Voice59 09-21-2015 02:36 PM

Destin to visit my parents then down to Miami for a cruise! May end up leaving the Z in Destin and taking my old car down to Miami though to avoid the risk of door dings from a crowded lot.

Jsmith7861 09-22-2015 05:59 PM

So any ideas on what we'd like to do that day?

Gulfcoastgrl I'm sure we could do something later in the evening.

Sweet. Just let me know. Oh and by the way guys there is a meet scheduled for this Friday night at 8. 5007 Victory Blvd #120 Village Square Shopping Center Tabb, Virginia 23693 is the address of where it is being held.

Jsmith7861 09-23-2015 02:54 PM

What exhaust are you guys rocking? Looking for something a bit louder than stock for when I get back. I already have berk HFCs as well.

The real question is, how loud do you want to go?

Currently I'm running a Stillen CBE with Motordyne ART pipes.
Loud enough for me with no drone, nice tone and minimal rasp.

If I had to replace my CBE tomorrow I would give Motordyne's Shockwave CBE a go.

Voice59 09-23-2015 03:58 PM

I have an mxp right now. But there's a fast intentions on the way. Gonna be looking to sell soon.

gulfcoastgrl 09-23-2015 08:23 PM

Ugh. I'm pissed. I swear people do not know how to drive here. Had someone pull out in front of me while I was in 5th going about 45..me being fairly new to a manual transmission still had the first instinct of someone that is driving an auto and hit the brakes. Didnt stall but my ride before that was so smooth..now it's like I can feel everything and 5th/6th are a bit notchy every now and then. Wtf!? I'm going to have my guys at the shop drive it for me but anyone got any ideas or am I just being paranoid?

bkngo 09-23-2015 09:19 PM

Gulfcoastgrl, you maybe paranoid from the adrenaline... btw, did you get my pm about updating my Navi? I would like to do it tomorrow if the price is right... Nissan of Chesapeake and Norfolk is about $100-120 (they have to hook it up to a laptop and upload the new software) for the install plus $99 for the product key. they said I would have updated maps and be able to stream music via blutooth with the new updates (I have to use the 3mm jack to rca cables in the center console).

Jsmith7861 09-24-2015 01:11 AM

I was thinking ARK, it seems to be a bit louder than FI. An acquaintance of mine here has the FI with headers as well, and it sounded good, but not that much louder at all. A dude here on the forum wants to trade my stock + 900 bucks for his ARK.

You are probably just a bit paranoid, but you are very correct in that Hampton drivers are the worst...like ever. Ive lived in VA my whole life, and ive found once you get past Richmond onto 81, people magically learn to drive again.

Not much louder than stock? Wha? Something must be up with his set up.

Plus Hampton and VB is heavy military which mean there's drivers from all over. That's why when we get an inch of snow you find cars turned over in a ditch :confused:

Yeah, that's what I thought too. It was a while back, so he could have showed me prior to having the headers installed.

very true haha!

Im gonna freeze my *** off when I get home, it started consistently being in the 90's here and I am relieved haha.

Voice59 09-24-2015 04:35 PM

It's here.....

gulfcoastgrl 09-24-2015 07:11 PM

I think that I was pretty paranoid but notchy shifting is there still so I may just end up putting my powertrain to good use. There is no way what happened could cause a major tranny problem. Anyways yeah I've never been in an acident so I was pretty shaken up when I almost hit her. Thanks though guys!

Voice59 09-24-2015 08:21 PM

Fast intentions exhaust is here, which means I'll be having an mxp exhaust for sale shortly.

Sounds better...

If it weren't almost 2 grand id go for the MD as well.

Running4Mayor 09-30-2015 07:25 AM

So how are you liking your new exhaust Kai?

240se 09-30-2015 02:58 PM

For those of you who are active duty, TSCC is having a free Military only autocross on Oct 17 at Little Creek. The turnout will probably be small which will mean you should get a lot of runs.

I'm not military so I'm out but the location at Little Creek is nice because it's a very large area of clean concrete. At a regular autocross you would get 4-5 runs but I heard that last year people got 20+ runs at this event. I did one autocross with TSCC last year and everyone was very nice.

You can find out more at:
Tidewater Sports Car Club - Home

They have loaner helmets available. The autocross season is finishing up but I plan to do more starting next spring.
