Handy_Andy's Mini Meets

[smijus]

Haha, by now my neighbor know I belong to a car club. The most FX on my Cul-de-sac was the time you were there. A total of 6.

We can definitely beat 6. Zebra and I will cruise down from Wisco to pad your numbers...

Yeah we definitely need to meet when the weather is nicer. Haha, I wonder how many FX can we fit in circle formation in my Cul-de-sac. One of the member here, pazetronics, has a Parrot AR Drone Quadricopter. I'm sure he wouldn't mind to fly over us for some nice aero video clips and pics.

I can't believe it's been so nice out. You guys got great weather for the mini-meet install.

Did Andrew's coils go on or no time?

 

[la_fx35]

Nope. His BC coils still on this old car with the dealer.

Hey Andrew, maybe you should get KIDO on too. 12/12 front and rear spring rating since you like to ride low. Just saying...... hehehehe. :vader:

 

[blueduck1105]

I was going to ask yesterday if I went you Andy's house but since I didn't I'll ask here. What are the biggest differences with the different GB coils right now?

Actually, Ive been thinking about it. I have bad a feeling I'm not going to get them back.... I'll call later today and see the status.

 

[la_fx35]

I like KIDO simply because it spring rating is stiffer then MEGAN and BC. KIDO offer different spring rates. Base on the research that Ed had done. 10kg in the front and 12kg for the rear yield the best street rides and feels; while MEGAN & BC is at 8/10.

 

[Chedman13]

Yikes, what happened!! Are they taking off all your mods now? What's left on the car.

[AeroBFA]

Nothing yet, lol. It's not like a dealer dealer you know? It's one of those small ones that has a ton of porches, bmws, benzes, etc. They are kind of shady anyways. I just have that gut feeling they will give me the run around on my stuff. In addition to the coils, I still need my rear lateral bar and 25mm spacers back too.

 

[blueduck1105]

any reason why you didn't try to uninstall everything before you traded it in?

 

[AeroBFA]

Time and convenience were the biggest issues. I tossed my OEM springs away and could not take the coils off. Plus, I have winter tires on the 35 that i wanted to swap over to the new 45 wheels. I was under the assumption they would let me swap parts off the car to save them trouble of doing it. They were cool with it at first, then as I signed paperwork they changed their mind, saying our shop has to do it, blah blah and they charged me for it, lol. So shady! :bomb:

 

[blueduck1105]

yea that is shady! GL with that...we need more excuses for meets and as of right now your FX is the main target for those meets

 

[AeroBFA]

Oh good news, the dealer actually called me asking when I can be in to swap parts. Looks like they are just as eager to get everything back too so they can sell it. Looks like another meetup soon!

Nice! Looking forward to it! When you thinking?

 

[AeroBFA]

I would love to this weekend, have to check with the man, Handy Andy himself! :top:

 

[blueduck1105]

haha keep the thread posted

 

[la_fx35]

Install a Wideband O2 sensor, a PLX AFR and gauge on Chris (FX45Chicago) FX45. Here are some pics on where he wants to mount the PLX gauge. I like it better than where I mounted mine. Another mod to mod on my list.

 

[TurTLeG]

Looks cool. I've seen some mounted there.

 

[jdTrader]

wow...looks awesome. I squinted when I saw the drill...I can't imagine being there! hehe

 

[Chedman13]

Tweeter goes there!!! sound is 100x better!
