[Greg86z28]

Did you post this on WSD?

[adamvann3]

Not yet. Think it would gain interest?

[Greg86z28]

Couldn't hurt right? I'll try to make it with the car but we'll see. I should at least be able to come and bs though.

[EVILUTION]

Probably be a pretty good turn out. I wouldn't mind checking it out if a group is up for a road trip.

[TurboE30ftw]

maybe? i got a buddy or two that goes to college there. they have a house that we might be able to crash at?

[Pointdsm]

i'm in, only a short 45 minute drive for me!

[devlish]

make sure you hit up the honda forums too... :-)

[adamvann3]

Feel free to post the event on other forums, all the contact information is on there. Should be a very good turn out. We are starting to get a lot of good feed back from car clubs and groups. You all should make it. Miller Park is just a quick 5 min drive away.

[Pointdsm]

Ok, i'm in! I won't start work till the following weekend(gunna suck for money, but oh well). Don't know about the autocross though, thats a little to much money for me, haha.

[adamvann3]

you want to send me a pm with your email address so we can send you information and directions. Also I will sign you up and get you a registration number for voting

[GLHottie]

I'll be in Milwaukee anyway, so I'll probably check it out. I live right down the road.

I'd offer to have people stay at my place but my apt is barely 600 sq ft. :roll:

Do you have more info on the autox?

[adamvann3]

Its being hosted by Milwaukee SCCA, I will see if I can find the link. You are more then welcome to come out and check it out.

[adamvann3]

Did I also mention that the show is on campus across from the biggest girls dorm, college girls :D

[adamvann3]

I guess pdsm, greg and I are the only ones that like college chicks

[Greg86z28]

I might not be making it. RSD is the 7th and FuroFest might be the 9th.

[Pointdsm]

Queer, you would go to RSD and play with sheep over college girls.

[adamvann3]

I might not be making it. RSD is the 7th and FuroFest might be the 9th.

Well thats ok because the show is on the 8th. Right in between.

[adamvann3]

ptdsm, you still coming. We have a spot for you.

Also, anyone else?

[EVILUTION]

Ended up being a Reserve weekend for me. I'll be in Green Bay.

[Pointdsm]

Yes, i am still coming. Do i have to join the car show? My car isn't show worthy at all, with how many bugs we have down here and me driving a shit ton lately i have quite the zoo on my car right now.

[adamvann3]

Over all awesome show and great weather. Heard auto-x at miller park was a good show to

[TomKat]

Damn there was some nice stuff there.

[EVILUTION]

PDSM..... please.... please take the shoe polish off your windows!

[devlish]

PDSM..... please.... please take the shoe polish off your windows! why? he's a racer! those prove it to all the hunnies down at UWW! (or wherever he is)

[Pointdsm]

Evil, its fucking called i'm lazy and busy. That was from GLD, if you didn't notice, my car is covered in pollen and has never been dirtier than it is right now. I don't give a shit, i'll clean it this fall when i put it away for winter.

[Pointdsm]

At least i go to events!!!!!!!!

[VPT]

At least i go to events!!!!!!!!


OHHHHH he has got you there!

[devlish]

At least i go to events!!!!!!!!


OHHHHH he has got you there!
and i care why? i'd still take the whole 15 seconds to clean it off.

i had TONS of time on weekends when i was in school. but now that i own a house, have a child, run a business... time is of more importance to me now. sure i like going to these events still... but i don't always have time. i would have liked to have gone this weekend to MF, but i'll be in ATL. you can't fit everything in every weekend... i have other priorities these days. (one of those priorities would have been to clean the letters off though :lol: )

[Pointdsm]

We were talking to Evil.....

[EVILUTION]

^^ We?

You need the practice I don't.

[devlish]

^^ We? & VPT

ahh well, i don't go either really.

[Pointdsm]

So, are you ready to race TK then if you don't need practice anymore?

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

i wish evil would race me. :(

[EVILUTION]

So, are you ready to race TK then if you don't need practice anymore?

I've been racing TK for years. Considering he always runs R compounds and I run street tires I think I do quite well. Not sure where you are going with this. I recently called him out to a street tire vs street tire battle and he accepted. I would expect this to take place at Shawano or BHFs.

Hmmmm.... you don't want to call me out so you want me to run TK but you want me to run TK in Extreme's car at the Marshfield autox knowing that I don't like orange cone events. LOL.

i wish evil would race me. :(

I've also agreed to rematch you at BHF's but apparently that isn't good enough. Maybe we should battle at Shawano as well.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Maybe we should battle at Shawano as well.

GRRRR, ok the last Shawano lapping day i originally did not plan on going until evil challenged me in a cat/mouse chase at Shawano, so a day prior to the event, i changed my mind to go. I prep my car, put new pads on, load it on the trailer and off I go early that morning. I get there, come to find out Evil is a NO SHOW!!!!

[EVILUTION]

Your memory is about as reliable as a DSM..... At least you got a trailer for the dsm. Too bad you can't put a new head on your shoulders.

As far as I know I haven't been challenged at Shawano.

Dizmm and I have started and will finish our chase at BHFs.

Sounds more like I have been challenged by Tomkat not Dizmm.

Should have done that sooner. Car currently has no turbo in it. Sold the hotside yesterday.

You never called me out. Tomkat tried to get me to attend at the last minute but I had already made plans to be out on the water. Your race lineup was the EVO8.5 (TK) and EVO9 (MOSS) not me.

I would love to find where you said you will be attending the July 22nd Shawano lapping day, But i beleave you edited that post.

[Pointdsm]

Evil did say he was going to attend that event, i remember it as well. I would love to challenge you next year Evil, but i want to see what direction my car goes over winter before i make that move. How i will race though, will either be on R-compounds, or shit all seasons. Why spend the money for decent track tires?

Speaking of, how much are those BIG propane heaters, for a garage? Does anybody have one i can borrow and just buy the propane? I want to actually work on the car this winter and not have to go in 15 minute stints like last winter.

i got a 75,000 btu propane heater. heats my insulated garage in about an hour.

[devlish]

my guess is... anyone that has a propane heater has it for a reason... becuase they use it! Fleet Farm usually has a sale on them about this time actually... can get a decent one for under $100. not a bad investment if you're going to working in the garage on your car.

you can also get the bulb type that mounts on top of a small tank (gas grill tank) that emits no fumes. use the bigger propane torpedo heater to heat the garage, and the bulb style to keep it warm without killing your brain cells as much. i have one of the bulb style. works great for maintaining temps at close range.

biggest factor in all this is size of garage and insulation. i've seen people tarp off a smaller area to heat that only.

good luck. my cars will all be inside a 4,000 heated facility this winter. about 75 feet from where i'm sitting right now! i should have enough room to do any needed work! :lol:

[EVILUTION]

I may have started the thread about Shawano but I never planned on attending. In fact I don't really care for Shawano either but I would go if it would stop the crying.

Would you be interested in a game of chase at full track Autobahn event?

I am always game for an racing against evil. i want to see evil at more auto related events.

[EVILUTION]

Evil enjoys autoracing events but prefer's paintball over racing. If the race is on a Sunday odds are Evil will not be attending.

This is also true for events scheduled on the first holiday free full weekend of the month as Evil has reserves.

Evil would prefer to attend non-racing group activities but rarely hears about said events.

[devlish]

Evil would prefer to attend non-racing group activities but rarely hears about said events. yeah, i noticed you didn't make the labor day cookout either. huh.

[Pointdsm]

The insulation in my garage sucks, but i don't need it to be hot in there, just 55-60 degrees. I plan on doing alot of work this winter, including possibly some pretty trick subframe work.

[devlish]

it's takes quite a bit to heat a 2car garage to 55-60 with crappy insulation. good luck with that.

what kind of trick subframe work?

[Pointdsm]

There is some guys on tuners that might be making tubular crossmembers and such, I am all over that if they actually do it. Also, i need to figure out my front camber issues and my rear toe issue(its frozen in place, so a adjustable bar might be in order.

[devlish]

have VPT weld you up some crossmembers. probably cheaper, and he'll make sure they are more solid and fit your car wherever you'd like them.

i've thought of doing that myself for my GLH. but my first goal is to get the f*cker driveable for more than a month at a time. then i'll worry about VPT crossmembers.

[Pointdsm]

Hmm, never thought of that. Well, i'll have to look into it once i can crawl under my car and see what it all looks like. I know VPT could probably make my rear toe arms, but the front bars might be a little more difficult. I also want to figure out how to get front camber, can anyone help me out on that one?

[devlish]

buy a camber plate kit.

i'm sure VPT could do the front ones as well. he's a pretty crafty guy i hear.

[Pointdsm]

Camber kit is $$$.

[EVILUTION]

^^ Normally simply lowering the car will allow for more negative camber.

For a weekend warrior like yourself you only need -2* up front. How much are you getting now?

[devlish]

For a weekend warrior like yourself you only need -2* up front. How much are you getting now?

for a daily driver, i think -2' is even more than neccessary. i have my omni at -1.25' becuase i don't want to kill my tires on the street so much. -2' is a pretty aggressive street setup in MY OPINION.

[EVILUTION]

Camber doesn't kill tires.

[devlish]

it doesnt help though.

true, it doesn't kill them toe in/out would... but still.

[Pointdsm]

I get practically 0 camber up front. Lowering the car doesn't help 1g's camber issues, it effects the rear alot though. Hell, my camber might even be positive up front, it looks weird. Suspension is definatly going to change for my car this winter. Coilovers will help too:)

[VPT]

Camber doesn't kill tires.

Curbs kill tires.

[VPT]

VPT can hook you up with anything you want. We may even be able to work out some camber for a guy.

[fordssuck]

camber doesent kill tires, I KILL TIRES!!!

[Pointdsm]

Sounds good, can you grind out the strut holes to get some camber?

No grinding because that would make the struts weak and sloppy but I can do something.

[Pointdsm]

Ok, we'll figure something out, i won't be home till about mid-october though, but when i come back home, i'll let ya know.

[EVILUTION]

You can grind out the strut and use a camber bolt or you can grind out the strut mount and slide the top in.

[Pointdsm]

I want to grind the strut mount(lower), and slide the bolt.

[devlish]

I want to grind the strut mount(lower), and slide the bolt. not a great idea. makes for a loose slut, i mean strut

[EVILUTION]

^^ The EVO uses a slotted lower strut bolt hole and camber bolt to adjust camber.

http://forums.evolutionm.net/showpost.php?p=3147474&postcount=12

[devlish]

so does my omni. and it's reinforced too. but struts that aren't built that way shouldn't be hacked to work like that. that is my point.

edit: btw... need to log in to view pics. sorry i cant see

[Pointdsm]

Not to get TK in trouble, but he recommended this to me :? .

[VPT]

:shock:

[TomKat]

I want to grind the strut mount(lower), and slide the bolt.

You don't grind the knuckle you grind the strut. This works and some manufacturers recommend this techinque. I'd have to check if this is recdommended on a DSM. This won't allow a whole lot of adjustment though.

[Pointdsm]

Hmm...should i just save money and get camber plates?

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Hmm...should i just save money and get camber plates?

BUY camber plates. if they made them for 2g's I'd be all over them. I would love to be able to have adjustable camber that is easier than putting gas in your car.

[TomKat]

Camber plates would be the best way to adjust it.

[adamvann3]

so that car show huh
