Yeah for sure.... but the last meet i set up it was only me and Johan....soooo I'll leave the planning up to someone else haha

ben14142001 · 03-08-2010, 03:57 PM

My car is wicked dirty, haha, needs a cleaning. Anyone around chicago have a Dinan exhaust? I'm still wanting to see/hear one in person, hate the look of my performance with the stock diffusor.
I'll definitely try to stop by at the next meet if I'm around~

ruffstik · 03-09-2010, 10:51 AM

I'd be down for a meet at wsto...kinda wanna check out the place...nice little drive down from Brewtown.

Johan@WSTO · 03-09-2010, 12:15 PM

April is good for me! When do you think its safe to swap and order the wheels Johan?

TPLSM3 · 03-09-2010, 09:17 PM

I'm down for a meet! Can't wait for a good rain to wash away the salty roads, then my baby is coming out of hibernation!

hm..... you know it's Chicago... I can't guarantee it until July

jk jk
if you want to put them on before a meet, the first week of April would be good. Then you would get them in a week or so, so you should be ready for the meet

fshlee · 03-10-2010, 08:10 PM

Count me in if there's a meet! And I just put my summers back on today!

ben14142001 · 03-10-2010, 11:20 PM

Ballsy, haha. I'm not slapping them on for another month or so, it usually randomly snows around here sometime when you least expect it.

I can't make the 20th, but anytime after 3/29 would be great with me - as long as the roads are clean.

SpacE82 · 03-11-2010, 08:38 AM

Any weekend in April is good for me, Saturdays are best.

ruffstik · 03-11-2010, 09:33 AM

Im in...as long as it doesn't interfere with my autoX!

Yes! I figured any snow will not stay and the temperature is going to remain high, thanks to global warming.

ben14142001 · 03-12-2010, 05:29 PM

^ Hahaha, I like the optimism!

Feyd · 03-15-2010, 10:36 AM

The weekly forecast is calling for warm temps again and I am so ready for my summer tires.

Even though the days aren't consistently warm, sooner or later there has got to be a safety trade off with my winter tires. With temps getting to 55+ they are going to start to get REALLY squirly on the roads.

I've noticed that too recently. I still have my snow tires on, and I'm amazed that i get such shitty traction when its damp or even dry?? I cant get on the throttle without the traction control light flashing. Its crazy because they are so good in the winter.

I'm probably going to swap them out in the next couple weeks. Cant wait to order the new rims

Feyd · 03-30-2010, 02:15 PM

Okay, I'm officially out of winter-mode.

Thanks to my local friendly Car-Ex I now have my summer tires/wheels back on.

And ZOMG the run-flats suck. A lot harsher than I remember... but beyond that the thing steers like a f'ing pig now with all that extra weight in the front. I smell Star-Specs in my very near future.

SpacE82 · 03-30-2010, 03:25 PM

I want to get my summer tires back on, but I'm getting rims first

You will get them soon

SpacE82 · 03-31-2010, 07:58 PM

I've heard that Forgestar isn't shipping anything until the end of May???? Is there anyway to get them shipped out sooner??

Let me talk to them if they can do

I hope you to get the wheels before the meet

SpacE82 · 04-01-2010, 12:39 PM

I hope so too. Make it happen!! Tell them we need them for a meet! haha. I would be willing to pay a little extra, depending on how much...
