Hey leo, talk to a guy named Bob Johnson. He is the shit. He's been helping me since I first walked into that place. My buddy used to work with him at Huffins. He remembers me everytime I go in there. I just hit 30k not to long ago and there was alot of that stuff that we talked about that I could do on my own. I think it came to about 300 bucks or so. Bob's a great guy, very professional.

trancemission

Well I would like to claim myself as the king but I think I would have to prove it to you guys first I guess. But hey, let me know. I dont mind having all you fools over I will need some notice due to the fact that I work weekends and I will need to be taking this day off. Making it a Sunday will make it all much easier as well

Atx, I hope you weren't watching the Spurs tonight . . . . they got



I don't think they would have won this with Duncan . . . the Mavs were out for



Ruf

G

Nah, I was washing my car. Sad though. I mean, th Mavs are good, but the Spurs are supposedly the 2nd best team. Well, they better do well enough to advance in the finals cause we already bought our damn seats!!

G

Is anybody good with buffing/polishing cars? I need to do mine but am a when it comes to that kind of thing-plus, I would like to learn from someone who knows what they are doin before I go all on my car.

Chopsie

Cool. It can wait till the meet, there are enough street corners here for me to work until then

Chopsie

Isn't there an Austin meet in the works, and Does this mean I will have two Black cars to work on ?

Chopsie

Of course I do everything by hand, haven't worked out the buffer system yet. hand action= just as good as any buffer work I've ever witnessed

G

2 black cars?

G

As long as it does the job, I don't care. I just need to do it soon, so would you mind coming down this weekend please!!??

RUF87

PM me your cell number and I can give you a few tips . . . Ruf

RUF87

ah . . .


professional buffers are great, but you got to be careful not to create swirl marks or burn the paint off . . .

Ruf

G

Swirls are the essence of my nightmares!!!

Brake upgrade . . . .

Guys, I'm really wanting to do my brakes before the big regional meet and have been looking at several types. So here's what I'm looking at right now. I'm waiting on some additional data, but here's a taste

They have application for various models as well.

http://www.racingbrake.com/rotors.html

Those rotors are $225 for the pair, plus shipping & handling. (Give me your zip code for a shipping quote.) They take about three days for us to get. RacingBrake makes those rotors only in their "UP" configuration, so they have an alloyed, heat-treated iron composition, and curved (instead of straight) internal vanes.

sound sweet don't they . . .

Ruf

leolebo28

Are these gonna as good of quality as a well known name brand...will they work with the stock calipers...sorry for dumb q's but dont know shit about brakes

RUF87

What I'm hearing so far is that they are better than the Rotora and lowend Brembos . . . these are designed and built by a company that has been making rotors for the racing circuit and has recently moved to offer services to the aftermarket space . .

so far my is that these sound better . . .

I've already asked about discounts and they would give us a 15% break for 4 sets, asking for more if we get more interest . . . at 15% that would be $191 plus S&H. So I'm really thinking about this . . .

Ruf

G

Damn, this is sounding good!!

leolebo28

man that doesnt sound too bad....hmmm...tax return might have to be put to good use

G

Speaking of Tax Retruns, I prolly have about 1500-2000 comin back. What should I do? Iwas thinkin that I could get headers, x-pipe, etc., and complete the exhaust-should get me about 40 more horsies!

What y'all think?

RUF87

I think you ought to my . . . . . .

. . . because I was hoping to do the same and found out that I'll actually owe this year . .

Ruf

G

Yeah, but that is only because I have been paying out the outhole all year long (I didn't claim myslef). Plus, I bought my Condo and three cars last year. So, I have a a lot of "shelters" if you may.

RUF87

and here's the Rotora link, and note that they are only the slotted rotors, so

Rotora: $155 slotted only
HP: $191 slotted and cross drilled

and hopefully the cost will come down some more . .

Ruf

RUF87

oh, I have lot's of deductions . . . just that a couple of things caught me off guard.

Ruf

G

Um, where's the link?

G

Yeah, that always sucks.

G

So, anybody got anything good goin on this weekend?

I have to help on the ranch, we are stringin fence and finishing off some barns. So, looks like I will havee to wait another weekend to wax the Vette.

mantis23

I'll be in Austin Saturday April 9th around n00n. I'm staying at the double tree on 6th street?

I'm leave Sunday morning, so I won't be there long.

Maybe I'll run into you ATX.

My schedule consists of

1. drinking.
2. passing out.
3. Refer to 1 & 2.

RUF87

right here . . . . just checking to see if anyone is really looking . . .

I might be interested in the brakes. I'm really starting to get tired of my steering wheel shaking when I hit the brakes at highway speeds.
