I'm waiting to hear back from the vendor right now. If they say Ill have it by the end of the week or middle of next week, I can install it in time for IA. But if I can't get it in time, then Im just going to wait until the end of the month

CCColtsicehockey

Trying to do a custom charge harness on the TSX so I can tuck the wires however I figured out the starter is under the supercharger manifold and thus I can't get the wire off without removing the blower and then draining the entire aftercooler system so I can remove the aftercooler and then the manifold. I think I might just wait till I can do an entire semi tuck of the bay instead. Doesn't seem worth doing all that just to hide 4 wires no matter how much they stick out.

Bigger things I need to get done before IA are getting my A/C fixed, raising the car in the back so I can pack it full of all my shit, and doing an oil change.

CCColtsicehockey

Eric will your back seat area be available since you bike will be on your bike rack this year? I have a tent we could take but it will not fit in the TSX at all. Still have to figure out how I am getting a spare tire in the car as well.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I might be able to take the spare for you. I pack light and the trunk in the FR-S is surprisingly large.

I need to do a fluid change on the tranny and diff along with an oil change before IA too.

CCColtsicehockey

The spare I have is a 17x7.5 TE37 with 225/45/17 for sizing it up. I used to carry the factory spare behind the passenger seat but can't do that since I put the Spoon calipers on a few years back. This is one of the few road trips the car has been on since getting the trailer for it.

iTrader: (9)

Thatll fit in my trunk.

ACCURATEin

Nope. The TL will be at full capacity.

ACCURATEin

Temps next week appear to be in the mid 70s.

CCColtsicehockey

What all will be in the TL? Do you not want any shade at IA in the parking lot? I can provide teh tent just can't get it there.

ACCURATEin

You should do what you traditionally have always done which is roll the tsx into your trailer. I'm slightly confused as to why you're driving it now with the thousands more you have invested in it. I would hate to see your front bumper end up like mine. Scars and battletorn with little specs of missing paint all around.

ACCURATEin

In regards to the said item i purchased a little bit ago on ebay...Jason, I won't need to borrow your 70-200 lens anymore at IA.

How large is the tent when stored?

ACCURATEin

I remember buying a tent when i was in GA for nopi nationals a long time ago. It went missing after that and I have NO idea where it went. Stolen, lost, misplaced...i have no idea what happened to it. I miss it haha. They're pretty big.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I'm just trying to figure out if it would fit in my car with the back seat folded down.

ACCURATEin

You should be able to fit it in any car. It's a long rectangular box shape.

I won't be attending IA

BUT between Eric and Morgan, there should be plenty of pictures to make me feel like I'm there

Jason has expensive ass equipment yet never posts pictures

ACCURATEin

I am sorry you're not prioritizing this congregation of individuals whom share a similar passion. I hope that whatever it is that you have prioritized will reap you much reward in the future.

I refuse to post pictures now that youre not going.

CCColtsicehockey

So does that mean I can't borrow your video camera now?

CCColtsicehockey

I miss driving the car and being part of a large carovan cruise to events. Yes the trailer is nice to have and very convenient. However I do miss rolling with everyone to events. I enjoyed doing it last year in the F so I want to do it again.

ACCURATEin

And yes, I will take lots of photos for you. With the equipment I now have and the lens that is coming in the mail soon, the quality should be much greater than the photos from last year. Not to mention I am shooting in manual mode unlike last time haha.

CCColtsicehockey

I want to say like 10in x 10in x 54in I think. I will have my dad measure it tonight so we can be sure. I really need to get some coils with stiffer springs. 9k/5k just isn't getting it done.



Why not now? No pictures for you.

ACCURATEin

Most def.

Would you like me to provide you with a link as to where to purchase one of these 3200s which you were originally perplexed as to why I got one in the first place?!

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Thanks Eric. I WANT to go but don't have the financial means to make it happen. You might know why that is.

I'm sure everyone will have a blast! Drive safely and take plenty of pictures

I'm not missing out on much then

moola

CCColtsicehockey

No I know where to purchase one. I am instead saving to buy a D7100 eventually though which will replace my D300 completely. Just waiting till I can play with one in a store to be 100% certain about that before selling my D300.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Your guess is correct. Keep it to yourself

CCColtsicehockey

What do you speak of

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

I'm forgetful as well.

Anyways, why do you want to replace the D300?

CCColtsicehockey

Primary reason is that it does not shoot video and video is something I have wanted to get into for a while now. Second reason is for better low light shooting from the new sensor in the camera. Other than that I am still perfectly happy with my D300. I love the depth of field in video you get from an SLR so just getting a regular video camera doesn't really fit the bill. I could buy a D3200 but then I have more gear to lug around I always seem to have to much as it is.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Gotcha

I love my D3100 but you're a much better photographer than I am, plus you have more goodies

I've used a D7000 and it was great. I'm sure you'll like the D7100.

CCColtsicehockey

Packing list for IA so far:

Clothes
Cooler
Camera gear
Car was supplies
Chairs
Spare tire
Tent
Jack

Can't really see how I can pack lighter than that and I am sure I will come up with more haha

CCColtsicehockey

Don't sell yourself short bud. I surely do not even reach close to the limits with my D300.

My upgrade interest is mainly a video decision. The other reason for wanting the D7100 over something like the D3200 is I am so used to having so many of the controls on the outside of the camera with quick reach buttons rather than going into menus and I don't want to give that up. I also like the feel of the fact the D300 body is heavier being made with magnesium and now they have made most of the D7100 like that as well. I will have to keep reading what the reviews say about the D7100 vs the D7000 though as the D7000 used are selling for great deals.

You're bringing Jack? I'm surprised he's going outside of Charlotte for a meet

Edit: I love the video function of the 3100. That's the only reason why I got rid of my D60.
