Nice find. Never seen those in Chrome either, but I think if there was a color to pull it off, it would be black. Welcome to the forums

Nice pick and welcome to the forum! I am personally not a big fan of chrome so I prefer the gunmetal wheels but it can still be pulled off!

So who all is planning on making an appearance to FF? I am hoping nothing comes up this time and I can make it!

Welcome, Car looks great, I kinda dig the chrome wheels on the black. Hope you can make it out so we can "inspect" it in person. And at the 6spd, don't turn your back or a certain brown guy will try to steal it from you

Is it me or does it look like he lives in Steves neighborhood too

Fast Fridays at KC Trends June 28th

Many of you know the drill, but I'll post the info again for some people that have never been before. People start getting there around 5, but it doesnt start filling up until 6-7. There is parking all around the building and in the surrounding businesses. It would be cool if we can all park together, but I realize peoples schedules differ and can't get there at the same time.

Here is the address for people that have never been before- KC Trends, 13300 Grand View, Overland Park, KS 66213

The last couple times they have been serving and it looked really good, so that is an alternative to eating beforehand. We usually stand around and BS for a while then cruise to go get ice cream.

So if you guys don't have plans, come on down and see some cool cars and meet some good people.


We can do this official and make a list

Attendees for FF 6/28 (copy and paste to add your name)

1.Matt (Mccollins23) +1
2.
3.
4.
5.

So I got a question on wheels spacers. I bought a set of mugen wheels that are 17x7 with a +48 offset. Was wondering what size of spacers I would need to clear the brembo's? I mean they are close but was thinking 15mm but wasn't to sure.

Any help would most be appreciated!

am guessing the type S stick out by ~7mm (if the tire size stays the same)....so if you have 5-6 mm between the caliper and the type S wheels, the 17x7 will fit just fine

and the type S wheels are 17x8

You never said you were bringing a +1 only that you were lazy.

Not trying to reinvent the wheel and I'm not going to signal white, that was just the LED I used for testing as I found the white ones before the Amber ones.

I'm testing the circuit to emulate the Type 2 switchbacks so I can rebuild my switchback side markers so they match the V3 Tritons (Amber-Off) instead of blinking Amber-White like they currently do.

What is this golf thing? I know how to play "hit the ball get in the cart, drink a beer, hit the ball, get in the cart, drink a beer, etc"

How was it? I play occasionally. If you ever need another player, hit me up

Well Friday was messy.. .was waiting on Brandon for an hour, then he showed up and he forgot his lug key at home lol....

Well we started on the suspension and the second bolt snapped off so we decided to do it later since I dont have a drill and tap....since I travel he might get it done at revline..

So basically I wasted 3 hours and he wasted a 12 pack lol

Glad Robbie came over to help else we wudnt have been able to put the shit back since Brandon is a lightweight lol
