GA Meet - The Meet that Might Actually Happen (??)

[MoonScryer]

I don't know, just throwing it out there. Anyone oddly interested for sometime the first week in January? I don't know what is happening, honestly, just tossing this to the wind to see who bites.

[Roofio]

where, what date??!!!when you get the 411 give it to my boy ninja2571!!!

[MoonScryer]

There is no 411 yet :P This is just to see if anyone wants one in the next couple of months, given how the weather is....next?

[87AccordsterLx]

well I am up for it if the weather is permiting... Its colder then shit right now 35deg. and its only 9:45 PM its supposed to get into the high 20's tonite.... Im in though... Jan is cool.

[GDGuy11B]

[dhcarss]

Yea why not, I came last time but nobody showed up except for moon... :lol

[87AccordsterLx]

hey.... :D you said that you had to go to ATL to pick something up.. didnt you guys meet there??? You guys didnt meet at the park did you?

[MoonScryer]

No, we met down south of the city some on Wesley Chapel, about 1 hr drive for you, depending on the way you take.

[87AccordsterLx]

oh ok... lol... damn... well lets get this going again... the weather sucks right now but we can work something out...

[carlessNcareless]

well hell i have NO idea what ill be doin so ill just throw my name in the fish bowl..maybe we could actually meet up and accomplish something? maybe theres a car show somewhere??

[MoonScryer]

No real car meets right now. With the weather like it is, they don't really happen. We will just have to pick a weekend in Jan and pray.

[Chrome_thangs]

Once again i'll say: Ya, i'm down, where at?
Will it really happen this time?

[GDGuy11B]

South of Atlanta if you can please...

[tightwhitelx]

oh im down yall know tha tightwhite is always down

[dhcarss]

Hey you know Birmingham is alittle south of Atlanta, sounds like a good place to me.. :D haha j/k..

[87AccordsterLx]

haha.... well I dont mind driving down past ATL... make the time, date, and place.... and we'll pray...

[87AccordsterLx]

any ideas?

[MoonScryer]

*burp*

idea: I need to move back to Atlanta. I need a job. I need to get out of THIS MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!!!

[87AccordsterLx]

damn Jay whats with the reality check? lol... I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere when I moved from one of the largest cities in the world (Los Angeles) to ... well.. HERE.... but its not that bad now. Home is where you want it to be. So are we going to meet soon? Im starting to let my 3g deteriorate and I need some motivation... :D

[Chrome_thangs]

i'm down when ya'll want!

[MoonScryer]

Yeah, major reality check. When the LAN Admin job went, I had to move back in w/ my parents so i could go to school. It's north of Atlanta by an hour and a half from where I used to live.

Yeah, we are meeting soon, sometime in January seems to be the consensus.

[carlessNcareless]

dammit jay, get an apartment with justin, hes 19 now and needs to get the hell out of his parents house

[87AccordsterLx]

I think he's saying that he cant afford to live on his own... is that what you ment?

[MoonScryer]

For right now, yes. The funeral homes really won't hire you until after first quarter of school, so they know you are serious. I'm now into second quarter, so I should be able to find work. I'm waiting til after the new year until I look.
I just keep my mantra in sight while living here "free rent...free rent..."

[tightwhitelx]

ok im just throwing this out there but how about jan.3rd for everyone that gives micah time before he has to go back to school.

[carlessNcareless]

um...can this be a worthwhile meet? no offense but im not going if its a bunch of us standing around in the cold for a couple hours talking about cars....i know that osunds like a thrill to some people..but not worth takin off owrk for to me..anyone got any ideas??

[GDGuy11B]

Hey jay, i think me you and Justin should find a 3 bedroom place and chill and talk about cars all day long! hahah

Micah

[MoonScryer]

You going to pay for it? That kind of house rents for $800 minimum around anywhere, usually $1,000. As of yet, I'm still unemployed, so it's your call :D

[87AccordsterLx]

I wont be here on the 3rd... I will be driving back from Louisiana in the 3g... I can probably go on the 4th... but ya school starts on the 6th so...

[MoonScryer]

School starts on the 6th for me, and next week is bad, so no dice kids. Oh well...

[tightwhitelx]

what about the 25th?

[GDGuy11B]

count me out....sigh.

[87AccordsterLx]

*bump* are we going to meet sometime? Any weekend would work really... I have to guys locally that are trying to start up a club so if you guys want to meet up Im sure they'll come...

[88mirror]

Whats up? I'm from Kansas City and my car club is going to Florida on May 29th and we will be passing through Georgia... maybe some of us can meet up then? I think there is chapter of my car club in Georgia. We are called Screet Ho's. We put on USAC every year in Kansas City. I also heard that the cars in the Georgia chapter of Screet Ho's weren't any good, but anyway i was just wanting to meet up with some other 3geez members.

[87AccordsterLx]

Time / Place and we'll see what we can do... What have you done to your 3G?

[88mirror]

I am going for more show than go... my car has new charcoal gray paint, 15" chrome rims (will be upgrading to 17's soon), sprint springs, customized a single windshield wiper, mirror tint, white H embles, exhaust, painted tailights (i will be shaving the taillights and doorhandles this summer), 6.5 LCD screen in the passenger sun visor, white velvet in the door pannels, i will also be getting 2 tone Katzkin leather and white carpet this summer... it recently snowed here and i was driving down a 2 lane road and slid off into the ditch so my front bumper is falling off a bit but i can get another one for $20 so no worries there. I'm hoping there will be a good looking ground effects kit to come out soon. As i mentioned before, I'm more for show than go but if some of us can meet up i can get some good ideas on engine performance. Mine is carbuerated so it's a pretty slow machine.

[87AccordsterLx]

mines carb and she pulls pretty hard for a 3g... dont under estimate the performance of these cars. If we get a chance to meet I'll let you see what a few performance mods can do to a 3G... for now... flip the lid on the carb's air cleaner... and screw it on upsidedown. You may need to take the grommets out and take the wing part off of the wing nut just leaving the bolt... and screw it back on...

[88mirror]

Thanks for the info! A couple more questions... My idle is a little jumpy and i was wondering if it's because i have really nice upgraded spark plugs? Someone told me that it can have that kind of effect on a car. One more thing, where can i find a camber kit that isn't very expensive?

[87AccordsterLx]

describe jumpy.... that could mean a lot of things but I really doubt its your plugs man... I have a set of NGK 8mm plugs and my idle is fine. As far as the camber kit just pull a set of upper controll arms off the front af a 2nd gen prelude. They are adjustable and you could pull them from a junkyard for next to nothing... for the rear ( it should be ok as is ) I have sprint springs too but I havent put them on yet, just have a local mechanic space them out with some washers and you should be fine. Post a thread in the Suspension section about upper control arms and you will get a much more detailed description on how that works... Do you have any pics of your car?

[88mirror]

Thanks, Yes, I took some pics of my car and will be getting them up on here soon.

[87AccordsterLx]

right on... are you going to try the fliped lid?

[88mirror]

If your talking about the trunk lid... no, i am in the process of fiberglassing an LCD screen on the underside of my trunk so when you open it, it will be shown.

huh??? No in one of my previous posts I mentioned fliping the lid or your carborators air fliter box... look at the pic of my engine... wait a sec I'll photo chop it so you know what I'm talking about...

[87AccordsterLx]

ok if you see where the arrow is pointed... thats the air filter for your carborator which sits just under the air filter... if you flip the lid on it (take the clamps off, poke the rubber grommets out, and take the wing part of the wing nut off just leaving the bolt) you will hear the engine breath much better and the car will have a nice pull to it... less lag... give it a try its free and its the alternitive to having intake on a EFI ...

[88mirror]

Thanks for the idea, i did it and it works pretty good. Another question... my car used to shake really bad (in drive) when i would stop so i got new motor mounts and it stopped shaking for a while, but it's doing it again and i haven't had the new motor mounts very long. What do you think the problem is?

[87AccordsterLx]

its your idle... same thing happened to mine... take your car in and tell then to adjust your idle and while they're in there have then adjust your timing and air/fuel mixture... tell them to give it more fuel now that your lid is fliped... but the shaking is your idle... have the fast idle around 2000 rpms and the resting idle (warm idle) around 800 rpms and that should stop the shaking...

[87AccordsterLx]

oh ya and tell them to slightly advance your timing...
