I can't remember the name of the company..

Also, what are you thoughts :)?

Checked the fluid, doesn't smell burnt, but hard to tell condition based on looks/smell alone.

Anyone else get this problem before? The only other reference I can find is someone sending it into the dealer for a whine that ended up resulting in replacing the entire steering rack. ]]> General Solstice Discussion Carbon Sky http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f11/power-steering-whine-65446/ http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f11/laugh-rear-floor-mats-65445/ Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:22:57 GMT i,
I saw in the Solstice book that Pontiac made rubber floor mats for the solstice. I thought I'd check ebay to see if any were listed....

here's a good deal:

The dealer had my car listed as a 2008 Pontiac Solstice SCCA SSB Champion Edition. At the time this did not mean a lot to me. Now, I have run my vin through decodethis.com and it shows as a 2008 Pontiac Solstice SCCA SSB Champion Edition. However, when I google that the pictures do not match my car. I have all options listed but my car does not have the stickers on the side and the seats do not have the logo on them as the picts do. The carfax also lists this as a 2008 Pontiac Solstice SCCA SSB Champion Edition. What gives? It's not like it matters alot in the grand scheme of things, I'd just like to know. Any suggestions? My vin is 1G2MC35B68Y122397. Any other info on the vin would be appreciated.

Great Scott!! I was wondering if anyone here was aware of and/or is planning to attend the 25th Anniversary Celebration of Back To The Future event which will take place from Nov 5th-Nov12 in areas all over Los Angeles and Surrounding Counties Including Actual BTTF landmarks/filming locations?

http://www.weregoingback.com

I plan on going to a couple of these events myself, but not too sure which ones yet.. However, the one I know I definitely want to attend that is just a couple miles away is the Friday November 5th opening night screening of the Back To The Future movie at Puente Hills Mall, which is the original filming location where Doc Brown was shot and Marty chased by Libyan terrorist, The DeLorean accelerated to the necessary 88 miles an hour, with time circuits activated and the plutonium chamber full, the flux capacitor activated and the DeLorean experienced temporal displacement. :lol:
This filming location is pretty much exactly next to a location at the mall which I see many Solstice on a regular basis (there have been small local meets here before...none I've attended :() but the precise location is the driveway/entrance east of and parking lot north of TGI Fridays :)!

I know our Kappas may not come standard with a Flux Capacitor, nuclear reactor, a Mr. Fusion, Any Time Circuits, or even have a Hover Conversion available... But regardless, I think it could be a nice opportunity for a couple of us meet up and have a Mini Solstice/Sky show of our own among all the Deloreans and whatnot.

So yeah, If you are a BTTF fan, want to meet some creators & actors.. Join in some of the festivities, etc... Go the website and check out the upcoming events before your...

OUTATIME


With that said, if any of you want to meet up for the Free Screening of BTTF at Puente Hills Mall, maybe we could reserve a table or two at TGI Fridays for some food and drinks for before or after the opening event..I am pretty sure Fridays will be reserved as time gets closer to the actual event... so we better make the reservations early!

So yes, please reply :P!

Where we're going, we don't need roads... ]]> General Solstice Discussion sorrowdemonica http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f11/back-future-reunion-65416/ http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f11/got-my-solstice-greeting-business-cards-today-65403/ Sun, 05 Sep 2010 02:53:42 GMT A while ago on a post I can't think of at the moment somewhere on this forum, there was a discussion about the Solstice greeting papers which have used in the past where one could slip it under the windshield wiper of a solstice/sky you spotted parked somewhere, etc.

In this post I had mentioned that there was a site named Moo.com where you could order a set of 10 free sample business cards and it would be a good idea to get some of those rather than printing out those cheap paper cards.

Well today in the mail I received two sets of cards I had ordered:


This above set of cards were printed with the "Moo Classic" Matte Laminate Card option and in my opinion are the best looking, they have deep rich colors, and feel great thanks to the laminated outer layers which also improves the look! These are the best business cards I have ever see and felt in my life.

...even Patrick Bateman would take murderous delight in obsessively detailing virtually every single feature of this card! :lol:

and


This one set above were printed with the "MOO Green" 100% recycled Unlaminated 'papery' textured card option and in my opinion they do not feel as nice, and as you can tell from the photo, the print color isn't as deep and reflects light in an unappealing way, and .

Please note that in person the print on the cards are sharp and legible, I just quickly took photos to post on here so it appears slightly blurry...
But Trust Me! These cards look great (especially the "classic" cards)!


So those of you out there who would like to get a set of these greeting cards to give to Solstices and/or Skys you spot, I highly recommend that you go to MOO | Custom Business Cards, MiniCards, Postcards and more... | moo.com USA then click on business cards and select free sample and design away :P! Also these cards include free shipping!

Just note that each free business card set includes a moo.com bar at the bottom as you can see, but if you design the back of your card just right, you can just simply cut it off as I did as you can see in the first photo above (or you can just go over it with a black marker).

This is the original reverse design I made and used on my cards and a standard looking one both with my name removed:



and the redline one:



Feel free to modify and/or add your name and use either design for your own set of cards :) ]]> General Solstice Discussion sorrowdemonica http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f11/got-my-solstice-greeting-business-cards-today-65403/ http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f11/2009-pontiac-solstice-street-edition-list-65400/ Sat, 04 Sep 2010 21:31:07 GMT I just wanted to post a list I have decided to start compiling of the 2009 Pontiac Solstice Street Editions.

I just wanted to post a list I have decided to start compiling of the 2009 Pontiac Solstice Street Editions.

To give you some background on this post: Pontiac had decided that for the model year 2009, Brazen would get a special model known as the 2MK67 Street Edition, which would only have a production run of 500.
The special features included:
-Brazen Color with Darkside Top
-Black Heritage Stripe (Exclusive)
-Black Bezel Top Headlamps (Exclusive)
-Black Grilles
-18" Polished Aluminum Split Spoke Wheels (Exclusive)
-Performance Z0K Inspired Suspension (Exclusive)
-Ebony Leather Trim with Orange Accent Stiching on Seats, Steering Wheel and Shifter Boot (Exclusive)
-Unique Vin Number
I think I may be missing a detail or two.


I had started this list back in July 2010 when I became curious what number my Street Edition was of the 500 made, during my search I had learned that in fact Pontiac had possibly only produced about 138 in reality of the planned 500 and so since there was no known production number list, I had decided to compile a list of Vin Numbers I have gathered from various online car listings, owners, etc to determine a rough estimate of what number my car may be, and as you can imagine this is a very slow process as not many SEs are listed (typically 1-2 new listings per month) as compared to the other editions (NA/GXP/Coupe) which anywhere from 25-100+ new listings go up per month.

I had originally started my list in a word document sometime in early July, and after a few weeks and many long restless hours I had compiled a list of about 50 or so vin numbers by August which included build dates ranging from July 2008 to July 2009. However, Tragedy soon fell upon my efforts when one day I was horrified to discover/realize I had accidentally deleted my list!:brentil:

:cryin:


After this incident, I had gave up completely in total frustration... that was until yesterday when I decided to give it another shot.

However, this time I will keep a backup list posted here for just in case I repeat the same tragedy.

If you know of any Street Edition Owners I could contact and/or would like to help, please feel free to contact me and provide any Vin Numbers that you find. Thanks!

Howdy All!

Individuals and Clubs from the SouthWest Region (CA,NV,AZ,UT,NM,TX) & NorthWest Region (WA,OR,ID,MT,WY) of the United States, Western Canada, and Alaska who are planing to attend the 6th Annual North American Solstice & Sky Meet in Austin, TX from June 20-24, 2011, we are organizing a run from California to NASSM and would love for you to join in!

The drive will start from from California (Los Angeles is most likely) and make it's way through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas (Austin).

At this present early developmental stage, the current plan is: depart California on Saturday (June 18th), spend the night in New Mexico, and make the final stretch through West Texas.

However, once ideas and plans are developed, this trip could easily turn into a complete 2-3 day event including participation in sightseeing trips, extended stops, photo opportunities, meet up with other groups and individuals, and so much more!

So, if you were planning to attend NASSM and would love to participate on our run and activities along the way, Please Let Us Know!
OR if you are a club or group that is organizing your very own run to NASSM; if your path crosses ours and would be interested in combining our groups along our journeys. Please Let Us Know!

We know this post may be a bit premature As NASSM is over 9 months away, However at this point in time, it may be good to just gather all ideas, determine places to stop (and meet up), places to see, and get a rough estimate of how many will join (including their locations) so we can schedule and route accordingly including account for possible traffic and road delays.

We can also take this time to get prepared; Schedules, details ironed out, route(s) finalized, and make all the necessary reservations (if needed).

Then once the days and weeks draw closer to NASSM '11, We can follow up this post with the finalized details, schedule of activities, planned stops, and create the Sign Up List.


[b][i]We Are Open To All Ideas! Feel free to reply here with any suggestions, by PM, or by email.

Even if you are cannot attend NASSM 2011 and would still like to join us at one of the many destinations or detours on this run, You Are More Than Welcome To Join In!


If you (or your club) think you may be interested in participating on this run (or any part of it), please take this time to provide:

Your Name (or Club)
Your Location (City&State)
Email Address
Forum(s) You Use (&User Name)

So we can keep you updated on any news and events of this run!
