Size? offsets? They look good, time consuming to clean between all those spokes.

i'd say the highest you should go is a +15 but you would need a pull n roll if the Z's are like the G's.

If you really want a aggressive do +0 (http://www.stanceworks.com/2009/11/f...rks-feature-4/)

I really don't know what size/offset you should get. Depends on your style. I thought the wheels were used (judging from the pic).. so didn't know you were ordering. You may just want to check to see what is available.

Then, go to the wheels/tires subforum and look around. The wheel snobs there have probably discussed this topic a billion times.

hrm... So tempted to buy your Playseat. I think I may be about done with racing games though. I suck so much at them... No butt to tell my hands what to do.

Is that folded pic as small as it gets?

Hey everyone I hope you are all doing good!

I know its been a while since I have last posted, but I check in as often as I can to see how things are going. Sucks I havent been able to make it to any of the meets or anyting I have just been working a ton over the past 6 months.

Also, wanted to let eveyone know that I am going to be ordering some GoPro HDs, the motorsports version that comes with all the attachment pieces and everything. I am getting them for around 235.00 shipped so if anyone is interested let me know...they are usually 300.00.

Hey Jon, I might be interested. Will it be shipped to my place or do I have to come get it from you? And does it come with all the stuff that's listed in the Forged ad:

Rob - Yes it is the same kit as forged is advertizing. Its kind of an inside price, so they are coming to me. No worries though, I am sure I will meet up with you guys and be able to get it to you before you need to use it. I am limited to the number I can get and I have to order them by tonight, and they should be to me by the end of the week.

In speaking to the 3 ***** guys, it is a lot more work than you might think. You should speak to Kenny, he can give you some insight. Although it was a lot of work, I think they had an awesome time.

Oh I expect it to be a lot of work... seems like getting a $500 car running and safe might take many hours on its own. Probably a heck of a lot more than $500 when you figure in the cage too.

Yeah a lemon's car would be TONS of work and $$. Plus I don't know if any one of us has enough fabrication skills needed for something like this. But we could always learn!

Btw, I have a friend coming into town tonight and we're going to the autoshow tomorrow. He's a really good driver and I'm sure he'll want to go karting.

So would anybody be up for kart2kart tmrw night?

Absolutely. Give me a ring if you guys head up there! I'm thinking about trying to get some guys together to go up there Tuesday night too.

If you guys can't tell I'm getting some serious cabin fever and some car withdrawals.

Taking the daughter to the shooting range this afternoon. We might go to kart2kart if you guys will be there at 3pm.

EDIT: It's 2:30pm and we're still at the house. Looks like we won't be able to get up there by 3pm. Have a good time and take pics!

Default Video @ Kart2Kart

Following is a video of my session at Kart2Kart.

Brian you guys should have showed up. I started late and made it just in time for the session. I think I reached there at 3:40 or so
