That sucks. Ethan...are you coming to this Saturday's dinner meet still? And I need a new barber and I thought about going to your bro's place, can I get his work number?

 

yeah Ill be there.....in the TL

my day was much better today. I found that I will not be payin near as much on the taxes for the Lotus as I thought I was.

 

So quick question guys...the weather, as I have been told multiple times here, won't be in our favor. Also there is something that came up that I can miss...but it would be hard to make up. So, does everyone like the date setup for this Saturday's meet...or should we reschedule. Also rescheduling would allow others, like Nelson, to make it...what does Dallas think?

 

Well that is good to hear.

 

I am down for this Saturday or another Saturday as long as it is after6pm since that is when I get out of work.

 

So, IF EVERYONE ELSE AGREES. Then it will be moved to next Saturday. I have too many things going on this weekend that it would be difficult to fit in a meet. But if y'all wanna go then that is cool as well...

 

I'm out if we move it. I don't get Saturdays off very often, & won't have another one off til' April 10th, & I won't be in town that weekend.

 

Ok...then maybe we will keep it the way it is, and I will make it. Disregard any date changes...THE MEET IS ON MARCH 20TH AT DAVE AND BUSTERS 7:30 STONEBRIAR MALL ON PRESTON RD. AND SH-121

 

What about meeting an hr or 2 earlier?? I have stuff to do later that evening, you said you have stuff

 

I will be goin to Houston this week maybe next time...This drive is gonna suck tonight.

 

I got my thing rescheduled...does 7 sound better?

 

hey everyone. names joe, livin up in Wylie right now. Sorta new here and ridin a 2004 acura tl 6mt and used to have till 03/09 my 02 rsx type s was stolen from in front of my house :-( lookin forward to joining in a few meets when i can.

 

Glad to see a new Dallas area member. What's up Joe? My name is Shawn, and you joined at a perfect time, because tomorrow we are having a meet at Dave & Busters at 7:00 (or 7:30). It is the one in Stonebriar mall in Frisco...not too far from Wylie...try to make it out. There are going to be some new people I haven't met either...

 

Welcome Joe. Try to come out tomorrow night if you can.

 

il be at the dave and busters meet. got a story to tell you guys that realllly sucks

 

Cool. Hope this new guy, Joe, can make it...

 

Bump til' 7 if possible. I have some things that need to be done, so I may have to leave by 8-8:30.

 

K...how bout 6:30..or should we stick to 7?

 

7 works. Car won't be home til' the afternoon, which means all my morning errands need to be done by midnight.

 

Ok, so here is a review of the meet...
When: Saturday, March 20th 2010 at 7:00 P.M.
Where: Dave and Buster's in the Stonebriar mall...NW corner of Preston Rd. and SH-121
I guess we are all gunna chill and do w/e...yes I know it is going to rain...but lets be prepared for a photoshoot as well. There is no end time...but I have to duck out at 10:15 P.M.

 

Isn't there a section below the parking lot in front of the Cheesecake Factory entrance?

 

Ya...it the the second floor of the parking garage (what is pictured in the link) But it is always busy there and the security guards watch that area a lot...so maybe...but that is the place we should all park...on the second floor (outdoor part). If you cross that bridge and walk inside, you will see signs for D&B on your right. There is a lobby when you enter D&B and I guess we can all meet there. Or I can wait for like 3 others to show up, then get the room and everyone can meet there...

 

FYI...there is no outdoor entrance to D&B you have to come through the main entrance of the mall...

 

For you dfw guys that are lowered/dropped, do you guys have a camber kit installed? i'm hearing mixed opinions and wanted to see how you guys are holding up.

I'm about to pull the trigger on neuspeed supercup kit, but questioning whether i need to buy a camber kit as well. I'm looking to drop the car 1-1.5 inches max. nothing drastic. Any insight on camber kits will be a really big help!

 

Hey tigga can you make it to our meet tomorrow night?

 

I'd love to man, but im going to the mav/celts game tomorrow night. I will be in plano though, just around the corner from stonebriar from noon till 4ish...

I know ive missed the past few meets, just been really busy as of late. I got my wheels on its way, and hoping to get them mounted next weekend. hopefully a drop too. but we'll see when things arrive. Can't wait to show you guys at some point!

but let me know about that camber man, did you get one?

 

No to the camber...I think there is one guys here, forgot his name, but he has a WDP and he has a camber kit...I think. It's cool that you can't make it...maybe next time...

 

i got ingalls camber kits. there really nice. dont get spc or eibach whatever you do. the balljoints on them suckk. ingalls all the way

 

I heard ingalls are the best...but I've never had any...

 

That would be me.

 

It's really up to you. I got front and rears on mines so the alignment shop can align my setup to stock spec. (kinda). I'm on Tein SS. Also I would get a coilover suspension kit if I were you.

 

Haha sorry. I actually parked next to you on our BJ's meet during the photoshoot, but we didn't talk. Come to the meet tomorrow night...

 

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'd love to get coilovers, but just cant afford it right now. I've gotten a few install quotes for $2-300 for the supercup kit. So with parts and labor im looking at around $900 for a suspension setup! Then on top of that im about to drop ~$800 on tires! next week. my wallets taking a beating!

i started researching a bit and this whole camber business just gave me a headache! Definitely want a proper alignment and i want the tires to wear evenly when this is all said and done. I'm just having a tough time coughing up the dough all at once! I've read that some guys have only done their rear? do i need fronts too?

 

It's supposed to rain all day and possibly snow tomorrow night so I'm not even going to waste my time trying to wash my car, but if you want to try to do a photoshoot of dirty, but wet cars, I'm still down lol.

I'll be able to make it up there by 7 and stay for like an hour or two. College bball

 

Oh man supra city....Lots of nice high HP cars. Left early though but it was fun...Drive sucked left around midnight and got into town around 4am. However hit vtak a few times and beat a few NA supras lol which is not a hard feat. Dave and busters is nice other than parking...Lots of kids which sucks especially on the weekend. But I had to park in the Dillards lot.

 

So Nelson...does that mean you can make it to our meet...since you are back? Or maybe I misunderstood you...

And, dude, imj...don't even talk about snow...it ain't happening. FOX 4 is unreliable and they are the only station I saw who mentioned "snow"

 

No I am in Houston right now.

 

TX2K10 runs til' tomorrow, right?

 

Been looking for a job and found one! working now for 3 weeks.

Just been in hibernation due to being unemployed. I raced a blue M3 3 series the other day up Rowlett road. He pulled on me when I shifted but he couldn't get more than 1/2 a car length on me up to 100mph. That was a fun little run.

Don't believe everything E tells you about me. Except maybe that I love to drive my TL.
I'm probably not going to make this meet but I am looking forward to seeing some new faces, and showing off my car.

mmmmm....jelllooo. I like french fried taters too!

I know...i know! I got a dent on my rear passenger wheel well I need to get fixed. Like you, i'm tight on money while getting back on my feet again. I plan to get it fixed along with repainting the front bumper, hood and side mirror(s) all at one time. Also need my wheels reconditioned since they've collected some chips and were abused by Discount Tires mounting those beefy 265's.

 

Awww that sucks that you can't make it...
