Ehh.. flex is a long drive. Maybe something right in Detroit somewhere. But I'd drive down there if it came to it. Or maybe stoney creek like xceedspeed's spring meet. That place is nice. Later

Huy, tell me more about the cheaper Teins and Tonikos please! Any time frame when they are expected out and so on.

As for a 7th generation meet. I think we need a civic meet. All our danged black civics look the same, need some variation I think. I am sure I could get the del sol guys from unleaded racing to come. We just need a meeting spot. I am not going to wait for a Friday meeting spot either. I am on the hunt for a place to use now. We know we got Flexivity any day of the week so that is the place I am thinking. The redline meets are getting gaye at Star Southfield. There is no freaking light there. It is just there is noway that them people will make the drive downriver. They expect everyone to make their drive though.

Ok, I just sent an e-mail to Jeff asking if we could use the lot again this year. I also asked him if he wanted to set up a big car or Civic meet on a weekend during business hours. That way they might do soem business too.

good idea bobby. flex seems to be a good place since its easy to find and its out in the open. also theres fast food places near by if someone wants a bite to eat. or maybe even some actual resturaunts like red robin or something.

I am sure I won't be dropping my car this year. Too many other companies coing out with stuff so I will wait and see what theirs cost. I think I am going to get a short shifter, CD player, Amp, and sub or subs. I think I want just one 12" instead of one 10". I also just talked to NX about a nitrous kit but I have way too much research do to on this before I decide on getting one.


What kind of pool table did you go with? I could of probably gotten you one for a good price from Ball and Cue. And I know a guy that deals with all the local bars for bar tables.

the stock exhaust is sitting on top of my garage (storage area) i took that thing off my car the first week i got my car so it's like brand new
as for the install its to cold to do anykind off work like that out in the cold, so if you want to pick up the exhaust thats fine with me what about the mid pipe is it going to bolt up to the stock pipeing

Hey all. This is a show at my university put on by our club. There will be upwards of 2500 peope there. This takes place during Ferris Fest. There will be a couple R&B groups there on the main stage (about 100 yards from the car show site), last year we had 112 and Jagged Edge.. not released who we have this year (hurd rumors of Clipse and Ashanti sp? and maybe Lil' Bow wow) We will have a sound comp the day of for 5 dollar entry. Full venders (will give names when full list is together) Dodge will have a SRT-4 on hand. Live DJ's all day long at the car show. 50/50 raffel, door prizes and more. About a 2 and a half 3 hour drive from D town. The concert is free to all also. Hope to see you some of you guys out there, should be a damn good time. Let me know if you have questions. Later all

wat do you mean if the mid pipe is going to bolt up? i bought stock downpipe and cat, so it should bolt right up to it and everything. if you're talking about my exhaust, i have to unbolt it where the header and downpipe meet and take it off from there since the downpipe and cat is welded together.

oh, and could i pick it up tomorrow sometime? i got nothing planned so if you're workin, i can swing by at night or watever.

I just installed my SRI, it sounds great when I accelerate now. My Goldline springs came in about a week ago and I am thinking of waiting to install them until I have rear and front strut bars and a camber kit (and new wheels [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] ) then I will get my kit and finally my exhaust system. The only problem with all of this is that I cannot find a job yet which I need to pay for all of the stuff I want to get [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]. I will be installing the rest of my alteezas this weekend because I have to remove the bumper and it is too cold in my garage to do it so I am going over to some guys house. What kit do you guys recommend for a 4dr? And does anyone know how to remove the rear bumper? Because I am planning on doing by looking for what looks like it should come off and taking it off until the bumper can be pulled off.

you dont need strut bars to install the springs. but a camberkit depending on how low the drop is (lower the drop, camber will be setoff more). since you're going with springs, you might want to look into new struts. like shocks. as of now, i think koni is the only one out. but tokico is coming out with one soon.. or maybe its out already? as for the rear bumper, i have no idea.. im guessing theres a few screws over by the rear wheel well, and probably behind the bumper.. and its probably clipped in like the front bumper.

I am pretty sure not too many custom shops do mandrel bent piping. I think it is hard to come by for a custom and if you do find one yes, it will be pricey. Better off with a cat back.


HOW are the MTX 18000D amps?
