I am there man.. I'm going to see if I can convince the wife to bring her 3 also..

[BobbyT]

I will be there, maybe a little late. My daughter's first soccer game is at 1. But it is only 30 minutes. So I will meet everyone at Hooters. I will call Diehonda when I get there to see which table you guys are at.

[Diehonda]

I sent you a pm with my number.

[BobbyT]

Thanks

[Rey-ATCC]

Damm, sounds good but the wife already booked me for this weekend..

[BobbyT]

Friday night is not looking good for me either. Maybe Saturday but not sure.

Ill try, but its kinda out of her hands too!

[katsmp3]

i was told that we'll most likely be going to 4th street. pm me phon numbers and i'll call or text tonight

[Diehonda]

I am out for thursday and only have time for the meet on Saturday and then I have to go back to work. I have a custom shower to install this weekend that has to be completed by Monday morning. The plumber won't be finished until wednesday afternoon. Framing it thursday, putting the backerboard up and pouring the pan friday, trying to lay as much tile as possible saturday, hopefully finishing sunday.



Since I layed the tile in my house the builder has gotten rid of his tile guy and now I am the new one. I charge the same but I complete the work on time and install everything above code.

Did you know that a P5 can also substitute as a worktruck? Five sheets of durock, 200lbs of mortar, 9 cases of tile, 50lbs or grout. It is the Lowes coilover kit, getcha some.



Everyone still in for Saturday? I want a buffalo chicken sammich really bad.

[Kypatrick]

I wont be able to make it till around 330. So i just wont eat there, but i will still meet for the drive, or if we have time, grab a beer afterwards.
So count me in!

The Lowes coilover kit sounds pricey! Did u install it yourself?

[Diehonda]

Yeah, I install the kit every other week. It is a dirty kit though. I usually have grout, mortar, and bits or concrete board all over my carpet.

I met with the builder's wife last night and she has only ordered half of the tile. I am crossing my fingers that they can't get the rest this week and I can do the prep this weekend and have more time for the meet. Bad part is I have another tile job next weekend so I really need to complete this one this weekend. ugh

Here is a pic of the Lowes coilover kit: This one consisted of 17 cases of tile that was broken by the delivery guy.

Anyone running late can call me 502-298-8841 to see if we are still at Hooters or have left for Cherokee park.

Sexy phone voices are a plus.(naughty)(evil)

[Kypatrick]

^^ thats funny, i had just logged on to ask for a number so that i can call if im running late.
hey Diehonda, whats your first name?

[Diehonda]

James, but everyone else calls my Hey You.

[BobbyT]

I still plan on attending but I won't get to Hooters till 2:00 or 2:30.

When you click on a thumbnail in the gallery it will bring up a bigger photo. Under that is a link to get the original uploaded. Click that and it will give you the full size, full resolution photo. Get everything you guys want and enjoy them.

And Rey, those are some cool shots. I love the rolling shots, awesome.

One more thing Rey. You mind if Post that rolling shot of my car on Matrixowners so my buddies on there can see it? I'll host it so it doesn't eat your bandwidth.

(scratch)AZENZI? is that a camera setting?

[aMaff]

(scratch)AZENZI? is that a camera setting?

No, but it should be.

It's a tire. A really, really sticky tire.

[Rey-ATCC]

dont I feel like a (lurk)

[Diehonda]

The tires on Jason's P5. I remember him telling me about them. He says that is the only tires he buys after first getting them a few years back.

[jaredbzoom]

great pics guys nice to meet everyone. my pics post soon

[WRCprotege]

the ONLY tire to run if you want all out grip, for anything close to an affordable price.. :) james, great job on the pics..

[Rey-ATCC]

no wonder you where a bit apex happy on the route... Patrick almost lost it on the down hill portion...

[Diehonda]

Doesn't he have two close to bald tires though?

I was surprised that mine gripped as well as they did. I rarely drive agressive in turns. I hate my brake pads though. Ceramic FTL!!



Where are eveyone else's pictures?

[Rey-ATCC]

ahh!!, showing off...(rockon)

[Diehonda]

How bout the walkers that stopped to watch us come through? I got some head nods and a couple thumbs up.

[Rey-ATCC]

yes we did!! Oh by the way, just found out that I am not going to Drill Sergeant School to March... Good but bad thing. So, when is the next meet?
I heard of OHIOMAZDA3 has one going this weekend;in Ohio of course, thats a 5 hour drive by the address they posted. Any others?

[WRCprotege]

not with my ticking time bomb of a motor.. my luck, she will let go when im far away from home. lol rebuild time AGAIN.. you guys where lucky, we where going slow at the meet.. a little auto corssing will get you guys in shape to tackle the curves.. my frends and i meet up to go play on back roads a few times a month.. 20 min-30 quik back road blast, keeps you fast and ready for anything.. go easy for a while, like a cruze(learn the road)..pace it up 5mph for the next 5-10 times, pace it up again, 5 more.. so on and so forth..learn the road, good judgement, brake early, and if not sure, slow down, have fun those are the rules... anyways, next meet i will treat us to some go backroads, cruze pace but fun.. which is what it is all about..

[Kypatrick]

I'd be up for a lil midnite AutoX practice (need it so i can do better next year), prob should wait till i get tires tho. Hey what are the tires u guys were talking about? I was gettin estimates and Tires r alot more than i thought , from 565-609 for a set (Falken and Yokahoma). i was thinkin maybe 400 for them all.
Hey Rey, you might not be happy but its cool your orders got pushed back!
So, when is the next Meet??? I cant do anything for atleast a week, prob 2. Rey, you should bring the whole Active Trend gang next time, Mazda or not, we're friendly!

[jaredbzoom]

yokohama spec 2 are really sticky!!! Its hardto get any wheel spin..

[Rey-ATCC]

I got a good autox DVD that shows a bunch of preps and technics...
