I might have to work later than 2 now and might not be able to show up 'til later tonight. Therefore, don't wait for me. I got Razzi's number so I'll give him a call if/when I can come...

Speak of the devil. I was polishing my car up last night and cleaning the inside. Decided to work real hard on getting the mystery film off my windows that fogs at anything below 60 degrees. I now see that my windshield is cracked in 2 places. It's high up into the tinted area - but I'm gonna call it in anyways. My window is so pitted its not funny.

Gotta bust some heads though - see if I can get OEM glass.

guys, dont know if this familiar to u guys, OK, so i got the CEl p420 and i know its the o2 sensor....i erased it with the sanner. After, my cars idling is so weided. when i put in drive, it stays at 600 RPM, which noemally at 800 RPM....also shifted it back to N or P, the needle will usully bounce up to 700 to 800 immdeiately..but this time, it will drop to 600 rmp and rise back up to 700 to 800 slowly.....Should i reset ,my ECu or just have it learn?

That way you'd save about a hundred bucks, and could tecnically change the accent color for the rims at any given time. Otherwise - again - if your dead set on black, it's well worth the extra hundred bucks to have it factory done, vs. you having to prep the rims, not to mention primer and paint would be more than $140 anyways. If you check around, I'd bet you could find something with the green already in it.
my friends dad owns a shop and painted my current set of rims, and it only cost me $35.. I'm sure i could pay him more and give him more than an hour and get a better paintjob and better coating.. i like the silver ones cuz they are like the type-s rims

That helps a bit then. I was thinking you were going to be buying a set of rims and running down to wally world and pickup up 5 cans of Krylon to get the job done.

It was cool meeting you all finally. Lots of new faces (for me at least).

Too bad I couldnt make it on the ride, but that's what I get for planning too much shit all at once.

Next time - I'm in.

Sweet. Looked like an awesome meet guys. Who's got that silver 2G? Maybe I've seen him around.


I got back home at 4pm and forgot about this. Had to skip the extra office work to go help help out with a family event. A bunch of MNSubie folks there.

Anyways, that cruise would work well on one quiet, sunny, Sunday afternoon.

I'd be happy to have some people there to watch. We are always a bit light on spectators.

There is a teen driving school being put on by the AutoX community for those of you teens out there. It would be a good idea to sign up soon to ensure that you get a spot. Go to mnautox.com for more details.
