[jembebob]

I think there are maybe four of us trying to meet tonight. Carlisle parking garage around 8pm?? This work for anyone?

[Ihaitchu]

I'm up for something. I tried to get one of the Chambersburg guys to roll but I think they think its too far. Parking garage sounds cool, hopefully the po po don't sho.

[SpdRacrRabbit]

I will be at the parking garage at 8. If plans change someone please let me know 818-7735 Adam. I can't check the internet at work. See everyone tonight

[euro+tuner]

Yeah im down.

[hobo28]

my car is filthy, and I guess ill have to stop at a carwash on the way there lol. I hate living on a gravel road.

[hobo28]

sup yall?

[euro+tuner]

So since the parking garage is getting busted/ filled with honda guys, and the target parking lot is getting kinda old. Im thinking Spring Meadows park in Boiling Springs for this thursday, its basically an open field, with gazebos and ****ters. Any other ideas?

Anybody into riding up to the sonic? I'm thinking of checking it out.

[jembebob]

I had thought about it but na... meeting at spring meadows park on thursday if the weather is nice i believe if ya'll are down.

[hobo28]

how do I get there?

[euro+tuner]

Yeah the name of the Park is Spring Meadows Park, but thats pretty much useless because neither mapquest nor googlemaps knew where it was. So here is a map of where the park is, in relation to BS. The location is the green dot not the red star, so disregard that.

[Ihaitchu]

This looks like a decent spot. Are there some back roads for any good rolling shots near there?

[Ihaitchu]

So how was the park gtg? Did you guys get any good pics? I couldn't make it, I had to go pic up my wheels.

[jembebob]

just a normal meet but some of us got some cellphone pics from on top of the pavilion. then cruised to ritias and sheetz

[b5audi98]

passed you all last night. if i wouldve known you were cruising somewhere i wouldve turned around and caught up

[jembebob]

yeah i saw you last minute and waived haha. A couple of us were thinking about a cruise to somewhere sometime. anyone have any ideas??

[Ihaitchu]

Got the wheels on. I cranked it down another 1 1/2" but I think I'm gonna go lower tomorrow.

[euro+tuner]

Damn those are legit looking . I cant wait to see these at the next GTG.

[Ihaitchu]

I can't wait to show them off. Lol.

[jembebob]

Holy hell man... thats legit love it

[Ihaitchu]

I'm gonna try to tweak it a little today if I can. I kinda wanna wait till I get a skid plate (It may be a ***** piece but I will be a ***** with an oil pan HAHA) before I drop it anymore tho.

[hobo28]

next time I'm bringin some beer and brats, we might have to start meeting earlier for sunlight tho.

edit: I want some rolling shots too, thatd be dope.

you'll probably need a frame notch before a skid plate if you're planning on going lower. besides, i wouldn't worry about your oil pan. i'd be more worried about your control arm knuckles, which isn't anything to worry about cause they can take a decent amount of abuse.

the best skid plate is a cautious/observant/good driver

[euro+tuner]

Haha x2
Skid plates just get in the way of going even lower haha.

[Jar717]

Skid plates just get in the way of going even lower haha.

exactly. and a skid plate is just for rubbing on stuff. they're not designed as a shield for the oil pan. it's a bad idea to run over large objects thinking the skid plate will save you. doing that will just end up with a broken/dented/bent skid plate plus a broken oil pan.

[pigryder]

Yo fellas, I was the one with the mk1 GTI two weeks ago, Im back from vaca

[Ihaitchu]

So what's going on this week?

[euro+tuner]

Im not sure whats going on this week/ if anything. A bunch of the guys that normally come out on thursdays are busy for like the next week. If anything gets planned post up here, cause Ill most likely be free.

Im redoing my headliner and pillars for a second time in black....this is the last time hopefully, the work is so tedious.

[CHETVW007]

Hey guys. just found this thread. Im in Carlisle. Are new guys allowed in the GTGs?

[hobo28]

Ive heard if you don't use the 3m 90 series stuff it wont hold. I'll come out to the park thursday. I'm gonna bring something to grill and drink.someone should bring a camera theres a couple nice photo spots and deff some good rolling shot spots.

[Jar717]

Ive heard if you don't use the 3m 90 series stuff it wont hold.

that's not necessarily true. i used 3m 90 on my headliner, but i didn't apply it correctly and now its sagging. i have a some friends that used 3m super 70 and it seems to be holding up better than the 90. it just all depends on how well you apply the adhesive and the circumstances. (i did mine in the dead of winter and the adhesive can said it should be used in temperatures above like 70 or something )

[Big CADDY]

yo chet. we can have a party.

[euro+tuner]

Yeah the first time I did mine I used to Super 70 and and a fairly thick fabric, and it started to sag in the rear (in the hatch where the bubbled part is) . I think the problem originally was the type of fabric, it was to thick and absorbed all of the adhesive. Also I left on the cushioning, so it didn't hold the fabric very well.

This time I'm using a lighter weight/ thinner fabric, and I pealed off the original cushioning for better contact. Also I'm using Loctite High Performance Spray Adhesive. I did some testing with it, and it seems to word 10x better then the previous products Iv used before.
