to where?

busterbs3 · 07-29-2010, 06:54 PM

i will be there. im just curious to see who will show up in holly springs. should be a good crowd

Pheonix · 08-01-2010, 06:51 PM

370ZProject and I finally met up, and while we didn't do anything other than have lunch and talk trash for a few hours; it was still cool to hang out with another member. Only 2 pics from my camera...I had another, but I don't have photo-shop and I don't feel like broadcasting my license info for everyone to see

Anyway, hopefully we can get the rest of the people in the area together for a larger meet.

good times

busterbs3 · 08-03-2010, 02:16 PM

the autocross event was a good time. i was hoping to see some of you guys our there.

busterbs3 · 08-03-2010, 05:41 PM

have any of you guys put on an underdrive pulley? I tried calling that kenny guy at wolfchase nissan to see what they would charge to install it but he had already gone home.

Big J · 08-03-2010, 08:01 PM

A pulley should be really easy to install. Call Kenny tomorrow if you want them to do it but you should def try it yourself. I have swapped plenty of pulleys on other cars so if you wanna do it yourself let me know and I can possibly help.

Also, I saw a silver 370 on tchleuhoma(sp?) this evening. Was that you by chance?

Big J · 08-03-2010, 08:03 PM

I heard the showing at holly springs went really well. My car should be fixed next week so I'll definitely be going to the next one.

Pheonix · 08-08-2010, 08:34 PM

Has anyone here used Word of Mouth Detailing, across from Extreme Auto a little west of Germantown Parkway and Stage? I went by there the other day, just on a whim and after reading a positive review on another auto forum a while back. They quoted me $325 for a complete exterior clean. Talking clay bar, wash, wax, polish, buff, shine, etc; the whole deal. Landon, you've seen my car so you know that even freshly cleaned it needs some work. A year outside with no cover is starting to take it's toll...and to be honest...it seems like a good deal to me. Quoted me an additional $170 for a full-window re-tinting, but I'm still debating on that one. Seems a bit cheap, when people at Tennessee Tint get charged twice that, but then...I've heard they are way overpriced anyway. $325 or $350, one of the two prices (I forget which) and 10 hours.

Thoughts?

hmm let me know how it turns out

Big J · 08-08-2010, 11:03 PM

Joe at Word of mouth is the best around for car detailing by far, you will not be disappointed. 170 is a normal price, Tennessee tint is a great place but is extremely high. I paid 175 for mine with a lifetime warranty. I had mine done at snappy windshield repair in Southaven, the owners son has been tinting windows there for years. Call snappy and ask for Doug jr. He'll take 1-3 hours depending on his schedule.

Pheonix · 08-09-2010, 02:04 PM

Yeah, I was thinking I'd go somewhere else for the re-tinting. WoM wanted to just put another layer over the existing 35% the car came with, but I was thinking that would make it way, way too dark. I don't mind if they have to have my car for a few hours; I've got another I can drive. I don't mind if they charge a bit for it, if the work is quality. If you can come up with that number, I don't mind driving to Southaven for a good price and quality work.

Thanks!

And Landon, go by there yourself and check it out. I've heard great things about them, and from what I could see in their shop they work on all makes and models. If the work he does lives up to the reputation I've heard, I'll probably make it an annual or bi-annual trip, for that price. I'm sure he can do wonders with your car as well.

Big J · 08-09-2010, 03:00 PM

662-393-0906, Ask for doug jr. If you needing tint replaced make sure you tell him you need the old tint taken off or just take it off yourself. Ammonia and a razor blade will do the trick. He put 5% all around on my car and a strip across the front.....

Pheonix · 08-10-2010, 12:29 AM

Damn that looks beautiful, mate. As much as I've love to go that dark (and on my black I'm sure it would look downright wicked) I'd be paranoid to go anywhere in Memphis, much less out of state. I can talk my way out of a lot of stuff by virtue of where I work, and I'd even consider going as low as 20%, but limo tint is pushing my luck, I think. Do you get stopped often?
