I didn't see anyone at Hawthorn Furniture. Except a VW for a little while and some 60's wagon for a bit. I took the daughter with me so it was a father - daughter event. LOL. I stayed pretty tame.

I saw Kyle go by while we were eating ice cream. Talked to Deepu but never hooked up. Oh well, it was my first evening cruise of Woodward. Not quite worth the long drive.

It was my first time going to Woodward and didn't know where to look. Took Woodward from 695 and drove all the way to Birmigham downtown saw a few cars here and there. I was driving with my wife, so went and dined in Birmigham downtown. All in all not a bad evening.

Holy WW batman....

Back in town today so game for meeting up whenever.

World-Woodward is always a good spot to go and hangout and see cars. Most will be domestic muscle cars but there is tons of other stuff too... the Z guys try to meet up up there.

so..... what is the average gas mileage driving city streets? i hardly ever get on the freeway, and my mileage averages at ~17 mpg. sucky. and i don't *always* stomp on it, lol.

i'm thinking of taking the test pipes off, and the cc's back on. i keep throwing a SES light about once every 2-3 months... i think it might be possible my car is in constant limp mode.

My car is pretty much stock and I get around 18.8 mpg -90% city driving.



Brian or anyone--I'm thinking about getting the SPC rear camber arms and toe bolt kit from Performance Nissan.... Is there anything else I would need for a basic set-up for my Pro-Kit? Thanks.

I think that's all you would need. But shop around cuz tons of vendors sell them so try to get the lowest price.

You'll need the #115 Dremel high speed bit. Depot carries them. I think it's around $10. I have the Dremel if you don't already. Otherwise, the SPC arms and bolts will do just fine. I wouldn't worry about the fronts unless the alignment guys says you're way out. If so, then get the camber arms for front and realign.

Okay, the arms and bolts are around $200ish plus shipping.

Alright Brian, I will buy the #115 bit.
