Sell me your grill!

 

Make one yourself. Took me less than an hour.

Got my Prodrives on tonight. The stock mufflers were filled with water. I had my hog-zaust for less than 2 months. You guys sticking with this mod might want to do something to prevent this from rusting the mufflers from the inside out.

Picked the perfect day to get my summers installed. 33 degrees and snow/sleet/rain mix all day. 18x8 +48 Rota Gravels in Hyper Black and 225/40/ZR18 Continental Extreme Contact DW tires.

Hog-zawst is on it's final days for me. Prodrive cans will be here tomorrow.

Issues? Am I supposed to have any?

 

Just the spec B with inverted Bilsteins. I'm still piecing together the info, but most people recommend a JDM spring. Good to see 2 people without issue. Give me hope.

^Thanks! The Cobb stuff rides and handles incredible for a daily driver. I'm just not too sure about the 8.5" wide wheels.

 

Stance is perfect. No issues with the inverted tophats with Cobb springs?

My new to me spec B.

well crap, I thought it was my plugs, but now that I think of it, it hasn't really been that cold since I did the plugs... so looks like I'm getting some new o rings. Thanks for the info.

 

Was hoping for that too. Just picked up my spec. B with 22k miles on it and noticed a rough idle as described. Hopefully the new revised gaskets fix the issue for a while. I'd hate to do this again next winter. Any chance this could be covered under warranty or with a TSB?

These folks are bored with their own state :-))

 

Sad isn't it?

You guys should be full of ideas about the places where we could grab a bite while in Madison.

 

Are you looking for anything specific? I mean there's Hooters, Texas Roadhouse, places like that, etc. I'm not sure if there is much "local flair" or something specific Madison is known for. I know they have a micro-brewery (Capitol Beer), but since we're doing the New Glarus thing already I dunno. I'll ask around and see what I can come up with.

I updated you on the list murdoc158. I need to find out who has GPS in their because I need to assign team leaders for the drive.

 

Everyone should read the last few pages of the summer drive thread to make sure we all understand how this will work.

 

Here's a few key points I copy/pasted: (written by f1anatic, the organizer of this event)

 

Ok. I would like to know one thing. Who is officially in charge of the Wisconsin troops for this meet ? Is that you ZZZTECH ? I would prefer it is you since you seem a very no-nonsense kind of guy, unlike some others.

 

I have no idea how you will organize your people BUT I would prefer if set things straight here. As far as I can tell there will be a number of you coming from different places and all meeting in New Glarus.

 

Once in New Glarus - since you will likely arrive before we do, I want you to select one of you guys to be the designated TEAM LEADER (a guy with a GPS and walkie talkies). Yes, please share the walkie talkies among yourselves, just like we will do. Also , please have another member with GPS and walkie talkies fill the role of Caboose.

 

If you are familiar with how I am organizing the things, I plan on having key people at certain positions within the convoy as to ensure we all know where we are going and the convoy will not split up. I know that you personally do not have a GPS based on the spreadsheet but I would like you to mark those cars with NAVI with a dot (I have for instance a yellow tape from which I will cut little pieces and stick them to the back windows of all cars.). I want you to mark the TEAM LEADER and the CABOOSE with 2 dots, on both the front and the back windows, such as they are visible yet to not impair the driver's visibility.

 

I am asking this because I will have a command structure in place and I want us to seamlessly integrate and work as if we all left from the same place. I do not want in New Glarus to establish the hierarchy and the command structure once again. It is all very simple actually: I want TEAM LEADERS - clearly marked and evenly spread thru-out the convoy, each one followed by 5-6 cars (with or without gps). All team leaders have walkie talkies and navi and they know where they are going and will drive knowing they are responsible for several of the cars behind them: stop at lights, intersections, railroads etc.

 

My guy who is running CABOOSE will still be the last guy in the convoy after we meet.

 

I also want ALL of you to refuel in New Glarus. We will NOT stop for gas anywhere else before Madison - though I do recognize the fact that some of you living close by do not have to refuel and may not come to Madison with us.

 

I leave it up to you guys to decide, but i feel it is important that when we meet we do not have organizational issues.

 

Thanks.

 

Yeah...the walkie talkies...please use the same frequency as we do, duh ! On the first page of this thread.

 

Well, I will have GPS as well as walkie-talkies. If the Accord comes, I'll make sure he brings his GPS and he can use my second walkie-talkie.

I'll be meeting at Brookfield Square. 2005 Arctic Silver Saab 9-2x Aero. Might have a buddy meet us there as well in a 2007 Black Honda Accord V6 6MT.
