Help from a Denver VXer?

[VxSport]

I we see eveyone at Starbucks @ 10:30am today.

Mile High, I will see you at the church parking lot in Castle at 9:45am

Great to see everyone this morning...sorry I had to cut out early.

Special thanks to bartmanS4 for allowing me the great joy of driving his VX with his 5 speed swap...can you say burnout....

Simply awesome!

Now I have a whole new project to consider and my beautiful bride will not be happy...

Yes thanks all who showed up! Great to meet everyone, and see Mile High again! I think we got my noise figured out (sticky/worn front sway bar mount). So I have a project for next weekend. Colorado folks need to figure out the Moab convoy details at some pooint, and if you're camping I will post the RV/Campsite I will be at shortly (with the luxo-5th wheel including garage o' toys).



I was behind BartmanS4 for a few miles. Got a few double takes as the two silver VXs went by. His 5-speed conversion blew me out of the water on the on ramp! Not that we were going fast or anything illegal...

[bartmanS4]

Ha Ha, sweet! I went over to Saudi Aurora afterwards and got it stuck in the mud, I was able to get backed out but man that was some sticky clay. Good meeting you guys and looking forward to the Moab convoy!

It was great to see/meet our little coffee crew yesterday. Great weather for a drive, today is a little different. Yesterday it was 58 & sunny, today is 35 with snow storm.

Twalker keep us informed on tracking down your front end clucks, I guess. Energy Suspension products is the front sway bar kit.

And Bartman we do need to go for a test drive in ur 5spd. We can do coffee again anytime. sorry I was running out of time.

Mile High..... my wife loves your Dragon so much, Great to see you and convoy to Littleton, I did see a few people pointing at the vx's.

I'm glad you guys had good weather after the last 20 degree meet. I'll be there for the next one...

[VxSport]

Sorry you missed such a nice day.... Hope you had fun in the mountains. See ya next time.

Dangit all. I ordered Energy Suspension bushings per Chris' advice, and I got them today (oddly enough Amazon was the cheapest)...but...



That hole looks awfully small. Checking the p/n I appear to have ordered (or at least received) the ones for the rear (9.5156), not the front (9.5163). And I wanted to get this done this weekend. Bah!

I guess I may as well do the rears as well now, since I am sure they are in no better shape than the front.

Ordering the front ones now, except that if I want them in 2 days they only have black left...I was looking forward to the red, but I guess it really doesn't matter.

..I was looking forward to the red, but I guess it really doesn't matter.

The red quickly turn to black...I bought the red, but after a few weeks you really wouldn't have known it...

[VxSport]

They only turn black if you don't go out and scrub them with a tooth brush. lol

Sorry I missed out on this one! I knew I was forgetting /something/...

Not that I could have gotten the VX out anyway... it was trapped behind a decontamination shower. (It's been a great month... )

Sorry Michael. Is the house finished with the fix up?

Sorry Michael. Is the house finished with the fix up?

Well, the cancerous ceiling is gone, and I've got a new water heater, but the new ceiling is poly tarp. The doors are still taped shut, so although I can get to my fridge, I have to go out the front door and walk around the house and walk in the side door to get to it. It makes running to the fridge for a beer much less appealing.

I have no idea when they're going to get around to doing the rebuild... It is SO frustrating. I'm itching to have everyone over, but it is going to have to wait a bit longer...
