4 cars will be dynoed with these new headers at next weeks meet.

Gonna be interesting to see the results.

I'm actually going to be at DSR tomorrow at 4PM since I can't make the Dyno meet. I'll be out of country that weekend.

I had my rear spacers put on last Sat., I saw ROMINL and a few IS's there. there was an Integra getting new struts for better handling and a modded 350Z getting some more work done.

The pace is picking up at EM and they're moving this weekend to their new pad.

I'm back at EM this Thurs. to do the front spacers.

Oh Man, my wheels look flush and actually the handling in the back improved a little.

so when are we going to have that Grand Re-opening at EM (their new location)?

my car will be there Thurs. 4/20 @ 10-12 to complete my front spacers. Finally, I'm so happy that I got these mods done in the last 6 months.

WALD kit
Eibach springs (dropped 1")
H&R spacers (front/rear)
new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S

And now I can rest for a while till I find a good price for an intake. more money to spend.

I shouldn't even gotten a Lex and joined this club in the first place.

But then again, I'm glad i did. I have to admit, this is my first modded car and I feel proud of the work done and the ride is much better compared to stock. hehehe.....

the grand opening meet at EM probably won't happen for a little while, i won't tell the reason though, let's just say it's a good one but i think it might not be a lexus meet anyway, since EM they do so much work on other cars including supra, z, and other toyotas

tee, stop complaining about the mone you spent. i have stopped doing my spreadsheet for both cars!

I reviewed this with John and Sandy today.

I have to sync up the meets that have already been planed with their availability.

We can't have 2 big meets back to back, plus we are contemplating having a mega meet with other Toyota , Supra, etc.

It's really up to Exact how it will turn out.

Stay tuned

Current target is the 3rd weekend in May, but that could all change.


Believe me I have been discussing their meet for 3+ weeks now.


Stay Tuned

Rominl,

yes, you are right, I complain too much. I'm over it now. Let's move on and upward.

Yep, once a month meets. good excuse to get out of the house and enjoy the nice weather (it's about time).

While I was waiting at EM today for my car, I noticed that after they were done w/ the job, they took it for a test run to make sure that everything was working 100% before they turned the car over to the customer. I was very impressed w/ their QA and rest assured that I would feel confident driving the vehicle w/out any doubts about the work that they've done.

They'll be closed this weekend and the next couple of days due to re-location. They deserve the days off and some R&R. So if you are planning to do some work this weekend, it's best to call ahead of time to double check their schedule.

hahaha, i think the next couple of days are worse than normal days for them to setup the new shop

anyway, yes, they do test drive on cars that have certain stuff done. my friend that day (he had his corolla serviced) also asked why john had to drive the car in and out. when i explained to him, he was so impressed

and if you have someone done there, but you got problems afterwards, give them a call and they will look at the problems asap to help fix it!
