New England B.S. Thread

I just finished my daughters exhaust. Would have been quicker but stupid Chevy used metric hardware for the pipe to cat flange. I brought home some 5/16 and 3/8 hardware not expecting metric so had to use the cheap Lowes stuff

 

I'd be game for Miguel's place depending on my schedule..this time of year is a peak time for my part time job

 

Well we started with the 19th does that still work for people. Chris if you can make it I will go. I am in

 

It might I just won't know for a bit.

Just TW, or co-ed? Might bring the wife..

 

All TW meets you are welcome to bring the wife, gf, kids, dog, friends

 

Let there be light(bar)!

 

I'm definitely in for the 19th. I'll drag Sarah along

 

Alex is the mannnn. Crafty basturd.

15s and dash lights. Big day

 

Mike would cry if he saw my wiring...

 

How bright is it

 

Does he drive like an ass? Supposedly the manual is worse on gas than the auto on the 2nd gens from what people have said on here.

 

I like this idea

 

Yea he gets on the gas a lot. But apparently he's been taking it easy. I'm happy with my MPG. I got a little angry the past few nights (felt sick) and wanted to get home I got 16 mpg OMFG. 6k shifts, launches, rev matching sorry truck

 

If you guys do the Mexican thing on the 19th, I'm so down for a beer tasting in the near future!!!!

 

I can't do dinner time on the 19th. Might be available for lunch though.

 

Think I am heading to Loon on the 19th but would try and do a beer tasting in a couple weeks if that happens

Lights look awesome. How much light does it throw off? I like the idea of a light bar behind the lower grill

 

Rev matching is good for the trans, unless not executed properly

 

Rev matching is fine unless you over rev and let it out. I don't know if my rev matching is the normal way. It's more of a double clutch rev match down shift. So I clutch go into neutral rev, clutch the select gear

 

Should be fine as long as you don't over-rev like you said, or lug it which also puts a bunch of stress on the trans. The way you rev-match is how my dad taught me to start rev-matching when I started auto-crossing as a kid. Took a few years for me to be able to nail it all in one fluid step in all gears/speeds/ braking conditions.

 

I can't rev match second ever lol. It's a matter of switching my feet getting close to a car or where I have to stop. There are many ways to drive stick but rev matching is one the tacoma can handle. I tried flat footing and heal toeing but that's not too fun in a truck.
