I have talked to Jorge on the phone, and as far as I know, he's cool with the meet. He said he would be on here later today to put something up.

 

Hi all a bit nervous cause you have not heard from me.
I have been a little busy thats why you have not heard from me. Well do not worry its all cool. We can meet at my place . 05 tl Welcome back I do not have a spring compressor but if you get one, and some NONAME "STEAKS" we can get RAZZI to compress them with his teeth. For meat RAZZI will do anything. I do have a new complete A-spec suspension I want to install to

 

I vote that a couple of us get there really early and put on my exhaust, and then we can spend the rest of the day putting on Jorge's A-spec suspension and finish it off with his 19s...

 

I second that motion, but Josh do not forget 05 tl springs and the juicy "NONAME STEAKS" he will be bringing just likethe ones we had on Wed. night

 

damn, i'm jealous right now. i'd love to be there for the meet.

 

NITRO!!!!!! You watch the OZ GP?

 

Nitro you are alive. great to hear from you. How are things Armand missed you the last time we got together. You could be with us here in teh cold weather.

 

Hey Nitro, would it be wrong of me to invite myself down for the MotoGP race at Philip Island?

 

Haha you guys are badass.

 

jorge is it cool if we start at about 10 in the morning for those that want to show up early to get mods on? we could keep workin on it till later, sun doesnt set till late 7 oclock. and since it IS saturday night, if you guys dont wanna go cruisin we can roll deep into foodsmart and rep the (/-\)

matt, i downloaded the p90x program, i'll burn you a copy and give it to you at the meet

 

Yeah! Don't forget about me Josh! Actually you guys don't have to worry about my springs. They're getting installed next wednesday when I get my new tires on!!! I'll probably be doing the P2R this weekend along with the Progress RSB. Not sure about the J-pipe yet......maybe next week if I get a chance.....

Not real sure when I'm going to clean it, but at least the parts will be installed

 

jesus christ. i'm gonna feel like a bum next to you guys. all these mods, i cant even get my car back to factory state

 

We'll just make you park on the other side of the street! But that's where I'll be unless I get to cleaning off the winter grim that's built up on my car.....

 

im in for a cruise hahahaha ( its doesnt really matter )

 

I should have checked this thread earlier in the month. You'll have to pm me when the next meet is scheduled, to short of a notice to make the 2 hour drive south. Anyone a frequent visitor over on MNSC?

 

Hah, nice job MyPearl02 for taking my #15 position :angryfire I guess I'll be #16 now. My friend, Louis, might attend with me with his '04 Yamaha R1. He's got some pretty sick mods done to it so far...

hahahaha oopse my bad. well fourmula1 and i spent about 5 hrs on my paint and it look like after all im not gonna have to send it to the body shop it turned out great. im gonna need an address so formula and i can drive out there.

 

I guess im planning on the meet for the 11th. I'll get my 19s on this week and come on over.

Josh, i'll be at the FNF showing tonight. Wont have my car tohugh. With my newly aquired stereo equipment, i worry about it sitting in a lot in plymouth at 12pm at night...

So i'll either have the 08 G or my moms truck. Also bringing my 2 friends.

 

Fun meetin you guys tonight! Josh, and Takata (sick car BTW) and 05tlrider. Of course slepy LOL the movie was OK i guess, best part was meeting ya'll.

I had an awesome ride back on 494 too. No cars, no cops. Damn pickup wouldnt go over 98 though haha i love 2am driving.

 

drive home= super chill... only car on the road, passing by the city, it was relaxing

 

question for you all even though the meet on the 11th, i was looking at the forecast and it is suppose to rain. Are we still down for it rain or shine?

 

Sorry Josh, i didnt see the GP.....i really need to check out the legit racing scene here. I'm completely lagging behind.

 

Hey Jorge, i'm ALWAYS on AZ. Hit me up anytime.....Wait! it's still cold there??
It's fall here and it still feels like a twin cities summer.

When is it? I'm sure we'll be in our house by then....I seriously can't wait!!!

 

Yes Razz that is cool. Can wait to get the copy of P90X.

 

Yes it was a pleasure meeting you. I think the movie was OK.

 

The race is in the spring for you, prolly October? How much of a hike is it for you to get to Philip Island? It's at the VERY south end of the continent. They have friggin PENGUINS!!

 

Yea, it was very dramatic and they blew up a G

 

rusted bolts=suck

 

Matt, i take it your having issues with your suspension swap?

 

many.. we had to give up, after a torch, breaker bar, and tension hammer were all not enough to break through 10 winters of minnesota rust

 

did you presoak that sucker in wd-40 or other lubricants a few days prior?

 

^that is the key.

You might need to take it to a shop to have it done.

 

jorge could you PM me your address. i have a couple of guys on here who aren't checkin the forums but are local.

anyone else, if you still dont have the address, give takata 18 a message. or send me an email at razzikh@gmail.com so i can throw you on a mailing list

 

alright..
we started at about 11, me and my moms boyfriend... the bolts were to rusted, and so after a little bit, we tried a lube wasnt working.. I just called my friend who does my painting on stuff, he has a shop..
we talked, and agreed on 6 to let me in and start. SO it was 8 when he got there, and we started at around 9.. we both were a little late, me and my 2 friends chilled in the shop. He had an air compressor=makes every bolt wayyyy easier. so we did the rear suspension, me and my friend who didn't know what to do or how to do it really.. his dad, who owns the shop, would help us from time to time, and after about an hour, we had the first spring off and replaced and back on. we ran into problems a couple times with dropping bolts etc and some bolts being difficult, or trouble lining up.. but we got faster on each one, and by the last one, we had it down, i took us less than 20 mins from the first bolt being taken off to the wheel being back on.. we had a fourthmeal stop around 2, and that took some time, but all in all we finished at 3:30 with cleaning and everything. but the install was very fun, and i had a good time learning how to do it

 

Wait, are you saying it took you 14 hours to install your suspension?

 

we started at 11, went to go get some tools once we got the wheels off, and then got lunch, got back, went til maybe 1, and put the wheels on and quit for then.. then at 3 i went to my friends house, and we chilled til like 530, then we went out to eat, got back at 630, and went up to the shop, but rick didn't get there til 8, 830.. then we got the car in and started at 9, with about an hour of breaks in the process, so like 9 til 330, one hour of not doing anything

 

Luke has been working and buying car parts. I parted out my 87 TA. I kept the motor and t56. I am currently building a 71 TA clone from a very solid 78 TA. I'll be on the road this year in flat black.

 

Glad to hear you got it done Matt. Its wierd how you get the hang of it and it just starts movin quicker lol.

Got any pics?

 

How's the ride with the new springs?

 

ride is great, it feels a lot better than the old springs, on those i'd be going off my dirveway and i'd feel like it was still shaking half a mile later.. these are better by a long shot.

and i do have pics, before and after, but they are on my phone.. and i don't know how to get them onto my comp. for free.. so either photoshoot this friday janick, or everyone will have to wait til the meet this saturday. haha, i'll probably end up taking pics on my moms camera soon though
