Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southwest From the DEAD CO UT meet Kingpin is leaving soon

Well glad you got it up and running. GTP's are sweet, but auto supercharged cars are not as fun as manul. cars. my .02, I do like the 2 door ones though. Galants are not as reliable as you would think. I drove one for a bank that I worked for and the axles failed, and the transmission. It might have been a lemon, but that was my experience with the Galant. I hope you can make the run. -B.

Got the Konis put on today. My buddy and I did them in about 8 hours (with breaks, and having to uninstall the just installed rear struts when you forget the anti-squeak things on the springs) , and with experience I could probably do the whole car in about 4 or less hours now.

Let me say, the full Koni set-up is nice! With the shocks set on soft they are the perfect for around town. Hard, but compliant enough to soak up bumps nicely. Not overkill at all. You definitely dont feel like you are riding on big drop springs. Highway cruising is nice too. The drop looks good so far, and I took before measurements to compare with later once the springs have a chance to settle. I think the mirko may become a "showoff" only piece, I dont know if Ill be able to leave it on from day to day on COs crappy roads.

After I get an alignment Ill crank 'em up a bit to see how they really perform in the canyon!

Kingpin, I have the next 3 days off, lets run them man ! A little pre run for fun. Its snowing like mad in the mountains though, we will have to stay low so we dont see snow. Let me know. -B.

Konis are fun to play with. Have fun with 'em!

Derk you going to come ? Will you be done in CA by then ? Do hope you can make it. -B.

I finished up in CA a few weeks back. I'm currently back in SLC doing my OB/GYN rotation, surgery to follow.

We'll see if I can make it. I'm doing my ER rotation in Denver. I'll be there from the last week of April through mid May. When is this shindig goin' down again???

Should happen right smack dab in the middle of your ER rotation. Give us a holler when your around here, if nothing else I bet me and Randy could meet you for dinner sometime

Well, I wont know my ER schedule until I get there - they should have the entire month planned out when I get there. If I can't make the run, dinner sounds good.

Randy, keep me up to date. I'd like to make it.

Oh yeah man, I will keep everyone informed. I will get a hotel setup in April. It will be awesome to see everyone there. Its going to be a great run and weekend. -B.

I will need comformation from everyone that wants to attend by April.
