Do you guys here in KC ever get together for drives or other activities?

Sometimes we get together in random parking lots and stare at our own cars...

So I did not know this but apparently there is a DIY auto repair shop in Olathe... Would have been nice to know about when I got my exhaust. Oh well, I guess that's where I'll be going for my coilovers (probably this weekend) and at the same time help my friend/roommate put on his Tomei exhaust on his Evo 10!

Edit: How do you guys feel about spacers? And do you think they are a good idea? Still saving up for the wheels I want so in the mean time I want my car to not look like a sunken ship.

I am running 15 mil spacers in the rear of mine. never had an issue with em.

side note, who wants to get together for a drive soon? what weekend would work for everyone?

I used to run 20 mm spacers all around on my stock wheels with swifts...looked good, would have even went up to 25 on the backs to make it look perfect.

I tend to stay away from spacers because I try and stick as close to stock as possible for wheel offsets...go too low in the front in offset (or add too thick of a spacer) and you'll lose some steering feel. on CERTAIN cars you'll prematurely wear down your bearings by going too low on offset

I'm down for a drive soon! Can we do it this Sunday around 8 am in independence at the autox course?

I'm really wanting to see more 370s out there!

I would be game for a drive in 2 weeks. The weekend of Halloween would be cool. I was going to TX that weekend but bought the car instead.

Hm... I think I will look into getting 15mm all around for stock then... or do you guys think 15/20 would look better?
