Previous Thread: >>15279138
What a successful run, saw many new faces and some great cars too. Loved the enthusiasm we all had for the run. Some of ya'll took a leave right after the meetup on Happy Teahouse and I think some even got lost or didn't contact again while heading to the run location, well you missed a lot of fun. The road was absolutely gorgeous and all our
cars together running in a straight line looked beautiful with nothing but the noise of our engines. The woods were dark with no street lights with just our high beams and once with the cop's flashing lights. I'm glad most of us made it to the starting point, hope to see ya'll next time!
There were some complaints about many things such as: lack of information on direction, speeding, leaving others behind, and even meeting at the wrong places. Look at the previous thread for more details. Changes will come but some of you really need to keep checking the thread to know what's going on.
and to..THE NEWS:
GS400 has got the stickers ready, some of ya'll can meet him up to get it or perhaps get them on a mini meet.
The Fast and The Furious has a one time showing on the 22nd, more information on this post

If you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to share. /hou/ has grown in numbers exponentially so we need to start being more organized in the way we do things.

Make sure you download the app "Zello" and join the group /hou/
This is our form of communication when on the road, it's a walkie talkie app for iPhone and Android
> http://zello.com/channels/k/enuwI
>>15292677
Also:
At times it's hard to anticipate when you will arrive at the meet location, so if you're coming from afar leave a bit early then. We generally stay at the meeting location for an hour,
so that should give you enough time.
Keep checking the threads for updates, especially the last few hours before meeting.
We do roll calls before meeting up so we know who to expect.
Once we are out on the road, the group WILL be divided for many reasons such as traffic, speed, different routes
so make sure you are ready for those things. If some people are really behind, the lead group will usually drive the
speed limit, this should give you enough time to catch up. If you're not comfortable with driving too fast because of
cops or some other reasons, stick to a slower group. There will always be speeders, cruisers and the ones who are both.
Since we have a large crowd now, I think we should arrange the groups before we leave just to be on the safe side.
>>15292677
I'm glad someone's willing to put in the effort for a detailed OP, I usually start most of them but haven't had a lot of energy lately. Glad to see the dedication.
Another thing I've noticed is, since we tend to hit bump limit really fucking quickly once we get any sort of semblance of momentum in conversation, we tend to quickly forget good or interesting ideas that were posed in the previous thread because "out of sight, out of mind." Someone (and I'll try to do it too) should build the master list of previous threads and comb through them, because I know for a fact we've had at least half a dozen really good ideas that have just never been touched on again because a new thread was made shortly after.

Thanks m8, I want the links part to become a sticky for future threads. Generally I like that layout, it might have been you who started with "the news" which I thought was a great idea.
Also insomnia so can't sleep. Got a lot going in my mind right now, what new to add to /hou/, how to keep things organized, preventive maintenance costs on the SC, and ofc whatAmIDoingWithMyLife.flac. Which reminds me, I'm a fool to not setup the tripod in my passenger seat and record the run, maybe it would showed up real nice.. shit
>>15292730
Yeah sorry about, for this one I just wanted to make a nice layout just so we can stick to some standard for newer threads. It will make us look more organized and might even help some people if they can't find certain things in the thread.
That's a good idea of having a master list, it will take sometime though to go through them all. Losing the momentum of interesting conversations in the previous threads sometimes makes the new threads quite boring.

>Also insomnia so can't sleep. Got a lot going in my mind right now, what new to add to /hou/, how to keep things organized, and ofc whatAmIDoingWithMyLife.flac
Pretty much in the same boat.
So much to accomplish, so many scattered thoughts.
I think one big thing that'll have to be addressed soon, if numbers keep increasing the way they do, is reconciling everyone's differing visions for the group. I think initially no one even believed we could build enough interest to even make a meet at all, but by the first meet we already had different ideas of where we wanted it to end up.
Of course you're always going to have your casual crowd that will see this as nothing more than a silly 4chan meet that acts as a surrogate for more normie meets, and they're not much interested in any deeper activities, but I know there are a handful of participants who want a more serious and focused underground network for hype thrills, and I don't see the two coexisting well, especially if we have people complaining about not being able to keep up to 5,000 lb land barges at 90 mph.
Which is why I've always supported the proposal of split teams. One team for the people who just want to be the "lol so WAT" and just want to chillax, and a team for those who want to go maximum overdrive together, and of course having overlap where applicable.
I know no one wants to create division, but the bigger we get with no plan, the more likely we are to cultivate division naturally anyway, so may as well plan around it.
Got my gang sticker.
Where do you senpai even go for a nice drive in Houston?
>>15292987
Out of Houston.
>>15292892
Yea I guess we do have different opinions about that, I just think having divisions might just unnecessarily divide people. The way I see it is, you wanna go for a cruise, post it on the thread, you want to do a serious run, post it on the thread then. Those who want to do runs will do those runs, but I think monthly meets can just be divided into groups of people who want to cruise or speed right before we leave the meeting location even if it means we are doing the same run.
Sure, there will always be people who are here for the casual meet ups, relaxing or even cruising, which is totally fine, but as I said, if you wanna do it, post it on the thread and see if anyone hits you up. I just I have this fear that once we start labeling, we will see less of each groups and perhaps that might just break /hou/ and even make the conversations less interesting.
Now here's something, we can just get the numbers of those who want to do high speed toegays and contact each other about it and plan it out ourselves. Then again, those things should be posted on the thread just in case anyone is interested...
Obviously all this is pure speculation and there's no telling what will happen and how things will end up. Seeing that there are so many aut/o/ fags here makes me wonder how large of a group we can get. I think we actually might be the highest numbered group from all /o/ meets. Which is great because that means there is high potential in this city. I kinda want /hou/ to evolve by itself without any sudden forces, see how things go ya know. But hey, I might be wrong, perhaps going with the division route is better. We should talk about it in the thread later on see what everyone thinks about it. I should try to get some sleep now...
>>15292987
A lot of police near memorial park, but it's a nice place if you want to go for a cruise..at speed limit.. Other than that.. just like >>15292991 said, go outside of Houston.

We need to know Crosstour, was your friend the trap?
>>15292677
We really do need to cool it on the speed on 290 though. Not only is that road beat to shit and an active construction zone, y'all forgot that convertibles with the top down have drag like a motherfucker. I've hit 115 in my Miata with the top up before with little problem, but with the top down it took everything it had to keep up with the S2K at 105.
>>15293617
I know I'm not exactly driving a 1.6 NA Miata, but I was cruising pretty well with the group on 290 until a truck cut in front of me. After that I had to go 120+ just to catch up lel. No complaints though, I had fun.

>>15293753
With the top down, I was hitting about the same on 149 with even smaller stretches to get up to speed. That being said, I'm at about double the HP of that 1.6, so i can undersand why you would be frustrated trying to cruise at 110+.
>going 120 on us290
y'all niggas crazy
>>15293809
120 isn't even that fast.
>>15293722
I'm intrigued. What're your skills?
>>15293722
Hmm what's the catch it seems cheap for the condition
>>15293906
Tell that to the DPS pulling you over or the minivan merging with no acceleration lane. I wanted to check one of these meets out but I can't afford doing irresponsible stuff like that.
>>15294232
Then don't. Idk why y'all think that just because someone else is doing it you have to as well. Drive at your own pace, only once we reach our run spot then you can get ready to push the pedal all the way. Besides, if THAT is the reason why you didn't come then it's better off you don't come to /hou/ meets, you seem like a person who will blame others for things and whine about things because they aren't going your way. We don't want that kind of bullshit here.
>>15293917
It's true, some/hou/ is always lurking at other threads.
>>15294232
>DPS
>minivan with no acceleration lane
What is strength in numbers, and what the fuck is the left lane for?
Pic related is the last time I was pulled over when I was in a big cruise with my friends. Nobody got a ticket.
>>15294394
>strength in numbers
That might work on HPD but DPS will literally pull all you fuckers over at once. They do multiple car stops all the time.
>>15294232
>>15294394
I'm old enough to remember the 2004 street racan bust and need my license clean for work. I cant be associating with people that drive double the limit on a mostly two lane, mostly construction, mostly busy road.

If you don't want to go fast, just don't go fast. I'm sure there will be people that want to be in the slow group.

>>15294232
I know crown Vic's top out at 150 and all but they get there really fucking slowly you know that right?
>>15295254
If we're going 100+ then the Vic has to catch up from a DIG. Not to mention the inevitable wheel spin.
>>15294485
Tell me, exactly, how someone is going to pull over 20 cars in the middle of the night.
>>15294582
Then don't?
>>15294582
>>15294232
Then just stick with the cruisers. That's literally what they're for: for the people who want to make the run but don't want to risk wrecking/a speeding ticket. The MG never broke the speed limit and nobody gave a shit.
This isn't some chickenshit game with nothing on the line. We're talking 1-ton vehicles moving at high rates of speed, where fucking up can see your car wrecked at best and you fucking dead at worst. If you don't want to take that risk, nobody is going to fault you for it and nobody is going to make you break into triple-digit speeds.
>>15295182
I'll grab one at the FnF meet
Shit's gonna be fucking cash
>>15294722
I don't know who you are, I don't know what you want, but I will find you, and I will agree with you.
>>15295406
>>15293035
That is probably the thing we need the most work on. There wasn't a cohesive "cruiser" group, it was just the people who got left behind at the tail end of the pack. I think a lot of the complaining we're seeing post-meet is from the people who might have gone in the cruiser group, but felt they had to go outside their comfort zone to try and keep up with everyone going 100+ to not get lost.
We just need to set that group up beforehand and designate a leader for it so people can pack up with them if they want.
>>15295406
>We're talking 1-ton vehicles
Nigger please. I'm the only one here with a vehicle that weighs anything near 1-ton.

Got a reply from the seller.
"It's a project it does start and runs but needs work tires it does have rust.. for the money you're getting a pretty good car I believe"
Really want to buy it, but don't know if I can put the full $900 down right now. I'd pay back whoever chips in, and make copies of the key. Could be a crew car of sorts.
>>15295738
The important thing is that you don't fuck around with cars if you don't think you've got the skill to do it. The penalties are too great if you fuck up.

>>15293906
You know that a lot of vehicles, especially older vehicles, are governed to 110 or 115, right?
>>15295765
Including mine. It's not that fast on a highway once you get there.
>>15295774
Mine is limited to 115 by drag with the top up, 105 with the top down.
>>15295732
I'm willing to spearhead the cruisers group. That's what my cars are built for. I also tend to have enough tools and spare parts in the trunk to fix most issues, should need be.
>>15295741
I'm intrigued. See me at the FnF meet and we'll discuss it.
>>15295967
It's either you or Brit, since the two of you have the most distinctive cars.
>>15295967
>>15296021
These are some good ideas. I think one more idea we can add is that we have both designated party leaders for the respective groups, and then decide on a designated caboose as well. It's just as important to know who's at the tail end to maintain maximum cohesion.
This way you can just radio the caboose for a sitrep, and he can literally see everyone in front, so it's easier to catch people who are getting lost, splitting off, or if the caboose is falling behind.
>>15295254
>150
that is the biggest pile of horseshit ive ever heard. Civilian Vics are limited to 110, PI models are 120 except for a brief streatch in the early 2000's where they could touch 130, but at those speeds you start generating too much lift on the front end to make it a good idea.
>>15295254
You can't outrun a radio.
>>15296126
>literally any Houston area cop is cucked unless he calls for backup or initiates pursuit
By the time we split off, he has to choose one to follow. 1 in 25 odds.
>>15296081
We should get some kind of distinctive lighting to make it easier to identify which cars in the pack are ours too.
A glow stick or something.
>>15296146
Pretty sure I can pick up a pack of them from Party City and we can tape them to the cars. The glow lasts at least one night.
Apologies to whoever cares about clearcoat or finish.
>>15296168
Which color would be most distinctive under the orange glow of the street lamps?
>>15296146
That kind of cohesion is really only needed on the run itself, and when we're doing that we don't need identification. The fact you're part of the pack is ID enough. Afterwards, we just need to set a post-meet point so we all know where to join back up.
That's another thing we need to work on: the post-run was a cockup. When we got told to git from the gas station, people said move over to the Wal-Mart parking lot to coordinate, but then everyone just tore off down SH6 back to Houston.
>>15296173
Blue is orange's complement.
>>15296189
That's what happened at the first meet too.
RIP BRZ
>>15296189
I'm actually not totally averse to the glowstick idea myself, it is fairly subtle and effective
>>15296189
>people said
That's the thing, no one heard anything on Zello, so there was a breakdown of communication. Maybe it was a decision made outside of group consultation.
>>15296207
Also, what he said. We seemed to have messed it up in that regard at meets #1 and #3, but #2 we actually had good and understandable checkpoints. We need to bring that system back.
People agree unanimously on which spot we stop at so everyone can regroup as needed. Depending on the length of the run, 2-3 checkpoints/rally points.
everyone being on zello is a big deal too and needs to happen
>>15296227
Phones sometimes stop working properly, so we can't rely on Zello for everything.
Also with tops or windows down at 100+ speeds, it's nigh impossible to hear or be heard over Zello.
>>15296227
>yfw there were still at least 3+ people without Zello
I'm not even that mad (although a little), but how is that even possible? It was mentioned like three times per thread, then mentioned like 5 times at the departure point. You have to be *trying* to be this obtuse.
>>15296245
Crown Vic at least doesn't have a smartphone.
>>15296243
That too. Zello is of limited use when you can't hear anything or be understood if you try and speak over it. And that's if you even have signal; a bunch of us lost signal for a while during the run.
>>15296216
We'll need two sticks for each car at the least. One front and one back so we can quickly identify if someone is falling behind or identify the group in traffic if we fall behind.
>>15296261
There are shortcomings, but I seriously can't think of a more cost effective solution. Actual two-ways are $20 a pair at their cheapest, and they have limited range.
Open to suggestions.

Some time this week we should get a couple guys out there with multiple colors of glow stick to see which ones work the best under the lighting conditions of Houston's freeways.

She finally died after my dad fucked her up. Lasted over 500k miles, died a few days ago. I planned to replace her with something more comfy, but I'm going to have to get something sooner. In the meantime my mom is letting me drive her old Nissan Rogue.

>>15296377
I'll think about it, probably buy one and wait a bit to complete it. Get a new car to daily and slowly complete the project.
Personally I'd prefer a RX-7 to have the original Dorito to go with it.
Also, we need volunteers for the following positions:
>DJ
Whoever's got the loudest speakers + aux or some form of custom input for a tailored soundtrack.
>Sentry
Someone manning the police scanner. Whoever has 2 or more devices so they can listen to Zello and PD. Would notify group if anything of interest is heard.
>Scout
Someone who actively drives out to different areas and compiles road condition reports and surveys possible alternatives any time prior to the meet.
>RX-8/Roadblock
Someone who's willing to block traffic when needed. We don't expect many takers for this position, but he'll be out of commission for another year, at least.
>Heat
Probably not even worth mentioning since it seems we already have people who do this anyway, but anyone packing heat in case a nigga wants to get silly with us.
>Broadcasters
Focus ST is currently the only member with a dash cam, and Dagumi has one on the way, but the more people who have one, the better. We've also toyed with the idea of livestreaming some of our events, so if someone wants to experiment with live driving broadcasts, feel free to chip in.
>AAA
Someone who brings tools and/or has a AAA membership, since, to my understanding, the person with AAA can call for any other car to be towed or serviced, so long as the person calling is a member. Volunteers for this would be an emergency preventative measure in case something goes wrong mechanically and we're in a less populated area.
>Graphic Designer
Pretty much anyone can try their hand at this. Just keep trying to come up with banners, OP images, stickers, and general visual designs for the crew. The more ideas thrown in, the more we have to work with.
>Photographer
SC is already doing an excellent job, but just like with broadcasters, the more the merrier. One is always bound to catch something the other missed.
There may be more I'm forgetting.
Zello tends to cut out for fags like me with boost mobile so if I'm suddenly logged out in the heat of a run its not on purpose. This happened last time when me and dagumi went to scout the road. I want a better program desu or communication method.

OK I've been scouting, and in case y'all didn't guess it by now basically infinite gas from my job. I have a radar detector and adding a go pro and scanner to my car isn't too far-fetched of a near future possibility.

Dumb as fuck. Don't give the cops rope to hang us with.
>>15296543
Someone could go on a solo cruise and there'd be no information to go off of. We don't have to broadcast street races, but some people are interested to see what the roads look like for those who can't make it, or maybe the scout can show us roads ahead of time.
>>15296535
>infinite gas from my job
HOW
I'd also like to again suggest that we try and find a less cramped parking area next time. I like the idea of us meeting up at a tea house or something along those lines, but it was slightly high traffic where we were and there was very little space
>>15296586
This. Something much more expansive. We need room for 25 of us, and that shit was the size of a bowling lane.
I've got AAA and a full set of tools at nearly all times; typically 8 tows a year through AAA.
I'd also like to suggest that we start the meet at Dave & Busters as well as ending it there. That way, if people want a "sit and chill" meet, they have it; if they need a familiar location in case they get lost, they have it. I believe that parking there is also superior to the Tea House.
>>15296586
>>15296601
We're moving to d&b's from now on.

Since I didn't show up at the Coffee and Cars meet this month that Dagumi and SC went to, I decided to check their facebook out. I assumed they probably have better pictures than SC, but no, I was wrong. I can't believe we have a better photographer than the guy's at Coffee & Cars, SC has way better pictures than those guys. We really need to get some good pictures of our cars and also get an official group picture or something.
>>15297082
Mini meet with full squad formation photoshoot when?
Oh, and we need to do some rolling shots.

I still got a lot to learn, hopefully I'll get better by time.
So just to let you y'all know, these are somethings that will make the pictures look real good.
The time of the day is preferred to be noon or on a cloudy day so we don't get sun reflections.
A huge parking space is always nice whether it's for one car or multiple cars, doing a group
photo will require some planning out to get a nice detail of all cars, I'll look into and let y'all
know later on. Also, having some sort of a building or landmark is always nice to have,
something like in this picture I took of GS, it focuses on the car but it doesn't make the picture
look empty. Those shots are usually what you would keep as your desktop wallpaper but they
always look damn nice.
So what we need is basically a huge parking lot or a huge open area, can be somewhat offroad too.
Preferably something with a nice background to give better impact.

I've seen that fuck. He grabbed two people at the Shepard/I-10 intersection while I was waiting for an inspection. I didn't know HPD had gotten any Camaros, but I'm not surprised. They used to have them in the 90s.
>>15297473

So basically all we have to do is hit 149 and we'll never see them again.
>>15297537
considering 149 is several cities and two counties away, yes I think we will have little trouble with the Houston PD there

Then we have a lot more bitch ass cowards in this thread than I thought. I will never understand these fools who are petrified to exceed the speed limit.

Also its great you speed and all, but if we're gonna race each other, why not doing where we can focus fully on racing and not having to watch for cops or pretend we're brian o conner. I dont give a fuck if you want to street race, just dont block roads to do it. Traffic here already sucks enough as it is.

it was a 16 porsche cayenne and he got all her info. apparently it's some shitty insurance we've never heard of. I hope he gets it all sorted out
If someone else causes an accident can their insurance total your vehicle or can you force them to fix it regardless of what they want?
>>15297904
of course, it had to have been an x6, cayenne, or some other luxury suv. People like her buy them so that when they crash, which they will inevitably do, everybody in their path will die, but they will stay safe.

Speaking of anime, there is an "Anime Slaps" event going on. It's at clay and gessner, I don't know what the fuck that is or even anyone has been there before. All I know is that they do vinyls and whole wraps of anime on vehicles. It's on Saturday, I'm thinking to pass that place or not.
Houston anon here. I've never seen this thread or meet before. Is there any requirements? been reading this thread. Sold my 350z and currently only have two projects that may or may not be ready by next meet. Are yall friendly towards trucks?
>>15299647
>I've never seen this thread or meet before
I guess you haven't been browsing /o/ for the past half year?
>Is there any requirements?
1) Don't be a dick, 2) install Zello.
>Are yall friendly towards trucks?
We're open to everything.
>>15299661
I have, i must have missed it. I come here maybe once a week or so. I'm not a dick. Checking zello now. I could get one project done by next meet I'm hoping, but either way, tis going to be from 0 miles and need some break in.
>>15299704
Well there was a gap of no activity between February and April, so it may not be your fault.
What are the two projects?
>>15299750
Well my main focus right now is an 2005 silverado that has been bored 130 over to 5.7l. new heads, camp cam, flat top pistons, msd plugs/wires. k&n cold air intake, obx wrapped longtube headers w/ true dual. blackbear custom tune. Trying to finish up the 4l60e, kolean steals, raybestos frictions, circle D torque converter 3k stall. transgo shift kit, corvett servero and 4th gear super hold, lots of sonnax parts. I'm haveing reoccuing leakge at pump seal. This will be the 4th time ive pulled the tranny in past month. Taking it to a transmission dyno this week to figure it out once and for all (hopefully).
I also have a 77 gmc jimmy with a 6.6l 400 sbc.
and a 1978 volkswagen transporter campmobile westfalia. (the hippy bus with the pop up top) both of which are close to derivable.
Does anyone here have a lift, engine hoist, engine stand, et cetera?
>>15299802
Ooooo, get the Hippymobile up and running. It'll fit in well with our MGB and our Imperial.
>>15294722
Isn't the thrill of driving enough?
If you are in it to be recognized and seek attention then you are in it for the wrong reasons, IMO. If you look at what the guys in the Midnight Club (probably the most infamous driving club in the world) did, they had a strict rule of anonymity and this could only be broken voluntarily by a person in the club if they wanted their information shared of their own free will. They did this for their own protection and the protection of the club.
If you are seeking attention from this then you not only are putting yourself at risk, but every other person in the club. And there isn't anything "cool" about getting thrown in jail for reckless driving or having your license suspended.
That's my opinion.
>>15300008
I think you took that comment entirely too seriously. I believe it was more about the "living" part, and being "seen" as in just being out there. Not a popularity contest or anything.
>>15299528
The gtis are gonna be money pits. If the owners didn't keep up with maintenance.
Also at that milage, doing chains is critikal
>>15299906
I still have my lift. Just need a little chain or balancer so it can have something to hook onto
>>15299434
If the car looks good as it does in the picture I may want to go thirds with you and drac or go halfsies with drac on the last 400>>15299442
Hey guys, I'm about to order some brake parts. Anyone have any recommendations? I know GS was taking about Power Stop, iirc. My rotors are fine to just be turned, and really all I need is new pads and sensors, but i'm open to any suggestions whether it's for a kit or just a full set of pads.
My pads, although sufficient, were already degrading before the meet and are now noticeably less effective (those 15mph turns after long straights doe).
Crosstour lives and no she was not a trap you assholes.
>>15301108
Check out EBC's pads, I have the yellow ones on front and back and they stop on a dime.
>>15301204
What happened to y'all at the meet
>>15301216
I didn't really have a scope on how long it would take to do that run and we were going to Comicpalooza the following morning, so we made it almost to Montgomery before deciding to turn back. We still had a blast at the meet and next time will hopefully be able to stick in a group longer.
>>15301239
you get your dick wet boy
>>15301204
Kek, you should have stayed for the run desu
>>15301108
As >>15301204 said, EBC's are pretty good from what I hear. Many people recommend them, personally I just go with OEM since they bite perfectly with my stock rotors than aftermarket ones.. so I guess my opinion doesn't matter much
>>15301245
Yea boi
>>15301257
I would have, but on top of getting up early we had a cosplays to make.
>>15301108
If you do end up getting rotors as well, look up Brake Performance. I got some slotted ones from them and they have been great. Just dont fall for the black zinc coated ones, the color fades apparently after a couple days of braking.
>>15298126
lmao i dont really have the hook up on all the clear coat i make
>tfw clear on tacoma
anyways someone up above was talking about knowing who is at the back of the pack. i pretty much did that at the last meet. always bringing up the rear, although i dont like the term caboose, how bout overwatch?
anyways i never thought about it but thats a very useful position to utilize
also i really wanted to pull an rx8 on friday but kept talking myself out of it
>>15301425
"Rear guard" or "rear detachment" would be a better term I think. If we use detachment it could then be shortened to "rear d".
>>15299079
Dent pulling, perhaps repainting, but repainting is fucking expensive.
I'm just tired of one entire side of my civic looking like shit
I think live streaming us a good idea when everyone has license plates that can be used against us. Pictures are fine but video can be evidence

I agree. I'm not fucking with that shit. I drive too fast as is.
>>15301239
>I didn't really have a scope on how long it would take to do that run
But we said like 10 times how long it would take.
>>15301204

By default you need 1) a car, and 2) a willingness to meet people.

Thanks, a buddy and I did the body work ourselves, so its not exactly show quality, but for a first serious job (and considering what it looked like before) I think we did alright. The engine and tranny I can do, its the interior thats killing me. I don't know shit about upholstery or woodwork...so inside its just metal and the two front seats. lol
