Just out of curiosity, snapshot, how much do you estimate your car is gonna weigh with that v6 in there?

The V6 weighs about the same as a 5s actually...

Reaaaally....

Very interesting.

[DEATH]

should be less than mine

???

There's your answer Panda. The 3S is similar in weight but all the Turbo components add a massive amount to that. Add in the fact that he has a very nice aftemarket exhaust system and I have the super heavy log style manifold [altho my downpipe is nice and light]. My car should weigh in about 100lbs more than his. Mine has moonroof too [IDK about his]

[stephen_lee]

ya ppl imagine the v6 as a huge hunk of metal, but honestly, its not much bigger. engines are quite smll if you ever tear all the extra/useless crap off them

We have the same catback system.
Btw, what's keeping you from upgrading to a turbo sized system?

Actually I meant the headers you had made but the SP2 is rather nice and for now, at USDM stock or lower boost, I believe I'm doing alright. Flow doesn't feel like an issue yet. You can be sure once my gremlins are worked out I'll be going with a nice straight [as possible] 3" exhaust under axle and cranking the boost up to stock JDM. I'm pretty cautious when it comes to modding - stock feels so much better than GT right now anyway I can afford to be. The boost devil will tempt me soon enough - for now I gotta do what's right for my brand new engine.
Nice headers BTW

Gettin closer! who else is gonna be there friday, and what time?

[DEATH]

I'll be there but prob not till late. the Houston crowd is supposed to caravan together via 290 [I hope - full garage with lift and compressor at the halfway point for any unexpected complications] so there should be several of us.
Speaking of which: Houston crew we need to start planning the Caravan.
Panda - when do you expect your crew will be on this side of town to meet up for that [or are you planning on coming up Sat? in which case I'll amend my plans to roll with ya'll - would need to be early AM tho so we can get to Austin before Noon-ish]?
Man - i have so much work to do on the car before then

Confirmed:
1.) Zero07 Eric 210-584-2708
2.) DEATH
3.) Stephen_lee 361-648-8176

Haven't fcuked with them since I switched out the black housings for the ones they came with. My god you should see the amount of sh*t that is containe within that little mirror housing - all laid out it doesn't look like there is any way it could all fit but it was pretty straight forward for someone who is determined not to repaint [or has custom paint like me].
Everythings ready and I have a 12v signal coming from the switch for the folding but no relay to do the work converting that signal to the 4 wires coming out of the mirror itself. I gotta find one. I'm gonna bring a full set of tools and spare couplers etc. with me to the meet. Maybe we'll play with them there for a bit [I'm not big on golf but I could play with cars all weekend - hell that's what I do every weekend ].

We're plannin on going up there Friday. I was thinking around noon to 1, my normal operating hours. No real need to rush up there, it'll only take a few hours. But yeah, the houston crew could meet at the hooters we're going to this weekend, since it's open and should be easy to find.

[zero07]

Im with you on that golf thing, if you look up jdm pwer fold mirrors in exterior forums you can find a couple of posts with diagrams with and without relays.

[DEATH]

Link me please - I'm lazy and this search function isn't specific enough

[zero07]

So who all is bringin cameras, camcorders, etc.?

Spolski and i will be gettin to the hotel at around 3 p.m, hope to see some of you guys there shortly after!

All this talk and its finally here

[snapshotgt]

Update from me: I might be able to make it. I hear that its going to be about 10 days before she is done. It'll be very close if i do. Anyone want to do it the following weekend?

Nope, not going to be able to make it. The ECU was just sent off to be re-programmed. Its close, but won't make it. We'll do this another time. You guys have a good time and take lots of pics.

[zero07]

Hope everyones ready!

Man, my cars just gonna make it for the meet, im not gettin it out of the shop till saturday!

Cant wait.

[zero07]
