Exedy699...This is the closest thing to a Cars & Coffee Kansas City has.. All kinds of cars show up and display. Usually lot's of Ferraris, Lambos, Maserati's, to a few hot rods to Honda Civics.
It officially starts at 7 pm but to get to a good parking place to display your car (in close proximity to KC Trends, I recommend being there by 6 pm. Many/most of us just park on the street so we can get in and out easier.

Here is your invitation to join the Heart of America Z Car Club at the Belton Cruise this Saturday, August 24th for the monthly Belton Car Cruise. This may be a monthly event for Belton but it’s the first for us as a club.
What can you expect? Bring a camera because you’ll be treated to an amazing assortment of cars…anything from classics to hot rods and even exotics! I personally have seen Lamborghinis there!
Besides seeing great cars, downtown Belton businesses are open for dining and refreshments. This is a great family event!
Tony Mithelavage is our “Ringmaster” for this. Tony has done this event several times and based on his experience here is how it will work:
Meeting place: Advance Auto on the north end of Truman Corners Shopping Center. This is at Blue Ridge Boulevard and US 71/I-49.
Begin meeting at 2:45 pm.
Exit Truman Corners at 3:00 SHARP!
The group will caravan to Belton and stage their cars. It is important that if you want to display your car with the group that you arrive with the group. As I mentioned, 100’s of cars attend this and parking can get scarce.
Questions? Contact Tony at t_mthlvg@yahoo.com .
NOTE! If you can’t meet us at 2:45 you can still join us at the Cruise BUT, be advised, there may not be room to park with us.
See you there!!

Maybe. It depends on what my better half says. I'm leaving town Saturday so it may be tough to work in.

So, got my wheel alignment done today and here are the specs. Keep in mind that im lowered on swifts as well. Im not to worried about the fronts being off in camber, but that left rear is pretty far out and wondering if i should consider getting a rear camber kit. What do you guys think? The toe is good which outta the two camber/toe i think toe being outta whack wears your tires more right? Anyways i was going to post this in the thread made for it, but would like the local community opinion as well.

Attached is the before and after. The before is just off since i had the car lowered a month or two ago and never got an alignment since i was waiting on my wheels.

m3chhawk 08-21-2013 05:15 PM

It's not all that bad. Without looking at mine, I think you are quite a bit better. The Z has such a negative camber spec anyway that a half of a degree isn't going to matter much.

I've thrown around the idea of camber kits, but mine have worn pretty well. I've got ~8k miles on them and they are actually wearing pretty even.

Does this mean you have pics with your wheels on??!

Nice review. Will definitely use them for the all seasons. BTW, what camera was used to take the pics? Don't tell me a phone camera bc I will just have to sit down in awe.

In random news, nobody warned me about the huge money black hole around here called Nebraska Furniture. Went just to look and left $600 poorer.
