That should fill up both lifts reserved pretty well then. If @trevorovert gets his headers we can see if they have the third lift available.

Me and @Turkish were discussing the idea of the next ATX86Club meet being a TexMex86 event. We would like to plan a March date as well as get a good solid head count as we will be communicating with restaurants like Chuys to see the availability to hold such a meet (trying to reserve a table and hopefully parking). Also would like to plan a group photo shoot after the event so if anyone is interested in taking photos or knows anyone that would be interested that information would be greatly appreciated! Also i'd like to get some club stickers made if anyone is interested we could do something similar to the Houston 86 club(small 1.5" decal on side windows) or maybe something similar to the Arizona 86 club ( larger 2-3" decal going down the passenger side front windshield).

Response to all these things would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

yeh, I would take pictures if interested. Definitely not interested in decals. I'm probably an exception to that though.

You aren't alone about the decals actually. I kinda like being more incognito plus I'm paranoid decals attract attention which = theft / vandalism / cop attention.

I was thinking plate frames. I'm also not a fan of decals.

The OFT is looking more and more attractive each day, I just don't want to be forced to buy another tuning solution for the S/C kit I want. Then again it is only 500 bucks...(ninja edit)

I'd go with Ecutek. OFT is all just off the shelf maps. At that point you need a real tune by a master tuner, hopefully dyno tune. I know the price is attractive of the OFT, but it will never squeeze out the most out of a tune like Ecutek can, unless someone tunes through the OFT which I know most shops that support our car are all Ecutek. Also, Ecutek has a lot of nifty features for FI for safety and efficiency.

While I agree fully, there are no tuners of note even close to local. Yes there is a ECUtek master shop outside of San Antonio, but no mention of tunes from them on this board really, and I don't want to be their guinea pig. Not exactly excited about doing street logs for remote tunes either. Plus a little competition is nice, and I like seeing what the two sides bring to the table, will cause a little more innovation.

shiv does offer remote tuning for $200 additional. but I agree dyno would be ideal..

Anything in the evening during the week will work best for my work schedule. I am about to come off of having weekends off as a project I was working on is coming to a close. I imagine it would be easier to negotiate some sort of arrangement if we sit down to eat early like about 5-6pm. I believe the big dinner rush is generally between 6-8pm. As far as getting parking arranged, I think that will depend on the location and how much parking they have available.

Same deal with Missbrz, she needs her wheels unsprung... anyone changing fluids would want the 4 post lift as it keeps the car level. Why don't we start a list of what kind of facilities we all are going to need for our projects... I can alter the reservation at any point even hours before the reservation starts. Also keep in mind we only have 4 hours as they close at 9.

1) Turkish -- 4 post lift: 15 - 30 minutes estimated -- any lift or flat bay: 15-30 minutes estimated
2) Trevorovert -- any lift: 1.5 hours
3) Missbrz -- any lift 3 - 4 hours
4)

I got my rear diff crush washers from the dealer today. I am a little hesitant to post the part #'s as there seemed to be some confusion from the parts dept on just "which differential" they went to? That said, if they aren't the right thing I can reuse the old ones by flipping them over and I do not want to confuse anyone with wrong part #'s!
