I had to cancel the Casa De Grambo meet last month. I will try and put it together in October. We started with like 20 RSVP's then it dwindled to like 5 cars.
Your on the list man.

 

Eww Rotas, are you kidding me??? <3 your car bro, keep up the good work.

What all does the Aqua piece do, I don't get it

Diggin that Aqua hood latch protector! How is it that I haven't seen you around Tracy at all?!?

 

Its acts like a guilliatine when you knock your hood prop out while wrenching and cuts your head off. LOL
No, it is an absolutely useless piece. Unless you want to keep you hood latch really clean? I have no idea. All show and no go man...

I dont know how I haven't seen you either. Usually I'll catch a glimpse on a weekday at around 630-700 on Grantline when you roll through and I am at 7-11. You live way across town though dont you?

 

Yup I'm right by that new park in Edgewood (the one with the roller hockey rink and the mini skatepark). With my daughter in summer break I've been leaving later around 8:30 to spend more time with our 16 month old.

Hey btw I've been chattin with Peleg and he mentioned he could probably swing a deal on his detailing services if we were to have a casa de Grambo GTG and help pitch in with the work...something to think about!

Ha! I need to visit that park! Its tough to go to the big park with my 9yr old with all the gang guys and pot heads out there. Not to mention that these kids can actually have an entire conversation only using the F-word. Not really a family atmosphere there. Good job on the schedule change. Kids are worth all the sacrifice.

Any way, keep an eye out on IWSTI on NorCal Chat. I am trying for October while the weather is nice to have Casa De Grambo Part Deux Redeux. LOL It simply depends on $$$ at this point. We are going to SafariWest that month and it is VERY expensive.

 

Yup, I know exactly what you mean about the lowlifes that hang out there. Last summer there were a bunch of them hanging out by the rink when one of their brainiac friends decided they'd drive by and say hello to them - and proceeded to hop the curb in their Suburban, driving like an idiot across the grass, WITH family & kinds all around the park...too bad the cops didn't show up in time...

 

Yeah. We go on Sunday mornings to avoid having to join a gang or enjoy some Cheech and Chong action.

 

I'll have to keep an eye out for you, since I'm only about 2 blocks away (on Maison Lane). I'm usually up early on Sunday working on the lawn or the front yard. Look out for the skinny Filipino dude in the grey house with the portico.

I need to Google your neighborhood. I'd rather come over there than go to the big skatepark like we usually do. I just dont like my boy around all the cussing and teenage stupidity.

What does that e-con do exactly?

 

It is an electronic dampening controller for the coilovers. The springs control ride-height. The dampening is controlled with stepper-motors mounted to the tops of the coilovers. They have 5 different dampening stiffnesses
The real PITA will be removing the interior to route the wiring. But I think it will look best done right.

Thanks for lookin'.

 

Hey did you make it out to the park this weekend? I didn't recall hearing any subies close by.

 

More updates:
Cusco CF Rear Tower Brace w/ V-brace

E-con Wiring Install day....



Too much beer involved to finish the engine mounts safely...


Christmas Lights!!! Yay...


Defis', center pod, lotek pillar and Tomei exhaust manifold kit on the way.
Spec-C roof vent and Chargespeed CF brake ducts in the brown trucks somewhere...

Good times.

 

Got popped bigtime by CHP so I am back to stock for now. Meanwhile I bought some Advans and some HKS Kansai Service goodies. Spec-C is supposedly enroute finally from Gruppe-S. Tomei header and up-pipe are wrapped and ready for install. I need to pull my rear fenders and roll the fronts:

Advans: 18x9.0 +29 offset

Hellaflush indeed.
My friend's car that the Advans came from:


I hate to see him leave the scene but, I reaped some fine benefits.
