Ok, its about time I met everyone here in Texas. (I just moved here from Southern California.)
This Mod Party is right down the road from Flower Mound.
Besides, I'm having a custom garage built with a 4 post lift and everything...might as well have a mod party at my place sometime right?

I'll be in the 2000 Nassau Blue Coupe...

Anything I should bring? Floor Jack? Jack Daniels? Brake Bleeder? Beer?

Let me know!

Robert

Hmmmm. Just got back in town from Vegas (WORK, not fun... ) but will check and see if the wife will let me go play for a while. 50/50 I'll be there - sounds like fun! I just can't remember if I have any mods left to do on the '04... Gotta go check the garage.

Bring whatever you want! i'll probably bring some beer myself! I'm pretty sure josh has everything. He has a 2 post lift in one of his garages there.

Just letting everyone know that the road right in front of the house is bad. So go slow. All the gas drill going on at the end of the street has messed our road up. Also the speed limit is 30 down the small road. There have been a few cops out lately, but they wont mess with you as long as your under 40. Don't want anyone getting a ticket.

I think I'll stop by...don't have anything to do because my Tires are STILL not in, and the spoiler is STILL being painted...I'll just clean the car up a little and help others with whatever they need help with. Elio said he's like to stop by as well...

Nice meeting everyone yesterday!

4fit...is that radio still working? Let me know if you need a camera ok and thanks for the use of your lift!

5WOP3...sorry about the "tune" I put on your RC Truck! I thought for sure you would have been able to handle the extra power! OOPS!

Although we did more talking than modding...it was a good time!

Thanks again! I'm still undecided about what i'm going to do with the stereo. I might try remounting it higher and fitting it in a new bezel with the least amount of cutting possible. I'll let you know if i need any PAC stuff

It was nice meeting you. Yeah that dam radio is still working. I guess those guys at pac get stuff right every once in a while. But all and all thanks for the help from everyone.

O yeah you have to start Jeff with baby steps. You cant give him power like that.

that would be great. ill buy some beer and lunch for whoever helps, if theyre intersted in those things. lol

what kind of spark plugs should i get? I know what gaskets to get for the headers, but i dont have any for the x-pipe and dont know where i would get some from that would fit
thanks

also i am pretty knowlegable of working on cars, i could do most of the work, but theres usually tricks to installing almost anything on cars and it would be helpfull to have someone tell me. do you have a lift?

NGK TR55 plugs. I recommend getting new wires too.

The X pipe has a ball flange on it that mates to the headers, there are no gaskets there. There are gaskets on the catback, but we can probably save the ones you have now.

I was thinking about going racing at MSR next weekend with Driver's Edge. However, I really need to realign my cat-back (In my F-Body), bleed my brakes, and I know the clowns that installed my Walbro pump didn't re-install my tank correctly since it rests on my filler neck!

4fit, I assume you work during the week? I'd be happy to trade a back-up camera for some time on your lift and help to fix a few issues on my F-Body. I just live in Flower Mound and work from home. So, most of the time...anytime is good for me!

Let me know what works through PM if you want.

Hey Drewls6,
I suggest NGK TR55 and DEFINETLY buy some new plug wires (MSD) if you still have the stock wires. (my .02)
If you throw in a bottle of Jack Daniels...count me in to help you!

See ya!

Robert
