You slap those SSR on Morg? Looks really nice man. Aren't they 48offset? You didn't need spacers for the front?

Great meet guys and it was nice putting a username with a face together. Unfortunately I had to leave early so I missed the DRAMA from the popo's. Thank you for sharing photos guys.

nice video-twisdit...

to recap for folks joining us in progress:
the 4th annual great falls meet in No. VA convenes.
a mini group shot is attempted (as seen in the video to pose the rides), then US park police show up and break up the fun. as he gets out of his car he pulls out his tix book to start writing tix to all the accords that have been arranged in front of the TLs (since us TL owner were being good citizens and parked in actual spaces). the accord owners pull forward so as NOT to obstruct the parking lot. our little gathering gets broken up and the park police hang out to make sure we aren't doing anything he doesn't like.

we then relocate to another parking area in the distant corner of a local mall nearby (us locals-tyson's two galleria). as we are attempting to arrange the cars again for mini group shot...mall cop shows up and apprently says that the eye in the sky has been watching us. he has been sent to check it out. 20 min later, another mall cop comes (the last sequence in the video), and he gets out threatening to call the local police.

we were only minding our own business and trying to park our cars!!! not like we were harrassing people or doing stupid things. it did make for good entertainment though.

all the drama didn't take place until 2 hrs or so after we were hanging out at the park. i think the park police were keeping an eye on us after they drove through a couple of times during those two hours. probably realizing it was some car club thing going on. lol. it was a nice day though...almost 60* at the end of january?!

Yep, theyre 18x8 +48. I ran a 7mm spacer front and rear. I couldve gotten away with a 6mm spacer but I played it safe. The spokes come real close to the calipers.

And yes, that RL is sick. I love everything about it.

Editing my pics now, I didnt take many though.

More pics here:

Pw is azine1

I feel as though I went overboard with post processing. I was forced to use my kit lens and the pics, before processing, look horrible This should be the last meet using that lens though

My fav = the RL

335s like that are like Civics here in LA so common, but you never see a cleanly modded RL

Nice pics, thanks for sharing

looks like a pretty decent meet, pretty lame about the polizia hassling you but oh well.

that blue S2K with the hardtop and the TE's is fawkin sexy, and Zelaya's RL is one of the nicest I've ever seen. the Mugen kit on it looks drop-dead gorgeous!
