Eastern NE area
 

Hey i'm going to be in NE for about 4 days in October 11-14 i'll be in fremont and omaha area. Anyone in the forum from around there? let me know if you are. Wouldn't mind meeting some of you.

I'm from Fremont. What are you coming to Nebraska for?

my gf is in college and they have a long weekend and she knows someone there and I have that weekend off and we decided to go over there. We went once last year also it was pretty fun.

So, does she go to UNO then?

what is UNO?

University of Omaha

No she attends ONU a private college in IL the drive is like a 9 hour drive from her school to fremont.

Who does she know from here. Fremont is only around 30,000 people.

the person out there is sort of her unofficially adopted dad. she's realy close to him, he used to live over in OH but moved to NE a few years back. So she goes out to see him when she can, i've gone before with her and she asked me to go again so we could have a few days together since i am working like 5 hours from where she is going to school.

Well that's good that she keeps in touch with him. I'll be up at the Nebraska Motorplex the night of the 11th. It's a dragstrip and I'm the computer operator up there. Are you into dragracing? If you are you should come up to watch or race. The gates open at 6:30pm. If your interested in coming up, it's near scribner, about 20 mins from fremont. If you need me to show you the way up there you can follow me. I leave about 6:00pm.

Nebraska Motorplex website

PM me if you want more info.

depends on what time we arrive friday, might not get in until late, if i can't make it let me know if you want to get together sometime and hang out a little that weekend. I love meeting other pro owners. The drag thing sounds cool, wouldn't mind going to watch if i can.

It will be open until 10:30 to midnight. It depends on how many cars we have up there. Spectating is $6 per adult and racing is $25 plus I think about 3 passengers as well. Your welcome to come up and sit on the 2nd floor of the tower with me. Good view from up there. Here's a map if you do decide to come up.

i'll see what i can do, sounds pretty cool.
so what pro do you have and what have you done with it? do you have any pics posted?

I have a 02 P5 red, with moonroof, abs, side airbags, polished wheels, 6 disk indash changer, 5spd, red seat covers, full front bra, window vents, red painted calipers, 2-12" rockford punch xlc's, 225.2 rockford punch amp, 2 red neon tubes in the interior. That's about it.

wow that looks nice, where did you get the seat covers and shifter nob? i like them. I still have a lot to do to mine. two things i'm really waiting on are turbo and a set of thin bass speakers (a friend is working for a company on the prototype they are sweet).

I got the seat covers from kuztom lookz on ebay.

The shift knob is factory for the 02 P5's

cool, i am probably going to by a voodoo nob for mine soon and a short shifter to go with it. i'll check out those seat covers, i like them

Here is another of the interior

how are those lights at night? what do you power them with?
I like the photoshopped pic. I want to paint mine sometime but haven't decided color or anything yet. I might get my tint done in your area it is cheaper, cost 170 to 220 around me.

There is a place in fremont that will do my p5 for $165. About 9 windows all together. It's the cheapest I've found around here.

Glass House
1023 E. 23rd st.

Give them a call and find out what they will charge.

The neons are wired up to my side marker lights. They come on when the lights come on. The reason I did that was I had already spliced some windshield sprayers up to them (blue). The sprayers aren't wired up anymore because a cop gave me a fixed it ticket.

I'll check that place out i'm only doing 5 windows, might do 3 first and other two later. doing 9 here would cost a ton more than that.

Sorry about the ticket thing that bites, i haven't had any problem with mine, what color were yours? mine are white to match my head lights and parking lights.

I should change them to white, but I had blue on there. I had them for about 2 or 3 weeks until state trooper pulled me over.

geez i've had mine for months, i did get pulled over once, deffinantly was not for the lights though.

i went with white cause if figured cops would give me less greif for them, as far as i know the only laws here are that you can only have amber and white lights on the front of the car they don't say no lights at all on the hood.

I also have a battery operated shift knob that lights up red, but I need to replace the battery in it.

What's your girlfriend drive?

some kind of toyata that was given to her, its a piece but it gets her where she needs, she isn't much into cars but will go to meets with me and stuff.

here is a link to my car: http://www.geocities.com/pipeline/9892/mycar.html
old pics but its generaly how it looks, finally got rid of the rims that were on it, there were terrible.

That's a nice car you got there! I was thinking eventually of putting on some underbody lights on. There's a place in Fremont that has streetglow gold series for $230 installed. There seems to be more and more cars with them lately.

sounds like a good price, not sure if i will ever get underbody lights, maybe. The only 3 appearance mods i really want is a new paintjob, body kit, and window tint. Most everythign else i want is performance related, though some of those will make the car look nicer also. The window tint and paint job i really want to do soon.
What color underbody kit will you do?

More than likely I'll do red. I found a place online that has black underbody for about $170 though. I thought would be different.

I just realized you will be driving here on your birthday. Happy early birthday!

:D yeah thanks man. hey what does the black lights look like? i can't picture that. would it simply make anything that is blacklight responsive glow, is it that kind of light?

The kit is here. The website is salesco.com listed in the underbody neon.

i would like to see how they look at night.
I just called that window tint place, the guy said he would charge 150 for just the rear window and the windows in the two rear passenger doors, how are you getting all of yoursdone for only 15 more? he quoted me for 3 and you are doing 9

I talked to a lady there. I don't know why my is only 15 more. I'll give them a call myself a little later and see what they tell me. It's a 95 DX isn't it? The rear and back doors. Does the rear doors have a split in the window like mine?

The 95 Dx sedan has 1 window in each door, no split windows, i really want to do 35% on all 5 windows (4 side windows and 1 back window) which i can get done in omaha for 140 i didn't understand how the guy i called would charge 10 more for less windows. I might do just the back three for now.

I ask them what the difference is between 3 and 5 windows for your car. I'll tell them I'm checking around on prices and see what they say. Where in Omaha were you quoted 140? I'll use that against them.

unfortunately i pcaked up the info already, i think the place is auto glass tint or tint shop or window tinting co, i can't remember for sure which but i'll know tomorrow

There's an autoglass tint in Omaha. I'll bet it was them you called.

The lady there said $165 for all 5 doors or $110 plus tax for the 3.
