/hou/ - Inspirations & Aspirations

Previous Thread: Bring us your humble, your meek, your huddled masses of shitboxes, yearning to be free. Whether ye be poor, or an aristocrat on high, welcome here ye be.

Other than the mini meet coming up tomorrow we have a lot of things going around. Ideas for /hou/ for expansion, project builds, merchandise, custom wear and maybe even a flag.

THE NEWS:

- Starting with, Friday, July 8th is the Mini meet held at Starbucks at Westheimer and Postoak at 8P.M

- Dracula, Dagumi and GS head out for some project cars, the SC seller never replies back however they find something better than the galaxie, a 1948 Studebaker . Looks in pretty good condition but with everyone's help it will turn out into something amazing.

- Two T-Shirt designs are out, if bought in bulk will cost $15 a piece, see post → → →

- Instagram is up to 20 followers now, usually growth in these things is logarithmic.

- Turbo Snail mentioned a large a Galveston Cruise happening, perhaps by then we will get everything we need to represent ourselves. Details in post - Spoderstang is the devil Links:

First

Howany threads have we had so far?

probably about 20 if you count the initial scotty kilmer thread

Ayyyy
And of course. We gotta count that thread.

Not enough.

It's official mates, the way we have grown so fast and number of threads we keep making in such a short amount of time confirms..that WE are the top meetup in Veeky Forums, not sure if we are the top meetup in all of Veeky Forums but definitely Veeky Forums. Congratulations everyone. Proud of y'all.

TAKEOVER SOON

I plan on doing an official count and archive, but going off of feel, it seems like 20-30.

>that quote

I was actually thinking of that, too. We're like a blend of Mid Night Club, Initial D, and Fast and Furious memes, except real, and in babby form.

P hype for the next stages of evolution.

Also, phase one, Veeky Forums domination, secured.

I don't quite think we've surpassed /k/'s Nuggetfest, but we're close. You also have to think Nuggetfest is a culmination of multiple midwestern states as well, and some people drive all the way from Florida or California to go there.

We're just one small albeit populated region. It's not like we have guys from Florida driving to meet us, we're all within a 50-100 mile radius.

So should I request off of work for the 15th? Is that meet still happening?

We're deciding the main meet up details on the 8th at the mini meet.

I might have another guy tag along someday to a meet. He doesn't really use Veeky Forums but he's super nice and has a sonic so I won't be lonely.

NORMIE ALERT

>having friends

Normans get out! ROOOOO

>2010+6
>having friends
>not having family
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO YOURSELF

Tfw I lost my friend last night and gained a couple tiny acquaintances who still run away from me when I bring them their catfood.

I Just want buddies.

I just hope he doesn't take his pedobear stickers off his sonic soon. His RU18YET liscense plate out the icing on that cake.

Can't wait till we all have a interstate meet. We should start out by the neighboring states, Louisiana, Florida, Oklahoma.

>His RU18YET liscense plate

Sounds pretty cringe.

Have you forgotten that this is a Chinese cartoon imageboard full of cringey turbo virgins and storm front rejects?

Tacoma actually suggested a Louisiana meet during the Fast and Furious afterparty. Like a mini road trip to Lake Charles and chilling at the casinos.

The idea of gulf coast influence was interesting.

Arkansas* Florida isn't exactly neighboring.

A real pedo wouldn't mess with disgusting 18 year olds.

Driving for a long road trip together would definitely be something badass, the only issue is time, not everyone or even a few might have time to spare. It will be preferred on a holiday.

I guess so, what I meant was the South in General. I know there are a lot of Florida br/o/s so maybe they might be willing to do a long drive together.

Depends on how you interpret the phrase. Could be a preventative question to make sure they're not over 17. Regardless it's a Houston takeover right? Normies and weirdos are gonna join regardless. Unless /hou/ is exclusive now like wizchan is or something.

Oh yeah! That makes more sense. I would love to have a southern meet. We could shoot guns and barbecue while driving.

I don't care about weirdos, it just seems like unfunny tryhard le 4chins edgy humor. It's whatever, though.

Post pics of the little buddies.

They're sometimes hard to track down in the yard but I'll get some pics tonight. The mother and father also stay in our backyard too. Its like a legit cat family.

To each their own. I Don't mind the things people do with their time or life as long as it doesn't directly affect me. Just like me driving an automatic is cringey to auto enthusiasts but it really has no bearing on their day to day. If someone dislikes that and voices That concern, it's their opinion and should be held as such.

Veeky Forums is an interesting place, you get both sides of the spectrum here, usually it's distributed equally. You get the weirdos and you get the normies.

>18
Absolutely disgusting.

Saw a burning Jeep at HEB last night

...

Third coast meet when?

so did i

Kek

Also who r u

I probably call more into the normal people category honestly. Stable yet shit job, 5 year relationship, can only fap to 2D waifus being used like rags by big orcs and tentacle monsters, have an unhealthy videogame habit... Etc etc

Fall*

Probably that jackass in the green shirt filming the incident with his phone.

>chinese
Get out

/hou/ accidentally ends up in the same place at the same time without knowing it, and even captures one another.

Ultra kek.

The framing even perfectly cuts out their faces/heads. It's like art.

+1, ST.

(its lit)

Don't get triggered.

We are definitely going to assemble but we just dont know the driving activity yet. We are gonna eff around dnb because thats our meet up spot

Laser tag + paintball when?

Isn't there a sweet laser tag place on west little York? Next to a pizza place and a cajun food/bar? Yeah battlefield Houston laser tag.

I enjoy the thought of paintball, being thats theres a good incentive to playing intelligently. Im still for the idea that we should put together a paintball crew. Not even i want to do car shit 24/7

battlefieldhouston.com

>Not even i want to do car shit 24/7

There's a go-kart place in Dickinson that has laser tag.

>$21.50/hr
>$17/hr specials

Hey guys, i'm leaving on a trip to the west coast in the E30 in the morning. I need to figure out how to rep /hou/, so should I put muh crest here or... (2nd pic incoming)

Or here?

Shiiit... I'll be out of town if the meet happens on the weekend of the 15th

Why not there?

Updated the spreadsheet.

I thought about it, but I didn't like the idea of obstructing a mirror, if even a little. I did mock it up though, and I like the way it looks.

Arigato Mr.Roboto

good thing its on friday and not the weekend

>Mfw my wife made me install Pokémon go
>Mfw my phone makes it say Pokémon

I vote for this. Personally I think stickers on mirror ends looks strange, but that's just me.

...

Kek. I know it's fucking hot out there.

Also anybody want this piece of shit. Came off a 2003 350z I had.

ayyy sugar land bro

What's with everyone and pokemon go?

Idk man, my wife said I need to play it and be on her team or something. I haven't opened it up yet. She said it was buggy though.

How I'm gonna play it.

seriously, everyone needs to calm down a bit.

I can't even get the shit to load anyways. Shit tier servers can't connect.

I'm too busy Frankensteining together an '80s Coke machine into a corner cutter tp bother with pokemon.

>DeLorean
>corner carver

>tfw that pic from /k/ is already making it's rounds on facebook

Went to the doctors to yell at them to hurry up my referral... ended up coming home with a new rifle and a temp disabled parking permit.

Still can't drive tho, but I see my surgeon next week.

You'd be surprised; the frame, suspension, steering, and underpinning are essentially Lotus Esprit components. A few modifications to counteract the rear bias and the car becomes a competent machine.

Tfw Doctor never gives me gun

>Lotus Esprit

What, really?

Here's the frame of a Lotus Esprit S4S

Get a prescription :^)

I'm getting a prescription for my new truck (soon) as well because I'm a special fucking snowflake.

Here's a DeLorean frame.

Here's more than you could ever want to read about how similar the two are from a Lotus website:

lotusespritworld.com/EHistory/DeLorean.html

Forgot image...

I think we can safely classify pokemon as facebook tier normie shit my wall today was like full of pokemon shit just like my wall is full of texans shit when its football season

you should give him props thats a delorean that actually get hooned in instead of being taken straight from the garage to the detailer and to a car show and back home

and to conclude my three part shitshow

when you buy auto parts online... Stay farrr away from Rev's auto parts. especially those of you who are into classics

looks more like an elan

is this >british engineering

Or is this a good frame design? Looks flextastic to me

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRV_engine#PRV_Varieties
why not use one of the more developed versions of the same engine ?
just a cost and ease thing igr

its mostly to save weight
the general idea is that you only put flex resistance where it is needed
hence the centre of the chassis is a twig

Very similar; though it was based off of the S1 and is most similar to an S2 in terms of sheer geometry.

It's a good frame design for cars with a low center of gravity as the frame is, essentially, an armrest. It's great for keeping the center of gravity low and uses the body to prevent twisting. It's a good design, but it does have its limits, and it's mostly just a Lotus thing; like Porsche and their rear engines because Porsche.

Note where the frame tunnel is on this car:

I've known about Dracula's DeLorean for a while, dude.

or worse yet to a scrappy for all dat stainless steel
>some people I swear

Because it's nearly impossible to find one in the US. I have the carb intake from a Peugeot 504 as well as the distributor, a proper set of headers with free-flow cats, and a few more minor tweaks. I'm going to install cams at some point, but this engine has a little over 8k miles on it and now uses ZERO electronic components. I'm not going to try to use a 125k mile Eagle 3.0 with a dodgy EFI instead.

There's really not enough stainless on the car to make it worthwhile to scrap.

The vast majority of the car is a fiberglass underbody and, aside from the doors, all of the panels are purely cosmetic; think along the lines of the Pontiac Fiero.

What do the panels weigh?

Dalaranananbanananon reporting.

The ball has entered the cup.

The doors weigh 90lbs apiece; empty; the front fenders are roughly 15 lbs apiece, the roof panel is about 9, the hood is about 45, and the rear quarter panels are about 35, including the glass.
