I might head to the cars and coffee at Holman on Saturday morning if weather is nice…

It got dropped off this morning but I had to head to work before I could really spend any time with it…and it’s filthy from being on an open transport so tonight should be fun cleaning and inspecting.
No power steering - but it’s under 2k lbs so not much muscle required.
Hopefully we can find some time to get together once I have it tagged and the weather clears up…and yall can take it for a drive.
Yes, we should def get together and catch up! Unfortunately, I am unavailable this weekend, but maybe good the following weekend. If better, we can meet at my place or any of you guys places.
Got her cleaned up and looked over - not a perfect car but pretty happy with what I see. Need to chase down an obnoxious rattle in the exhaust heat shield and get her out on the road to see what is next on my list.

I’m a bachelor this weekend and next so I’m sure I can find time to meet or host. 🍻

I am open to making the visit to your place next week. BTW, if you're interested in vinyl wrapping or PPF, I can help. Just get the materials and I'll do the work for a burger and coke. LOL

I am PPF'ing my wife's porsche exterior and interior (this done already) and it's easier than vinyl wrapping IMO.
There is a slight chance I meet my wife down in Miami next weekend - let me decide on that in the next couple days and assuming I don’t travel we can try to meet up at our place in Ladue.

I might take you up on wrap at some point -- I like the red, but my wife would prefer something less flashy (black, gray, chalk…maybe satin finish). That said, the car is small but possibly not easy to wrap due to having big one piece clamshells front and rear and the paint wrapping into the interior of the doors.

Sounds good, just let us know and we'll make it work.

As for the wrapping/PPF, maybe try wrapping part of the vehicle, like the hood using CF finish. I do have some matt black vinyl left with enough material to wrap the hood.
Looks like I’m staying in STL this weekend. Both days look pretty nice…still any interest in trying to meet up?

I will be spending Saturday morning at the DMV and have a charity deal Saturday evening/night, but the rest of my weekend should be flexible. Any events you have seen on the calendar this weekend?

This is all I have seen:

This saturday won't work for me either as I have a golf outing commitment. However, Sunday early afternoon might be an option.
I am free Sunday also.
Sunday weather is looking pretty nice. I’m flexible to meet up. Don’t think there are any Sunday events so we would just have to create our own.
I am free after 12:30 pm Sunday until 3 pm ish. Prolly wash my cars at my place, so you guys are more than welcome to come by. If interested, I will DM you my address.
Anyone going to Fast Lane for C&C on Saturday?
Looks like a great day for it, but probably a no go for me. Too much family fun prep to step out for the morning. Happy Easter to y’all. Cheers
Already committed this Saturday...
Met up with some awesome folks for a cruise.

Just got your PM and sorry had a gnarly nail in the tire. Just put on some fresh PS4S. We should get something going with the group.

No worries. Getting together sounds nice!
Is anyone interested in trading a factory x-pipe for one with AA test pipes installed? I have the original cats to go along with it, 97ishk miles on the cats and test pipes have about 10k. I need to tone down the corsa exhaust a little and I'm thinking about going back to street class with autox.

So you basically need an unmodified factory pipe from the headers to the axle back with the 4 cats and dual resonators, correct?

Im sure someone here might have that. I basically have a similar setup as your current except I have no resonators and only the secondary cats.

I'm fairly certain secondary cats and resonators are in place still and the primaries were the only thing removed as that's all I have separate from the car. I'll be under there today to confirm.
