Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

I know Kevin just painted his roof and tails, and it got me thinking...what's everyone else got in store for the cookout?

I personally have some bitchin samco radiator hoses that need to go in, a set of Mynes hood dampers, and hopefully an undertray. I really wanna order some springs and take best in show, but the evo is gonna remain on stock ride height until I can find a good deal on some new bilsteins to go with some nice springs.

*if* I get time, I'll be painting my tails....hopefully they turn out ok!

Any other bit bad-ass plans? I know some people like to keep secrets until the day-of, but I figure it's so close now, no one will see these setups until the cookout is upon us! So let's hear it!

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

ALOT of wax! I still gotta do a couple little touch up's on my car and she'll be ready!

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Get my new trim piece and the front bumper repainted. Then just get it running somewhat decent for the dyno.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Possibly show up. :P haha

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Car is down and won't make it :( I will probably still go to chill and see some sweet cars.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Hopefully have my car sold.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Hopfully get some coilevers and wingless trunk

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

For the Galant;

50 trim is going in with 1200cc injectors, JMF intake mani, and E85 tune.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

I sure would love to have my cams installed if FP ever gets off their ass and actually makes a few sets. I love 3-month backorders and I especially love companies that constantly lie about it.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Rollin on some Evo rims with KDW's that Aaron is gonna trade me! (I hope)

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

No major plans for me as I'm broke but maybe some tinted taillights and clean up the engine bay. Also gonna try and get my COP working and get my heatshield buffed.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Would definately like to have a look at you car :)

As for my Galant a ton. Gotta redo the wheels, stainless brake lines, radiator install, general cleanup of entire car, fuel pump, new powdercoated valve cover and heatshield, and if time allows fmic with custom piping. Yeah little crunched for time :D Might just make it look nice instead :p

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

sooo much body work left... bumper, grill, hood maybe too. all of my door panels are off right now, and the car needs a detail badly.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Put on new headlights, spruce up the engine bay, rub my cock on the car for a good time.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Lol, make sure you do that before the cookout, not at the cookout!

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Well now that the majority of the paint work is done on my car (still wanna paint the hood), it needs to be completely buffed. I spent a couple hours after work sanding and buffing the stuff I painted on Saturday, but I still have most of the car to do. I bought a buffer today so I'll be able to do the rest of the car at home. Other than that, I gotta clean up the interior alot. Being a daily driver makes it a little dirty sometimes :)

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

My plans for the cookout are to be on the other side of the city driving my car fast(ish).

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

A good street tune, cleaning, and my new sound system. Im sure ill think of more. My engine bay "WILL" look better then the other AWD spyders (blageo23).

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

1. Teach the wife on how to drive my m/t car so she can drive part of the way to MN. Getting old and restless. :bf_nonew:

2. Hope that the dsm survives the trip there and back and for a few more years.

3. Clean the car up. Haven't washed and wax the car for a good a good 3 to 4 months now. Going to try to get that black mirror finish off the car.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?

My brother in the vette

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

I painted all the mesh pieces on my car tonight. :)

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Maybe just get the car detailed and a new fender but my car is in shitty shape body wise so it doesn't really matter for me....:frown:

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Drop the car 2" with sportlines and kyb agx's

Put in energy suspension bushings (3 weeks to order and ontop of that FedEx needs help...)

change the rear end to a 4 bolt

POR 15 all the pieces that make up the rear

Clean up the wiring from the MS2 system and make it looks nice(yes, ms2 works!!) Tune it a little...

find a boost gauge to go over 20psi

Found a sun roof with a detachable switch from U pull, install that

Clean, wax, detail, drive, repeat...

Almost there...:1smiley.php:

Last year didn't make it but this year will be there!!:nod:

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Anything else?!

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Red or yellow? :D

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Pink. Mark can't have the only pink paint at the Cookout!

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

evo- get the 8an feed and return line installed and the pink fuel rail

talon- install a hot pink valve cover,and wash it

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Maybe if I don't have the gsx sold at that time I can have the second most ricer 2g there! I believe the #1 spot is still spoken for.

And on the talon I want to tuck the main wiring loom under the intake mani, that's about it. Oh yea and get my fuel pump rewired so it actually works reliably.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Switch to E85?:spin:

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Welp Aside from some cleaning, I'm ready to rock for the cookout. When I started this thread last week, springs were at the back of my mind. Then look what happened! Heh!

Mynes Hood dampers installed (note, matches black car perfectly ;) ):

Springs installed, and was at Jeff Forss (thealgnmentguy) yesterday when MAP called begging for a last-minute alignment on their FDSM...He put his foot down, I LOL'd!

Took this shot this AM, NO other cars for hundreds of yards around me. Right after I took this pic, this douche in a tan CRV pulls up and literally parks right beside me, wrecking the shot. I was out of the car, camera in hand, crouched down and obviously taking pics. Actually, you can see him pulling in, just over the hood of the car:

So, I settled for this shot instead. Time to start cleaning her up, need to install my new pimpin' radiator hoses too (ugly bulge in one of them :( )

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Looking good, Scheides!

My bumper and grill are getting painted right now. Then I just need to clean the engine bay, give the body a good wash and I should be ready. Sadly, I'm pretty sure I won't have enough time to fix my new hood and get it painted. :(

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Looks good! Scheides.. did you run it through a car wash? Your engine bay is dirttty too.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Plans? Oh yeah, um... get it back on the road?

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Lookin good Scheides.

I will be getting my bumper and trim piece back today from Maaco. I will also be finishing up getting the setup back together as much as possible, and start trying to dial it in as best as I can for the Dyno Day that Saturday.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Dirty Fajirty

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

Well the 96 Talon Tsi that everyone knows about is actually running now. So i'll be showing up with it all cleaned up and waxed. Also hoping to give everything under the hood a good polish.

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 

plans for me before the cookout. I will arrange by car:
Red Stealth:
Install DNP hardpipe kit
Clean
Samco Radiator hoses
Just using the red one for the show

White Stealth:
Pick tranny off of floor and install
Swear alot while installing said tranny
Clean and drive it just for the dyno day and friday night dinner.
