Rochester / S.E. MN

does that mean you will join us for the semn cruise next weekend?

 

Nice numbers pat! Your car feels strong on the street. We'll get it fine-tuned soon enough, you can see the results of the boost spike on spool up in your dyno graph.

-Steve

 

i'll be texas....or i would....and i need a new tune..asap..and a new bov to try and see if thats my boost leak...:eek3:

 

yeah, you can really see it peak and fall off 4 or 5 times on each pull. You can also see it in the AF ratio on the bottom. Any idea what my IDCs are? I think they were around 65% before. maybe we go for more boost and a test pipe - we'll crack 300 on that dyno!

No new mods, we just had a dyno day so I wanted to see what it was doing - I'm pretty happy with the numbers, but it is a high reading dyno.

 

easy dyno or not your car is making more tq relatively which is nice- probably a function of your exhaust compared to my ebay piping with no cats job?

I sort of wanted to attend that event, but my C43 had some fueling problems (fixed with a new modified Pierburg pump)

Okay. Josh and Lee. I have no idea what is going on... :ugh:I think I've missed out on what time we are leaving on Sat!! Is the Rochester group going to meet and then head out to meet everybody else? I'm lost! :hsugh:

 

Well, that's up to everyone here I think.
We can meet up for breakfast first and then leave or just all meet up in Zumbrota.
We'll need to be there by 10.
What are people's thoughts? I'd like breakfast first, but that's me.

 

I'm with you Lee. Breakfast and coffee sounds good and then we can gather as a group.

Steve... New Steve. You better come to this. Same goes for those of you Rochester people that don't have to work. It would be nice if a large majority of the Rochester crew showed up.

 

Lynn has plans for me, but I'll see if I'm back in town where I can meet up with everyone.

 

Do it! No Rochester meet is complete without Pat!

 

Im on call all weekend so can be more then 20 from the hospital.

 

Most of the shenanigans will be in Rochester itself if you want to come...
Just PM one of us.

 

so what is exactly the plan. Hopefully i can make it to atleast part.

 

We'll be getting dinner at HuHot around 4-5ish (I hope).
Bowling after that (probably at Colonial lanes)

 

Somebody text us updates as to where and when during the day - hopefully I can meet up at HuHot or bowling/drinking

 

Pat, I need your number. PM me?

 

Hey guys, I'm going to be getting breakfast at Perkins tomorrow morning at 8AM. Come join me if you want to meet up before Zumbrota.

 

I so need to figure out whether i can do group texts or not.....

 

so wich one...or will you magically be at both of them at the same time?

also im assuming you mean north side

 

also there is a sleazy strip club near our designated lunch spot..... desert?

 

Sorry I didn't make it guys! I wanted to go, but I didn't go to bed from Halloween until 6am this morning! Had an absolute blast though. Captain Jack Sparrow anyone?

-Steve

 

^^^ LOLz nice costume!!!! What a great cruise! Props to Lee, Jill and everyone else that helped put this together. I had a blast and i hope we can continue doing this cruise in the future.

Rochester FTMFW!!!!!

 

I guess I should introduce myself here, as I am a proud owner of a Subaru now


The short:

My names Bob, im 20 and I work at Mayo. My first car was a 96 Mustang GT, and it was fun while it lasted. It has since sat in the garage for a good while now..it needs a clutch and I havent had the ambition to put one in. A year ago, I bought a 05 Gsx-r 600, and rode the crap out of it, and recently traded it in on a 08 Gsx-r 750.

Two months ago, I started looking for a new vehicle, and I stumbled across the 08 WRX 5 door and fell in love with it. I had always enjoyed subarus, and i had a good opportunity to pick one up. However, Clements wouldnt work with me for a damn, so I started looking for a new dealership. I called Bloomington Subaru, and started to enquire about the 08s. The sales lady started talking to me about waiting for an 09, and mentioned the boost in horsepower and torque. I decided to order one, and was told that it would be a good 6 to 8 weeks until it arrived. I was hoping to make it up on thursday evening to pick it up, but we couldnt make arrangements until Saturday evening.

I've only put 200 miles on it since then, and have loved every second of it!

I'll post up pictures later, as soon as I get some snapped.

I believe I'm the only Satin White Pearl 09 around here, because Clements hasn't recieved any 09s yet.

If you see me, feel free to stop and chat, or wave. Whatever melts your butter.

Bob

 

welcome ninja!
congrats on the recent puchase... hopefully we'll see you out and about sometime. feel free to stop in at advance auto and chat if you see a blue gc sitting in the lot

Pics are up in the photo gallery

 

Welcome! Your car is very nice looking! I love the Subaru white!

 

Random aside: I just dropped my Super Nintendo off at the local Vintage gaming company next to the rec center to see if they can fix it. It stopped putting out sound/display about a month ago and I've been having a total SNES craving that has gone unsated! I also need to pick up a new N64 console so I can play zelda on it. Man that game was fun.

-Steve

 

Im pretty sure I have a SNES and a N64 laying around somewhere, probably in a box from the move. Come to think of it, I have an original Nintendo, and a Sega Genesis somewhere too.

 

Welcome Bob... I believe i saw you at Hoover elementry school during the voting festivities. If not then i guess it must be someone else with a satin white WRX with bloomington subaru license plates LOL nice car, I tripped over the curb staring at it.

 

lol brad = clumsy stalker

 

Yup, that was me. I was sitting in my car when I saw you trip over the curb actually. haha. I kidnapped a friend that was planning on not voting, and brought her to her polling place haha

 

PM'ed you to see if you'd like to sell all four of those. I will buy them all!

-Steve

 

Yeah, let me check and see if I have all the appropriate cords and what not, or do you have those, and just need the consoles? I know where all the consoles are, but I cant guarantee that I have all the connections and what not.

 

stole the bannana right outta my pocket..eeer uh words outta my mouth!

 

:laugh::laugh: NERD!

 

I just need the consoles for the SNES/N64. I would need the power/RF out for the NES and also the cables for the Sega. However if you can't find them easily I can buy some online for cheap too, it's not a big deal. From what it sounds like, my SNES gave up the ghost and is fried. Truely a sad deal, that system gave me almost 20 solid years of HARD play. Oh well, memorial service at my apartment tomorrow night....... :laugh: Let me know when I can pick them up, I'd love to get my hands on a new SNES console ASAP.

EDIT: I would also need the controllers too.

-Steve

 

So I found my NES, and my genesis, but at the moment my SNES is MIA. It looks like I have 2 controllers for my genesis, and about 10 games.

I have 2 controllers and a gun for my NES and about 10 or so games as well.

I'll keep looking for the SNES and the N64

EDIT: I found the n64 with 3 controllers, and about a half dozen games, along with a Game shark. I found the power cord, and the AV out stuff as well.

I found the SNES, along with one of those cannon dealies, 2 controllers, and about a dozen games...I didnt count. I also have the power cord and the RF thing too.

 

Shweet! PM me how much you are looking to get for the whole lot of them. I ASSume that everything is in working condition? :biggrin:

-Steve

 

Where is a good place to buy paint for my stock wheels here in town? And how much do I need? Fleet farm had some paint and primer but I don't know what brand. Can someone suggest stuff they've used (Mano)? I need to get my winter tires on soon - obviously because it's sleeting out now.

 

I used Duplicolor wheel primer, paint, and clear on mine.
1 can of each per wheel would be quite sufficient.
I found that AutoZone has pretty cheap paints.
Make sure you scruff the surface up well before painting on.
You might want to use adhesion promoter to help.
If you want a really good paint job, you should look into the writeups that Mixx has done.

 

was also curious about this myself...
on this same topic, does anyone know where I can get transparent red spraypaint? I want to paint the orange on my tailights red, I looked all over but with no success....

 

Spraypainting the lights is not a great idea, as the paint will likely just flake or peel off.
Better, try to source yourself some red tint (ala Rockblocker) and cut that to fit.

 

Well I gave in and put the snow tires/wheels on the outback. Bring on the "wintery mix"! :biggrin:

-Steve

 

well i'm actually going to be painting my 17's in the next couple days... i'm going to be using the high temp enging primer, paint, and then the wheel clear.... i'll post some pics and let ya know how it goes for me

 

Fights

Unless someone else is going to; I can host Randy Couture vs Brock Lesnar PPV this Saturday. So ya all are welcome to swing by. Good time to meet our two new puppies.
