I want to change the needles to white and everything else blue to match my Panasonic radio :)

[HanweiGotRice]

yeah...I was thinking the same. I put down blue needles...but I may want the white ones...........everything else is blue for me.

[Manny_TXtreme]

Alright bro, up still now I still say my place is the best place. Long ass drive way which is about to be under construction but that hasnt started yet. I have a 2 car garage that is not in use execpt by my car. John and I always pull my car out to work on mods in the garage.
We can clear the side with stuff in it so we even have more space. By the way my driveway fits 8 cars or more no joke.
I do believe there are 2 people from nyc who need their leds done.
On fridays I go to school and I'm back by 6pm. On Saturdays I work and I'm back by 5 but if we decide on saturday I can cut it and be back by 3pm.
I dunno guys, suggest something but I already talked to John (NYONE WAY) and even he says that my place would be the best venue.
Let me know bro.

[Manny_TXtreme]

Oh yea as for me. I want :

red lcd/gas
red lighter/ac controls
red clock turn signals
blue needles

I'm installing a TRD Reverse Silver Guage (Not cluster) so I dont really think I would need my oem gauge done.

[Skunk Killer]

ok...that sounds great, now I need u guys to vote for the date and time for me to do
and I need directions soon u've decided
pls lemme know asap
in case I don get on board that often
skunkiller@hotmail.com
thanks~:)

[SPY_GT-S]

I would like to meet in Boston, Friday or Saturday is fine.

I'd like BLUE for Temp/Gas LCD and BLUE OEM GAUGE.
WHITE NEEDLES.

Thanks!

[StreetFighter]

I'd say meet in Boston on Saturday afternoon. Do any of you Boston ppl have a garage?

[HanweiGotRice]

Saturday LATE afternoon is best for me. after 4, to be safe.

hmm...I don't have a garage.........we could meet at the Cambridgeside Galleria and use an empty part of the parking garage......but that would cost a few bucks (fine with me, but it's up to you guys)...and I dont' know if there are electrical outlets.

right now, that's the only place I can think of...that has a roof...

If there are no electrical outlets, if someone has a dc-ac power converter, we can use one of the cars as the power source.

[Skunk Killer]

yes, I defintely need a power outlet for this
if someone got a DC converter, make sure it's more than 100W

so Sat afternoon after 4 ok for everyone ?

[SPY_GT-S]

Yeah Saturday afternoon after 4 is fine with me. You got all the info you need from me right Skunk?

Thanks,
Steven (SPY_GT-S)

[StreetFighter]

Cambridge Side Galleria is fine with me too. 4pm is fine I guess, can I be the first to get this done? LOL...I wanna leave first.

[SPY_GT-S]

Do you guys have a cell phone number, in case we need to find each other?

My cell phone number is 617-650-9317 and my name is Steven.

[StreetFighter]

617-407-5643 and I'm Chris.

[HanweiGotRice]

Saturday 4pm should be fine for me.

Can anyone stop by the Galleria to see if there are outlets in the garage?

Cell# = 781.789.7699
Hanwei (pronounced Honway)

[Skunk Killer]

ok, got all ur #
now I need easy(for dummy) directions to Cambridge Side Galleria
I'll be hitting Freeway 95, so let's start from this...

so 3 of u in total for Bostom ?
last confirm:

StreetFighter(Chris)-Blue lcd/gauge/clock/turn White needles
US$190

HanweiGotRice(Hanwei)-same as above
US$190

SPY_GT-S(Steven)-same as above
US$190

wat happend to "TopSpeedCustoms" ?

[SPY_GT-S]

Actually Skunk, I'll have the same as Streetfighter and Hanwei, I decided I wanted my turn signals and clock to be blue also.

Sorry for the inconvenience... :D

[StreetFighter]

Sounds good. So Skunk, can you meet us at Cambridge Side Galleria at 4pm this Saturday? Do you need directions?

Hey guys, which garage are we going to meet at? Should we meet somewhere in Chinatown first and then drive to the
Galleria at the same time? Let me know what you guys thinks.

[SPY_GT-S]

Skunk, u can go here to get directions to the Galleria:

http://mapquest.mallfinder.com/cgi-bin/mqtripplus.exe?MallID=238&State_Origin=CO&CompanyID=23

Or you can just go to Cambridgesidegalleria.com to get directions there also...

[HanweiGotRice]

Hey Skunk,
Just to make sure...the mods you listed for me include the OEM Stereo too right?

OEM Guage
OEM Stereo
Needles
Clock
GAS/Temp LCD

Just wanted to make sure. :)

StreetFighter,
There's only one garage at the Galleria isn't there? The one I know of is by Sears. I live right by the Galleria so driving out to Chinatown is way out of my way. I'll just meet you guys at the Galleria at 4...and I'll call you guys then to see which garage we're going to. yeah?

[HanweiGotRice]

Skunk,
Could you also bring white needles for me?...I'll let Streetfighter get his mods done first so I can see what the white needles look like on the blue gauges...and I may go for the white needles. I'm just worried that the blue needles may be too dark. Thanks man.

Hanwei

[Skunk Killer]

no prob...

[SPY_GT-S]

Skunk, did u get the directions?
And did u get my modified list?

[Skunk Killer]

sorry just read this...nonono..it doesn't inlude the OEM STEREO
it takes 46 LEDs to do that which cost $140

SPY_GT-S: yup, so u 3 will have exactly the same mod

I'll figure out the direction and c u guys there~

[TopSpeedCustoms]

sorry skunk, but I can't make it. I have somthing to do this weekend that can't be cancled.

What sucks is I've been waiting for this. I've got cash in hand but can't go.
I was even thinking of having a friend of mine take my celica up there, but he can't do it. (plus he's not to good at driving stick)

I'm really sorry I can't make it. Are you going to be around again?

Exactly where are you going in Jersey, I may run down there on sunday if thats where you'll be.

please let me know.
TopSpeedCustoms
all red conversion. ~ $140 correct?

[StreetFighter]

As for the garage, the lot is pretty big so we gotta know which lot to meet in. I think the Filene's lot might be a lil emptier than the others. I'll be there on time since I live 15 mins away. Hopefully everyone won't back out.

Does anyone have that outlet for Skunk to do his work on????

Hey Skunk, how do you get rid of the orange that is on the gauge cluster?? Do you scrape it off??

[HanweiGotRice]

well sign me up for the OEM Stereo please. In Blue. Thanks!

[StreetFighter]

Hey Skunk, $190 is a lil steep man. You think you can reduce it to $150 for us? :)

[HanweiGotRice]

yeah...no pressure...but can we get an itty bitty discount? :)

[Skunk Killer]

TopSpeedCustoms:I'll be goin to NYC the next day,then NJ the next next day. check out the forum to find out where I m

StreetFighter: I need a power outlet (100W) to do the OEM gauge
yes, I scrape off the orange paint.

as for discount, I do give discount to ppl who do everything
which includes a/c,cig and OEM stereo
but I'll see wat I can do to u guys...:)

[HanweiGotRice]

Problem:

My car has been in the shop since last thursday (drunk lady sideswiped my car while it was parked) and it was supposed to be done and ready for me to pick up tomorrow (thursday). BUT I just called the body shop and they said it won't be done until "this weekend". I asked him if there was any way it could be done by Saturday for me to pick up and he said "yup".

Question:

okay. So assuming my car's done Saturday, I'll be there as soon as it's done. mostly likely no later than 4. BUT, in the event that it's not done until later...like 5 or 6 or 7...I could go to my body shop earlier, take out the guages, stereo, etc and bring it to meet you guys right?....Second question, I don't know if there is an electrical outlet at the Galleria. Do you guys want me to call my Body shop and ask them if we could do the installs there, and use their garage? It's in Malden...from the galleria you just hop onto 93, take exit 32 and it's a few miles down the road. It's only a 15 minute drive (not even) from the Galleria.

Let me know ASAP if you guys want me to ask my body shop aight?

Also, Skunk, if the location changes (ie: if we decide to do the work at my body shop) after you're already on the road and can't check the board, don't worry. We'll still meet you at the Galleria and head to the body shop then.

Hanwei

[SPY_GT-S]

I'm fine with going to the body shop.

[StreetFighter]

Doesn't matter to me, just wanna get it done. Let me know by Friday before I leave work though.

[HanweiGotRice]

aight...cool.

I'll call my body shop tomorrow and see what the deal is.

worse comes to worse, the plan stays as is. ie: everyone still meets at the galleria at 4 on Saturday.

I'll either be there with my car or with the parts from my car. hehe. I'll post tomorrow.

[Skunk Killer]

BIGGGGGGGGGGGGER PROBLEM NOW!!!

called my car rental company today and was gonna pick up my car as they promised last week. Unfortunately, somebody crashed it bad, now they got no car for me!!sux!!:(
went check out all others, the fastest they can get me is a 4X4
the new Aztetc I guess.from wat I heard it's a gas eater
so definitely nope!~then this company finally hook me up a JETTA:) but this SUNDAY!!!!>_<!!!!I know I know...:(
so my new plan is....I'll take off on Sunday
gonna have to squeez Bostom trip on early or late Mon (after ur work is fine)
so....don't have to rush HanweiGotrice, give ur body shop some more time to do better job

lemme know how I can hook u guys up now....thanks
sorry for the bad news.....

[HanweiGotRice]

aight...no problem man. Shiit happens.

Monday after work (5:00 - 6:00) is fine with me.

Streetfighter? SPY-GT-S?

[SPY_GT-S]

As of now, Monday is ok I guess.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

ALRIGHT!!!! Now I'll be able to make it. SO monday at 5-6 pm at the gallaria.

PLease post the price list again so I bring enough money.
all red conversion.

[StreetFighter]

Crap, I am not going to drive into work man, that costs me $18. I'll drive into work only if you reimburse me for parking hahaha.

Can't you go to a different rental car company?

[HanweiGotRice]

dude just do it!

I'm actually not driving in either...but I'll leave work at the latest, 5, then T it 15 minutes to my place and grab my car...so it's fine for me.

[StreetFighter]

If I take the T home from work it will be 45 mins and then by the time I get home and by the time I get to wherever it will be late.

[HanweiGotRice]

so......are you going to drive in to work?...

$18 isn't so bad....I mean, it's a one time deal...........

[StreetFighter]

I'm poor.

[Skunk Killer]

ok...great then
I'll still meet u guys at the galleria place on Mon ?
or somewhere else with a power outlet ?

StreetFighter:sorry for the inconvenience but if u could,
take off ur gauge cluster and ask Hanwei to bring it to me
I'll make it tight ~:)
lemme know if this sounds good

[SPY_GT-S]

Skunk are we still meeting on Monday (tomorrow) at 5 or 6

[TopSpeedCustoms]

I'm going this afternoon at like 4:30 so if anyone wants to show up early, I'll be there.

I've shortend my order(cash problems), to just the lcd, neddles, a/c, cig. and the oem guage. in red.

see you guys tonight.

[StreetFighter]

When and where are we meeting?

[TopSpeedCustoms]

they had said the cambridge side galleria, in one of the parking garages. after 5:00p.m. Or so I've been told.

[StreetFighter]

Which parking lot? Do we have a power outlet?

[TopSpeedCustoms]

I don't know. Someone else was soppsed to take care of that end.

someone had said near filens or somthing. I'll just drive up and down till i see a power plug and park there.

[StreetFighter]

I'll probably be there around 6:15. Let me know where you guys park so I can go to that lot.

[SPY_GT-S]

I just hope Skunk shows up.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

if he is coming, he's probubly on the road by now.

Did anyone happend to get his cell #?

[StreetFighter]

Nope, didn't get his contact, just his email. So you guys are going to be at the parking lot near Filenes?

What colors are your cars?

[SPY_GT-S]

HEHE it's in my signature.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

black 2001 GT-S

This guy better show up. Does anyone know what he drives?

[StreetFighter]

So your car will almost look like mine =P

[StreetFighter]

Does anyone know how long it will take him to do 1 car at a time?

[TopSpeedCustoms]

I think he said like 45 min to an hour depending on what you want done.

last I heard from skunk was on saturday, when he pmed me my price, as of then he was still coming

[StreetFighter]

I see, so we'll be waiting a long time then if 3-4 of us show up.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

bring a gameboy or something to pass the time.

I wish I had my monitor in already, I'd sit there and play GTA3 while waiting.

[StreetFighter]

OK, just to confirm. Cambridge Galleria around 6pm in the Filenes parking lot. If you get there first, try to find an open
area instead of parking and hiding in a group of cars. It's easier for us to spot each other and for Skunk to find us as
well.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

gotcha! I'll be there sometime after 5:00

[StreetFighter]

I'll try to leave work at 5pm and get my car and leave my house and try to get there around 6:15.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

Cool.... I'll see ya there.

[HanweiGotRice]

Hey...is there anyway we can push this back an hour? to 7? As in you guys don't have to be at the galleria until 7?

The only way I can get my car done is if I take Skunk to my body shop at 6. I talked to my body shop and they're okay with him coming ONLY to do my car (they said it was fine for my car only, and only if it took less than an hour to do). Is there anyway I can be the first car to be done?...ie: I'll meet skunk at the galleria at 6 and bring him to my body shop to get my car done...then afterwards we'll go to the galleria to meet you guys to get your cars done?

This sucks, I know...it's just that I don't know how else to get my car done. It's really no different than our original plan, except I'll be going first...if that's okay with you guys.

Is this okay with everyone?

Hanwei
Cell#: 781.789.7699

[TopSpeedCustoms]

why didn't you just take those parts out and bring them with you, anyway it's not our decision.

If you get there and there's already 4 or more people waiting. I don't think he'll leave to go to your bodyshop, when he's got people waiting with cash in hand.

See what he says when you get there. Its really up to him.

[StreetFighter]

Just take the gauge cluster out and have him do it at the Galleria.
I'm not gonna stay up all night waiting to get mine done.

[HanweiGotRice]

I see your point. I'm not saying it's the best idea. I mean, I don't know how to take my guages out nor my stereo...so...I have no idea what to do.

I mean, if anything, you guys will have to wait 30 minutes more than originally planned. not that big of a deal.

oh well...I guess I'll just show up at 6 at the galleria and we'll see what he says...

[StreetFighter]

Original plan was to meet on Saturday. Oh wells, I'll just have to pass on this then. I'll stick to my stock gauges and save myself some $.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

check some of the installs to see how to take it out. the guages are just 5 screws. the a/c is another 2. and it's like a few more for the clock and stereo.

[SPY_GT-S]

TopSpeed, what color is your car? so I can recognize you.
My car is in my signature.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

black 2001 GT-S, you can't miss mine. I have scorcher T/A with red stripes.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

also, Anyone thought about how much it cost to park in the parking structure. I know at the providence place mall it cost an arm and a leg.

[HanweiGotRice]

fukkin aye. I hate when body shops don't finish with your car when they tell you. If my car was done last thursday when they said it would be there would be no problem.

Streetfighter, don't pass cuz of me. I'll have to pass this time. Get your guages done man.

I may drop by the galleria just to meet you guys and to talk to skunk to see when he'll be heading back from his trip. Maybe I can catch him on the way back up in a couple days/weeks.

Sorry for the trouble.

[StreetFighter]

Depends on how long we stay. Probably no more than $10

[StreetFighter]

Naw, get yours done man and tell me how it comes out. Then I'll get mine done next time. If not, I'll just order the TRD gauge or something. It's no biggy to me. I should be getting my spoiler in sometime in a few weeks so I'll be happy with that mod.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

well, either of you don't miss out. you may have to go to canada to get it done. he's going all the way to cali. so he may not want to make another trip for quite some time.

[HanweiGotRice]

well...it's up to skunk if he wants to go to my body shop. If he's cool with that, then I'll get my stuff done...otherwise, I won't. It's up to him.

it's either that, or if one of you is willing to shoot over to the body shop with me while skunk's doing someone else's car to help me get my guages and stereo out, then head back to the galleria...I'm seriously worried about fukkin something up by myself.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

well see what we can do, see ya tonight.

[HanweiGotRice]

yup...I'll see you guys later tonight. I'll be in the black Mitsubishi Galante (rental car).

[StreetFighter]

I'm 50/50 about getting the leds done now. Well if I don't show up, let me know how it looks. I'll just get them done the next time he makes another trip. Thanks.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

I got mine done, And they look awsome. SPY_GT-S was there and got his done also.

[StreetFighter]

I tried calling SPY and Hanwei but no one picked up. OH wells.

Take pics of it when you have a chance. Did it look hard to do? I'll try to see if any of my friends can do it.

[TopSpeedCustoms]

nahh, it's pretty easy. it just finding the right kind of led light that he used. I tryed to ask him where he gets them and he wouldn't say. (trade seceret)

[HanweiGotRice]

yeah...I was there while Skunk did TSC's gauges...it looked tight when it was done.

Streetfighter, our cell phones probably had no reception in the garage...oh well.

I wasn't able to get my car there, nor my guages or stereo...but skunk said I could send my stuff to him when he's back from his trip and he'd do it for me at his place.

[StreetFighter]

I'm sure if you ask around we can find out what LED's he uses. I'm sure it's not that big of a secret.

[HanweiGotRice]

There was a post about the LEDs...a LONG time ago.......you'd have to do a search for them.

[Need4Spd]

yo guys..
I'm from down in PA.. and I missed out on his trip down (car is in the shop).. I'm trying to get the people together that missed out on his trip down who wanna try and catch'em on his trip back up to toronto.

Right now, he's en route to FL.. but apparently he will be making a stop in VA on his way back up (Monday 13th). We can communicate through them maybe.. anyone with me? I volunteered my place in the tri-state forum but if there is a # of you from NY who are interested and have a better place to meet, no problem here.

If anyone is interested.. reply here or reply to my post in the tri-state forum :)

[Chris25NJ]

I'm interested...i'm in north jersey...he wasn't all that far from me on the 7th (yesterday) but I had school and couldn't go.
