I'll have to try to make the next meet up. I'm demoing a new Axle Back you guys should hear! I'll get a review up in the next couple days also.

Yeah, I'll probably host another get together next week when I get back from Idaho.

@digital_assassin, @NickFRS and @Mongo hit the shop again today, and nice to meet @Kmurph, @kiki76 and @FRES86!

damn dude ur rich!

Haha... those aren't all my FRS's, man, I only have one. :)

Darren, got plans on September 22nd? It's your shop available for use then? Thomas Dekany (http://tdekany.com/) is going to be doing a new car prep and opticoat on my BRZ, and we need an indoor place to work. My garage is much too small and cluttered to work in.

I have nothing going on that day. It would be nice to sit, drink beer and watch someone else work for once. I blocked the afternoon off on my calendar and the garage is yours.

Group Buy Time! That is who I am going to have do mine when ever I quit blowing my cash on home repairs. ><

Dang lucky I'm having to drop my car off at his house 1hr away :cry:. He just isn't available any time I am.

Sounds good, can you pm me your address? I'll let you know a better guess on time when I get more info.

I just had my lowering springs put on my whiteout FR-S by Darren and his minions this evening and they frickn rocked it!!! They look great! Well done and thank you again you guys!

@TraviigotSWAG installed some Tein springs into the white FR-S owned by @FRES86 tonight. Looking good, Jeff!

Man, This is a great resource you have made available to the local area. I'll have to make a trip down sometime to visit Portland / your shop.

Yeah man, just give me a heads up.

By the way, I used to work at the Kinkos that was near The Ram and South Hill Mall. That was in like 1996...haha.

@DarrenDriven - that's so cool you are getting the "kids" involved. Great learning experience for them.

I'm getting the H techs installed in Seattle right now. Since the dealer wouldn't cough up a decent credit for labor the get to do the install anyways and spend hours on my car. They are saying it will take 4 hours and I've done them quicker than that with only a ratchet and manual spring compressor.

I may be wanting to take those KW's off your hands if the poke is too much with an H tech drop.

Haha small world. I live like 4 blocks down on that hell they call Meridian.
:D

Yeah, I like giving these kids a chance to learn stuff that I wish someone would have taught me when I was their age.

Man, such BS about the dealer... once you have everything from them you really should post your experience publicly. Pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, let me know about the KWs. Sooner or later they'll find a home, might as well be with someone I know, haha!

let me know when you are doing this and i will try to meet up with you and drive down as well...

Another fun day with the guys... installed KW v3 coilovers on @digital_assassin 's FR-S.

Also got to meet @blu_ while @Kmurph, @Zach and @Mongo hung out.

Thanks Darren! Car looks soo good now that it's flush. The KW's aren't bouncy at all. Can't throw it into a corner yet due to rub but I'll get that sorted out. You rock dude!

Looks great man. Will look even better after the kit is back on.

I'm 34 so right there with you in age Darren. I used to work at Trojan for a short while and yes it's crazy not seeing the tower. When I heard it was made of asbestos though, I did a double take and am happy they got rid of it.

I'm still waiting for my red limited manual BRZ and probably will be waiting a while as red seems to be hard to come by. I took over a preorder in June that someone else decided to cancel and still no end in sight. Been riding my bicycle and borrowing my mom's car ever since June since I sold my R32 when the dealer said I could order one. If I would have known the order (waiting) process I probably would have tried to hold onto my R32 longer. At least I have a set of super light wheels with RE11s waiting for it from my R32, unless I'm able to sell them before the car arrives.

The waiting game is killer man, I placed my deposit in early February and got the car in late May. That was nearly four months! But nobody else was enjoying theirs' yet, so it made the wait easier.

Post up in here, too:

Those wheels are drilled for 5x114 and 5x100?

Thanks for helping me out Darren. They look great thus far. Love your garage :D

Got @Goodguy889's Tein springs installed on his Ultramarine tonight. UPS dropped them off and he zipped straight up to the shop and we threw them on. Lookin good man!

Thanks again! Awesome man cave! Would have took me a lot longer in the parking lot of my apartment complex lol.

...and I wouldn't have earned any beer!

Hey, just curious where you got your HIDs. Have you had any issue w/ the law yet?

I forget which website they're from, same as Darren's set though, so maybe he can chime in.
Looks good so far though.

The HIDs are from hidextra.com

I agree they look great. Ill have to pick up a set. If I did so, Darren, think you could help me out with the install. ?

Sure man, takes just about 30 minutes to install them. Bring beer. :)

Such an awesome payment plan. Beer and conversation should be used as currency everywhere. The world wold be a happier place :bigrin:

I'll keep you posted of when I order em.

darren, any updates on the fellow whose car was hit?

Will updated in that thread...
