You guys should set aside the whole day for this. Probably need 2 jacks since the motors are going to need support.

Shit, earlier works for me if you're down. I'm up at 5:30 everyday, its a curse I've got stands, jack and basic tools that ill bring. Simultaneously sounds like a better idea. If you want to buy that stuff then that's cool. Ill throw you some $ for using it. We can always rent that stuff but again that's your call.



We can make the meet

Yard House is at La Cantera Mall.

We can park near the back and should have plenty of spots. They have 50+ beers on tap if I'm not mistaken.

You're invited to both.

It is this Saturday at 7:30-8:00 P.M.

Debating on the place at the moment. Russel is leaving from SA, and may not be as frequent to AZ meets anymore.

Yard House...yummy! Hope we can get enough room for all of us as they usually are packed on the weekends.

Be good to see some out of towners coming in. Maybe the last I see you guys for a long time.

I'll try to make it out to Yard house this Saturday. It will be great to meet some other TL owners around here.

I'm doing my first ever Autocross in the TL this Sunday...Should be interesting throwing this 4,000 lbs boat around the sea of cones.

Any rec's on starting tire pressure? I was thinking 38psi then backing down from there.

I just want a stiffer sidewall so I don't role to much rubber of the wheel.

I'm not expecting anything near corvette speeds. However I think it would be fun to trail brake around corners in a stock sedan and get to know some of the cars habits

Honestly, I didn't mess with mine when I ran it and left it around 35 all around. My only issue I had with the car was the auto transmission not holding gears which got on my nerves. LOL!

Once you learn to get on the gas in the turns or the slalom more, it will make you faster and the car will want to rotate more due to the SH-AWD system.

guess what wifi connection IM logged into SA International Airport I'm flying to Colorado today I'm not sure when I'm coming back... My flight only shows to there & my hotel shows reserved for 5 & paid for 3?... Defiantly don't think I'm gonna make the service for Saturday Beezle but may be back in time for the meet?... I know what I have to do there just might take me more than one day to do it... But Beezle if you want to tentatively plan for Sunday I may be good for that?...I'll see about an early flight back for Saturday ...

Interesting...Mine holds gears when in Sport mode and I've activated the paddle shifters. I guess We'll test that limit on Sunday.

Seems like everyone is backing and have plans or not 100% sure if they're going.

For this to work, I'd need near certainty that x is coming. Would need to reserve a table at the Yard House ASAP.

Do you all want to do this meet Saturday or at another time?

If we can delay another week might be better. I am pretty sick right now so I am unsure how well I will be by then.

Also congrats to Champ for now taking over the SA chapter. Wish I could have kept it longer but due to personal issues I am unable to do it.
