Sonics in minnesota!

Just wondering who has sweet Sonics in Minnesota that might possibly want to meet up? I'm new to the site and want to see who else is in MN!

Yes, I will have my car in the show on May 2nd. Looking forward to it! I was in one show last year and loved it. Although last year I was put with the GM cars, I'm gonna get placed with the tuners this year, time to represent the USA.

Just realized, I never mentioned that I'm in the Buffalo area. My girl and I thought a fun run that ended with a beer/drink at Treasure Island sounded like a sweet drive.

yeah, it's a little rough getting to cnc at 5:30am, but it's worth it to get a good spot. I can imagine the looks I'll get from those in WRX's and Skyline's when I pull in!!

And anybody else that has Sonics and run a sonic train on cnc...

yes, I'll be at the next CNC on 5/2. The DDM CAI was my first purchase as well, then down the rabbit hole I fell!!

Right well the first thing I got was my sparco wheels after I curbed this winter and cracked it in half but now that I can hear my car breath and the turbo spool and the bypass valve go off I NEED MORE! just sent in my order for liman x tint with a custom order for colors I can't wait to get it in and how did you take your front and rear chrome rings off of your sonic if I can ask?

The rears come off simply by removing the housing like you were changing a bulb. The front, well, the front is a 12 pack of beer. You have to take off the entire front fascia/bumper off to get them off. That's why I didn't paint mine until I installed my fogs, and also the reason I'm contemplating installing clips on my front fascia so I can just "unbuckle" the front to remove it.

Good to know I see some people that just "pop" the fronts off but ending up braking the screw or whatever is in there but they can clip back on I want to paint mine but I think I might just wait for now same as you and I'm going to get OEM fog lights but the backs should be to hard I might do them today with some spray primer and paint I have just been waiting for this cold toend in Minnesota so I can start doing some little things to my car outside ya know and btw did you install your exhaust by yourself?

 

[612roots]

I have also been thinking about halos in my headlights as well as possibly an upgraded intercooler i was looking at clips or a quick release for the bumper to get to the front end and headlights more efficiently

Yes, I've done all but tint, speakers, and wheels myself. yeah, don't "pop" off the front rings, you'll regret it later.

 

[Hulty]

if you ever need help on an install, just let me know, Buffalo isn't too far away or I can walk you through it on the phone.

And when you install your Lamin-X, have LOTS of patience, wear rubber gloves, and plenty of water.
