Local Raleigh Activities this weekend......

There is a Car show in Garner at Kick Back Jacks (just down from Grill57). It is a fund raiser event. Click here for details http://www.oldride.com/events/1294425.html

This weekend is also the last seasonal Cruise-in for Grill57. My understanding is Goodberry's is also allowing parking for the Grill57 event and overflow parking for Kick Back Jacks event.

My guess is, there should be a city block or more of cars with both events. Suppose to be great weather Saturday as well.

 

Thanks Jim I've always wanted to stop by and shoot the breeze.

 

I was talking Seymour Johnson. I haven't really gone on Bragg much but I have noticed a lot in Fayetteville.

 

^^ Luke I posted last page that I think there is 4 evos in town beside yours.

 

I would like to have hit up the Grill57 meet one more time this year, but I have a soccer game this Saturday and Sunday so I won't be able to get the car cleaned up AND make it a meet this weekend.

 

drum roll... I'll be working. Have fun!

 

Your prob right. I know 2 got sold and one guy wrecked out. I saw a Capt driving one a little while back. Just seemed more are disappearing than showing up. I also have been on mids for nearly a year so unless I happen to see it when I'm heading home I prob miss a majority of them.

 

Spotted a black IX today at Red Bowl off of Capital around lunchtime. I think it had a roof rack...Ronel?

 

It's gotta be.

 

I saw a black IX on Capital around 6:30... no roof rack though

 

Yes sir! That was me! Sorry, I haven't been on here for a while. Any future meets?

I hope everyone is doing well!

Today I had a chance to put my car on corner scales over at Performance Chassis. This is a far more accurate way to determine how much your car weighs than going to truck scales. For one thing truck scales are designed to deal with many tons so there is a big difference when you weigh something at over 22 tons and something else at less than 1.5 tons.

I had a little better than 3/4 of a tank (indicated) of gas and no one in the car.

LF 977 1047 RF

LR 689 611 RR

total=3323 lbs.

Cross Weight 1738 or 52.2%

Left weight 1666 or 50.1%

Rear Weight 1300 or 39.1%

I don't have coil-overs so there is no adjustment for each corner. I have Swift Spec-R springs on factory MR Bilsteins.

Your mileage will vary

 

Does anyone have the following laying around that I can buy:

Bolts that connect the oem exhaust to the rubber hangers
Three bolt that bolt the muffler up to the rear section
Studs/nuts that bolt the cat to the rear section

 

do u mean adjustments as far as weight? I am confused, can u explain pls.
thanks

 

Yep. You can "corner balance" a car to affect the weight distribution, but from what I read on the second link below, it only affects cross-weight balance (LF+RR to RF+LR). I'm sure Jim could speak with much more experience on the subject, but if you have non-adjustable factory struts and shocks, there's not really anything to do.

My black car was corner balanced. If you spend that much for a suspension, might as well get the most out of it.
