Both the upper and lower were 280 shipped (airmail). It was definetly needed with 19s.. it cut down on the rigidity a hell of a lot... and numbed down the body roll significantly.

125 for upper, 80 for lower...

Bluesman, that cruise sounds fun. I remember that 51 road from one summer when I earned a little extra money driving an escort truck for mobile homes. I don't know how long that road is, but the part we took was very hilly and twisty, with some 180* sweeping turns uphill. I made sure to find out what road that was cause I knew then I wanted to go back and drive it again. But I've been too lazy up till now.
If we could get 3-5 people interested it could be fun. The 31st looks like it would be a great day. Say, meet in Granbury about 9AM maybe go all the way down to Hico for lunch and back. I am guessing the round trip would be about 4 hours depending on stops. Anyone PM me today if interested. I may just head out anyway.

Yeah, your pictures and my buddies he just sent me are awsome. 99% of the pictures we take go onto the PC anyway. I have a photo printer, so what is the point in a regular camera.....

I hope you all plan to represent...

http://www.nopi.com/schedule/default.htm

April 12 & 13 :: NOPI Race Wars Dallas :: Dallas Texas Motorplex, Ennis TX

You'll find all the info on registration, classes for racing, showing, etc. I think we should all put the effort in to put forth a great gathering and unified presence.

Your thoughts? Oh, and would the CL be a luxury or sport coupe? Can you call my car luxury when it goes front to back and side to side

Hey Bluesman, did you take the cruise? If so how was it, we need to organize another way ahead so more can make it.

No, not really. Made a short run up to Denton on the old Hwy and managed to hit 105 at one point. Yeah lets start looking at some Saturday we can get a bunch together. That area I maped out has lots of good roads.

I wish that was all due to having too much fun the past ew days. However, I've been out of it for several days. Came down with a sinus infection and ended up with bronchitis. And migrains to boot!

Anyway, I'm starting to get over it and I'm ready to start working on the WDP Mods!

I've got a friend who owns his own CNC shop. Now all I need is someone who can help out with some CAD drawings.

Does anyone here have the ability to provide CAD drawings, or get access to them?

Let me know and we are ready to pursue the next steps. Those would be a test vehicle.

Hey Mark, I saw you in my neck of the woods the other day at the Intersection of Preston Rd & Warren, near Steak 'n Shake. You were driving like a bat outta hell, and I was going in the opposite direction.

Maxima.org dude!

The group deals they have there and the For Sale area are both great. If not there, each Generation has an FAQ thread as a sticky in the specific section. If he can't find any info there, it don't exist.

Off the top of my head, www.Stillen.com is a great source for stuff like that. They make some beautiful kits for the Maximas.

I got back on Saturday late. Spent Sunday watching two great football games. Spent Monday and Monday night at work. Spent today and tonight at work. I would definately be in for a run if we scheduled it right, say a Saturday that I am in the time zone.

Those were some good football games... I was home not feeling too well, but they were still highly entertaining to watch, even without beer!

PS - I HATE THE FORTY WHINERS.

Its in Frisco.. on Preston, just north of the mall, between best buy & loews hardware. I'm pretty sure it was you.. all I saw was your front tire while it was in motion, and a glimpse of the rear. I recognized the stance that those tires give, and I'm pretty sure I saw the konigs..

It's the sixty-niners man... get it right.

anyway, what a great day.

found out my springs are on the way (UPS - 1ze713500344754027) and should be arriving Friday.

AND, for all of you that were at the track, some of you witnessed a horrible loss to a Sentra Spec V. Ever since then I've been dying to see one on the road. Needless to say, there was a nice little debaged silver one in Richardson last night as I was passing through.

Now for those of you in the area, I was on Jupiter just past south of Lookout heading south. I saw the little booger at that residential light after Lookout. I passed Campbell and pulled into the Wallgreens to wait for him and as he came buy I darted out after him. As we pull up to the Collins light, which was red, he revs me! So it's on NOW! As we're reving each other and coming to a stop the light turns green and he's already a car ahead, but I was pulling on him, but the homo was flashing his hazards already at me. So we finally get to Arapaho and we are stopped at a Red light. It turns green, he gets half of his car ahead of me on the launch, but once I gained traction back, I pulled hard on him and was a car length + my car ahead of him at the top of second. Then I slowed down and he did a rice buy (focker).

So, even though the driver was a jacka$$ I still beat the crap out of him and feel much better about my car.

Just had to tell the guys.

Inferno and DeeZnuts -

Did you guys get an email from Dean asking for a confirmation on the CT Icebox?



Now who out there is a CAD person? I need to get a CAD drawing to my CNC guy to determine what the costs for the WDP Mod II and III will be.

Yep, that could have been me. I had a doctors appointment up that way about that time.
