RE11 are almost 6lbs more than DW or Pilot Sport....thats 24lbs more all over and since its rotational mass, you are looking at about 125-130lbs in dynamic weight

isnt that the whole point of getting lightweight rims?


you dont have to care much about it brahh you putting down some serious powaah....but for lightweight engine power guys like me, I need as much advantage as I can get LOL...

Got a new camera this week. The RX100 II is a great point and shoot with DSLR capabilities. I'm very excited with the quality of pictures that this camera takes. Imageshack's compression reduced the quality some so here is the full def link... http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img834/363/6yx5b.jpg

Damn swoosh...nice shots bro! Y'all get some sick rides out there too huh? So can we invade this "fast fridays" meet after National Meet dinner on 6/6? Huh? Can we?! Can we?! LOL!

In all seriousness though, I'd love to roll there if we can...not sure how early it starts and/or how far it is?

And as well Mr. Swoosh...if you could go ahead and get some CF volk centercaps for those sick ce28s that would be great...k thanks.

I don't think that Fast Fridays is going on that day - believe us, we would of planned it that way if it was. It is not an every week thing, and it just did not land on the Friday of meet week

Guys, I found out today that Longbranch Steakhouse on 91st & Metcalf has a car night EVERY Friday night. Hendricks goes out there every Friday-they had over 120 cars there last Friday night. That's a good option for Friday night!

What's up Shadow

We usually meet up every other week for fast Fridays and most of the times for cars and coffee...

I will try to religiously post in here giving a fair heads up so we can all meet the new members...

My first time in Kansas City and it cost me $900 in car damage.
But that aside I must say KC is a beautiful city and I was more than impressed with what it had to offer.

Hit a pot hole so DEEP it ground up the corner of the lip. The weight of the car landed onto the cone filter of my CAI. It crunched like an accordion and broke the vibration mount.
The underside fender was destroyed. When the back tire went over it bounced off my rear muffler and dented it.

The only silver lining was the hole being full of muddy water, none of it got sucked into the intake which had a clear line of submersion on it.
That was after I found out the hotel lost/gave away my reservation and I had no place to stay lol.
Needless to say, it was not a good first night in KC. I was ready to commit terrorism.

But let me say touring the city after the show made up for it, amazing city and awesome food. Might I recommend Ra Sushi, 5 stars!

Was good meeting you/your lady over the weekend. Check this thread periodically for meetups but Anil hit the nail on the head pretty much, however I also should smell a photo shoot soon once Matt gets his new shoes and everybody having fancy cameras

^It was in the rear parking lot the the Plaza Hotel, next door to the Fairfield inn on the north east end of town.

That place was so freaking ghetto... I walked into my dark room and flick the first switch by the wall. The light does not turn on, but instead it flickers and strobes ominously like I'm about to walk into a Steven King novel.

The elevator doors open prematurely, there were red stains all over the door and bed sheets. The shower drain didn't work, ontop of that the tub had a major floor leak...

What else can I bitch about, oh and I only paid $198 for one night. Dat price gouge!

^^I'll order the AEM V2, I think it looks nicer. Acura will replace the fender for $245, and paint for $360.

I seriously thought about going to the front desk and expressing my feelings, but I really didnt wan't to loose the ONLY room in KC.

Hey Swoosh, thanks for the info. I'm going to try and make it out there tomorrow. And the chapter leader has "stud" damage? I feel like I'm missing a joke here. Anyhow, I hope I get to meet "The Chapter" in the near future! I'll post a picture of my car here soon.
