Sir Waxer is in the same building as my buddy Mikes shop! He's co-onwer of Two Guys Auto. They do real good work on Scoobys and are cool guys that know cars.

Oddly enough, we actually had to leave my girlfriend's BMW with Two Guys because the electrical system acted up on the way to pick up my LGT. She's pissed because it's a cool $800 to get the alternator and ignition systems back up to par. 70k on that car and she's put probably $5k into it in the last couple years. Reminds me why I'll never own one.

 

We spoke with Nate, he was very nice. Maybe I'll have them do some maintenance stuff on my LGT soon.

Yeah, Nate is good stuff they both worked over at Wilde Toyota for YEARS and decided to start their own digs. Everything from LOFR's to tinting to full rebuilds there. And they're right on HWY 100, so we usually fire up the grill in the summer and watch all the little kids get speeding tickets in their parents cars on Thursday and Friday nights.

You should shoot me a PM or something if you'll be up there one of these nights, I'll come join. I usually hit up Hwy 100 at some point on the weekend to goof off with some friends and watch the kids act a fool.

Hmm I don't feel like wrestling with the remaining new ball joint I need to put in. Might have to pay Two Guys Auto a visit

anyone selling a catback

I have a set of Magnaflow mufflers sitting around doing nothing. Could have a muffler shop create a cat back using those. lol

I have two blitz nur spec if your interested. Sound amazing

anyone know a place to get fenders rolled in Milwaukee/Waukesha i haven't called any places yet just looking for recommendations. my front fenders dont like 245's on coilovers, and i dont want to eat my tires with two much camber.

Franz, did you end up going to madison for that dyno day?

Yep, I did. I ran 8 cars including my own. My exhaust leak cost me 15 HP though compared with last fall.

Hey guys along with being new to LGT.com I'm also new to the Milwaukee area. I've herd a few things about HWY 100 cruises, sounds worth checking out sometime. Has anyone been there before or know anything about it?

I'm up there fairly regularly. It's just a popular road where a lot of car people hang out and drive up and down. Mainly younger kids with ricey cars but there's some Subarus and other nicer ones, too. Friday and Saturday nights are when it's busy.

I might be putting up a bunch of parts for sale. I'll let you guys know if I do.

Oh dang. Going all Hicksta on us, Franz?

Any recommendations on local small businesses (anti-dealership) to contact regarding the massive wagon sunroof? Mine seems to have died & I’m aware of the PITA & $ involved with repair/replacement. Want to weigh the do-it-yourself options vs. just getting it over with.

I will be relocating to the window between Madison and Milwaukee this summer sometime. I will attach a pic of my 05 to make it easy to say "hi"

Welcome SGT Daddy. Sweet lookin wagon!

 

I went to Synergy Tuning in Port Washington last night. Seems like these guys really know thier stuff, do good work and are open at good hours. They are having a grand opening soon. I'll be posting that info in "Post #1" soon. If there are any meets/events coming up that you want posted in the first post, shoot me a PM.

My friend tried installing a 6-spd into his WRX a few weeks back and over-tightened some things and ended up making the car un-driveable. He took it to Synergy tuning and everything has been fine since. That, and he knows one of the guys from his Ford Probe days, and recommends his work.

 

I'm from Port (currently live in Cedarburg), so I'll probably take my car there at some point for tuning work

Yep, I just showed up unannounced and they dropped everything to help me out. Good people, and they have a ASE master mechanic on staff.

 

I used to be in the Wiscinsin Probe Owners Club too. Small World for sure.

Oh yeah, duh, you're the guy they used to be in WISPOC with. It was Tom-- V3rtigo. He's got a red WRX (STi wannabe with a wing and the 6-speed)

anyone have a Torx plus 50 to get the flywheel bolts out that I could borrow? and a 22mm impact socket around milwaukee? trying to tear down my motor...

Synergy Tuning will be having a grand opening party next month. More info to come on post #1.

 

WISLOC logo contest. Ok so who has any kind of skills designing logos? I want to get some stickers made for us. If you have any ideas post em up and/or email em to me. Afrer we get a few, we can vote and get that shit printed. So take a couple minutes away from the porn and good luck. (Also considering t-shirts, maybe).

 

Looks like the Madison meet came and went. Blew right by me which sucks. Next year we're gonna put together a meet/cruise from Milwaukee to Madison, maybe linking up with the WRX crowd along the way.

 

What else?

Any interest in planning a day around an AutoX event?
