IT'S DETAIL DAY TIME AGAIN
#1

alrighty then - all settled in now, and time to think about throwing another detail day here in socal - the last one was great, and this one should be even better - i have more space, better light, and a bit more time to work this out



spring is just around the corner and our babies need to look their best



i'm looking at saturday march 17th, starting about 9am - my better half is out of town, so i am free to drink all the beer i want



once again i plan to have the paintless dent removal guy here (already spoken to him and he's agreed to give us a break on the work) - i can also arrange to have the wheel repair guy here - i do need to get an idea of how many guys need their services though



so, time to break out the buffers and get to it - i'll have everyting here - it'll help if you just give her a bath before you arrive, but i can hook you up with the stuff for that too



whatdayathink?



email me so i can get a head count, and give you directions and such

Wait a minute...shouldn't every day be detail day? Just finished the 944...968 is next. Garage is heated though. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/cool.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Here's what's left over of 4 inches of "ice pellets" earlier this week here in Northern VA. Oh to be on the west coast...hoist one for me!

eric - very likely - you know me



i think we had a half dozen cars last time - this time i have more room, and am set up to the extent that i think we can do 3 cars at once - we should be able to get 8 or 10 completely detailed through the course of the day

DAMN, I really need that paintless dent guy. I've got like 10 little dings in my car. And it could really use a polish and fresh coat of wax. But I will be out of town this weekend, and unable to attend. I will be drinking though! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



I should just pay one of those guys to come to the house. It would be nice to know that they have experience with our cars.



Have a good time, take pics

I was soooo close to being able to drive down for this. And wouldn't you know it... friggin' WORK gets in the way again and spoils the fun. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/mad.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



But I'll be there in spirit, and planning to drink a few spirits as well dealing with the work nonsense while you guys are having a blast <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



HAVE FUN !!! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/cool.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

If Bob provided great "hopitality", there must have lots of good beer. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Someday we'll have one of these on the east coast - or I'll pull a "Flash" and take my car to the west coast.



Glad it worked out.

Well, what can I say! It took Bob 18 months to get me to come to one of these events, and now I can't wait until the next one!!



Awesome day, the best people, and Bob's garage is just out of this world! I felt like I was rolling into a McLaren pistop at the Nurburgring! Oh, and your hospitality wasn't bad either <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

The brace has definately made the car feel 'tighter' when turning, especially when changing lanes fast! It just feels more sure of itself. I guess the 'roll' is more down to the suspension and the makeup of the car, but I'm not really sure I mind that. I once drove my mates Boxster 2000 and it felt too 'rigid'. Maybe that's just me <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



The airbox mod I can feel, but not as much. The sound is definately better, and I'm sure some of the 'raspiness' will go after I install the rings. Today I'm also going to reinstall the cars plastic undertray (not sure what it's called), beneath the front bumper. I took it off because it kept getting caught on the concrete blocks every time I parked the car, but I guess I'll just have to get used to parking in reverse! I'm thinking this will help 'funnel' the air a little bit better into the airbox and hence I may get more of a benefit from the mod. What does everyone think?



All-in-all I would say I'm now ready for my next mod. Now let me see....<img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
