Yeah, what Rich said... come on out anyway to hang with fellow VXers, compare mods, and talk endlessly about how freakin' cool our rides are. There'll always be Attica, but (as it's plain to see) it's a little more difficult to get even a small group together, so that's why we decided on dinner & drinks instead of wheeling (this time).

Oh, and speaking of wheelin'... I don't see your name here ~> http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...?threadid=2467

Got my PV2 installed today and boy is it loud. Its a good low rumble, but its really loud compared to stock. Rich, maybe this sunday we can compare them and you can tell me what tip you put on etc. I actually dont mind the outside noise, its the cabin noise I'm really looking to get toned down.

Looking forward to the weekend,

I've got the 1st gen. PV cat-back system, and it's much quieter than Rich's PV2. It'll be interesting to compare 2 different 2nd gen. mufflers.

Had great time tonight. Nice to see old faces and meet a couple new ones. I hope everyone made it home OK and Gil, I know you'll get those pics up soon.

[yal^]

Yeah Gil, I too hope you get those pics up soon

Thanx for the meet, it was very nice to see you all.
When do we do it again?

How about Januaray 17th in Attica, Indiana? You can put those new BFG A/Ts to the test.

Just got back home today. Had a great time meeting you all. I'll try and post some of the pics I took if I can get my camera battery recharged. BTW Rich, here is the info on my replacment bulbs just incase you lost that little piece of paper

PIAA W2 - replaces parking lights, part number 19224
PIAA T-6 - replaces dome light, part number 19223

PIAA reference - http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-Miniature.html
Place I bought them - http://www.lightningmotorsports.com/piaa_bulbs.htm

My head lights are the Sylvania SilverStar's 9003ST, I ended up just buying these at the local auto parts store. They had a buy 1 get 1 at 1/2 price so I jumped at it, saved about $9.00 and didn't have to pay shipping.

As for the badland's meet on the 17th, I'll have to see if I can make that.

BTW Yal, Anicia had a blast playing that hot air baloon game.

Happy Holidays!

looking forward to the pics.

Yes, very nice seeing you all. Gill, I'll keep you posted on the Proton. Job #1= rustproofing. The only places I see are Ziebart and Rhino. Ziebart is about $350 for a full rustproof, underside and inside panels. Rhino is about $150 undercarriage, but must be re-applied annually at $100 a pop . Rhino is not the bedliner, supposedly it's clear. Any suggestions (I'll probably go with Ziebart)?

I know these are dark, but thats what happens when you dont take pics till the end of the meet

Yal's Proton:


Yal's New Shoes:


(These have to be the largest tire you can put on a non-lifted vx, the pic isn't very good, but they look awsome.)

My Dragon:


Nocturnal's Ebony:


Analog's Astral:


Parking Light comparison:


On the left are my piaa w2 replacment's and on the right are Yal's stock bulbs.

Cool pics! I'll get mine posted when I get home from work later. Great meeting you Kasha, Jay, and Anicia (is she gonna get her own?). Rich, we have to get back there soon! Mike, glad you could show up, it was good seeing you again (too bad your Proton hadn't arrived so we could all take turns checking out the supercharger ).

[omegavx]

She likes my vx, but I think she likes the "smooth" ride of her toyota to much to change. Everytime we go on a trip she always tries to steal my keys and jump in the driver seat

I think I finally decided not to change my tip or make any modification to the PV2. After hearing the PV1, PV2 with smaller tip and finally mine with stock tip, I think I'd rather just get used to the interior noise and get the full external effect then loose it.

Rich, you never know, maybe I'll be there
You are right, I need to put my tires to the test. I was just wandering, if they are so big they fill up completely space, won't they tear up the cladding if I get a little crazy?

Omega, please tell Anicia I also had a great time playing baloons with her. We have to do it again

And thank you for posting pics. I would like to know if you wouldn't mind if I put some of them into my gallery?
Hopefully we can take more pics in January? I'll try to clear my schedule for that!
again.

[omegavx]

Yeah, you can use any of the pics I posted. I just dont post them to my gallery cause I like to provide the largest file size possible. If you need the originals in any other size let me know and I can email them to you.

You know, I was thinking the same thing about your tires. If you hit a really big bump wont the tire get pushed up into the body cladding? Or is like 1 inch enough clearance?? What do you think Rich/Gil?

If I can make the 17th we'll definatlly get alot more pics. I have several 128mb disk's for my camera, so it has room for tons. I can also use it to take 5 to 10 second video's, so we can come back with tons of stuff to post.

Gil, I want to see your water excursion video. Any chance of posting it here? If not could you maybe send me a hard copy? If you need a place to host the video let me know I can put it on one of my servers without a problem.
