other noobs, and hug it out like little bitches.

Razz: please make a seperate thread for Sunday's Dyno Day. I will post a link to it on the 1st post.

I do not want people getting mixed up and this thread is specific to Saturday's events with MM and CRH.

thanks

CRH can get some for us at a great price, but lets get an idea of who needs a set.
Post here if you're interested

gregs: removing you from list. Hope you get it all sorted out.

gregs

iTrader: (7)

thats correct if they let me off the hook with a couple hundred bucks and a slap on the hand im good to go, i guess ill update on the 15th

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

CRAP! I just took you off the list and PM'd megaman about filling in for you.
don't worry, show up on the 26th and we'll get it taken care of somehow.

imrtommy

i wanna dyno from mazdamaniac if scott cant make it..... i got type 1 mazsport....

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

Megaman called 'dibs' on Greg's spot but we'll see what we can do for you as we get closer to the event.

NgoRX8

iTrader: (1)

this thing is getting packed.

Jedi54

iTrader: (7)

YEAH it is!!!

I need everyone to do me a favor:
- Please post whether you will require tuning on the 26th via a Mazdamaniac purchased AccessPort.

I am giving thought to doing non-AP cars first so we'll have a little more time for AP guys later in the day.
I'll update the first post and once I have that info, I will assign an order.


***Keep in mind***
The idea behind having a dyno order is so that you do NOT have to be there ALL day. You can simply be there around you 'scheduled' time and come and go as you please.
