It is not that far if you just want to show up. You may want to hit up trancemission and see if there is a Dallas group caravaning over.

Has anyone down this?
Never actaully tried to hold it to the window before I stuck it on, but the instructions in the booklet say to stick it on the windshield firmly, so I just did that - lots easier than having to hold it up agains the windshield to 'hope' the sensor reads it. Maybe if it isn't firmly against the glass or angled wrong it may not read the chip


And ya as of now I'm down for the 24th meet.

Sodas would be fine. I will have some basics-Coke, DC, Sprite.

Thanks for the offer, but the ribs (6 racks of spareribs) are smoked, ready for the oven, and grill next week (In the freezer now). Rib roast will hit the rotisserie tonight and then freeze to be cut down for some mini steak sands.

If anyone wants to bring a favorite item, feel free. I should have plenty of goodies but we should have a good crowd.

Hey guys, if anyone comes across a rear sway bar (or set with front also) locally for a 2G CL/TL lemme know! Tired of the land-yacht feeling like its gonna roll over through turns.

^ I would suggest stiffer spring rates, and shocks with bigger valving (or coils). Then your typical strut bars will help reduce body roll. Lastly, a nice thick rear sway bar to help turn the rear for cornering. I would not suggest a front sway bar, as it induces more understeer with the wrong setup on a fwd.

Adjustable coilovers will also help rotate the car with the proper settings (typically you want to stiffen the rear more then the front for a FWD platform). Lastly, having it corner balanced will really have a nice impact on it's cornering abilities, but you will not get that "slammed" look when doing so.

The chain is in the bag of manuer, next to the kitchen sink and the light bulbs.
Stop throwing lemon juice from the porch, there are frogs mating in tents near there.

When do you plan on going up to DFW? Annie is most likley going to ride shotgun with me, so it would be nice to have a few more in chain on the drive up.
