Hey guys,

Sorry for the short notices, but I'm down in LA this upcoming Friday to help my friend to pick up his used Lexus.

So I wonder if you guys are up for a "mini-meet" or something?

We are going to be at Southbay Auto (South of LA) sometime around 1:30-2PM, assuming yahoo-maps' is right about the travel time to get there.

FYI, I'll be rocking stock....if I remember what James (SD_MR_fit) had to deal with when he went up.

EDIT:

Southbay Auto
13303 Inglewood Ave.
Hawthorne CA, 90250

 

Why will you be rocking stock?

 

Less attention to cops...

Just got the stock airbox on and front plate...just about it

Edit, I may carry my SHG_Mike inspired airbox with me

 

subscribed for interest! i just read through your scoop intake build and i've been toying the idea of starting a similar project myself. i have the basic shape all sketched out but i'm a little stuck on how to run a duct or tube from the cowl scoop to the stock intake box, i could use your enlightenment

hopefully Ghettoboy, Willitfit, or Saiko read this thread soon - those guys are the masters of impromptu mini-meets LoL..

 

Here what I'm planning to do, I'm going to use cardboard to get a basic shape, and shape the form to fit. As for getting the ducting, on the the Gruppem cowl, you'll notice that it's just mounted by bolts and it looked like __/---\__ (front view) or something like that.

The ducting itself just going to be right under it.

The sideview is where it get complex. In the Gruppem, they just rebuild the whole cowl to guide the airflow into add-on, I don't want to do that....yet.

What I may do is build that part onto my scoop and the front part of the ducting as addon. So it look something like a sideway "s."

Hopefully that'll help...or bring more questions.

 

hey hey hey....what you trying to say huh?!?!?!

i think i just got a hard-on.....

and yeah forsure we will throw you a mini meet!!! just give us a time and date and what you want to do and we can work from there!

Mostly likely I'll be in Socal at Friday around 1:30-2pm, buying the car shouldn't take more than an hour. So you guys want to meet up on Friday around 3pm for food? I'll be most likely tired from the drive.

I'll let you guys pick what great to eat, make it a local's favorite .


I'm still debating weather or not to stay the night, but ATM most likely.

 

Update, I will be staying over for the night. So we can have something plan on Friday or Saturday.

How guys feel about food and a photoshoot? Granted I just have my camera phone LOL


Should we be trading numbers or something?

Thanks alot guys

 

SOUNDS GOOD!!

if your staying all day saturday you can drop by Extreme Auto Fest/D1 and hang out, look cars/girls/events.

as for friday, you worry about the food and photoshoot business, we got the covered.

i'll PM you my number.

 

PM reply.

Thanks alot guys

 

i like cookies...

 

So what time is everyone meeting up?? and where??

 

think he's hinting that he wants cookies from up North

 

Updated with address of the dealer.


What kind of cookies you guys want from the North?

 

So is Mrs. Fields going to PERSONALLY deliver these cookies herself?!

if so...then i want
1. white chocolate macadamia nuts.
2. oatmeals.
3. snickerdoodles.

(this is from Note.)

 

You guys want to meet up at 3pm? West Covina? Sorry I never been to Socal before, so I don't know the locals' eats.

West Convina is where I'm going to stay the night at my friend's, but if you guys know a better eat (and petty cheap, I'm broke ) your welcome to add your imput.

Again, thanks alot guys

P.S I'll bringing the cookies, would a baker dozen be enough?

 

good luck. I would really painters tape your whole front end.

i have like little chips everywhere from that trip.

That was a horror story for me, but i would do it all over again, just doing it the right way.

painters tape,Nitrogen from costco (they can fill your tires), and um....yup Stock height!

 

Just bought the cookies.


I'll staying at

S. Sentous Ave West covina


So...I need to find food around that area...sorry for the lack of readiness

I'll call "WillitFit" once I found the area that we should meet up....I'll be PMing my friend's address.

From my friend, just a few blocks from his place there a nice a tea shop.

Once again I'm sorry for the lack of readiness.
