This is Houston's thread, and we're the ... Orange Flames?

Previous thread got prematurely deleted: >>15104446

Next meet is still scheduled for Friday, June 17th, at 8:00 PM, with no location decided.

Current news:

· Civic anon is still dead and posting from the other side.

· GS400 blew his engine.

· Spoderstang is actually performing work.

To-do list:

· Suggest locations and activities for the 17th.

· Keep brainstorming names? Doesn't hurt, maybe we'll strike something.

· Perhaps once monthly is too wide for our group? Things hit a lull. Once every 2-3 weeks? You decide.

I'll be there on the 29th (Sunday) the whole day, taking pictures, doing ride alongs and talking to the drivers about their builds. If anyone is interested, feel free to join up. The round finals usually happen between 2-6pm and before is just practicing, if anyone is interested in taking their own vehicle to drift you can sign up as a driver on their site.

Hit a curb,

Replacing LCA, endlinks, adding coilovers, swapping black M220 for silver, and a new clutch/flywheel.

Thoughts on the silver M220?

Yup I got some caring parents. I think they knew I was desperate because I just paid 2100 for this paint job, someone hit my car and this engine overheated. So yes I was broke and they came to snatch me up and im really appreciative

2JZ, no shit.

This will decimate all after you put about 15 grand into it.

>>15131636
A used 1uzfe is not expensive but used vvti 1uzfe can get kinda pricey. A 2jz isn't unattainable I just gotta save up 1600 for a 2jz and a 4spd auto + ecu. It'll be nice to have a good v8 to cruise in in the meanwhile though. My neon is W H A C K
This is a good back up car but its not styling at all. I think I gotta pic of it in the back ground there

Needless to say ill be dyno tuning this nitrous if I even put it back on!

>>15131628
The 3-speed automatic SUCKS. Normally I drive automatic cars because of the gentlemanly vehicles that I prefer,but the difference between an automatic and a stick DeLorean is the only time I agree with the manual faggots in the auto vs. manual threads.

I have a performance exhaust with headers; debating going cat-less, a Peugeot 604 intake and distributor, a Motorcraft 200 carburetor, and a few more little tweaks. Cams just aren't worth it for the cost to effort/gains ratio.

It'll be pushing around 210 HP; as opposed to the stock 130.

Fuck it, let's do a mini meet on the weekend. Let's roll again at Happy Teahouse, chill out there for a bit, talk shit about each others cars and then move out to Track 21. Alternatively there were some suggestions to go to Dave & Busters so if people want to do that we can also. We don't know how the weather will be but we didn't give a shit about that last time and it was fun. If civic anon or any other person needs a ride, people are willing to give one. Heck even if someone wants just to chat about cars, why not. We can make big plans for the monthly meets but in the meantime mini meets are not a bad idea. Let's do this then, who's in?

>>15131950
I like it too, indeed a boy racer feel to it.

>>15131628
What will you do with your old engine?
>>
I made the survey. Happy tea house won for a meeting location, and "an empty parking lot" won for an ending location. That said, second place on ending location was also happy tea house. So the start / end will be happy tea house.

The next form will have set options instead of a write your own, so this likely won't happen again.

League City (other Camry anon) here

They want $5k to replace the battery on it, as well as $2000 to do some other work on it. The thing is nearing 500k miles anyways, I'm thinking of just selling it. Currently looking at new cars, going to test drive Volvos today.

I like the name too. Kind of has an old school bowling team/club feel.

Yes I said bowling.

I will retain the heads/cams and get them worked and installed. Will do it locally as ttc performance parts wants $6300 for the way I want them. I need money for an ecu if I do the heads so 6300 is a no go. The rest of it will probably be for sale or scrap depending on what I see when I take off the heads

No one is going pre-judge you, it doesn't matter what the fuck you drive, what matters is the driver driving it. We're all equal here. You act like an asshole, get treated like an asshole, we don't care how expensive or cheap your shitbox is, that's not what the meet is about.

Stop stressing about it. There is no reason to be concerned about these things. Not here.

So itll be me g6... And who?

Anybody down to drive fast? I maintain my neon well enough to top it out but rain is a no go because its not equipped with abs. But if its dry out then its fair game. Im thinking we need to find a new kart track, desu. One that is closer, has indoor gas karts like track 21 but I'd appreciate a track that has more well maintained go karts. The karts we were driving had excessive caster angle, unbalanced tube tires and the track was small and slippery and Arnold Schwarzenegger's arms would be tired after one session

I have a proposal for y'all. How about an official meet once per month, with unscheduled mini meets weekly as we see fit.

The weekly mini meets will be off the cuff and planned in the threads amongst people who will be attending. These would be for small cruises, hanging out, go karting, and other events that cost money.

The monthly meets will be voted on an planned out over the course of a month, and not include anything that would cost money beyond gas.

Thoughts?

That route is stupid.

The section east of Coldspring around Livingston is boring and not even remotely fun. The whole point of going through Livingston in the first place is to get to 942.

If you're not man enough to do the whole route, there's a shorter non-circuit version that's just the west leg.

(Ignore the boring straight part that goes past Weldon. It actually starts at that corner with the dot.)
>>
>>15142152
Why don't you use a name? Are you coming tomorrow?
>>
>>15142152
So who made the original circuit of the dagumis? Honestly thinking of scouting it after I get off of work but I don't want to go by myself.
>>
>>15142319
What's this about plans for tomorrow?
>>
>>15142370
Tomorrow at 8pm. Happy tea house. Mini meet for shits and giggles
>>
>>15142333
I did.

I might be willing to go tomorrow if I the weather isn't shit like it is today.
>>
>>15142449
I just want sit back and relax with ya'll. I'm not exactly up for going to do some dagumis desu.
>>
>>15142538
I'm thinking the same thing, at least for tomorrow.
>>
>>15142511
want to go? ill just buy a spare tire because my peeon didn't come with one and ill grab the tools and jack from my GS400
>>
>>15142551
Wait, are we talking the teahouse or Livingston?

I should take a nap. This is getting too hard to process.
>>
>>15142573
Happy Teahouse
>>
I'll see you guys there if it doesn't flood me in AGAIN!
>>
>>15142649
I might head to the teahouse tomorrow.

I'd suggest not doing Livingston afterward though. It'd be late at night by the time we got up there for one, and nobody else is familiar with the route so we'd have a bunch more ded cars.

Tomorrow night should just be wangan weather permitting.
>>
>>15142670
Yeah. High straight speeds are all we can do tomorrow , if that. Just checked our shitweather
>>
>>15142831
I'm apparently under a tornado warning right now.

Still not going to put pants on though.

A Livingston tour calls for a day meet.

Currently trying to get stickers done.
>>
>>15142867
What stickers are you getting done?
>>
>>15141940
Ah OK. Ya I'll take a sticker as well if there's enough. I'll pay for it as well if needed.
>>
>>15141986
Getting my alignment done right now then going to put on wheels and tires.
>>
I may have a replacement vehicle, but:

1. It wasn't my choice.

2. It's as contemptible as the last.

But hopefully I can just go back to finding a way to make money again so I can end this torturous cycle of soulless shitboxes.
>>
>>15143309
A car's a car. What are you looking at?
>>
>>15141940
Are we going to be Orange Flames or Mid Day Club?
>>
>>15143309
It may not be the car you want but it beats walking. And as you said now you can work your way up to a better car. I'd take a pinto over riding a bus any day.

Hall/o/ween special
Don't do it plz.
When did we even come to a consensus on The Orange Flames?
>>
>>15143542
>>15143570
these will be passed out at the next meet.

if you don't want one, don't come to me when I pass them out, its not difficult. the og isnt going on my car its as simple as that. if you want that then get it made.
>>
>>15143582
We didn't. We're making calls on the fly, like always.
>>
>>15143582
>>15143570

just let it soak in.. do you really want that blue as fuck sky clashing with your window tint? do you want it looking like I stuck a photograph on the back of your car?
>>
>>15143608
Because no one can make up their damn mind. Same issue we had scheduling a meet. Eventually it came down to "this is when we're doing it, don't like it? Too bad. " not the most democratic way but it works. I don't mind that sticker and it's free.
>>
>>15143642
That was me BTW.
>>
>>15143478
If that's how you feel, but that's not the case. I don't have the car yet, I didn't take the picture, and that's in another city entirely.

I'm not trying to come off ungrateful, I just lament how I got here in the first place (which includes past cars). Sorry if I offended you, I always thought you were a cool crew member.
>>
>>15143640
My windows don't have any tint.

So where do we rank in terms of size?

That's what I said a few threads ago, I agree. We need more collective member input, but no one can agree on shit. That's the only consistent theme we've had with every Houston thread.

Well I wasn't trying to be abrasive. Im sorry if my diction or choice of words was rude but I was kinda bummed out that you weren't really enthusiastic about your new car.

The original nickname for Civic anon from the first meet.

Unless you're asking what a Dagumi is in the first place.

What is it in the first place?

Knowing how /osg/ is, if anyone commissioned vinyls for us, we wouldn't receive it for another 7 months.
>>
>>15144053
/o/'s play on the name Takumi, the main character from Initial D.

If you haven't seen it yet, boy are you missing out:

Finally got my wheels and tires installed. Hating the truck stance so possibly some coilovers in my future. Also anybody wanna by some 17 inch 5x114.3 wheels? Don't know the offset or backspacing off hand though.

What's going to go down?

Yep, and I've turned down a few pakis already. I'm NOT selling it for $1,500.00 or even $2,000.00

At least some of the spics and niggers have offered me $3,000.00 for it.

The lowest I'd go is $3,500.00; $3,700.00 if you annoy me.
