First meet there by RKC got kicked out. WE just moved there recently. I dunno where this is headed. Me and a few others are thinking about creating our own wed night meet since its just people we know and so on. Do our own fun runs instead of having interruptions. But yea I dunno we are still thinking about it for now. I was working with a friend on his car and kinda lost track of time.

I blame the misinformed kids...I do not know where they came from but thats how it all started. The wed night meet used to be a small gathering then out of nowhere random kids that have been watching the fast and the furious show up revving there shit and trying to race in the lots. IMO retarded.
I am going to figure out a new Wed night meet. I will talk to a few Clublexus buddies and so on. This way we can separate ourselves from the "other" people. But it is still in the works right now I have a few talks with a few people to decide waht is going to happen.

2)And yell before you sell.

Anyone need OEM rotors for a 6mt? LOL I have my stock brembo rotors already turned just sitting here...Trying to get rid of both for 80 bucks. They are kinda dirty from my hands when I was turning the rotor lol. Just something I need to clear to make more room around the house other than just taking up room. Anyway maybe hitting up the track up tomorrow. We shall see. Also does anyone just have an old TL flywheel laying around by chance? I am going to figure this out and see if I can get a manufacturer to get rid of the dual mass setup to a reg setup. Just wondering if anyone might have a used or busted 6mt one laying around. I just need some measurements off of it. Just let me know if you do.

Thanks 
I tried that Ice Liquid Clay product and it did a great job. It was easy to apply and easy to take off. I could see dirt on the pad that I normally didn't see when using a typical cleaner wax. Our church's adult minister has a WDP TL and his now looks more off-white/yellowish than mine.
I'll need to get those stealth bulbs for the turn signals and complete the clearing process.

^^^I Zaino my car too. The only challenge with Zaino is you need to order it online. I get the Zaino car show wax with the curing agent that you add. I also use their Clear Seal after the wax for added protection. I use their car soap and I've aso used their clay bars. Pretty much most of the things they have. 
I've hear about the Ice product and I'm sure its good too. Seems like Turtlewax is doing the same thing as Zaino.

Dallas Frame & Alignment
I just got my car aligned at Dallas Frame & Alignment. 
Best damn shop around! They set my camber with me in the car and we test drove the car 6+ times till I was happy with the setup. My friend with the Supra has used them and they eliminated uneven tire wear problems he's been having since day one. No one could fix his problem until DFA did it.
I had the rear camber kit installed at the same time. DMD said my rear driver's side wheel had -3 degrees camber outside the factory tolerances. DFA said they were way off and that I had less than -1 degrees camber on that same wheel. The other wheel was off more.
Long story short is that I paid more at DFA but I got an excellent customized alignment for my car, not one that is just factory spec. Those guys are amazing AND they don't use computers or lazers. They had me sit in the car to make sure the camber was set perfect with me in it. Most people weigh enough that it throws off the camber a little. Every car is different enough that you can't just set the alignment off one setting.

i'm ready for the road trip to Denver, about 900 miles each way. Plus I'm sure I'll do a couple hundred more while I'm there.
The List:
-Lucas fuel treatment (in the tank now and plenty for the trip)
-new plugs
-new brake pads
-alignment
-new tires
-oil changed
-couple of rattles eliminated
-clay bar and Zano'ed car
-done earlier this year:
-timing belt and water pump
-radiator hoses replaced and coolant flushed and replaced.
-clutch rebuilt
-new tranny fluid
-jpipe installed
-3rd cat delete
-teflon engine treatment
I think I should be good to go with no worries. Weather looks good for when I drive. It's hot here but it will be perfect temperatures in Denver when I get there. I plan to take some pics of the car en route to save as memorabilia.
