Sam: I saw him start another thread. I guess he is going to school in Charlotte. Good to have another member. Maybe he can drag Stu up with him?

They meet in Mooresville, NC. It is pretty much halfway between Statesville and Charlotte on I-77. Good group of guys. I've been down from Lynchburg a few times to meet up with them.

Welcome to the group. Hopefully I'll run into you the next time I am down that way.

Thanks guys! If I'm able to come up, it will probably be with my friend in his Aztek, since I don't have a car right now.

Hey guys! Just checkin in on things. I'm pretty much completely swamped with school and music now but I can't wait to make it to next meet. The picnic looked like a good chill time. One of these meets we should all go to ZMax here in Charlotte, or the 1/8th in Mooresville. I think that would be pretty cool

sounds good to me. I took off the nitrous, retard box, gauges and tach, moved battery, msd 6al, and set the timing on the z28. its a lot faster.....have you got a new air flow sensor yet?

I have looked at Andre's truck up close. Man that truck got smacked pretty hard. Bent both rear frame rails and bulked the back of the cab. It got hit so hard it busted out the back window. Good thing Andre is hard headed. I think that's what saved him. If you guys want to try and setup a meet next month for a test and tune night, we need to start planning now. Are you guys wanting to drag race or just spectate?

you know, wilkesboro sounds like a great plan, we just should grab a truck and trailer just incase someone's engine or rear end decides to take a dump.
Drag strip + Crazy rotor heads = BOOM! lol what do you think sam, we could trailer up one of the rx's and have the trailer there incase something happens, you never know, and since either of these tracks are so far away, it might not be a bad idea....

sometimes i get tired of doing work on the car .. lol

for some reason with all this rain, the car started making a clicking noise from the front suspension, it only happens at slow speeds and when going over humps or something, it feels almost as if something was loose but i've rechecked everything and i DO NEED to replace bushings but they've been in that same condition and it didn't used to make that sound, only thing i haven't checked is the strut nut at the top to make sure it didn't come loose which i don't see why it would. but i guess that would just be another thing to add to the check list..... have any of you had this happen before?

i would check the nut at the top of the tower, but the bushing ay look the same as they allways have, but they do get worse over time, even if the apperance stays the same
