I would say just come over for friday night beer pong but I am awkwardly young for some.

I don't know where else to meet, what does everyone like to eat?

why dont you guys come out to the Houlihans meet we've been having in addison on wed nights? It's a good time, and not all G owner's are douche bags hahaha

seriously, i post it in the events section every week, no one comes, cept 1 Z and 2 370z's.

I know it's not close to ALL of you but there is a significant amount of people around the addison area.

How old are you? I joined this forum when I was 18 and things were infinitely worse for us younger members back then. If I lived through all that and even became an admin, you can set up a meet.

My first thread ever on here, I believe, was to start a meet for the locals and it had a great turn out, even making friends.

Beebans cool (TheCanuck)..Ive worked on his car. He is a youngin but certainly eager to learn more. If he goes to AUTO-X or a drift event..I think he will be quite hooked like us..

There's a lot of us that are pretty young. I'm only 22 and just barely. Chris (350), stu, Owen, Jake and even Adam are all fairly young. Some younger than me.

+1 Age shouldn't really deter you from meeting up with locals, hanging out, and just having fun. That's what forums are about.


BTW, I bought myself an early birthday present about a week ago and it came in today! Should be lighter, fit better, and look better than my current set. Now I'm no baller like some of you guys, but I'm pretty excited to put these on... in like 2 months.

Ya man I started meeting up with folks right after I bought the car when I was 20. Canuck you should definately come out for autox. Even if you don't want to drive, it's fun just to come hangout and watch and you are always welcome to ride with one of us when your out there. We are having our next autocross this month on Sunday the 27th. Just check the meet up/event threads and see when they are. We'd love to have another person out there with us.

Chris, nice lol. I got one of my late birthday presents in the mail today (spacers and studs) and I'll be ordering the other part of my late present to myself hopefully tomorrow or Monday at the latest (MB battles). I'll post pics when I get the wheels.... and when I figure out how to post them on here lol. I've never tried to post pics

To post pics, click "Go Advanced" under the Quick Reply section at the bottom of each thread where you type in your post. It should take you to a different page for posting, where you can scroll down to click "Manage Attachments." Congrats, you learned how to attach pictures to your post!


BTW, happy belated birthday! When was it? Sounds like you got yourself some new toys and we were thinking the same things (although the execution was different). Which spacers did you get? I've been eying the Project Kics and some new lugs myself but haven't pulled the trigger yet.


As a side note, my nitrous has been fixed since last week.... Spring can't come soon enough!


Another pic..

Thanks it was January 30th. I got the ichiba spacers. I think (but could be mistaken) that with the project kics you have to buy the hubcentiuc rings seperately and I wanna say they are like $40 a pair. All ichiba's, minus their 5mm spacers, come with the hubcentric rings.

Nice, mine's coming up in 2 days but I've gotten to a point where I don't care. It's just another day, same old bullsh1t.

I didn't think about built-in hub centric rings; thanks, I guess I'll take a look at the 15mm Ichiba v2's. Which version and what size spacers did you get? What size wheels did you get, btw?

I always enjoyed the meets I've gone to and I'm both young and kinda shy. Met more people each time and it was great.

Mine are 10mm just the regular non version 2. $95 for two spacers and 10 new bolts. I got 17X9.5 battles +15 offset all around in matte bronze on a Daytona blue z
