Hooters next Wednesday? Anyone?

Hey Justin-
When are you going to get those skirts done?

03-26-2003, 01:28 PM
Well that all depends on the weather. I was going to try and get them done this weekend but from the sounds of it the weather isn't going to cooperate. I will probably shoot for next weekend. I got my touch-up paint from Husker last weekend. I should be all set given the right weather. I'll for sure give you a call on that cell number you gave me. I still need to change the oil too!!

I need to pull and scrape my oil-pan... and begin the long road to Power-steering delete... so maybe we do a group-think weekend at Badeers or maybe my brother's place.... lets think 3-4 weeks out adam.... maybe week after easter, the 26th of April??? that should give us more than enough time to locate all the tools and info that we need.

Dark Helmet
03-27-2003, 01:06 PM
Otherwise, Hooter's on Wednesday the 4-2-03 should be good... I have one "tenative" client appointment, but I don't think it will work that day anyway due to recent developments.

We'll need pics of the meet afterwards, of course... :D

April 26th is good for me as of now. I will have to check to make sure but that should work.

Adam - if it is nice next weekend I will be doing the sideskirts do you want me to give you a call?

Mr Project
03-27-2003, 03:15 PM
I'd love to host a "BMW Maintain-Fest" at my place, though that weekend of the 26th is a little shaky right now... might be out of town.

Off-topic, if anybody wants to see me get humiliated this Sunday (03/30), I'll be autoXing at SCC Lincoln, 84th and O. 11-4 or so. I'll be in the smelly triangle-powered car.

Armen-
hehe...too bad I won't be able to be there! good luck!

As for the "Let's all tear apart our cars and try to put them back together day" I could do that Sunday afternoon (April 27), but Sat. won't work...we'll figure something out....

Should we shoot for sixish on Wed.?

moonluv810
03-29-2003, 01:55 AM
I think I'm in. What time? Any time after 6 PM would work for me.

Mr. Project, I'll be in the area Sunday, I may stop by. What smelly car are you going to be driving?

A shot from last week's tech session at Stereo West:
(please ignore Jeff's butt) :)

Dark Helmet
03-29-2003, 07:54 AM
..hard to ignore a protrusion of that magnitude indi... anyone here with PS skills wanna try to remove the eyesore???? :D

6pm wednesday is good, beware, O-street and 70th are a little torn up, so a little patience and ingenuity will get you far.

for the locals: from the north: make the detour down to 66th street and go ahead and cross O street and wind around behind shopko to get there.

from the south: turn left of 70th at L street (Jiffy Lube) and take that till it dead ends, turn right, (followed by a forced left) to 66th, and then do the same thing and come in from behind shopko.

I'll try to get there a little early and snag a big table in front of FoxNews....

03-31-2003, 11:02 AM

Lucky deer... :-)

Jim.... informal saturday at Armen's place, informal friday at Jeff's place (4-6/7pm).

after that, I don't think that anything is planned, but maybe we can grill some brats next week if its nice.

I would assume that Armen's is a tech session? I know Jeff and Bruce are working on their babies Fri.

Mojo

Dark Helmet
04-03-2003, 03:50 PM
nah..... we're just working.

"tech session" implies that there is some method to the madness... unless you consider the whole 'side-skirt' issue a worthy learning experience...

I think we are having a REAL tech-session in 2 or 3 weeks when we are having "fluid flush day" diffs, trannys, motors, radiators... and maybe AC???? we're still looking to cement the location and whatnot on that.

moonluv810
04-03-2003, 04:07 PM
The pics didn't turn out too good. It was way way too dark. I'll post them up tonight. If Bruce wants to show off to his neighbors, he needs to get some lighting up in his driveway. And wassup with Sheridan and Jeff's ass???? This whole community is so screwed up! :D

Man, am I the only member from Omaha?

Dark Helmet
04-03-2003, 04:43 PM
Jeff and Bruce are doing front strut replacements. Jeff is at 3130 Jasper Court. they are fine on tools IIRC.

on saturday, I don't know if Armen has an air-ratchet, and I know that it would help... otherwise???? jack-stands are always good!

Adam - as an answer to your question about what we are doing at Armen's on saturday. I'm going to at least scrub the grey off the sideskirts. It may not be warm enough to spray the clear coat on though. I think it will be ok for a couple of days untill it hits 70 again. So I'm doing that and FINALLY changing my oil.

I put a new roundel on a few weeks ago too. It does help. Did you actually get corners for your car????

Jer - I may swing by tomorrow or if not I will see Sat. for the lights?? Does that work??

Dark Helmet
04-04-2003, 01:06 AM
I'll have them all ready to go when I get there saturday.

04-04-2003, 08:48 AM
Jer - Is that a plate I see on the front? Are you finally legal? :)

Yes, I have a reasonably beefy air impact wrench, though not one of the little ratchets... though that may change by tomorrow. :)

Nice pics! We could sqeeze Indi's Omni and my RX-7 in there to make your car look better, Jer. :D

Armen,

Jeremy has a plate on the front, but not on the rear (why???). So he's still illegal. :)

Yes, with my Omni, that thing would stick out like a sore thumb. :)

Sheridan,

Couldn't take a good picture of your car from the front. It's hiding behind Jeremy's ass (ah... here we go again, talking about asses).

Adam,

If you want, we can do a get together to detail your car. Figure with 4-5 people, we could wash, clay, polish, and wax in 3-4 hours max. This weekend is not a good time. Final Four baby!!! Next weekend will work better for me.

You guys have a good time this weekend!

Dark Helmet
04-04-2003, 11:38 AM
armen/indi... "legal" is subjective..... :D:D:D (welcome to life with lawyers!!) :awink

the rear plate is propped on the rear package shelf because I don't have the right allen-wrench to remove the stripped-out rusted-in screws in the rear-facia.

the countdows to HP has begun! FINALLY!!!!

and I really hope the weather clears up a little tomorrow... this crap SUCKS!

04-04-2003, 11:40 AM

I just found out that Meguiars doesn't sell their clay in bulk anymore. Unless anyone has a hookup, I guess Mother's clay kits sold at Walmart, Autozone, etc. would work fine.

You guys have not detailed a car until you have sanded a car. The finish you get when you wet sand with 4000 git, then polish and wax. Oh but the shine....

moonluv810
04-04-2003, 04:28 PM
Armen,

I could come over with couple of cans of spray paint. What color do you want? Fresh new paint won't need clay bar :D It worked on my Omni!

Jim,

With this kind of weather, it doesn't feel like a weekend.

Sher,

Can you sand cars with clear coat? Why would you wet sand your car finish, unless you have a really neglected finish? For stubborn dirt, bird droppings, overspray, etc, can you just use clay?

Mojo325is

I dunno, I always think that Griot's stuff is overpriced. They have some neat stuff, but pricey.
