FYI

I know a lot of you are planning or seems to be planning to attend the SCCA Test N Tune at the Aloha Stadium on 7/21 along with some photo opps.

However, if you plan on running your car please click on the link and read.
You will need to pre-register as walk on registrations will not be accepted.

http://sccahawaii.org/TestNTune.html

If not, you will only be able to watch.
I just got off the phone with Amy, and she mentioned that your check will need to arrive to her no later than Wednesday the 18th.

BTW - The Mini Club has already registered!

Have fun, and play safe!

wow... no walk in's??

Only one more month... grrr :)

Already Pre Registered for both:)

I'll be running on both days also.

Gary will be co-driving the Miata with me on Sunday. :)

You know, I was wondering that tonight. The roof comes off at least, so that'll help.

Slicksweeper and I are pre-registered for Saturday. :)
I told you guys that I'd bring the M3 out one of these days. Haha.
I'm super excited as this is gonna be my first time.

BTW... how long do these things last?
I gotta get back to work right after.

We all have high expectations for the "track prepped" M3.:stickoutt

BTW... how long do these things last?
I gotta get back to work right after.

It lasts all day.

I wouldn't make any plans to do anything before 5 PM.

BTW, if you can't tell, I was just kidding about high expectations. Just come out and have fun. :)

Lol... I know you just playin' Reid ;)
You're a pretty cool guy after finally getting to meet you.

But on the other hand... what kind of "track prepped" M3 runs on stock suspension? lol

5pm is cool though.
Dinner rush doesn't really start until 6pm anyway.

I WISH I could be there for that..

H-J's first day at the auto-x.... HAHAHA :)

LOTS OF PICS somebody of H-J in his "track-prepped" M3....





just messing H-j, but NOT about the pics.. LOL :)

Bring:

A Hat (or a tent if you got the room !) Sunscreen, beach or camping chair, and a whole boatload of water:D

H J, be sure to get your payment and registration into Amy by Wednesday, or your Track prepped M3 will not see track time again!

It's all good Woody. ;)
I sent payment to her like a month ago and she confirmed.

Anyone with a cooler want to split it with me? I'll bring an extra chair! :D

Nope that won't happen again...it lost a loyal friend who sent him away! :(

I can always bring mine back to stock with koni's, and race rubber.... HMMMMM


fight in BSP, and REALLY have to work on my driving skills...

or go back to stock and have some FUN!!!


decisions, decisions....................

Oh... My... God... :(x99999999999999999999999999999
I guess I should just stop detailing my car now.
I already put like 14 hrs into the detailing and I still have the door panels and the wheel centers to claybar, the rear wheel lips to polish, and a wax job that hasn't been done yet.
So much for a good weather photoshoot.
If it rains on Saturday, I will be SOOOOOO pissed!

Start getting pissed then!

On the bright side, the photo will show water beading off your car!

Water was beading off the car during the car wash too since the last time I did a full 30+ hr detail was last month for the Build the Track show. haha.

CHECK THE NEWS - WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND - RAIN !!!

Cal...with what you've got planned for your car, you may mod yourself straight to SM without stopping a BSP...:D

everything I have planned (i.e pretty much already have, just need to install) is a combination of everything you and bill have done to your cars...

i can't think of anything that you or bill haven't done, that I'm planning.. and you both run in BSP....

what cars run in SM? and what does SM stand for?

i really gotta get a SCCA book

With the talent of the guys running in SM, I would say SM stands for Sado-Masochist for anyone wishing to enter this class..

SM is the Street Modified class and allows unrestricted mods to engine, drivetrain and suspension...

http://www.moutons.org/sccasolo/

locally, there's only one really fast top 10 driver in SM...Brad Lau in his Mini Cooper S...BSP is a much more competitive class...

Watch out, Cal, Gene is baiting you so that he can show you a thing or two in SM. :stickoutt

when i used to run b-stock, the times would be up there with the guys in SM...

that being said, i'd rather run in SM than BSP...

well, I'm not going to get many "podiums" in BSP, but Ken and I like to run in the same half of the day and he's in CSP, so I'm locked in...I'm just returning the favor, as he ran SM with me for a coupla years...maybe next year I'll have a different car and run in a Stock class...:D

Boxster S??? :D

poser....

why would you rather run SM than BSP?

care to elaborate?

Finally decided to get off my butt and join SCCA and BMWCCA, but when I was joining SCCA, there is a member referral program savings or something

Can I please get someones name and scca number so I can put them down for a referral... thanks

EDIT: Thanks gene for the info

poser....

why would you rather run SM than BSP?

care to elaborate?

if you're a competitive person like I am and like to get a class win once in awhile, running in BSP will be a disappointment...you may finish in the top 10, but you'll not be a class winner in BSP...

that said, SM will allow more mods and the competition for the class win will be less fierce than in BSP...

that said, SM will allow more mods and the competition for the class win will be less fierce than in BSP...

ditto...you CAN place podium in BSP (i woulda had a *few* 2nd/3rd plce finishes when comparing my times (again, B-stock vs. BSP), but NEVER a 1st place...jen also has become a better driver than what she was before, so it makes it that much more fierce...

curtis lee is an awesome driver, and he's well in tune with his car...

common misconception most idiots make is that because they have this mod, and that mod, and the "better" car, is that they'll beat the guy with less mods and the "inferior" car...

the driver is the number 1 factor in winning...and it's a factor most people ignore, cause they cant believe there's a driver out there who's better than they are...

Boxster S??? :D

Saturn Sky Redline...;)

The best mod your money can buy, is on the driver!

Well in case you don't know...your cones are showing! :D
Wait, did you take that title again this year?

Yeah and it shows in your time! :buttrock
Great driving with that power house you drive!

Oh man... I give up then... I'm too exhausted from work to detail the car anymore if it's gonna rain.

On the bright side... wet traction = less tire wear. :)

BTW... since I'm pretty new at this, what's all these classes?
Anyone care to explain it to me?
What class would I be in?
Since I'll only be at the test n tune for this one... this isn't gonna be competitive on Saturday, is it?

I believe due to your big brakes and your sway bars, you will be running in ASP... "A" street prepared for the E46 M3

AS is the most powerful stock group, and then the P for the prepared from the big brakes and sway bars..

someone please help if I'm reading the rules wrong here...

good luck in that group.. running with Reid in his boxster and the corvettes and such.. LOL

I believe that having a BBK puts you in mod class. IIRC that's why my brother's GTI went from DSP to DM. Maybe SM?

it will be friendly competition amongst friends, but there will be no scoring...

SS is "most powerful" stock class...

HJ, worrying about being competitive your first time out is the wrong attitude to have...just go out there to have fun, and learn new things...

H-J, cars won't be running in class on Sat, it's just line up and go pretty much when you want, however many times you want...like Poser said, it's for fun...and your car it gonna get dirty...

too late to join?? if not i can just watch right??

I wasn't worrying about being competitive my first time out.
I was more worrying about being put in a class too high that doesn't really "suit" my beginner class.

And as for the BBK... would that really bump me up a class? I mean... isn't my BBK more of a disadvantage than an advantage since I'm running the 15" over the 14" and it's the 8 piston setup?

H-J,

Don't worry about the class your car will run in for this event...like I mentioned earlier, you won't be running in a class...it's for fun and learning, just get in line and run...

If and when you do an Autox, then you will have to run in the class that your car fits in, there's no novice class..

Even when we're competing, it's all about learning to become a better driver and learning your car's capabilities...and most importantly having FUN...

Lastly, bring a set of "rains" if you have them, in case it's wet...:D

I don't recall ever teaching you anything, Grasshopper...


other than how to walk the track and where to not go fast in order to make up time and no matter how much we learn there's no way we can make up for genitics lol

Don't worry about being a beginner, everyone started somewhere. Just stick with Reid and he'll show you the ropes.

Sorry, your BBK takes you out of Street Prepared.

From http://www.scca.org/_FileLibrary/File/2007SoloRules.pdf

15.6 BRAKES
Vehicles may only exceed the allowances of 13.6 as specified herein.
A. Any brake line, single or dual master cylinder, vacuum brake
booster, or brake proportioning valves may be used. This does not
allow multiple separate cylinders, but does allow for any single,
dual-circuit cylinder. “Safety brakers” and units such as the
“Brake Guard System” are permitted. ABS braking systems may
be disabled, but not removed; brake boosters may be removed or
added. Air ducts may be fitted to the brakes, provided that they
extend in a forward direction only, and that no changes are made
in the body/structure for their use. They may serve no other
purpose. Backing plates and dirt shields may be modified or
removed.
B. Cross-drilled and/or slotted brake rotors may be used, provided
the replacement rotors have the same dimensions as standard
rotors and are of a standard-type construction and of ferrous
metallic material. This does not permit the use of a two-piece
hat/rotor assembly unless the standard configuration is two-piece.

gmhl10, it sounds like at least SM, and maybe even EM. But I'm fairly sure no one would care that you run in SM.
Since this is a testntune, it really doesnt matter, just go out, learn the limits of the car, and have fun!

I think I need a lot more runs to even get to the limit of the car. haha.

Holy crap, Cory is here too! Who's next, Troy?

Edit: NM, I forgot that Troy already lurks here.

lurkers...they're here...:D

bry- a while back a buddy of mine told me to check out a forum, cause he say a post with my name...the post wasnt too offensive- they were saying i couldnt be that fast in a stock car for auto-x...i did a search, and HOLY $H!T, there was so much crap they were talking about me...it was pretty flattering though- to be the topic of your competition...and even funnier when you check their posts and they get into technical detail of how their car should be faster than yours...

it's funny how all of us in friendly competition use the forums to "spy" on our competition, even though we're all friends...

that being said, i'm usually on i-club, FH, the s2k forums, bfc, 2 vette forums, and the cayman forum...once in a while i'll go to rennlist and renntech...

ps- i think they wanna know KVO's secrets of speed...

The secret is, he is a very good driver...something like you, except he doesn't talk with an accent! :D

i think they wanna know KVO's secrets of speed...

it's in his genes...:D

actually it's no secret, he has quick hands, a feel for his car and the ability to carry speed through the turns....

LOL! The link for this thread has been cross-posted over on the Miata club site.

For the novices going to test-and-tune, look at it as an opportunity to get to learn how to better control you car. BMWs are amazing vehicles and in the right hands perform beautifully (the VanNs have proven that). Go out there and have fun, introduce yourselves to the other car groups. We are a friendly bunch and are always glad to see new faces.

The same goes for anyone new to autox who will be competing on sunday. Remember, we were all novices at one time.

It's good to see such sportsmanship among the autoxers here. :)

And as for the BBK... would that really bump me up a class? I mean... isn't my BBK more of a disadvantage than an advantage since I'm running the 15" over the 14" and it's the 8 piston setup?

That's the thing about autocross, it does not matter if your modifications help or not. Technically, you cannot change the shift knob in stock class. It would make for a weenie protest, but rules are rules.

Don't worry about being a beginner, everyone started somewhere. Just stick with Reid and he'll show you the ropes.

H-J, you will have a lot of fun, don't worry about anything else but having fun. :)

Hi I am Reid's co-driver, expect to work hard in picking up cones after me. :D As I have FUN!!! Let's see how fast can a car go backwards or sideways. :eyecrazy

yess! hita s many as you like, the marks come off real easy and its fun to watch corner workers, timing people, etc etc scurry like cockroaches *jk*

hey Woody that means "I'm not a cone killer I'n mot a cone killer"

as for GVO/KVO driving advice the last time I tried that I left out the feel for the car part and ended up backing myself into the bushes at HRP, maybe we need to try Curtis's method "must drive faster"

something like you, except he doesn't talk with an accent! :D

the accent is not for entertainment purposes- it's used to slow down the faster drivers...

maybe a certain someone will care to elaborate more ;)

cp28 wanted to post this, but since he doesnt have enuff posts, he asked me to do it...

thats the best way to learn how to be a beter driver

I'm worried about safety at the Test and Tune. I heard that a black car almost ran over a couple of people at a past event.

Is this a common occurrence? I also hear that this driver still participates regularly. Will they have proper barricades up while the black car is running?

:stickoutt

i guess if I cant be there..... at least Ill be safe :)

have fun guys

Who wants mountain apples? I'll bring a bunch tomorrow if you guys want. Just let me know as it is the end of the season. I picked a ton today!

I'll take a bag, onagai shimasu...

Gene - I'll be there @ 3 pm.

You guys have fun, I will be seeing you guys on Sunday. :cool

did you hear Mike McCabe is seling his car

Is that the white Camaro? Is it a Z28 or SS?

Should we bring our own lunches or do you guys usually go out and buy it at noon or is there a place that sells around the parking lot area? lol.

bring your own, buy from the Stadium vendors, or go out & eat....I usually bring mine...

the lunch break is long enough you have time to go get something to eat... be prepared with your stuff... Always good to know you have everything you need with you...

have fun today.... damn I wish I was there... no most test n tune sessions scheduled :(

Miserable type of morning but I know you guys will have fun. :)

There is another TNT on 18August.

I went over this morning tohelp set up the track and it will be a fun course...lotsa slaloms in order to slow down that black camaro.

Oh my God... I just got home right now..
Let me tell you... IT WAS A BLAST!
I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT (except for the part where I got sunburned on the face again)!
I have never ever taken the M3 to such limits before... ever! And it's great to find out how your car reacts to certain conditions and to find its limitations.
Surprisingly, the M3 was very simple to handle than I expected.
I had traction control off the whole time (except for the first run where I forgot to turn it off... also turned out to be my slowest run).
I also learned a whole lot about myself as a driver.
After going through it the first time, your brain picks it up pretty quick... like... ohhh... you don't need to brake at this area or... ohh... you gotta brake longer through this hairpin... And when you try it slightly different the next time, if it works, you better yourself as a driver or if it doesn't work... you know that for future reference.
Even as a corner worker... just watching these guys run through... you can see where the good guys take the turns when... when the brake lights come on... times when you hear the exhaust... You learn a lot by watching too.

What I was really worried about going into this the first time was my car getting bashed up. Turns out, I didn't hit a single cone all day. lol.
But for those that did hit a cone, I didn't see any damage on those cars. Shouldn't be a problem. Once I went through it like 2 or 3 times, I realized, this is pretty safe.

I encourage anyone to come out and try it if you can. Or at least come out to watch others do it... Maybe that'll create some desire to actually try it??? Even just talking to some of the people in the event or possibly getting a ride around the course... You'll have lots of fun.
Now it's back to my tiresome exhausting work schedule.... Laters!
Thanks Jayson, Mike, Ken for teaching me so much.
Thanks Reid for that awesome ride where Amy scolded you. lol :stickoutt

Thats funny ,I got 6 cones in one fell swoop, plus one under the diff for good luck:D Did I not tell you it would be totally fun HJ?!!


Reid, it's an honor to finally meet you, you maniac! That's some fancy driving! I truly apreciate the help and the tips! Thanks to all the instructors too ( Mr smooths son, Jayson ...and .. his name will come to me....sorry!)

So Gary....hold on!:buttrock


Turns out, I didn't hit a single cone all day. lol.
But for those that did hit a cone, I didn't see any damage on those cars. Shouldn't be a problem. .....

Thanks Reid for that awesome ride where Amy scolded you. lol :stickoutt

LT1 Z28 It allready has the $:1 Bias Torsen T2R installed along with coilovers and a few other stuff incl a set of 275/45/17 V710's

sorry Dan no black Camaro today but its smaller sibling did show up

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT (except for the part where I got sunburned on the face again)!


i told you so...but i rememeber someone saying this:

lol... sunscreen. the inside of my helmet will smell soooo bad after. haha.

Glad everyone had fun, I think until my health issues are taken care of that I stay off of the track. But it will give me something to look forward to. :)

Actually, just go for it tomorrow as it will keep your mind off things.

Hope you're ok man! You're gonna co-drive w/ Reid, right?:)


EDIT: I just read your other thread, we're all pulling for you Gary! Go to the track w/ Reid and show them cones who's boss !

EVOroadster... unfortunately I get back from deployment JUST after that weekend is over, so I'm going to miss it by a couple days...

sounds like a GREAT time was had by all, and hope you can get out to the track soon gary, you will LOVE it

Since you missed it Cal, I'll bring it to you. lol.

That's my 3rd run. I got a 37.2 at that one.
I started driving a lot more aggressively after that one.
I'd have to say I still gotta work on that braking though.

Here's my little crazy ride with Reid. lol.
Was good fun, but the lack of a 4pt harness kept having my helmet hit Reid's pillar. haha.

There was my car, Reid's E46 M3, Brad's E46 M3, Frank's M Coupe, Gene's E36 M3, Ken's E30 M3, and an E46 non-M.
Lincoln, in his E46 M3, dropped by for a while too.

In that vid... It was a 32 something.
He eventually came down to a whopping 29 even with Frank in the car.

No damage.

Yea, I saw his car... just didn't know who he was.

Yeah, HJ pointed out the two E46 M3's who just came to watch to Jayson and me. He said something to the effect of "those two showfags should race".:stickoutt

When the time came for Reid to replicate the time in my car... i think i drank too much water or something to make it heavier, as we could not get the 29 :(

Thanks to Reid and Jayson, I can see what the car can do.. now i just have to drive like them...simple, right?!:D

We didn't get crazy at all, since we already got it out of our system earlier in the day.

Klaus was crazy:buttrock I was looking for the blue lights in my rear view constantly! Doing a shoot like that, in the rain? That's true art.:buttrock

I'm waiting to see what kind of pics Jon took. We are all indebted to Cory and Jon for their help in providing us with such great pictures of our cars. :D

I'm also curious to see how much photoshop magic Klaus can perform to make my car look presentable.

no idea... lets see here.. they blocked....

youtube
myspace
facebook
hotmail
yahoo mail

those are the ones I know about.. and some of the free proxy servers that we were using to get around the block

http://slyuser.com and some others as well

Reid,

Klaus said he had to detail the pictures of your car:D

Bryan,

Did Klaus tell you if he is shooting for Bimmer or Roundel?

Can't wait to see a professional shooting the cars. Nice combo of 3 M3s sandwiching a Z4 M Coupe

7, Tuesday

He was shooting for Roundel. Was he using film or digital? Perhaps he'll have pics by dinner on Tuesday.

Yeah, HJ pointed out the two E46 M3's who just came to watch to Jayson and me. He said something to the effect of "those two showfags should race".:stickoutt

BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA...showfags...BUWAH AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Don't forget dinner at 7 on Tuesday.

how come i wasnt invited...i'm all butthurt now...:( i think i deserve to go, i mean after all, i'm not a showfag....BUWAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA...It's because your car wasn't a part of the photoshoot. :D

Jayson,

You can be my date :eek: :eyecrazy ;).

Just wanted to tell you thanks for making me feel at home at the track. To see you drive was a real treat. MASTER SHOULD TAKE A BOW

FIRST AND ONLY 27 SECOND RUN That is outstanding. And I love the Walmart shelf paper paint job :lol:lol:lol.

Also want to thank Reid and Aaron thanks guys. Aaron congratulations on that M3 purchase, nice car with the mods and my opinion KEEP THE WHEELS.

how come i wasnt invited...

because you don't own a BMW...;)

no problem gary...like i said, i'm glad you came out...

too bad i nudged a cone on that run...aaron said he was watching it, and i just clipped it, but it fell over...no master here, just luck (i guess bad/good in today's case- it was bittersweet for me today)...bry needs to do the shelfpaper mod to his turbo and race it with us...:D

Yikes can you imagine when the turbo kicks in all hell will be breaking loose.

I think the cone was out of place which is why you clipped it and the wind of all times to pick up blew it over. Other then that it would have tipped and stayed up.

Not excuses THAT WAS THE BEST RUN OF THE DAY AND YOU NEED TO TAKE A BOW...CONE OR NO CONE

We need to do a night time test-n-tune with everyone running neons.:D

Actually I should thank you Gary. It was great meeting you, I only wish you could have had more time during fun runs. Thats generally our favorite "musical cars" time.

As far as the SSR's go, Reid is voting for me to possibly paint the centers. I'm undecided.

i'm searching ebay for neons now
i've already found a few sellers who look reputable and have decent prices. maybe we can do a groupbuy? or at least save on shipping.



on an unrelated note, how many posts do you need to post urls and pictures?

paint the centers black...

white car rollin on back rims with polished lip is teh hotness...but then again, i'm biased :D

more than you can afford pal...maybe 50?!? ...:dunno

bah, that sucks.

i'll think about the black centers. i'll have to do a photoshop and see what it would look like.

Aaron,

Think about powder coating the centers black, with the polished stainless steel lips HOT, HOT, HOT. You already have the tires on them as well P Zero Neros, hard to beat but then again I am biased.

Yeah, sorry about having to run but my wife wanted me home earlier, but I was having too much fun to leave, was great riding with Reid... I can imagine what he did to your car.:eyecrazy

Yeah, HJ pointed out the two E46 M3's who just came to watch to Jayson and me. He said something to the effect of "those two showfags should race".:stickoutt

That's a good one, since I am the 2006 ASP runoff champion...just call me tata, I can't handle being in the sun all day after a hard night's work :(

And as Poser so eloquently put it in the words of Panos,

ESCREW YOU IGLYOO

Don't feel too bad, I wasn't invited either and I own a BMW!
Hmmmm...maybe I should buy a "P" car after all! :D.....j/k

no master here, just luck (i guess bad/good in today's case- it was bittersweet for me today)...

Did you use my leaf trick with the timers? :stickoutt

paint the centers black...

I can give 'em the ol' Reid flat black "powdercoat". :)

That's a good one, since I am the 2006 ASP runoff champion...

:lol
Are you bragging about beating Brian Niimi? What's next? Bragging about beating Mitchell Loo?

and I'm the "showfag" ?:stickoutt

Who was doing the parking lot pimping?

i was part of the parking lot pimping group i must confess.

Which one of you guys was flexing?

But you participated today, and even got suckered into showing up earlier than you had planned. :D

Aaron asked me to post this pic for him. He's curious what you guys think of this look:

http://is.rely.net/1-639-80015-l-sSHgwLilALSUKjzT8bwUfw.jpg

that was the only color i could find, i know i can't get blue since gary said i'd get pulled over in an instant. any color suggestions anyone?

At least I got a trophy

that was the only color i could find, i know i can't get blue since gary said i'd get pulled over in an instant. any color suggestions anyone?
Well, blue is HPD, red is HFD, amber is CD and tow trucks, green is UH. Purple?

gary... if your not driving the car with the lights on, can you have the lights on the car with it not in motion.. like showing it off at a parking lot get together or something....

when I had them on my last car, we were never able to have them turned on while we were driving... but we were allowed to have them on, if the car was parked somewhere...

but according to you, even with flashing blue alarm lights, with the car PARKED, your saying we can get a ticket?!?!?!?!

Did you use my leaf trick with the timers? :stickoutt


learned it from the master yesterday...


I can give 'em the ol' Reid flat black "powdercoat". :)


i think primercoat is better...


Are you bragging about beating Brian Niimi? What's next? Bragging about beating Mitchell Loo?


yep, he bragging about those two...they run a driving school together...

purple, but go for the ones that flash with the bass...

Calvin - The vid size is around 65 megs each. Is that OK to e-mail to you?

Aaron - You ever thought about changing the wheels, at least, since I know 4 out of 4 SSR GT3 owners that have bent their wheels. Brandon Lam here in Hawaii bent his GT3s super quick just driving around town.

Bryan - So how many people are exactly coming on Tuesday night? If it's more than 8, I gotta put you guys at another table.

STATE OF FLEX, no not me :D To bad I wasn't really pumped while in the department I sported legit 20" arms. I am soooo small right now.

In my prime: 5'7 1/2" 243 lbs, 53" chest, 20 1/2" arms 36" waist, neck 21"

Reid if I was in my prime I would not have even been able to get into the Miata and not even in the 330. :eyecrazy

Anybody want to start lifting with me? Haven't touched a weight in about 6 months due to some injuries. Need to get BIG again.

Gary - If you're serious about this, I would love to work out with you.
In my prime: 6' 0" 230 lbs, sagging chest, arms, waist, and sore neck 24/7 and I'm still in my prime!
So, I would really like to work out, only question is where and when?
Oh and I would'n fit in the Miata either...j/k if I can get into Jeff's car I should be able to get into any car!!

Woody,

You even got into Jeff's engine compartment :eek:. One Woody horsepower.

What is your time schedule, If I get back into my routine it is lifting 5 days a week but no more than 1 hour as I push the envelope with very little rest time. My previous training partners World Class Benchpresser and Mr. Hawaiian Islands and every other contest would challenge each other to see who would barf first. We actually would drag a rubbish can around to barf in. But no I can be kind to you. Actually with your size you can hold a lot of mass. WOODY CAN BE VERY BIG :eyecrazy:eyecrazy:eyecrazy. Wish I had your height then I could have weighed around 300 lbs.

Woody, you could pass as my brother so I can get you into Pearl City Police Station weight room, just mostly free weights but I was able to build myself up. Let me know as you live in HK and I am in Mililani. I can always meet you right after work, I get through most of the time at around 3-4 pm depends what time I get in.

Let me know buddy, PC weight room is FREE. Just need to sign a waiver.

pretty soon we'll have a BIG WOODY :eek:

I'd love to work out with you as well Gary but I don't think I could keep up :stickoutt

Jeff, I won't kill you I have trained many police officers and world class lifters as well as body builders after over 25 years of lifting I think I know what I am doing. Having a BIG WOODY hummm that really doesn't sound right, but Jeff if you train right you can be as big as Woody's Wood.

Everyone is different and your wants would be different from mine, I tailor things to match you not me.

Cal,

Sorry didn't answer your question. Blue lights illuminated doesn't have to be flashing and the car does not have to be moving, just on a public roadway to constitute a violation. I had my officers cite all parked cars on public roadways for flashing blue alarm lights. Damn if you wanted blue lights join the police department and make a difference,

I get off at 5:30 most of the time and PC is not that far from my place of work (sand island). No, I'm looking for a barfing contest, but I don't mind a hard work out with the proper training.
So I'm your YOUNGER brother and Jeff will be your nephew?
What days of the week are we talking about M - F? Do you work out on Sat or Sun?
I guess we can work out the details off line.

I try to go Monday to Friday, we can do a 6:30 pm time train for about 45 minutes any longer and you will be sandbagging.:D if you still have energy after. Does Jeff work with you in the same area? If so I will have to pass you both off as Prison Guards :) :eek: :eyecrazy.

Woody, I will kind of know what is going on with my health issues tomorrow evening I have a doctors appointment at 4:30 to discuss what should be done. The real problem is trying to find my old x-ray to compare with the results of the CT Scan that would really figure out the danger level I would be in.

That sounds good to me however, I know I won't be able to go on Mondays and Wednesdays. Jeff does work with me...well in the same building he has the fun job!
Keep me updated with your health situation and when we can start.
Me sandbag?
C'mon now, I am a sandbag that's why I want to work out! :D

Having a BIG WOODY hummm that really doesn't sound right, but Jeff if you train right you can be as big as Woody's Wood.

that's it...for realz i'm calling you FLEX from now on...

Jayson,

I need you around me to keep me motivated. As soon as I get my clean bill of health back into the weight room with a purpose. The only trouble is being muscle bound will make it hard to drive.

But then again you can win on the track until I get my hands on you :shifty ;) :lol.

Actually thanks just for being a true friend. I really needed those discussion sessions.

But then again you can win on the track until I get my hands on you :shifty ;) :lol.


:lol that's the spirit...

anytime you need to talk, you know how to contact me...

Jayson,

Thanks buddy and you know I am always here for you. Did you find out about Sunday?

you mean the cruise?!? if that's what youre talking about, yep, i'm off that day...not on call either...:D

Okay now which car are you bringing? Vette with custom shelf paper or Cayman S:D I gotta say that was the ingenius way of preventing rock chips.

Remember to install your NEONS :confused :rolleyes

Reid, I hope you know what you started :embarrasm.

neons wont be in by then :(

cayman...since auto-x is only 2 weeks away, i'm too lazy to go and swap the street tires back on...

reid knows what he started...

hey flex, you mind if i pass the cruise info along to the cayman guys?!? if you'd like to keep it more bimmerforum members, i understand...doesnt really matter to me...just that the cayman guys were thinking of doing a cruise also, but didnt have a real idea where to go, etc...but like i said, doesnt matter to me...

Don't forget Cars & Coffee! I may go scout another site tonight.

Reid didnt start anything... he was just the one who made it public...

i've had neons installed in my M3 for the last year and a half... and have underglow neons in my other car for 4 years prior to this car....

you guys wouldnt even know if anybody had them installed unless someone actually turned them on at night...

:confused

Thats it I am installing those neon glow sticks on my rims so I can be the first and set a trend, just imagine seeing the wheels glowing and spinning at night. I bet you if I could put 2 or even three different colors on the wheel, it would be an unreal sight.

Anybody know where I can buy long glow sticks?


Jayson,

Bring out the Caymen group, I won't have my wife so I can checkout the cute Japanese girl with the nice calves, maybe she can show me how she steps on the clutch and shifts the stick :nono. I think we can start something here as we will have the German Car Club, GCC. :)

Find out from them if they want to buy Zip Packs or do one of the shrimp eateries in Kahuku.

cool gary...i'll let the cayman group know...

you gotta get the device that actually lets you write messages that light up on your rims...i gotta search for the link later on...think of those scrolling led signs that let you type in your own message, and that's what it is- but for rims! dat be mad tyte playa...

i did the shrimp truck cruise a few months ago on a G35/NSX/S2000 group, but honestly, it didnt turn out that great...the wait for the food was HORRENDOUS- over 1hr...and yes, that was even with people going to different shrimp trucks...it just led to everyone leaving and the group being split up...also, the bathroom facilities there werent the greatest...me and stacy just ended up driving to a mcdonalds...

i dont like to peel shrimp for my food, but i think it's even worse when you have to do it, and cant really wash your hands well afterward...i dont want the shrimp smell/juices to get on the steering wheel/shifter/etc. of my car afterwards...

if people are set on eating at the shrimp trucks though, then by all means, please do so...i'm not saying i WONT go because of it...i just wanted to share what i had to go through the last time...

ps- the japanese girl is available...i wanna see FLEX in action, hooking it up... :D

Jayson,

Yes, please send me the link to the LED sign, that would look great on my wheels. Yipee I get to be the first and set a trend. :alright :redspot

And I will flash PLAYA on each wheel. :eyecrazy :buttrock :eyecrazy


I feel the same way which is why I don't order crab when I go out to dinner, like working for your food. Then we can pick-up Zip Packs they should keep just need the sodas and waters and we can do lunch at a park.

I think we may need another cooler, as mine is not so big, us small guys need small things so we can carry them around. Does a Cayman have a trunk :lol.

Humm she is single :evil2 with a P-car, yummy. She may have to ride in my car to show my how she handles the stick. :devillook

Gotta figure out how everyone wants to do it as far as picking up the lunches.

Unless everyone wants to meet at the Zippys in Mililani Town Center that way everyone can order their own type of lunch.

Best place to park is on the side of Long John Silver and the Tesoro station.
And with that time might be better to start at 0830 so we can hit the road about 9 or little after.

Gary if you want her contact info I have it...she used to be the secretary of the Porsche club ;)

I have a good sized cooler but it barely fits in my car :stickoutt

i've had neons installed in my M3 for the last year and a half...

I would never admit to that...;)

Gene,

+1 :confused

Jeff, I may have to look into this. :cool See now I will have to buy a P-car. :D

I would never admit to that...

its ok, he seems to be a true playa fo real so it don't matter. besides, nobody makes fun of trend setters.

Bring out the Caymen group, I won't have my wife so I can checkout the cute Japanese girl with the nice calves, maybe she can show me how she steps on the clutch and shifts the stick :nono. I think we can start something here as we will have the German Car Club, GCC. :)

Cute Japanese girl??? Where?

H-J, son she is too old for you. :D

Gee does that mean I have to pump up for the drive :cool, lets see, 0830 we meet if I get to the gym by 7 then I can pump up to impress her, wasn't her name Colleen? :buttrock

Damn, I will need to get bungy cords to hold down the cooler if we are going to do the twisty back road after the spirited run.

Aaron can you make it? Cause I will need help to get the LED or neons on my wheels. Reid said he will help and we will have a DIY neon party so we can go flashing through the night.:redspot I think Jayson is game for this. NEON CLUB

I would never admit to that...;)Doesn't that put Cal into the RM class at autox?

I'll be there for the cruise and the DIY neon party. I'm trying to figure out which one is the best one that everyone buys and whether they use the LED bars or the Neon Tubes aka street glow. Does anyone know how to wire it up so that the lights can flash with the bass?

Aaron,

I just put some membership apps and dvds in my glove box of my 645 but in my old age I might forget so you need to ask me for it. :confused

I think Reid and Aaron should head the NC club. With strong support from Jayson and me.

I posted this in the other thread, but since there's so much neon love here...

If we lived on the mainland, we could make this place (http://www.rice.edu) our annual neon-o-rama meeting point.

What do you think the kids there drive? Lowered civics with fart cans?

so is anyone here actually gonna start showing up to the races to race?

no, the announcer guy gets on my nerves...

Yeah you know the guy named Jayson.

no, the announcer guy gets on my nerves...
I rather like that Pilofino man! He makes me laugh, and laughter is good medicine!
Oh wait, you're talking about me!
Okay, I'll tell Jen not to let me do that again. :(
