Sept 16/17 weekend Mod Meet

[Excelcier]

OK, my turn. Seems like our MC-NECO chapter is getting busy with many mod meets.. BRING EM ON!

Sept 16th is the official mod meet day at my place

directions;

http://excelcier.com/directions

1) Coming to Canada and braving the border

Bring a passport or a driver's license and birth certificate

2) Crashing over

More then welcome, bring a sleeping bag / air mattress and claim floor space. I do have a couple couches in my entertainment room already you can fist fight over. I also have one spare bedroom full of Jenny's stuffed animals and other girly crap for anyone who can stomach that environment if they need total privacy but be prepared to be humiliated and picked on if you claim it! hehehe Out of towners are free to come Friday night if you wish.

3) Food

Pot luck style.. bring something! I'll provide some stuff as well and a BBQ space. I suggest grabbing food from a grocery store after you cross into Canada so you don't have to worry about the border.

4) Cruising

I'm thinking if people are interested, we could even do a small cruise if anyone wants. Just an idea I'm throwing out there.

5) Headlight Flashers

Anyone wanting these, it's $100 and you're helping on the install, especially if drilling through the firewall is required! Try to bring some wire loom / extra wire as I'm running low from other installs ( 12-14 Ga ) and a switch of your choice. I do have some extra stuff but not much.

If possible, let's try to just keep this thread to a simple "Yes, I'm coming or No, piss-off" style so it doesn't get confusing. All Ohio / Toronto folks are welcome as well!

[Mike]

I'm gonna try my absolute best to be there. My birthday is on the friday (15th) and i'm not sure what the plans are for that weekend. I'll be sure to let you guys know as soon as I do. :)

Mike

[LadyX]

:smoke-g: parrrrrrttttteeeeyyyy!!!! :banana::banana:

[soldier989]

Canada...Cougars...Flashers!

I might be down for this, I had an amazing time in Detroit, and wouldnt mind claiming some of those ketchup pringles. This is really close to the Cedar Point meet, all that driving could get rather expensive. Then theres the border, where I've had minimal luck, nothing like a Canadian screaming and yelling at you. It was easier to get back into the U.S.

Will be thinking about this one.

[Tygerr]

No, piss-off

:tongue: That's too far to drive, sorry. Seriously though, I found it more difficult to get INTO Canada than it was to get back to my home country as well. I'm sure it's different on the south border.

[soldier989]

:tongue: That's too far to drive, sorry. Seriously though, I found it more difficult to get INTO Canada than it was to get back to my home country as well. I'm sure it's different on the south border.

To far a drive?? Its like 5 more miles than driving to Detroit which only takes a little over 3 hours. If I go you can tag along with me if you'd like.

[Smitty2430]

Put james and I down for a maybe as of now.

[LadyX]

sweet!

[Jorgen]

[EternalOne]

LOL! I'm not too sure how I'll get the hood to Detroit, unless you can talk Brad into driving his truck into Jackson with me one night to snag it. I still have the boxes that the two hoods were shipped in, along with the packing materials so I can make sure its good and safe for the ride...

E1

[jrak123]

hell I would take my hood off and drive down there to pick it up :rofl:

[Lunar Limelight]

[Excelcier]

Guess you can pick up your MIL Elims in person now! If you're planning on gutting your precats, Pierre is around the corner from me and he's the master of the precats.

[MaverickFlyer]

Tell Pierre to weld the hole in your precats closed as apposed to doing the whole nut and bolt method. That's what i did, you can't even tell there was a hole there.

[hamill]

I don't know if I'll be able to come or not....Christine's due on the 15th, and I'll probably be spending some time with baby :)

[happsmack]

oh and hopefully it doesn't snow this time!

[Excelcier]

oh and hopefully it doesn't snow this time!

Ummm... yeah... I highly doubt we'll have our mod meet snowed out like last time at my house!! hehehe.. you drove all the way to my place to hangout and get your headlight flashers installed and it snows... March, go figure.

[CougarBum]

I dunno.. I was driving into work today, and it was 14(60) degrees!!

[bensenvill]

pending no snow, I'll plan on making the trek up there.

[happsmack]

well I officially scheduled time off work...

[LadyX]

sweet!! and if it snows in September...wow...I think that'd be a record or something!

[mandy]

what city is the meet gonna be in? this may sound like a stupid question, but do you have to be working on your car to come or is it cool to tag along and learn a few things ??

[Lunar Limelight]

Come tag along! I'll be there and I don't have anything to do to my car.

[LadyX]

Windsor. It's a 5 hour drive from Keswick. So, that'd be 4 hours and 45 mins drive for you. Not counting traffic and construction.

[Excelcier]

what city is the meet gonna be in? this may sound like a stupid question, but do you have to be working on your car to come or is it cool to tag along and learn a few things ??

Mandy, I gave a link right at the beginning to directions and my address. It's in Windsor.

No, you don't HAVE to work on your car, you can come, socialize, hang out, learn something by watching or helping others, or just veg in a corner.. hehe... Lisa has nothing to do on her car but I may put her to work on mine for a change.

[Excelcier]

OK, I'm going to keep the origonal post updated with "Who's coming for sure and maybes"

Lemme know your status as of now or if I got someone wrong, let me know so I can keep it up to date.

[Lunar Limelight]

I guess I owe you some working on your car Ron.

[LadyX]

she'll gladly make it pink and sparkley for you!! :biggrin:

[Excelcier]

:eek:

[happsmack]

cool. what kinda mods is everyone doing?

[Excelcier]

I'll be working on my pillars and maybe headliner, turn signal lights maybe as well.

[bensenvill]

theres a good chance I will make the trek up [provided someone is nice enough to allow me use of their couch for the night].

I've got 2 mods that are high on my priority list:
1. svt radiator swap and tranny cooler [which I would need a little bit of supervision with].

or

2. battery relocation [were I will stand around like an idiot because I havent the slightest clue how to "safely" do it]

[Lunar Limelight]

and I'll be making Ron's car pink and sparkley

[LadyX]

:evil::biggrin: yup

[evilkowz]

OK I work on sat, but only till 5pm. If I can come it will be later, also, hopfully I will have new struts or full suspetion kit by then, and I can drive there on the natural hydrolics, and drive back stiff!
So that's a maybe!

[happsmack]

2. battery relocation [were I will stand around like an idiot because I havent the slightest clue how to "safely" do it]



do you have a kit and everything? I just did mine so I could help.

my plans:
Guts Pre-cats and Jaged RSTB

oh and Ron do you mind if I come up late friday nite because of my 6+ hr drive. instead of drivng early sat morning?

[bensenvill]

not yet, I know exactly what I need to order, previously I was too busy piecing together my suspension

[Excelcier]

Guys, as I mentioned before, anyone's welcome to crash over... that includes Friday night, you're more the welcome.

Bensenvill... battery relocations are my specialty :)

[jrak123]

Hmmm ron can we spoon if I stay?

[BigBalledOX]

I didn't get no battery relocation when I was up there. :(

you are limited to one mod per visit.


ron, I will definitely take you up on assistance on some battery relocation goodness [I feel very uncompfortable working on automotive wiring... and thats something I need to change].

any recommendations on which relocation kit to get [I was just going to get it from summit]

[happsmack]

cool I'll be up late friday nite then.

the summit kit is fine, but the battery box they give you is to big. I might buy a smaller one when I come up at Canadian tire.

[LadyX]

Hmmm ron can we spoon if I stay?
:goofy: not in MY bed...

[jrak123]

I am fine with doing it on the couch while watching Beaches :rofl:

[Excelcier]

< ignoring Jason while I vomit >

[LadyX]

hey! you're in luck! I have that video on VHS!!

[jrak123]

VHS what is that :rofl:

Don't worry ROn I will only use the tip.

The Summit battery box defies the laws of physics and manages to both suck and blow simultaneously. Are you running an Optima? I found a nice tray at www.batteriesareus.com, its nothin blinging, but its $20 and shipping and custom fit for the Optima 34/78 series. Or you can get some nice high-end bling if you wanna be uber cool, though those are usually $50 or more higher.

[EternalOne]

I love the metal Summit box that I have. It's big, its solid, and the battery doesn't move anywhere. I hate the cheap-o plastic boxes, had the weight of the battery shifting and break the plastic in previous vehicles. Of course, if you don't AutoX then you probably don't have to worry, but I like to overplan. ;)

E1

[bensenvill]

well I'm more concerned on just getting the wiring back there, I can always swap boxes later. plus I dont see it as a bad thing to have an obnoxiously large box, I can always use it to store some misc stuff.

and no optima, as amazing as those batteries are, the plan is something different.... mmmm motorcycle racing batteries... mmmm.

[Excelcier]

Since you've got an ATX, it's a pretty simple job to run the wire back to the trunk.

Make sure you also get adequate fuses. 2 in fact... one in the engine bay and one in the trunk for extra safety. You MUST use fuses for relocating your battery for extra protection because of the long exposed direct power cable.

I used this exact part, FH4ANL;

sweet. I'll pick 2 of em up. I also have a real nice battery cutoff switch leftover from my battlebot

[Excelcier]

Your Summit kit may include one already... you only need 2 total.

[bensenvill]

but quality is key.

what ampage should I pick up?

edit:
and I'm assuming this is the correct link?
http://streetwires.com/products/fuses/ANLfuses.cfm

[Excelcier]

Yes, get ANL150

[happsmack]

I have many fuses sitting around..... 4 150a ANL 4 250a ANL

[mandy]

sounds good, I desperately need help with my spark plugs! None of my friends around here will go near them cus they're sucha PITA! Maybe one of u guys can help me wit 'em? count me in for sure, as long as I can get the day off work!

[Excelcier]

Spark plugs are no big deal, I'll give you a hand with them... heck, I may grab me a set too since it's overdue probably.

drugs and excess amounts of cash

[Excelcier]

Yeah, passport is ideal, if not, birth certificate and drivers license.

[happsmack]

last time I came up all they asked for was my drivers license. but then I got selected for a "random" search. :banghead:

[evilkowz]

You guys like ANL huh?

[BigBalledOX]

You guys like ANL huh?

You kinda have to if you're hanging out with jrak123. :tongue:

[bensenvill]

well I'm out, my car will still be in the body shop... and... well... the final estimate puts be beyond my means.... this will also nix hamilfest.

[Excelcier]

Possible new addtion. If anyone wants to bring their PC, we could turn this into a LAN party as well since there's been some interest expressed in it. It won't be a "planned" event, but if you wanna bring your stuff and we do it, then we'll have fun! Maybe Sat night / Sun afternoon kind of deal.
