At Memorial City Mall. They don't hold C&C at Vintage Park anymore.

Ugh, our threads need to have more breathing room, give us 500 replies, at least. Every fucking time, I swear to god.

And why did you delete the Galaxie and S12? Dracula and I still want to buy the former.

I didn't even know they exported these to the US. Why the fuck would they export these to the US.

Well I finally got the remote start installed in the hoe (after much procrastination). Now I have keyless entry as well. Bought some shocks today. Will install those along with the abs sensor sometime this weekend. Gonna get a new windshield next week. Mustang is still running great but I haven't done anything to it.

When I eventually do get the Canyon should I go with the 3.6L V6, or 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel engine? I'm thinking the V6 because the Duramax would make more sense if I were using it as a work truck. But damn, hearing the Duramax start up was pretty nice.

In other news, doctor said I can't drive so if we do a mini-meet I'd have to get picked-up (or god forbid, dropped off by my dad).

Something tells me you have a Honda fetish.

>>15361501
I would go with either the white Prelude or the last Civic personally.

If the dude isn't lying about the Civic, there's probably a bit less work that needs to be done. The body work on both looks pretty decent.

>>15361501

the civics look cool, or make your jetta fasterer

I'm not too far from league city but my car isn't the most comfy.

>>15361412
youre about 15 minutes from my house

>>15361939

the design has implemented features you wont find in Chinese intercoolers like vanes to direct air in the case of taller intercoolers, and higher quality looking welds, a branded name plate attached. if I was shooting for pioneer levels of suercharged 1uzfe horsepower, then I would definitely go with a brand name intercooler. but treadstone sells an intercooler similar to mine for 250. is the extra 190 worth it? I don't think so because it's not 190 more worth of intercooler, but with the larger ones the value and engineering you pay for is definitely there. its not just a big version of their small model.

>>15362054
Meh, comfy or not it's fine with me. I can't complain about a free ride and the chance to meet you guys.

45 has always been the congested asshole of houston

>>15362716
Oh fuck me that's going to make the I-10 entrance ramp even fucking worse. It's probably going to regularly back up to Studemont now.

That said, that part of I-45 is a massive clusterfuck. I've seen how bad Houston Avenue is backed up during rush hour from people trying to get on 45.

>>15362720
You mean taking a four lane highway and splitting off half the lanes when most of the traffic is continuing through isn't a good idea?

They're going to check out that SC400, bro.

>>15364593
oh alright
well im about to leave my house and im on the other side of town so it will take me like an hour to get there

and im zello so ill chirp yall when i get close

also why are there only like 5 people on there?

So the track works, but its very very very bumpy, like more bumpy than it should be. Anyways, its gonna be a long project, so well cross all these bridges as they comes. There seems to be some inaccuracies in the topology data, or maybe its because I didnt camber the track, but it doesnt seem correct yet.

It is driveable and working though.

Look at it, just sitting there waiting for you guys. So majestic.

Dracula, you still down for the Galaxie? He's gotten a lot of offers, I'm checking it out now. Main things seem to be rust and the rear passenger tire needs replacing.

>>15365362
Yeah; post pics.

>>15365441
Forgot to take pics, my bad. But he got it running and drove it a bit. Documents are clear, plates/tags until 2018. Battery seems low on a charge so it may need to be replaced, but everything looks workable. He said he could have the tire replaced for $30. I told him I'd give him an answer within a week.

I'm down if anyone else wants to pitch in, so long as I can drive it back without it dying.

Anyone planning on doing anything tonight?

eh, I don't think we should do that. /hou/ is /hou/, we don't need to wear a memberlist on our back.

Especially since members can drop off the face of the Earth without a word and new people are joining every practically every thread.

>>15366607
Not to mention the fact that nobody here actually goes by their name.

Everyone is referred to by their car aside from Dracula and the anon formerly known as Ded-Civic Anon.

>>15366607

i was going to put the names under "crazy cunts" Probably best if I don't.

3 people if Dagumi and Dracula drive their own cars to see the Galaxie. If they end up deciding against it, they can drive back to their places in their own cars. If they do decide to get it and drove in their own cars, they would need a third person to drive the Galaxie.

>>15367674
>>15367729
ITT we become Fight Club.

>>15367764
The first rule of Hou Club is:

1. You do not agree about Hou Club.

2. Second rule, you DO NOT AGREE ABOUT HOU CLUB.

3. It will rain during the meet.

4. Meets will go on as long as they have to.

5. If someone crashes, gets pulled over, or is being a bitch, the meet is over.

6. No man left behind.

7. You must join the Zello group if you intend to participate.

8. Eighth and final rule of Hou Club: if this is your first night at Hou Club ... you HAVE to race.

>>15367780
I didn't agree to these rules.

I'll kick your ass!

>>15366017
They seem to be pretty adamant about preventing any spot-saving on the event page, so do you (and anyone else that shows) want to meet outside the event and roll in together to guarantee spots together?

Well if that's the case we can roll in together, I guess by saving spots I meant find a place that is not filled up. Usually people start parking next to other cars instead of starting a new row of cars.So if we start a new row, that should give us enough time for others to come and find a empty space. I think the count will be low anyways, maybe 3 or 4 cars including us so spots shouldn't be a problem.

I was hunting on eBay for a while, with doing a lot of research I figured there are ways to get it really cheap. Of course there is some risk involved in buying used but I guess I got lucky. The seller said it was used quite a lot, who knows eventually something might happen to it, but so far it's been great, even in the rain. Also, if you buy the lower end ones as in not falling for the megapixel meme, you should be good.

Not gonna lie bro a 1 uzfe swap woukd turn you to a monster.. A 300 hp vvti can be found for like 1500 and a non vvti 250-60 hp is less than a grand. The engine and transmission is completely isolated in a 1uzfe car, so hook up fuel and the battery and itll run.

You fools should have said something, because we were all like "Isn't it weird these two just came to the rooftop for no reason as if they were expecting cars." Should have mentioned yourselves in the thread before you came so we would expect you to come and it wouldn't be awkward or anything, at least not after the first 3 minutes. Oh well, now you know.

I think we actually said something and noticed you guys. Something to the effect of, well they "came up here and left fast" or something. Don't be shy next time, were not exactly intimidating dudes. Well SC400 looks like he could get scrappy if he had to. . .

Is GTA V worth the buy? I'm more of an FPS fan, but it's on sale so I'm thinking about it. Same with Project Cars.

>>15373675

Would anyone be interested in a Hou Kik or Telegram? All the meets that spawned off of us seem to have adopted something similar.

>>15373693
the single player story is pretty fun, especially the voice acting, really gets you hooked up. The single player is great but the multiplayer is slowly losing it's playerbase but more importantly getting frustrated. Rockstar isn't do much about the hackers and the servers load pretty slow. I bought it when it came for like $60, I still regret it after a year because that's quite expensive for a game. If you're into adventure, shooting, open world type games then you'll enjoy GTA V, otherwise I don't recommend it.

As for project cars, great game, especially graphics wise, the driving is slightly more arcade-ish compared to rFactor, Dirt Rally or Assetto Corsa but visually it's great. Now since all of us have bought Assetto Corsa and are working on the mod for the Waseinburgring track, you might as well buy Asetto Corsa instead of Project Cars. Assetto Corsa has the best gameplay/physics on average, other games like rFactor 2 are so much better at physics but aren't visually appealing as much. So far we got four people on Assetto Corsa, Me (SC400), Kartfag, Spoderstang and GS400. I think kartfag has just made a /hou/ server but I still have to see if it works.

You have to peel the wax paper off, place it on perfectly level, you only get one chance, press out every single bubble, then peel off the clear overlay at an acute angle slowly and make sure youre not taking any white element of the sticker off

shiiieeettt

can i paint it black before i apply it? i really want it to pop

>>15375450
Also id be down for a sunday cruise but i dont get off til 6pm

I want to get more fireworks, i popped some and now i have to get more lol we can cruise to a firecracker stand

No the top of the sticker is the last thing to come off, but nothing stopping you from coloring it after you apply it

>>15375711
cant do that
>about to cruise now
>work tomorrow

>>15375733
damn
i really want to paint it black

seems like it would be too easy to fuck up if i tried to paint it on the car

I might go out eat at like 8pm or something, but afterwards I'll probably be free. You down for a late night cruise?

>>15375572
Now that's sexy.

>>15375902
no sir sorry
i gotta get back on daytime schedule
so im gonna try and be in bed by 8

when is the next meet?
im pretty stoked and hope the work schedule will allow it

>>15375959
bed by 8? damn that is early. Next meet hasn't been decided yet, but it will probably be after 2 weeks or so. A mini meet might take place soon tho.

>>15375741
Youre going to cruise by yourself?

Was gonna see if i could pick up this dfgt wheel and then blast off some fireworks, drive a few miles, pop off some more, repeat

Use sharpie or paint pen to make it black, and use a q tip with alcohol to take the excess off pf your glass

The one to get is the G27 instead of the DFGT. The G27 is the entry level wheel that's the best for the budget when it comes to sims, it has a clutch, a better shifter and a superior wheel with better Force Feedback compared to the DFGT. Heck the G25 would still be better choice than the DFGT.

G27 owner here, can confirm

I might be doing fucking nothing tonight except heading to fireworks stand out in copperfield area. Hit me up on zello if you need company.

Can someone make a new thread and link? Id get a g27but since im getting a car tomorrow spending 250 on a used wheel isnt really in my wheel house, plus if i had 250 spare dollars its probably going to go straight to a new door for my gs

>>15376173
Ya that's the wheel I have. Works pretty good
