yeah matt, me andy and matt are going for sure tomorrow night, and to answer ur question SILVER my fiance is from the grimes area so i am around there often

 

ls1/t56. already got it prepped (granny's kit, some things from hsc) just waiting to save up enough money for the ls1/t56. got a little sidetracked building the daily driver lol (cough ss cough)

 

Hell the 6 liter is basically the same thing.. Its LS based, the parts are cheaper.. Most of the parts interchange and it has more cubic inches!

good deal, I will be there watching

 

got a friend around those parts, drives a 06 auto ls silver

 

Dont think i have ever seen him

 

I would have been out there tonight but the clutch on my mustang felt "funny" so i went to adjust it and found only 2 wires remained on the cable its self, the others broke off...and lunds didnt have a replacement so no racing for me
Oh well, i have it forsale now for pretty cheap so i can get a nice road car for traveling and focus on a nice bike for playing

 

any meets coming up in june? havent been to one for a long time!!

 

the two balts that showed up ran pretty good! consistent 9.4s @77-78mph!

 

didnt goto cordova last night. Decided that getting **** faced drunk and having wild yummy sex with the woman would be more enjoyable than waiting 3 hours per run, and watching idiot ricers break their moms car...and dealing with drunks.

 

Well, me being the car ***** i am...just picked up a new ride.



03 VW GTI 1.8T 5spd. Mustang had to go so i don't think i will be seeing any of you racing anymore but i might see some of you downtown if you go.

 

i had a 2000 jetta 1.8t.. pretty sure the intake systems are the same.. i have a k&n typhoon short ram instake that i need to get rid of... plus a decent size Frontmount that i need to sell also... if you or anyone you know is interested just post on here... or email me thanks!

 

As tempting as that is, i'm gonna have to pass for now. I am going to focus on paying this car off before i start modding it. I bought this to be a nice DD/ road trip car. I'm not going to mod it for atleast a year or 2 (so i say now ). I'll let you know if i change my mind or find someone else that could use it though.

 

Cedar Falls Midnight Mania Sat June 6th racing starts at 9pm who's going???

About 2 hrs, though I've heard some can make it quicker....

Does anyone know FOR SURE the Iowa Tint Law? I was CERTAIN that it was anything on the back windows and 70% for the front two.

Some friends who recently had tint done are telling me that you can't tint at all on the front two even though when we research it online it still says 70%. They still tell me it's illegal. The only reason I'm believing them at all is they just had it done.

Did the law change recently?

 

70% practically is nothing..

I've read they have some device they stick in your car to determine the amount of tint. If you tint heavily on the back and the two smaller sides it will give a false reading on the front two.

I've read where one guy had no tint on the front and still got pulled over, the little device they used indicated it was too dark... pffft can't remember what the final outcome was I just remember he said he had no tint on the front windows.

 

You roll down your window and the device clips over the glass edge to read the amount of light that will pass through.

A state trooper once showed me that his stock Crown Vic's windows passed 78% so obviously any tint would drop you below 70%... Then he gave me a fix it ticket for the 35% tint on my Z24.

 

I wonder how they calibrate those things, I've got equipment in my lab that'll be able to test it I bet.

My guess is they take a reading outside first then place it on your window for the second reading and it calculates the % difference....

 

i think its a lazer that test the refleciveness of the light that dosent pass through, or it could be my drinking has made me feel like a genius

 

i saw a black ss/tc rolling around by the jordan creek parkway.. sounded pretty bad ass but i thought i was the only one in the area... hardly see any ss/tcs running around these days..

hey everyone, im from the southwestern part of WI, and all the meets in WI are 2.5+ hrs away lol. So, was seeing if you guys had any meets closer. Im from Boscobel, WI (google it if u dont know where it is) i drive a 2006 LS coupe, with a high rise spoiler, injen cai, projector headlights, and color matched mirror covers...

 

My buddy says you can get a permit signed by your doctor allowing you to have tint. He has it with his new Eclipse. You get the form from the DOT, have a doctor sign off on it, and you're good to go. Anybody ever hear of anything like this?

 

since we are on the subject of tint...where is a good tint shop in Des Moines !!!!???
