It's the V3. I was going to attempt to reuse the old hardware and if there's a significant leak I'll order a new gasket kit from Richie.

Yeah I just got one off of a member still waiting on it and I am going to try and reuse it also I really don't see how the gaskets could be destroyed to the point of leaking.

Just make sure you tighten the bolts down evenly.

Not yet. He's mailing it on tuesday. I'm going to wait til I head up to Fredericksburg in a week or two so I can use my dads lift. Reason being I'd have to drive to the hobby shop on Oceana or Norfolk and I'd have to wait forever to let the exhaust cool down before I spray the PB Blaster on it.

So gonna get some suspension for my birthday (thanks to Casie) stuck in my decision. F&F Type 1's, Tein Street Basis or the Eibach Pro Kit Plus (springs/shocks/sways). Anyone have an opinion who actually has any experience with any of these setups? Have just about murdered the search function and still can't quite decide.

If stock is 1 and slammed on race coilovers is 5 i'm looking between 2 and 3. Don't wanna really slam it either. Maybe 1 or 2 fingers front and rear.

Go with the Eibachs or get the Neuspeed SuperCup kit.

The Teins will be comfortable, but theyre expensive for what you get IMO. Plus, you have to pay for them to be rebuilt when the time comes. The Neuspeed kit uses Koni struts which have a lifetime warranty on them. I had the SuperCup kit on the CL for a few months and I loved it aside from not being able to go low enough. But there was a nice 1.5-2 finger gap all the way around.

It was a good turn out.

We went to freedom car wash at first, not to many people but security showed up then we all rolled out to the marshalls/farm fresh parking lot and everyone stayed till like 11pm.

See everyone next week!

Wish I was local

But at least I hit one meet up this weekend - Richmond Cars and Coffee. It wasnt a bad turn out, but from what I understand, the Chesterfield location is the smaller lot. They alternate locations, so in two weeks there will be one in Short Pump. Ill be there.

I also want to make it to Williamsburg Cars and Coffee sometime soon.

Oh yea, it wasnt bad - other then the occasional douche that would speed out of the lot (particularly the Gallardo driver that decided to do two high speed flybys ).

I have pics, but Im not posting the link yet since it would give away the answer to the Guess that Car Game
