Brian,
Very nice looking shop you have there!

Thanks so much,

I'll be coming out tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting you all. I'll be going to Cbad Cars and Coffee Carlsbad first starting at 7, then I'll head down. So I'll be there a little later, like 9:30 or 10.

If anybody is coming from the North, or will be passing by North County, let me know. It'd be great to meet up at Cbad for coffee and then head down. -Danny

Don't forget SCCA at the Q Sunday, Danny. Bring that beautiful RED car of yours out for a spin on the autocross course with us.

NEXT TECH DAY.....THIS SATURDAY, MARCH 23rd!

Oh neat. I had plans to detail my truck on Saturday... But...

Long story short. Last month I bought a '95 NA. So now I have the NC and NA. There are some things I want to do the the NA... they mainly start with stiffening it up as it feels a bit like a noodle compared to the NC.

The car is in excellent condition, wait 'til you see it. But at some point it it's life, the original owner high-sided it and bent the driver's side frame rail. So the first thing I want to do to the car is add something like this:

Do you have those in stock Brian? Do you think I can get lift time to install those? I thought about pulling the bit that's bent before installing these, but I might not need to. I think these can just be bolted in regardless, even if that one bent part would not allow a bolt.

If you have other chassis stiffening components you recommend as a whole, please let me know. We can also discuss more of it there.

Essentially, before power mods and all that, I want to get rid of every flex, squeak and rattle throughout the entire car. I do have on power mod that will also equate to a rattle-mod. The stock header's heat shield - the part that's on the bottom right before the cat, rattles like crazy. I could take off the heat shield and add an aftermarket, non-rattling one, but I could also consider a new header altogether.

I'll eventually need other chassis reinforcement components, including a roll bar. Another thing I want to do is replace all the bushings, but we can do that at a later time.

Hi Danny

BossFrog ships those Frame Rail kits direct to our customers, we don't keep them here. Ric at BossFrog says it could be here by Friday for $54 ship cost. Rocky is the man to talk to about lift time, if interested in getting those going, email me and I will pass that to him to get you started on setting reserved lift time.

Hi Brian, nah, I don't want to pay $54 for shipping. Those are what seem like an easy install and I can do it in my garage, later on, no problem.

I'll wait on that for a bit because I'm considering a Boss Frog bar, and if I do go with that one I'll order both at once, slow shipping.

I'll shop around for a bit on your site and see what else I might like. Thanks.

Please join us for our tech day this Saturday June 15th from 8-3ish.

Our Shop address is 2951 Garnet Ave San Diego, CA 92109.

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope to see you there!

Great day! Thanks to all who shared the fun day.
