Is that the 20th of this month? And where exactly will it be taking place?
Yes, it is the 20th of this month. It will be at Hendricks Motorsports. Her is the link to the flyer http://www.carolinacamaroassoc.org/Flyers/2010%20car%20show.pdf

I'm not in NC but I will be at the show at Hendricks on the 20th.

I'm planning on getting the Jasper 200 as well. The centering pin does come with it, right?

My personal favorite is PT Cruiser.
Runner up would be S-10 Blazer -
Chode's pic from the post your girl wearing DC thread is my wallpaper!

I'm not sure if this matters but it will be a satin finish.

I am planning on redoing my door panels. The car is a 4 door. The front doors will involve fiberglass and filler so, that isn't my problem. The rear doors have an insert that will be replaced with a piece of MDF painted to match the front panels. Do I need to do a coat of filler to keep the wood from absorbing paint or can I just do a couple of coats of primer?

This is one show I always try to make. This year however it looks like I may be accompanying my wife to a Halloween party. I may have to go see Billy and at least get a shirt though.

Very nice rides indeed!! Anyone know anything about the lifted truck (Thumper) in the background of the SS pics? Last show I seen him at he had some wires burn and was talking bout redoing it.

I still use an old copy of Rockford's Term1

I might go any idea how far dat is from asheville?
I have no idea. I always use google maps to get an idea on how far away a show is. It is about 3 hours from where I live.

In my experience with this, it's not a good idea to take sandpaper to your soldering iron tip, but I promise I won't lose any sleep over it if you guys do.
My mom is the one who started teaching me to solder. She used to work for a company putting circuit boards together. I still use her old iron. It has two trays on the side one holds a small amount of flux the other a small piece of emory cloth (sandpaper).
-
I'd only do that if you don't plan on soldering with that tip anymore.
A little sandpaper and some flux should take care of anything that would get on it.

Any SMD members planning on going to Sr8pfest? It is Sept. 25-27 in Concord, NC. I am going to try and go if my car is back from paint.

I took my car back to the shop to have them check the alignment. They immediately checked the bearing and it was bad. Had to replace the bearing and the hub because the bad bearing had worn into the hub. The problem with this is I do not drive this car much and if the bearing was so bad that I needed a new hub, why didn't they notice the bearing was bad 2 months earlier when I bought the new tires and had it aligned?
They were still blaming it on the air ride. They said they would show me how bad out it would be at different heights and give me a print out. I told the tech the highest pressure I could stand to drive it was 75psi and the lowest I could physically drive it was 50psi. When I returned to pick the car up I asked what he found out at different heights. He said at about 100 psi the toe was out of spec but anything between 50-75psi was still in spec. So. that kinda blew their theory of the air ride causing the tire wear right out the window. I now have a vibration sometimes at around 60-70 mph. I am going to rotate tires to see if they are the culprit of the vibration.

thanks for the replies, but i would like to get something "name brand" not jensen, valor or brands along that line. i was thinking more like Alpine, Eclipse, Pioneer, Clarion...... i have looked at some but im not real sure whats good.
I know it's not Eclipse or Alpine quality but if you are looking for all those things you may want to take a look at Jensen. I have the vm-9512 and love it. I think it meets all of your requirements except being able to change backgrounds. Here it is..... http://mobile.jensen.com/jensen/JensenProd...UCT_ID=VM9512HD

thanks for the reply Cary. Yes, that is the the bolts I was refering to and the air strut mounts also have oblong upper holes to help with camber adjustment. I am already a regular over at the crew. I use the same handle over there. Actually, it is because of you that I'm over here at SMD. I checked it out when you were doing your build and became addicted.

more info on ur set up is needed
Car is a 01 pt cruiser( http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3153289 ) I have Easystreet struts in front, Slam Specialties bags in rear and have two dual needle gauges to monitor them.
-
You must have had it aligned then are driving with it above the ride height that it was set on during the alignment.
I was very careful to drive with it at the pressure it was aligned at. I was hoping to get more life out of this set of tires. I also have new energy suspension poly bushings and new balljoints. Is there anything I need to pay attention to that might affect toe and cause wear like this?
-
This is continuation of my other post about the issues I'm having with my tires.
What kinda mileage are you guys (and girls) with adjustable suspension getting?
Do you drive at ride heighth most of the time or do you play with the switches?
What brand and size tires are you running and what kind of vehicle?
Thanks for any help, Dwight

I have nothing but good things to say about suicide doors. They always ship very fast and they have always thrown a free goody in the box with my order.
-
That was my first impression as well. The tech doing the alignment said he was able to bring it to spec using the adjustments in the strut mount and eccentric bolts.
-
I am having some issues with my car (FWD). I have just changed to the Easystreet struts. I bought new tires and had the front end aligned. I had this done on March 30. I drive the car maybe 3 times a week. So I am sure I have less than 3000 miles on the tires and they are down to the canvas on the outer edge. I have an appointment monday with the alignment shop for them to check it out. They are not familiar with any adjustable suspension and have asked me to find out anything I can out about what can be done to correct this. I hope I have given enough info for you guys to help me.

pt cruiser batt size
in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)

I don't know anything about XS but, it depends on what you have done under the hood and what lengths you are willing to go to as to what you can make fit. Do you still have the factory airbox? If not, you can fit a larger battery in there. I have a 34/78 Optima in mine with a billet tray over it. I have seen cruisers with two batteries under the hood.
