I just had an idea...
Anyone interesed in having an Initial D meet? I got the whole series on DVD and I haven't watched it in a while... anyone interested in getting together some day and watching some of the 1st season, or the Initial D movie, or something?
For those who don't know... Initial D is an Anime about an 18 yr old kid who delivers Tofu in his dad's AE86 Trueno that gets into street racing on some mountain passes in Japan. It's all about modded cars and drifting and other Japanses style motorsport stuff. It's in Japanese and sub-titled, so bring reading glasses.. hehe.
I can prolly cram say 6 or 8 people in my apartment, and we got a 10' projector, so it'll be very "theater like".

Well, I'm assuming we're still on for next weekend to install those gauges, so that's out since we'll need the better part of Saturday for that, and while I've got the header off my car, I'm gonna try to fix my up-pipe leak (again) on Sunday.
I'm out of town the weekend of the 8th/9th. The 2nd is the Super Bowl... So, we can try to meet up on the 1st, or sometime in later Feb.
Would Feb 1st work for you guys? Otherwise, toss me a weekend that's good tor you and we'll see what we can do!
ArthurS
2003-01-21, 09:20 AM
The 1st sounds cool to me. And yea, this weekend, so far, sounds fine to me.
sperry
2003-01-21, 11:37 AM
Well, I'm a retard... (no comments, thanks :lol: )
Super Bowl is this weekend the 26th... So it looks like the 1st and 2nd are free for Initial D.
ArthurS
2003-01-21, 12:08 PM
Did you want to do the install on the 1st and 2nd also?
since then it won't interfere with the football game.

We won't have time to do the install and watch Initial D... I figured we'd get the gauges into your car on Saturday. Then I'd fart around w/ my exhaust leak on Sunday morning, or put it off until my Stage 1 parts show up. I should be done in time to watch the game that afternoon.
So this Saturday would still be good for me for the install. If next weekend is better, then we can do that, but that'll force Initial D to be on Sunday the 2nd, and I won't be able to work on my exhaust leak.
MattR
2003-01-22, 08:57 PM
I think I'm good for the first, but nothing until then for sure. I want to check out initial d though, i here it rawks.

2003-01-23, 09:13 AM
Okay, I've had some event shufling going on... so it looks like the 1st / 2nd are turning into install days... Arthur and I are installing gauges in his car on the 1st. And I've got an exhaust leak to fix on the 2nd.
So, the 1st/2nd are scrubbed for Initial D. We can try to do it this Saturday (Sorry Matt!) or sometime in later Feb.
Since Sat is so soon, I'm figuring Feb 15 might end up being more likely.
MattR
2003-01-23, 08:41 PM
Feb 15 would be sweet...If you guys could put it off, I'll be there for sure

Dude,
Feb. 15/16 is Daytona 500 weekend, plus the 17th is president's day... Initial D!, racing, maybe some skiing, and I think there'd have to be drinking in there somewhere... I'd be down for a trip up that weekend, especially since I don't have to go back to work that Monday. :mrgreen:

Plus after all that Feb 14 Valintine's crap, you're gonna need some AE86 drifting, some Daytona drafting, and beer.
The only Valintine I like is my V1 Radar Dectector! :twisted:
Looks like the 15th is our tentative date!
sperry
2003-01-30, 08:32 PM
Okay, here's the tentative plan:
Sat, Feb 15th... Initial D meet day!
I've got all the episodes and both the movies. We can probably watch the whole 1st season, if we're hard core about it: 16 episodes = 8 hours. Or we can watch the Initial D movie. The movie's only 2 hours... since it takes place after the 1st two seasons, it recaps them at the start of the movie, but nothing that'll ruin the TV series if you plan to watch them later. And of course, we could just watch the first 3 or 4 hours of the TV series... (but the movie's better).
I figure we'll get some pizza delivered (bring a couple bucks), and I'll have moderate quantities of soda and beer on hand... if that's not your drink, come prepared.
Remember, the 15th is the day after Valentine's... so make sure you can use the "sorry honey, I have to go watch cartoons about Japanese street racing" line w/o getting divorced. Since my significant other is parked in the garage, I don't think she'll have a problem :lol:.
The LabMonkey will be in the house, so you can meet him... not that he's anything special.. but if you feed him beer, he stops throwing shit across the room.
Everyone's invited, but if everyone shows up, it'll be a little crowded. 'Course, how often can we get everyone together at once, right? (I'm sure this'll be the day... :lol: )
So, who's in!?
ArthurS

Well, I'm not sure when Austin (AtomicLabMonkey) is going to be up here... if he comes up on Friday, then any time will work, otherwise I'll want to wait for him.
What's a good time for you guys? 11am seems to be about right for our other meets, or we could make this a Saturday evening thing, and get pizza for dinner instead of lunch?
ArthurS
2003-01-30, 11:33 PM
Ill just keep the day open. I can make it anytime. Pizza sounds good. MMmmmmmm.....pizza.......mmm.....beer.

2003-01-31, 11:06 AM
The LabMonkey will be swinging into Reno that Saturday noonish...
sperry
2003-01-31, 11:31 AM
Okay, so it looks like this will be an afternoon or evening thing... say 3pm, pizza at 4 or 5? Or we can wait till dinner time (6pm or so)... plus w/ the sun down, the projector screen in my apartment is easier to see.
Sounds like an excellent idea!!!!!!!!! I hope I can make it granted I thru my back out on the 23rd of Jan. and had to be rushed to the E.R. Anyhow, I go see my Orthopaedic Surgeon on the 10th of Feb so We'll see. :cry:
Ps: Do you guys ever watch the FIA WRC world rally championships on tv?
this past Thurs. was the first 2003 Season Opener from Monte Carlo which featured the new STi( Driven by Tommi Makkinen & Rally team partner Petter Solberg).
Well Later days guys !!!

Awesome! If you can come to the Initial D day, you should bring 'em! Do you have the 2002 Season Review episode? That'd be cool to watch, since it covers all the 2002 highlights in an hour (or was it 2 hours?). It'd make the 2003 season more interesting to watch for the people that didn't follow last season.
So I'm thinking the viewing schedule should include: 2002 WRC highlights, 2003 Monte Carlo Rally X-tra, 2003 Sweden Rally X-tra, and Initial D the movie. That's about 6 hours of automotive entertainment... and I'm sure there's Daytona stuff to watch (like the Busch race) since the 500 is on the 16th.
Man, this is gonna be cool.

9 people is pushing the limits of my apartment for TV viewing, we've got chairs for everyone, but some people will be sitting at the kitchen table! If the weather's not too bad, should we consider firing up the BBQ for dinner (BYOM), or is pizza still the plan?

I am confirmed, but my friend may or may not go. He is coming up from St. Mary's that day, so he might be tired, but i doubt it.
What about Imprezton, Khail? Either of them?
If there gets to be to many people, we can do it at the house I am staying at. there is no projector, but digital cable.

Haven't heard from either of them for a bit (or from Ryan aka SoulCrusher500 on NASIOC... anyone seen him lately?)
I'm guessing Khail's new job seems to eat up his time (at least that's about when we stopped earing from him).

MrsLabMonkey -is she coming?
The monkey is escaping for the weekend, so the Mrs will not be coming along. She's always down for hanging out with the guys, but I think this weekend of motorsports would be a little much even for her. I'd love to bring the Mustang up to show with everyone else's cars, but I think it will be up on jackstands in the middle of the coil-over install over that weekend. Plus it's still February, so I don't know about the roads... I'll be bringing the Jeep.

He is going to need all the help he can get. I think my bro is just afraid of him, so he doesn't preform as well. They wrestle in the 189lbs, and this guy from Vegas looks like he is 215lbs.
Crappy thing is, is if he does beat him for some reason, he goes next to wrestle the only other kid that has beatin him before. So chances are, he isn't going to get 1st. But 2nd or 3rd in state is pretty damn good.

C-ya !!
I am not sure if anyone else plays the GT3 on PS2 but I just racked up over a million Dollars since I started playing it on Jan '03 .. so I purchased a couple of EVO's, a WRX, a Miata, and an "S" Class Viper which was a million bucks.. lol ... Oh yeahh I upgraded the Turbos, Intercooler, intake, suspension and wheels on the evo's and WRX which made them go from stock 280 HP to a whopping 470 HP EACH!!!! :twisted:
Ps: the stock "S" class VIPER has about 570HP.. I have upgraded the engine/tranny and other crucial components to make it 952 HP !!!!
sperry
2003-02-22, 02:42 PM
You can get the WRX STi up over 500hp... muhahahahha!
I've beaten all the races in the games 'cept for some of the pro and endurance races... I stopped bying cars from the dealer, since you end up getting cooler stuff as prizes! Here's a hint... get a Zonda or something fast, then run the "Run Like the Wind" Pro race... if you can win, you'll get the AWD Tubrocharged Mazda 787B... prolly the best race car in the game IMO... that thing is FAST! And with it you can win just about any race it's allowed in.
I'm still looking for a F1 race car and the GT-40... then my GT3 collection will be complete!!
Oh yeah, you can win the '02 WRC Impreza if you can get all gold medals on the rally license tests... it's not to hard, till the last test where you have to run a full lap at Tahiti w/ an ungodly fast time... it prolly took me like 20 hours of trying before I finally beat it!

I'll take care of that tonight after I get home from work... (we've heard that before... :lol: )

I started working on it and figured I'd go get the camera during my 1st bathroom break... turns out the install only took about 2 hours... never left the garage!
Maybe I'll go take some pics, and fire it up and record a quick movie clip of it running. :twisted:
Oh, and it's ON for GT3, hehe! 'Cept I call the wheel, since I simply can't drive with a regular controller. :lol:

How much did that IC sprayer cost?

How much did that IC sprayer cost?
Total cost of the parts worked out to about $250, $100 of it was the IC spray computer, and $90 of it was the high volume pump I used. A fully manual system w/ a lesser pump would be significantly less... under $100 easy.

Wow... thats alot. I watched your video tho.. looks very effective. I been thinking about installing one for the FMIC. I dont think I would pay $100 tho (I'd rather get some cam gears or something :P)
