Handy_Andy's Mini Meets

[la_fx35]

Oh mannnn, why did you have to add dinner at Mapo? :ninja:

That was Ed's idea.

If we have time, I have a mid chassis brace too=)

Wheels are not going on, decided on a new tire...

Now it's just a waiting game, car is at my cousin's shop and he is doing his thing. He is going to call me when he's done and off to Andy's.

Agenda for this afternoon:
Ed: take out cluster to clean lints off the glass/plastic
Ed: install 350Z aluminum clutch cover over ebrake
Andy: Amp
Andy: Throttle body mod
Andrew (if he show up): airbag light issue
Andrew (if he show up): suede wrap pillars

Photo shoot: Might hold off since Ed's 24s iForged Imola will not be on. If enough of us show up we might just haul to a roof top parking nearby for some shoots.

Dinner at Mapo in Naperville?

^^^ awwwwwwwwwwww man , you guys have all the fun :frown:

Yea we do! Handy Andy is the sole reason behind it! So he gets all the credit from the Chicago guys, and All the blame from the rest of

Well, put this way. Even though I may have gotten involved in many meets, but without the enthusiasm from the area members, it's wouldn't have happened.

Heads-up, my cousin has 1-2 more hours, so leaving Chicago around 2, 2:30 PM.

Can't wait to see Andy's sub in action, hopefully it is there by the time I get there.

Ed's Fx is looking good! Got to see it in person today! Great attention to detail with everything that was done.

Andrew change out his cabin filter for the very first time since taking ownership of his ride.




Night shoot at TelLab in Naperville. Yeah, bad pic. No tripod with me.

Nice job as always Andy! How was dinner?

Great pics, thanks for sharing. Ed's ride looks fantastic with that new front end.

Nice pics, looked like fun as usual.

"Andrew change out his cabin filter for the very first time since taking ownership of his ride."

LoL, was the filter all black and moldy too?

Weird, I just pulled the battery to reset it. I guess this means that whatever tripped the light hasn't been fixed. Did you reconnect the harnesses to the seats? I'm not sure if you took them out, I did to have more room to work. There is a harness for an airbag sensor in the passenger seat I believe.

Hey shadow, we checked again and did not notice any harnesses unplugged. Can't imagine any airbag harnesses ever being touched to begin with. What do you mean by resetting it? Even disconnected the battery for two hours or so, but the airbag light still blinks. Really stumped here.

 

[AeroBFA]

Well good catch too. We did take the front and passenger seatbelts out completely. Andrew thinks its that wiring that goes to the seat belts too. The part #s match and look identical, but maybe for some odd reason, we need to swap them, but won't get to it until the weekend. So definitely trying that route next!

I've figure out why my amp didn't power on from yesterday afternoon's install. It is the infamous unreliable pink remote wire from the BOSE sub plug. The voltage readings that I recorded can be anywhere from 2 VDC - 16VDC. Not sure what caused the fluctuation. I ran a switched 12 volt from the front to the amp, it power up immediately. Sub sounds awesome. The Rockford Fosgate P300-1 has plenty to push the Rockford Fosgate P/2 10" sub wired for 2 Ohm load.

Glad you got it done! I am looking forward to hearing it.

Very glad to hear it wasn't the sub Andy

I was thinking.... no wonder Lance never install it. The freak'n sub is broken! Just kidding ya Lance. Never a doubt in my mine about the sub. The sub is good. The amp power light never came on in the begining. It's all good. Love it.

Something Andy might try out...


What Aero missed out on because he was doing homework. (Andy great suggestion on that bamboo dish, something I would never have ordered but it is one of my favorites now):

That's right start him young. Like father like son. I'm he'll grow up just like his dad

 

[Chedman13]

Thanks again Andy for letting me bring my son over a few times. I'm quite frequently on daddy duty so makes it easier for me to stop by to mini-meets.
