ok guys, just looking for a date some time n the first half of the year. i figured we could do about two meets a year.

this sunday (3-29-09) is the import face off @ no problem raceway, i picked this date because the weather is usually awsome, and it a pretty good show of cars.

also im setting this as my date to have the car turboed and running some good numbers.


we could have a morning meet some where, breakfast, cruse to the track, set up some tents, BBQ, bullshit, have a good time! race, maybe put some cars in the show.


anyway post up if this is something youd want to do, or if there is something you'd want to do.

I'm in!
Keeping in mind that I haven't even fully planned out the next two weekends. LOL!!

But it's on the calendar early so that should make it much easier to make it happen.

Be a great place to show off my recenly purchased KYB AGX's, Tein springs, & Sonar projectors!
It'd be great to have a bunch of cars in the car show too.
Gives eveyone 3 months to wax and polish!

LOL... Malachi, what's that, 3 for 3??
I think we just need to keep talking it up.

There's always the chance "Life" may change my plans but I'm pretty sure I'll be there.
I got some of my parts installed this weekend so I'm Jones'in to show 'em off.
She's in SEVERE need of a wax, and I still need to install the dash cover and front bumper still.
Maybe I can get my Subwoofer box built by then too.
This event atleast gives me something to shoot for.

If you need any help with that bumper, let me know. I don't know a whole lot about cars, so anything that I can help with, I can learn from. When my friends painted my car, I didn't get a chance to help them with the new bumper or anything. Mine needs to come off so that I can put the inserts in right. I also need to get some replacements...they keep falling off.

well i orderd my turbo parts, so hopefully i can be putting down some serious power by that time!
 
#17 ·
HAH! I don't think mine'll be anywhere near show worthy by then. I'm going to have a little bit done, by then, but I'm embarrassed to open the hood. Not only is it bone stock, but it's dirty as shit, and I don't have the patience to actually try and clean it up. I think I'll have one of my photographers with me to take pictures of everything.
 
#18 ·
im going to put mine in the show, the "lets see who can take all the shit out their car show" show. lol


no, mine will hopefully be on the track kicking some ass!

BTW my stuff came in yesterday!

I'm thinking about putting mine in.
It'll take some work to get it good an clean though.
I used to have the engine really nice but it's been neglected.
And at the last Import FaceOff I went to people did both, show and track.

Haha, my friends are photographers. They had done all of the pics for my gigs, so that's just what I call them. It's actually my friend Jennifer and her boyfriend Max. Here's their Deviant art pages, and mine:
Max: prophetsound on deviantART
Jen: jaggedsoul on deviantART
Me: http://xanidus.deviantart.com/

I love both of their work. Jen's the one that had taken the picture of my car that I have posted up.

Yeah, Malachi. Car show contestants can only particapte in Test-n-Tune.
But, it's only $30 total if I want to do that.

And we get a discount if we have 5 cars in the show.
Looks like that won't happen.

Unless we can get some of those bulldogs at Tech to make friggin' road trip!
I would have dropped everything for a road trip when I was at Tech.
That's right. I"m calling you out AND questioning your man hood! :slap:

Ok, Max is coming with me to take pictures. I'm paying him a little, so if you want your own pics, you can throw him a little bit of money, and he'll edit them and send them to you no problem. He doesn't charge much at all, and this is the only way he gets paid, so I hook him up most of the time.
 
#31 ·
Very cool. You'll have to give us an idea of what "a bit of money" is.
I don't want to insult him.


Xanidus, what are you doing Sunday?
I'll be replacing front bumper at some point on Sunday.
I'll be over at my buddies at somepoint changing it out and you're welcome to come swing by so we can meet face to face.
 
#32 · (Edited)
That night I'll probably be practicing for the 30th, but nothing durning the day. Sounds like fun. I should have my projectors in at my friends house, so we're putting those on tonight.
I'll see what Max wants to charge. I don't know exactly what he'd have in mind, but he charges me fair rates. I don't think that's insulting him at all...
 
#33 ·
Cool, PM me your cell (and real name) and I'll give you a call when I go over there on Sunday.
I'm hoping it'll be fairly early but I've got a 2 year old and a pregnant wife so planning is very moment to moment. :)
 
#36 ·
Hey, guys.

My car is stock and has a banged up fender (not hideous). I don't want to misrep LA 3G, and I wouldn't be trying to compete, but I'd love to turn out. Am I welcome?

I plan on being there but I too will not be entering anything.
I got a little paint cancer on the spoiler and rock chips on the hood are horendous.
I was planning on getting new paint before the meet but then I got laid off so that went on the back burner.

But let's meet somewhere and drive over there !!
