[moxie]

ryan, come help me fix my rear sway bar before sunday! sounds like its ready to fall off :lol:

I was wondering if it might be hitting the exhaust?

We can probably do it this week...

Wed is bad though, cause we are gonna go see bruce campbell at center point.

How bout thurs or Friday?

[wgnths]

either day is good....say hi to bruce for me. and i dont know what its hitting...and i think one drop down bracket is looooooose.

[pickinicholas]

i think one drop down bracket is looooooose.

Kinda like you eh?

[moxie]

How much are those new brackets at surge?

They look sturdier...

Or if yours is loose we can get a bunch of lock washers from Lowes...
And some anti back out...

They are around 1 hunny.

[wgnths]

yeah the new perrin brackets look much better...we'll see what we can do first. the passenger side is just a bitch to get a wrench on.

[moxie]

even with the u joint thingy you have?

[wgnths]

well i didnt have that at the time, but it probably wont help. wait til you see where that stupid bolt is. :x

[moxie]

Stupid Subaru...

:(

[SDEWYZ]

So who will be there for sure in what car sunday??

I think we are going to come in the AM to watch a bit, Subie is gone, TSX still in shop, so just have the rental...... :roll: .

Want to be able to introduce ourselves to whomever is there. BTW how long does it take to get to Casa Grande from North Phoenix??

[moxie]

I will be there co-driving with bryan in his Blue WRX

The track us about 30-40mins from 60 and the 101 in mesa.
So maybe closer to an hour for you?

[Bphilly]

Moxie and I will be there in my car Blue 05 rexy. The race is in Coolidge, and its not too bad. Maybe 30 min for Ahwatukee so for you, maybe 45 to an hour

[wgnths]

i'll be there in my silver wagon...look for cars with 9&3 decals :) and bring shade/chairs...speaking of, is anyone bringing a small canopy by chance? its going to be really f ing hot. :cry:

[wrx222]

I'll be there with 04 blue Wrx, I actually went and priced those canopies, they're like $100! :shock:
unless you get the ghetto blue tarp with poles that you have to stake into the ground, which still works fine for shade but is a pain to set up, might as well bring a tent :lol:

Dave

[moxie]

Hmm, if you want I am sure we can borrow my families tent, but you will need to take it since I am not taking my wagon.

That cool?

[wgnths]

yeah, i may go out and buy one today? im in need of another one anyways, since mine flew over the wall into the neighbors yard :lol:

[1bad_ej20]

I'll be there in the CGM and the wifey in the Stealth Mode RS2.5. I think my homie James is coming too (Silver bugeye). We're going up the night before and catching a hotel. Also, I think I have a canopy. I'll solidify that before the end of the day.

[wgnths]

cool, shade is needed....and i will still be complaining im sure :)

[motorbreath]

i'll be there in my silver wagon...look for cars with 9&3 decals :) and bring shade/chairs...speaking of, is anyone bringing a small canopy by chance? its going to be really f ing hot. :cry:

i'll be there w/ black WRX (may or may not have front seats)

Bryan, I may actually ask to borrow your old seats just for tomorrow.

we'll have one canopy at least.

[wgnths]

nap time.......i'll post pics etc later tonight after i go see my lover Angelina in Mr and Mrs Pitt, i mean Smith.

[kev]

Congrats to Marion who layeth the smack down in NV1!

BooYaka!

It was hot but fun. I was glad to see a lot of 9&3 cars out there!

[Bphilly]

good tymes

[moxie]

I wasn't in last place.

And that is enough for me :)

Thanks again for the ride Bryan

[Ruiner77]

cant wait to see the pictures!

[wrx222]

Alright!, not last, I ended up 4th out of 5 :D

The RE092's are pretty much toast, the wife rode along and agreed I need new tires so hopefully before the next event I'll have some.

Dave

[Bphilly]

Did she shift for you Dave?

[wgnths]

kev can you fix my classing..i was running in asp or something i wasnt suppose to..and i am suckage. i must say, in just 3 runs Kev taught me sooo much. muchas gracias :D and i finally put my car to a real test for the first time and saw how it reacted to my horrible driving :lol: i need to work on braking harder, im driving like im on stock brakes still....need to use these brembos to an advantage. need to work on turning the car in sooner than i think, not brake in the corners, and smoother on the throttle...oh and learn to really look ahead to set myself up better in corners. thats about it. :lol:

[Bphilly]

Hey, you still beat me. :oops:

[wgnths]

beginners luck? you were right behind me! we didnt finish last though w00t! :lol: i was glad to ryan out there workin off the cobwebs!!!

[1bad_ej20]

fun times guys! you guys looked good out there, just gotta have fun and keep improving every run :)

[moxie]

I had an awesome time :)

reminded me why I used to get up early on Sunday mornings.

[wgnths]

yeah good seeing you out there joel, nice runs you had :wink:

[1bad_ej20]

thanks man, it was good to finally talk to you a bit. hope to see you guys out there next event.

[wgnths]

yeah we shall be out at the next one.....i had every intention of stopping over to say hi when i saw your car, but for some reason i never made it. running b and working d is t3h suck.

[kev]

The light bulb just went off in my head. Now I know who you are Joel. Never talked to you, but next time I'll introduce myself or feel free to find me first.

[kev]

Erin,

Once we get to PIR I have way more to show you! Fun Stuff, because I'm going to make you wag the ass out on the wagon. Your car has some serious power....I wish my car had that kind of acceleration.

[1bad_ej20]

yeah we shall be out at the next one.....i had every intention of stopping over to say hi when i saw your car, but for some reason i never made it. running b and working d is t3h suck.

all good man! i tend to zone out a bit before i run just trying to memorize the course anyway. really helps to know exactly what's coming next and how you want to take it.

[1bad_ej20]

The light bulb just went off in my head. Now I know who you are Joel. Never talked to you, but next time I'll introduce myself or feel free to find me first.

yeah, definitely say hi. it's always nice to be able to put a face to the screen name.

[wgnths]

kevs busy helping all the n00bs out there all day!! :lol: and yeah, thats the other thing i learned....my car really does have more power than i thought! i look forward to more lessons. :)

[kev]

Erin, you are in SM aka Street Mod now.

You wagon's power feels like an STi!

[wgnths]

thanky, and yeah well it should!!!! :D

[yepee]

This is the 1st chance I've have in a while to get on the boards....
I am glad you got out there Erin, I will be at the fall series, I cant wait! My car has been sitting in the garage a lot lately, (no place to park it at work without it getting f'd up) I hope to get some new r's by then, and I'll have to learn how to drive all over again :oops:

[wgnths]

yeah we miss you george!!!!! it was a good time, just too hot.

[F-This]

Man, I wish I could have been there! I was thinking about it the whole day! Soooo, what class is the frontier? :lol:


OK, really, I can't wait to take out the Z :twisted:

[yepee]

Kev... do you go thru Tire Rack for your tires or local? Who has the deals?

[kev]

I go through Tirerack for my race tires.

check out the sponsor's page of the azsolo2 website...non r compound tires = pretty good deal from discount tire direct :)

[yepee]

I am looking forward to getting back into auto xing, any suggestions on r's, I would like the Kumho V710's but....
Kev, we need to get together.... I have your torque wrench, etc, what do you want for the harness :?:

[kev]

I've got your trophy from the last series you ran in. It's an embroidered sweatshirt :P

Let's say $25 for the harness and you promise to compete in the fall series!

[wgnths]

and i have your tool bag!! remind me to bring it to you if i dont see you before the next autox.

[yepee]

I've got your trophy from the last series you ran in. It's an embroidered sweatshirt :P

Let's say $25 for the harness and you promise to compete in the fall series!
Hey I might need that sweatshirt...... in 5-6 months :P
I'll be at the fall series :D
I just need to find some time to install the harness :?
You'll probably need to show me how to drive again :oops:
