Thanks Chu, I think I've met her before... Hopefully I'll have somewhat of an idea what the hell I'm doing at the novice tent.
It's not hard, Rich will walk you through the process if you've never done it. You just sign your name and member # on all the weekend passes for novices. You sit there most of the time!

yeah, I just now saw that thread, but all the pics don't work.

Chu, you should run those if you can fit them w/o rubbing. just make sure you get the right tires and that the overall diameter isn't too much larger then stock.

Marc, I'm working on it. I will check out Mike and Rolandas setup this weekend to get an idea of what I can do.

Dan, why dont you bring the dog down and chill with us for bit on Saturday. Good way to socialize it. There are a few people that brign their dogs with them. Would be nice to see a few ppl this weekend since the winter is here and ppl will start staying in more!

i'll consider it, chu. i just don't know how the dog will behave being only 8 weeks old and in a new home for one night. i will just play it by ear and show up avec au sans il chien.

i agree that we need another get together before we all part ways for the winter....er until the next CBP event. i haven't seen anyone in a while.

Mike is on 18x9.5 RPF1's w/285/30 A6's. Roland is on 17x? with I think V710;s. I was looking at both there setups earlier this year when I was deciding between 17's & 18's. Rolands setup is cheaper but Mike's setup is better because the rolling diameter is smaller, so there is more 'thrust' at the wheel. Not to mention the A6's are THE tire for us to run if we want to be competative in anything other then ST class... and we ain't got nothing for the STU guys.

Dan you should bring the ***** with you if you aren't doing anything. Atleast hang for a minute. You ever watched the dog whisperer? As long as you're in a calm, confident state of mind the dog will fall in line. its really amazing how they can sense our feelings and react off them.

Do you know what kind of offset and camber settings Mike has? I know his fenders are rolled, but his clearance is unbelievable. I wodner if those tires are rubbing the liners at full lock. If the alignment goes well, I should be able to keep my RPF1s on for this weekend. Swapped them to cause a friend wanted to see the BBS on his 08 Lancer...and it looks damn good, hint Robert! I know we (more like me) have no chance on the STU guys.

i am guessing the ***** was "b!tch." i'll have you know that my dog is no b!tch. he's a male and will be treated and trained appropriately.

maybe i should train him to attack drivers of white evos.

wait that isn't a good idea.

It actually seems to be running alright Ryan thanks for asking. Like some of these guys mentioned maybe the ECU just had to re-learn the idle. I drove it about 20miles last night and it seems be be better. *crosses fingers and prays*

Thanks for the fix. No R-compounds, well maybe. I have an opportunity to get a set of wider wheels (wider than the rpf1 I have now). I passed it to Marc, but he's getting some baller wheels. I think we're keeping it a secret until he shows up with them next season!

I don't know either offsets chu, just ask Mike, he'll tell you. too bad you can't fit an A6 in 315/17 on that rim, I know a guy selling them on the CHEAP!

Dan I didn't know she was a he. I still think we need to setup a evo/dog owner GTG. Avery loves other dogs and especially car rides.

marc, i never like female dogs. i think they behave strangly. hmmm not too different from women i guess. plus i wanted a dog i could body slam out in the yard. my wife grew up with bichon frise, so she's in for a rude awakening. those are such ***** dogs... when i try to play with them like dogs they bury their heads in seat cushons...****.

ryan, i work right on broad street in south philly so i know how the post world series stuff goes. i was able to watch the parade from the roof of the hospital. and i was forced to walk to friggin vine street to meet my wife because there was no getting out of south philly on train or car.

not to hate on our team but i will surprised if they pull it off again. the yanks are giving them a good run. i am not a baseball fan but i don't think i could stomach cocky new yorkers tooting for a year or more about their win. so i pray the phillies win.
