i'm liking all the hype for this meet, i'm getting pretty excited!
anyways 2 things..
1. I want to go to university tonight, just to see whats going on, maybe meet up with a coupl eof you guys
2. would gettin gnew mufflers give me a at least somewhat dramatic increase in hp? because right now it almost feels like it isn't getting the exhaust out. i'm not sure how restrictive our mufflers are, but it feels like i am getting more power in the engine, but then trying to fit more exhaust through the same small hole..
i'm not sure if that makes sense, ot if i typed it good.
i haven't slept in like 40 hours, so im going to give it a try right now

Yes - the more the merrier. Make sure if they drive a really nice car though, they ride with you. lol j/k


Hey Dan / Jorge.... Any plans for tonight then? I know you said you'd be interested in a bonfire Dan. Will just have to see if it dries up at all. I guess as long as it stops raining, we're good. I got 3 bags of dry paper inside..lol May have to quickest bonfire known to man if we can't burn any wood.

Jorge - I know you said you may be busy on Saturday, but mentioned you wanted to get together. Perhaps before/after our burning party, Dan and I could meet up at your place or we could run for a beer. You could put the mother to bed and sneak out Grand Casino style

Oh - and I have to make a Costco run tonight for burgers / buns. The wifey wouldn't let me buy the stuff on Tuesday because I guess buns disintegrate after 3 days of non-use. So if you're up for anything tonight Dan, you can either give me a call or just show up at my house anytime after about 5pm. We could even feed ya.

Mufflers might give you 1-2 hp. The larger restriction on a Type P is the cat-back piping. on a Type S a cat-back will only give you like 2 hp over stock, but on a Type P it is more like 10 i'd say. Mufflers alone won't help much, tho. You need pipes.


Glow - I am down tonight if it works weather wise. Not looking good right now but lets see. I have a buddy driving up from Chi town to hang out for the weekend (Andrew, he was actually at your house with me one time, little dude with shaggy hair lol). I'd be down for a drink for sure though. Lets see what happens with the rain. Oh, and my ex-gf shit includes a crap ikea desk and side table, so you we got wood for your paper to light lol.

Jorge's trying to steal my firewood already. Sheesh. I guess if you can use it though. I could actually deliver it tonight if needed (and if it's not all busted up already)

You down for a drink later Jorge? Sounds like I may be meeting up with Dan either way (fire or not). Dan - I'll give you a call once I get out of work and see what the plan is.

Its not very big. probably 3.5 by 2.5 ft plus a 1 by 2.5 side table. probably not the best replacement for the one you have (and a girly blue color). if you want it its yours tho. i can fit it in my kia rondo (blah!) rental and drive it out today. leme know.

Hey Dan - talked to Luke and it sounds like he is just sitting around looking for something to do too. I told him to get in his car and head on over later.

I just checked the weather and it looks like another line of rain is coming through in the next 30-60 minutes. Everything looks pretty clear after that though. I'm thinking a bonfire is definately possible.

What area of town are you hibernating in? If we go somewhere for a drink, would you be looking at having me and Luke meet you someplace downtown'ish, or would you just wonder up towards my neck of the woods?

Still on. If for some strange reason the weatherman is wrong (what?) and it rains tomorrow, we will probably either chill in the garage or head out for a burger or something.

So they still do it around there? I remember hearing about that big police bust years ago lol....I bet the news video is on youtube somewhere lol.... Im guessing that stripmall parking lot is the one by Dale and University in front of that Foodsmart restaurant? I work right across the street from that place lol You'll see my NPB parked there everyday.. Friday and Saturday nights they always start to gather there at sundown when I'm leaving. Friday nights, University is a busy road with tuners, hot rods and people just going out.

Tonight was a success. No bonfire, but we got a lot accomplished. Dan got to ride fast and furious style in the festiva, and we conquered 50 boneless wings at BW3's.

Now luke and I are playing bigs - see you all tomorrow

I'd say anytime around 11am - noon. I have to make a Costco run tomorrow morning since i didn't get around to it tonight. Other than that, I should be good to go. Might pick up a little around the house. Sounds like tomorrow is gonna be a great day too.

Hey - if anyone is interested, I have a buddy of mine that is brining his father in laws car down to Car Craft down at the fairgrounds. For those of you that do not know what that is - basically it's a car show that is put on by Car Craft magazine. This car my buddy is bringing has been in magazines before.

They are having an autocross events as well as a burnout competition tomorrow as well. Unfortunately you have to register to get in - so that means none of us. But it might be a good time if anyone is down.

I didn't know you got tints? But yeah few pointers open your sunroof and roll your windows down when you see a cop. It's always my first reaction. You'll learn quickly to do it. Just try to do anything that'll make em look lighter.
