NW WA Meet / BS Thread

@Shadowhunter how long of install did the shop quote you for your next install?

 

didn't they move to colorado?

 

I didn’t ask. I’m bringing my core front to him Friday so he can build it and I’ll slap it in. Next Thursday is just the rear.

 

That’s their home base as far as I know. They have little “shops” in a few places. I read on another forum Nitro OG owners sold it to another conglomeration. Suspension Connection, Just Differentials and Nitro are basically all the same thing like the Trail Gear companies conglomeration.

 

After not getting any tracking info since last Friday info I made a call this morning. It will be minimum two weeks before they ship. Ordered straight through Nitro Gear. No mention of back order or out of stock.

 

That's what happened to my exhaust I ordered in the beginning of June......
It MIGHT get delivered on saturday.

 

Anybody got any more info on Gallagher? Google says its near Cle Elum if I'm looking at the right one. I've never attempted it, but I have done Fins n Things & Top of the World in Moab, along with Imogene Pass in Colorado. I might be able to join near the end of Sept.

 

Saw this at the top of Hawkins trail. You will be fine.

 

Yea, trail doesn't look too threatening if that was at the top haha. All trails mentions calls it a "challenging route" while Gaia mentions it being "moderate." I know it's relative to driver experience, just wanted to know what I would be getting myself into.

 

bought myself a bucket list car, a 1977 280z


and then ran it into a deer a few weeks later

 

I did it a couple weeks back and was my first time off mainly forest service roads so you will be fine.

 

I did the same thing with a lacuna seca blue e46 m3 about 12 years ago. Hit a deer in E WA 2 weeks after buying it. Really sucked esp the part with it being in the shop for like 2 months.

Congrats on the cool new car, bummer about the deer but that’ll be in the rear view in no time.

 

That’s crazy I’ve been driving all over EAWA looking for a deer to kill and you guys are smashing your sports cars off them

 

About 20’ from my driveway this morning…

 

A little surprised he had already dropped his velvet

 

recommendations on a tire shop to truly balance my 285 MTs? im sick of going back and forth to DT to fix a shimmy on multiple tires and in the process scratching them. 3rd time at DT and id like to be the one that scratches my own property tyvm lol.

been breaking necks all week but im dying in cab from vibrations!

additional info; i have no drive line vibrations and my other "daily" wheel set is balanced and true

 

Who’s got a dual arb compressor? It’s been a while since I last used mine, like 2yrs, and went to use it today and one sounds normal, and the other one sounds like it’s been rode hard and put away wet but is gonna give its best try to keep up but just can’t do it. I’m getting good power to it, swapped both plugs from one compressor to the other but it doesn’t make a difference. Video clips are of each compressor running solo.

Yup already bought a “new” fender and headlight bucket that I got primed after some hammering and some body filler

 

mine were done at best tire

 

Cant remember what area you are in, but a local shop to me (Santis Tires in Puyallup) has always treated me well. Got my 37s balanced (some with 1lb of weight) and they balance up to 42s haha
