rob and jim...i think i told you about this.

I'll be there as a Sponsor. I'll also be caravaning with the SD peeps. Looks like we're gonna meet around 8:30 am at the edwards theater in Mira Mesa and depart no later than 9am.

Looks like I missed out on a lot of action since I last checked in. Damn Rob, so sorry to hear about the mishap. I was going to miss my softball night to check out the turbo monster once you got it back. I haven't driven my Z since it rained and after hearing of the other mishaps, I'm glad I didn't. I cracked my front nismo lip and thought that sucked but not compared to the call you received from Turbonetics. Hang in there Rob. Hope to see you all soon.

yeah I know...Greg found out his Brembo idea aint going to work so I'm just doing my own version of the Stoptech stage 2 upgrade. A BBK is a little pricey for me right now. I can get the setup I listed on brakes and clutch line for about $750

The next cheapest is the Willwood front for $1750
Considering I just orderd my Cusco arms and still have to pay for my diff install $400, Alignment $200, and Chad to help me for all the work I need to save where I can. But hey at least when I'm done my mod list will be absurd.

The thing about coilovers is you can adjust the height of your ride. For example back when I had my riced out integra, I had springs installed that pretty much slammed my car. But I had to install a body kit so I knew that I had to raise it up somehow without looking too much like a 4x4. So, I bought coilovers, adjusted the height just right and got it aligned, all was good.

well i bent my front rim. ran over a 4x4 on the 91 fwy (because sometimes you just feel like doing a little shop in the middle of the fwy). its not really noticable, but i know its there. any suggestions for a new set? looking at the iforged emotion and daytona now...

Charles,

did you at least get to find the 4x4 that did it ?? maybe you could burn it and feel better or soemthing.

anyhow ... good to be back on vacation in CA and it seems the weather is getting better

on a side note to go along with all the rain damage. My house sufered a pretty bad landslide (just the backyard w/all the gardens. The house and ht tub are just fine ... but it wont be the same backyard. Insurance isnt covering it ... so my roomate is pretty much SOL here ... so we are working n getting it fixed .. **** rain

hey charles,
did you ever consider fixing the rim, or is this a good excuse to get some 20s? i think you swerved to hit it.


i never went to the meet. i was feeling lazy, and i had to watch norm. it gave me an opportunity to put in all my new spherical busing suspension parts, and new front springs. it kicks *** now.
