haha i think we will be fine for getting everyone on. but we can just play it by ear.

ya i'm a lil said too cuz i was planning on inviting the prius club... :eekdance:

sboden 02-03-2012 12:41 PM

The Cruze guys may have already done that.......

tower74 02-03-2012 01:53 PM

Hey they might not get to dyno nut I think he just said we are running out of room.

edub370 02-03-2012 02:07 PM

If the prius's show, they take priority over ALLLLLLL :roflpuke2:

tower74 02-03-2012 07:48 PM

I would say the Cube's take that one or the element...which ever one can fit the most clowns in goes first.

DIGItonium 02-04-2012 07:25 AM

So far none of the guys I invited are looking for dyno time, but look forward to this cruise. Can you update my FB event?

Guess what? I ordered an MBC with my Amazon gift card. I got it for answering survey for Philips Lumileds haha. Hope to get it installed in one or two weeks.

tower74 02-04-2012 10:51 AM

Hell I'm still hoping the CF Amuse Body kit comes by then....starting to wonder.

ZKraken22 02-04-2012 11:18 AM

Wow your kit hasn't came? was it not in stock when you ordered it?

tower74 02-04-2012 01:14 PM

That's what I could of swore he told me. I've tried calling and emailing but still no response...gonna have to hit Jamaica @UAM up and see what's going on.

sure thing! are u just going with a standard ball and spring mbc? although simple and old tech, the are extremely reliable for how cheap they are. been running one in my volvo in line with my 18psi tune for the last couple years. cost me $20 and has worked flawlessly

DIGItonium 02-04-2012 02:56 PM

Yup... Hallman RX Pro with ceramic ball. Heard good things about it.

edub370 02-07-2012 10:44 AM

OP updated with cruise locations in case anyone gets seperated along the way

tower74 02-07-2012 11:41 PM

Or just look for the big as$ line of imports.

edub370 02-08-2012 07:45 AM

erkthejerk73 02-08-2012 09:03 AM

edub370 02-08-2012 10:28 AM

Grab a couple guys from OH and carpool here

sboden 02-08-2012 12:23 PM

Again at this time I don't get off work until 2, so unless I get someone to work for me I'll be there later.

it would be fun, but I'm out of town 4 days a week every week, and that is basically the last thing i want to do on my weekends is go back out of town. Plus the wife does miss me and i let her :nutswinger: , i hope you all understand my dilemma

:icon17:

sboden 02-08-2012 01:20 PM

That really erk s me :eek:

tower74 02-08-2012 05:39 PM

Trust me...I know. I travel for 6 weeks at a time. Sucks donkey balls.

edub370 02-12-2012 05:59 PM

So are u gonna be able to dyno tower?

tower74 02-12-2012 07:00 PM

yeah...still trying to figure out the check engine light. Looks like the spark plug is the next thing to replace and that doesn't fix it then when I've got the car torn apart I'll dig into it and check the fuel injectors.

edub370 02-12-2012 07:28 PM

Try switching to a step colder plugs. Maybe also try regapping them a lil closer. Lil trick the volvo guys use when running high boost to prevent spark blowout and missing

Gonna try it...still wondering what if any of the STS part they installed. I'm curious if they installed the oil cooler. Looked like the stock only. Really everyone avoid Excetive. Finding all sorts of problems with the install.

edub370 02-12-2012 08:46 PM

should be able to look thru the fron of ur grill and see the oil cooler. if u are unsure u can post a pic. should be pretty obvious tho

tower74 02-12-2012 09:43 PM

Had the car up on the lift yesterday and seen it....was little like the stock ones.

edub370 02-13-2012 08:45 AM

we dont have a stock oil cooler tho do we??

sboden 02-13-2012 08:58 AM

Nope

edub370 02-13-2012 09:04 AM

thats what i was thinking.

anyways, how bout this weather?! great for Z's... not

OP updated with a couple more cars. looks like this is going to be a great event. hopefully the car gods bless us with nice weather

This is why you need to get your cable back from them, you could use it to get the check engine light code and find the issue.

wonder what else they didnt decide to put on? :p

tower74 02-14-2012 01:11 PM

Trust me I wandering myself. The more I look at the install the more I want to burn down their shop. I was going to send it after the march 3 meet but it might be a little bit longer. Just has to be done before Branson Z Fest.

erkthejerk73 02-14-2012 01:21 PM

would love to have ben there at your install and the tech says look they sent us extra parts!

tower74 02-14-2012 11:08 PM

I wouldn't really call them techs. On use to be a plumber....

edub370 02-15-2012 09:59 AM
