Update on VP aka VP_96COBRA

[beejay31000]

it will either be the weekend of the 7th or the 14th. most likely the 14th st we can have more people attend. we are gonna do a mini car show too. it will be fun. just waiting on eric wife. she jsut got a job there and might be able to get us a better deal on the spot.

 

[beejay31000]

oh, and that sucks that you ahve duty the day you return. who screwed you there??

 

[VP_07SRT8]

well hopefully its the 14th because i have duty the 7th. i should have almost all the parts on the car by then too. all the suspension is being put on right now and the rear end being rebuilt as we speak. i just worked out that way. just like last dpeloyment i had it the day we pulled in. at elast we pull in early afternoon so it isnt going to be a full duty day plus! 96 hours of special lib from the CO since we got extended gave it to everyone. plus i reenlisted so i have 120 special hour lib from that, 96 hours for getting sailor of the week, and 96 for getting oustanding medium on the prt if i wanted to route a chit i could take off like a month lol. im excited with my new list of mods.

[beejay31000]

wow, they give you all a lot of time off for doing good. wish we could do that. i am hearing the 14th would work better for everyone, so i'll see if i can make it happen

 

[VP_07SRT8]

well the CO is like 51 so he doesnt have to do much to get a good high. and he put out if you beat him you get 96 hr special lib. the CO gave us another 96 for gettin extended and not hitting many ports. plusi got sailor of the week which gets its own stuff and i re upped. im taking extra PMO days because my home is Germany and when i take leave i go OCONUS because thats where parents are stationed. when and where are the plans for this get together?

 

[beejay31000]

im gonna post it in the thread, but it will be at admiral bakers park off the friars/15 and i will set it up on the 14th. that will work best for everyone sounds like

 

[VP_07SRT8]

thats where we had our pre deployment picnic i know the place. i whipped my friends 350z's ass there lol just ordered Gen 2 Smoked tail lights.

 

[VP_07SRT8]

update!!!! just ordered:
- CANTON Expansion Tank
- MM K-member 4 pt brace
- Gen 2 Smoked tail lights
this is whats going on with the rear end and suspension at CPR in Santee:

Yeah, we're going to rebuild traction lock. And when the new set of gears goes in with the install kit, the center of the rear end will be completely rebuilt. New clutches, gears(3.27's), bearing, shims on the carrier, and pinion seal. It's not going too bad. Had to send out the shocks. The coil over kit requires grooves cut into the shock to hold a ring for the coil over. So she has the lowers in right now and we're waiting for the grooves to be cut. We were told coil overs, but didn't realize they were this type. No biggie, just puts us behind waiting for machine work. Everything is going good so far though.

 

[beejay31000]

man, thats gonna be nice

 

[VP_07SRT8]

Just ordered a escort passport 9500i bout to get a cobra r 3.5 inch rise hood

 

[wickedstangs]

when buying the hood remember WSPS...

 

[VP_07SRT8]

getting tint today as well!

 

[Gibs]

what percent?

15% at least I hope

Gib

 

[beejay31000]

5 on the back 12 on the front. thats what i did on my pontiac. you can also tint the windshield just barely and it will make your car even darker.

 

[VP_07SRT8]

well i told chris (the guy who is taking care of my baby and driving her everyonce and a while) to get it not as dark as his evo but enough to tell its there because even though i have 20/15 vision i cant see worth shit at night lol ill keep yall posted on what he gets. car is still at CPR they just replaced my LSD with a bullet proof one and put on my steeda strut tower brace(welded), front and rear MM coil over w/ hyperspring, adjustable MM lower controll arms, steeds bumpsteer kit, steeda x2 ball joints, longer caster camber bolt kit and calibrated all of it.

 

[beejay31000]

the thing with new tint is it wont affect your night vision. i can see out fine at night in both my cars. my mustang is only 25%, but the pontiac is as dark as it gets.

 

[VP_07SRT8]

ill keep you posted on what they offer and what chris lets me know

 

[VP_07SRT8]
