What day is the car show and what time is the meet in pearl city? I just looked on the site. Is it the meet tomorrow?

[Shayne70]

Yeah we do the windward mall meet every 3rd saturday of the month. We are meeting at Pearl city Walmart at 3:30 April 21st and we have to leave by 4 to head down to windward.

Anyone know a good traffic lawyer in Kaneohe, got busted racing this morning. On the bright side, I won.

[Haole]

Can't help you out on a lawyer. Were you by chance on the H3?

[partymn]

Yep, damn empty, straight roads are my weakness. Lucky that they didnt take me to jail, I guess that will be later on after court.

[Shayne70]

What time in the morning were u racing?

[Haole]

I drive H3 everyday I work. I can tell you there are about 5-6 place on that highway they sit waiting to nail people speeding. This is going either direction. Good luck in court.

[partymn]

Around 7ish. Dude pretty much stopped after I took off. Found out later on that he works at the same place I do, small world. Maybe I should pay more attention to the cars in the parking lot, and cops too I guess.

LOL, the wife has grounded me from doing my Turbo install untill after I go to court.

What did the officer clock you at if you don't mind me asking?

Any recommendations on a power/speed mechanic on Maui? I want to do a blower cam upgrade.

Yeah...if you were going over 80mph (who doesn't) it is my understanding they (DMV) can confiscate your car.
Supposedly any time you're going 20mph over the speed limit you can get your car confiscated...since 60mph is the highest we have, 80 mph would be the point of confiscation.

However, I assume this didn't happen...got to watch out for the coppers, cuz they are watching out for you.

Has anyone changed out their rear end gears and if so, what size gears did you install? If I remember correctly, someone did change out thier gears and were running a manual tranny. Was wondering how much different the ride was with the gear change. I've also noticed smaller oem gears for the auto tranny. Thinking probably that was done due to the auto tranny having weaker gearing, but could be wrong.

Thanks,
Taz

Dave(turboV6) did Richmond 3.73. Modern autos typically use taller rear end gear for mileage and rely on shorter trans 1st gear and torque converter to it make up.

Hell, if you do you a FI 427/440 or whatever, you'll never launch with shorter gears unless you use slicks. Go centri and get a high power band... With my 315s, I can light it up so easily, it's a joke.

We're around the same HP/tor, but your 2.3 Maggie power band should be much lower than my 2.8 KB and just kick a$$ above idle. Especially with your stall.

So anything new? Still planning?

Hey everyone. I just moved to oahu in late January. I'm currently out on deployment. But will be back soon. Didn't have time before I left to check out what we have going on in the area. So can someone fill me in on any local gatherings, shows, hang outs that go on. I need my camaro fix lol. Wasn't able to bring mine with me. Thanks
