SOCAL MEET: Let's organize a MOD day!!!

I figured almost everyone of us mods. our Lotus.' I also find the camraderie extremely helpful when it comes to upgrades. Some of us are more mechanically and electrically proficient than others (I am neither), and can pass on that knowledge to others...

I wanted to see if anyone was interested in meeting up on a future day to help each other mod. their Lotus. This could be anything from the "improving your A/C mod," "extending the range of your alarm key fob," up to removing your front clam (maybe...)

DRS Welcome to DRS has graciously offered their grounds where we could all meet up on a weekend, and help each other with simple installs and mods!

*DATE: November 22, 2008 9:00 A.M.

* ADDRESS: 700 E. Lambert Rd Units I & J
* La Habra ,CA 90631
* PHONE: 562.694.2226
* FAX: 562.694.5244

I'll make 2 lists for attendance and interested mods....

1. plastique999
2.
3.
4.
5.


1. improving your A/C
2. extending the range of your alarm remote
3.
4.
5.

I should be getting my engine damper from ForcedFed. We could install one car with the mounts and one with the damper and see what the difference is.

**How did the moderators get involved?

EB Turbo, thanks for the hospitality....let's do this at DRS.
The thing we have to decide now is a date. I'd like to give people enough time to order parts if they are interested in installing. Therefore, I'm thinking of november 22 ... how does this sound?
We could then go karting afterwards as well.
I don't want to conflict with other meets (10/18-10/19 is LCS at Spring Mtn., 10/25 wknd is Hearst castle meet). Next option would be in Nov.

Temporary list:

1. plastique999
2. knucklehead
3. Iman
4. Murix
5. EBTurbo (DRS sponsor)
6. DMBrown34
7. Xziteme
8. Sleeprfocus
9. ruggedBert
10. FluxexigeS
11. kaz

Mods:

1. A/C mod
2. alarm remote range increase
3. shifter reenforcer
4. engine mounts
5. engine damper
6.
7.

so many events coming up for september and october...just my opinion and/or suggestion: november might be a better choice, more time for people to get parts in etc. less conflicting event dates...except SEMA which is on the 1st week.

but whatever date we decide i will try my best to be there, to help and get help

-cheers!
