I will probably be at Warminster but without the Evo. I wanted to check out blown euros but i heard it was $5 to attend plus i expect a smaller turnout then in years past cause of ShowNgo at etown. I rather watch some racing and cars that are actually driven.

I like your attitude. I'd rather watch cars that race then look at show cars that don't any day of the week. If you stop by find me and I'll give you a ride. I'll be in the WW VIII w/IX front end, #26 BSP.

I take it you got/will be getting your suspension on? If so good for you.

Thanks for the offer, I'd love to get a ride. If i end up making my way over during the day i will definitely look for you. Do you have an idea what time your group will be running?

Thats the plan Pete, can't wait to see the difference. Next up 'might' be some 18x9.5 wheels w/285/30 rubber

Its a 7, its pretty much gonna be a free for all the whole day. we'll be getting a couple hours of seat time at least so anytime you want to come by is fine.

In back of my mind that's what i figured since it cost $100 but i wasn't sure. I'm going to have to work out my schedule and see whats happening but I'd like to get there early, but not planning on staying the whole day as of now. Like i said i'm def going to look out for you.
Thanks again for the offer.

I'll be there as well given how much seat time we're going to get plus I want to try a few new things as well as help Marc out getting his suspension sorted. Anyone that wants a ride along just ask (I'm the one with evo8dad as a license plate). I won't have any numbers/class on the car given its just a TnT.

I agree, I never understood the whole car show scene. If it doesn't make it faster or isn't lighter whats the point?? Plus just walking around a parking lot looking at cars that aren't moving isn't much fun. Too each his own I guess.

No need for 18s unless ur into the bling factor (which I know ur not). 17x9.5s or x10s wld be perfect. The 18s are heavier and screw with gearing. RPF1s in a 17x9.5 or x10 is the ticket.

Oh and I have a fender roller when ur ready for the 285s

I was debating between the two sizes and thought 18's would be better cause I can get the scrubs from the vette guys pretty cheap. I'll talk to you more about it tonight when you're aligning my car, I've got lots of questions for ya

I would pay the first time for the new sensors to be programmed, but maybe I can get reprogramming done cheap (like $10 from here on out). I would probably only do it when it's time for an oil change anyway, so my car would already be there.

It's worth a shot. I've been going there for 7 years. Let's see how much customer loyalty gets me...
Yea I try to do the same thing with my dealer, they did it for free one time, but that was when i was puttin in the new clutch so I was like cut me some effin slack guy lol

im prolly getting a new set of tires to put back on the volks for the new season, thinkin of dunlop direzzas. I think my S drives got KOd so quickly from too much camber. Should i go back to no or very minimal camber. I go to events but not enough to warrant me running my tires every few thousand miles for a few days of better cornering. What you guys think?

I would try to run an as close to stock alignment possible. Also, if you go to the Star Specs just remember thats a softer compound and will wear even faster. Try to rotate them a little more ofter this time too as your rears looked fine. GL Nick
