Count me in, but lets set-up where to meet. We could do Como again (the lot by Como Lake) or Lake Harriet like the original meet was supposed to be at. Anybody got any other idea's?

Ya, I really like the way they turned out. I ran out of paint though... there are a couple of spots that need another coat.
I saw some funny shit on the highway tonight... I was heading home going south on 77 and this new dodge challenger went racing past me doing about 100 and then like 5 seconds later there was a cobalt SS racing after it.... lol

Hey Joe, how much would you charge to do a fluids flush for me. (power steering, brake fluid, coolant) I'm looking to switch out my brake fluid for the Motul 5.1 IIRC you're supposed to do fluids after the first three years and every year after?

Well...
I'm still waiting on FIC and Meth to get here, but i finally received my tracking number and its due in on Friday. So next weekend will be electronics install, followed by tuning. Quick question for you, Did you run the Comptech ESM/ACM with your FIC, or does the FIC keep the stock ecu from seeing boost. Also will the FIC 6 run the meth setup or do you still use the AEM Meth Controller ?
We can talk about it at the next meet, I would rather not discuss prices or business type info on here. If you need it done sooner or have any other questions, both Jorge & Makana have my number just shoot me a text.

Niiiiice. If you're getting the F/IC, don't even bother putting the ACM in. The F/IC intercepts the stock MAP sensor and you can set your own clamp voltage through the software. You can also set your VTEC engagement point with the F/IC, but you may need to wire in a relay in your harness in order to do so.
I've got all of the proper wiring diagrams to make a 3G F/IC harness, but not for a 2G. It'd be fairly easy to figure out though from the info that I have. Just need to cross reference the ECU pins from the 2G - 3G.
The F/IC will not run the water/meth pump. It would need a PWM output, which it does not have.
Once you install your water/meth kit, turn both of your dials on it to their minimum values. Even at that point you still won't be able to get the 2nd stage to kick in. I think the lowest value on the 2nd stage is 7 p.s.i.

Looks like I won't be able to make the meet guys work is picking up and it'll be hard for me to get the days off I want now. I'll still try and work something out cause I know how bad you want to see me lol.

Yes you are correct. I found the map from when we had the meet with the G guys. It has the curve area were Blackura lost it. Maybe we can do that cruise this meet. Hey wannabe do you remember that day.
#8229
I can probably make the 14th. I thought it was this upcoming weekend for some reason. That must be the G/Z meet this weekend.
Been so damn busy lately I hate to commit to anything more than a day or two in advance. Not sure if this is the right way to go about it, or if I just should book myself months in advance and say tough shit to everyone else. lol

Hows it going boys, just wanted to introduce myself real quick. My name is Trent and I`ve been lurking around the boards for a few months getting ideas for the TL I plan on purchasing in the near future (2-4 months). I`ve been checking most of the used car sites daily for the last few months and have found it difficult to find exactly what I`m looking for. I`m looking for an 06-07 WDP TL preferably with a black interior, my budget is capped at about 16k. I`m fully expecting it to have 70k miles give or take. I realize at this with these perameters it would be tough to get one with navi, which isn`t the end of the world. I`d rather dump the extra money into a 10" in a sealed box in the trunk with a nice set of components up front. As far as my vision for the car, I like what Nate has done, so I`m looking to storm troop the shit out of it. Anyways I just thought I`d say hello, and ask that you guys keep your eyes open for any white TL's for sale that you think might be up my alley! Below is a link to one that I have had my eyes on for a few weeks now. Have a great weekend guys and I look forward to getting to know yall and your rides!

Im getting a little worried about changing my own timing belt... When I painted my rims, I took the car for a drive when I was done and heard a clunk noise. I came home and realized that I forgot to tighten the lug nuts when I put the wheels back on... Last night I painted my front calipers and I think I left the left caliper bolts loose cause now when I hit a bump I hear a clunk noise...
Maybe Ill be ok with the timing belt, there wont be any paint to inhale...lol
