NEPOC meet: Baby Chris's Install/BBQ day- 4/24/05

[Mr. 4500 RPM]

Yeah, yeah, I know. Well, there is an added financial bonus to this meet (instead of a deficit). I've never installed springs before and if it wasn't for the supportive NEPOC, I would probably end up taking my car to a shop and forking out the dough for them to do it. Besides, I really do want to go to F1-Boston...you guys just keep picking dates that I am busy!

I was hoping to have new wheels to put on also but I can't get enough people to sign onto the group-buy.

i am just wondering what size wheels and what colors?

 

[chuyler1]

16x7 w/ polished lip. We need 5 of a color, currently Bronze and Black are the closest.

Hmm. Rain date?

 

[slug420]

do you live off one of the ct-15 exits? i know i should know this but i dont off the top of my mind and that sounds good to me. i was thinking i guess or being there for 12-1 ish because i dont want to head home too late and it is a drive up there and back...i was thinking of leavin 5-6ish from chris's but we shall see...any ideas big chris?

yea, i live off exit 17 off 91, and off the last exit of 691 and the last exit of 15 before it hits 91

 

[poboxjosh]

so what time are people getting there?

 

[slug420]

well this doesnt look good. I just got a UPS ground tracking # on the rotors

UPS doesnt even take a s*** on saturdays unless you pay extra and since these just shipped today from cali I dont think they are gonna be here by this weekend. That is so disappointing. like I said the whole premise of this GB was to have the rotors in CT by this weekend. He said they took no more than 5 days to ship and so we made sure ot get all orders in at least 7 business days in advance.

baby chris, next time you talk to him be sure to let him know how SWEET this is.

I wasnt planning on installing mine this weekend anyways but everyone who bought theirs was under the impression they would be able to do so.

 

[Gbourdon]

sucks. he probably meant ship them out within 5 days though. Not recieve in 5 days

can we push it back?

forecast for this weekend from wfsb (hartford)

This coming weekend will likely bring a more widespread and significant rainfall. The rain will begin on Saturday as a storm system moves up to the west of Connecticut. Periods of rain will likely continue Saturday night, and it may last into Sunday morning. We could get more than an inch of rain this weekend. That's not very good timing, but a good soaking is what we really need.

 

[BostonMSProtege]

Yea I got my shipping notice a couple of hours ago as well. If I don't have anything to put on, and if its raining Sunday morning I don't know if I will end up going or not. (dunno)

 

[poboxjosh]

my tracking # is bad, does yours have 11 characters?

 

[cbcbd]

Yeah, my # is not valid and I just got mine tonight. I doubt that I'll get it by this weekend and, like scott said, if it's rainy and I have no stuff I don't know if I'll make the drive...

 

[tsunami]

Yeah, my # is not valid and I just got mine tonight. I doubt that I'll get it by this weekend and, like scott said, if it's rainy and I have no stuff I don't know if I'll make the drive...

same here... my sri just shipped yesterday and wont' be here until the 26... since i have nothin to install and the weather looks like shiat... i doubt i will make the 3 hr drive.... scratch one tsunami.... (thinkbeer

 

[poboxjosh]

I think i might be out. I was going to go even with nothing to install but the bad weather and the nothing to install makes my 2 hour drive that much shittier. Hopefully most of you guys will show up at the Dyno Day.

 

[Mr. 4500 RPM]

i say there should be a change in date maybe? i will be going to the dyno. my brakes are pretty much shot o getting there and id prefer to repair em then drive 2-3 hours as well...sorry i feel bad saying that. i dont know whats going on though let me know what the plans are. but id vote for a change in date.

Yeah change in date would work for me. Maybe all our Down Pipes will be in by then.

 

[Protege52003]

i got a spring compressor kit from CAP today........i am ready for sunday still!

 

[Kansei]

Yeah I'll be there Sunday rain or not, I don't feel like driving 6 hours home just to give up because of rain.

A rain date wouldn't work for me, a rescheduling would though. I'd need to know by tomorrow morning
