Im actually deciding between the evo x or the newer sti hatchbacks. Always love the evos but im thinking the hatch is going to be more useful as a primary car. Fun and practical lol. The only thing i hate about the evo is the rear seats dont fold down. Which means I have to do a full time roof rack in order to be practical.

I had a stage 2 2010 STI hatch and it was as practical as can be. Bought a 50inch TV, went to Publix for groceries and did some clothes shopping with the GF. Kept up with a C6 Vette (auto) off the line with all that stuff in it lol. It's faster, more practical, gets better mpg, and cheaper to insure than the Z loved it. Although the Z is way more fun to drive

VISPRE...

I haven't had two full grown adults in the beack seat yet. But I have had one. I still have some room though, and I rolled my fenders so I shouldn't have too many issues. I'm actually wanting to go down another 1/2-1" on the front but my coils are maxed. might have to remove some perches or get a lower spring..

niiice, i'll have to take a closer look at the hatch. i think the allure for me aside from the practicality is it just seems so much like a sleeper.

I'm into the hellaflush but I had to test it for myself first with a not so crazy offset. Ended up with 10mm spacers in the rear. I'm sitting pretty much flush on the front and out on the rear. Just need to go a little lower but may need airbags as the next option... Or sacrifice a shi*tier ride but getting creative! Next time I'm doing a wider wheel too...

Are you guys meeting beforehand and rolling in together for the 30th? If so, where are you meeting? I'll be going, and will probably have a couple more cars with me.

Everyone will probably be meeting there. I'll try and be there as early a I can.
If you don't mind going to the FB link bro and RSVP. Have your friends that are going do it too if you can. We are trying to get a good idea of the number so that we can have it all squared away.

Yep, already did the rsvp on FB. I'll try to get the others to do that as well. Also, we're going to meet beforehand at 2pm at Bay Wash 436/University if anyone would like to meet us there. Have a little bikini car wash action.

Does anybody in Orlando know about some State-wide Z meet that's supposed to happen in that area soon?

Somebody here said they thought a big event was coming up, but nobody else has been able to confirm ...
