    Monte

    It would be great to finally get the car out of the body shop and drive it up there but it maybe a little out of place with the other cars. Besides I am coming up to turn wrenches on your car. :naughty:

    Phone Call

    I just got a phone call with good news. Looks like the car maybe back in my hands by March 25th. The body shop is finishing the car today. Monday or Tuesday is the clean and buff. Then it goes to the trans shop for final test drive/adjustments and it will be ready to pick up.

    Alex,
    I don't have a current picture after this paint job. I do have a few picture that look good from before but I am unsure how to post it.

    I'll host

    Hey everyone. If you folks don't mind driving to Athens, I've got a huge lot in front of my shop. Probably fit 45 cars. I've got a good shop compressor with plenty of air line. No worries from cops or neighbors. I own Tarmac Motorsports, and this is where it would happen. I've got full welding and fab equipment there. I'd be willing to weld up small jobs, like cracked exhausts, etc. I won't provide tools, though. No exceptions there. So, everyone bring your own. Maybe I could get some girls from the university out for a carwash!!! Say the word...

    We'll be in touch soon good sir.
     
  12. Actually either weekend would work for me..... I need to go get a baseline run on the STi :)

    Actually, for the sake of honesty, I must confess. I do not have the required pimpness for the Universi-titty car wash...

    And, I'm sure my better half would castrate me in the dark!

    That said, the offer holds.

    So, what's up with this? Are we doing it? I have an UP to install, and my buddy Rich, The tC Guy, needs guidance on his CAI install. We're trying to get it done before the next auto-x. Is it going down or what folks. Beer, sun, beer and wrenching cars.....

    my friend just put he injen on his tc.......he said you have remove the wheel and inner fender then from there its a breeze.

    As it turns out, I really dont think this is going to happen. I at least cannot make the 15th, something has come up :(

    Now, if someone would like to spearhead the event and get it rolling again that would be excellent. I have been trying to talk with racefab, who so generously offered us his shop in athens but I have not heard back from him. Until I do, we officially have no place to hold this.

    Sorry Alex.

    I responded to your PM, but I guess you didn't get it. I'm fine with hosting the install. No worries there. I don't have a grill, though. I have enough room for 25 cars easy, more would prolly have to park across the street. No burn-outs in the parking lot, no oil on the ground... but I have a waste oil container. Just a humble little warehouse space, don't expect too much!

    thank you... could u post directions to your location... then we could talk about dates

    I'm on the north side of Athens on 441. Take 316 to the 10 loop north/west. Take the loop to the Commerce Rd./441 exit. At the bottom of the ramp, turn left. Around 2 miles and you'll see a Citgo gas station on the right. Slow down, get ready to make a right into the parking lot. Just past Citgo, there is a Maxxis Tires sign on the right. Pass the sign, turn right at the next driveway (not into the tire store), there is a turn lane. My unit is #207, halfway down on the right. Look for the blue door with the chrome on it. No sign.

    I am going to Vegas for a wedding on the 18th, and weekends are best for getting together. So the 15th/16th would be best for me. Other weekends can be discussed, if that one doesn't work...

    Are we still on for the 15th of april or are you guys debating the date? I would be good for an athens install too.

    I am calling racefab today to finalize everything. Expect details soon.

    Racerfab New Member

    Leave a message if I don't answer. I'm building headers right now and the chop saw is loud! And don't call before 10am! No one in their right mind is up before 10...

    Not that I'm in my right mind either, but I am a night-owl!

    EDIT: I'm gonna need some help. I would appreciate it if anyone brought some tools (big jack, torque wrench, etc.) and would give me a hand.
