Thanks, no pics yet. Everything is stock, just figured I'd read a little more about them before I jump into any decisions on what to get. Plus, it's winter and I told myself I'd start in the spring time :\

Hey good to hear from you. How is every thing. I now own a Type-S since my car was total. Are you planning on KC this year? I am all stock and in the garage.

The navi conversion isn't too tough. It's more time consuming to pull the interior panels and run the wiring. I had mine done in less than a day.

Yes I did get the PCD's. Willing too help you with that swap count me in. I would like to put the PCD's in soon. See how it sounds with the TYPE-S exhaust, and then put the EVO II in.

Well fellas, its time for a new battery... I tried starting my car last night and got nothing. Had to have my girls dad come over with his cables and give me a jump... Then I tried to start her up this morning and again... nothing. Its still the factory battery so it held up pretty good.

Hey guys, sorry for such a long absence from the boards, just been really busy..
ANyways, I figure it's about time we start planning the spring meet..
So, just for now we'll say..
When: April 9th, 2011
Where: Meet will begin at the parking lot at harriet island like last time

Then I think we should do something for food, maybe a cookout at harriet island, and then a cruise... I'll post something in the chicago thread next to see if we can't get them out here (hopefully in better numbers this time )

Any ideas or thoughts?

What are you going to replace the factory battery with? White Heat houses three OPTIMA YellowTop Batteries (SC34DU); I have been happy with them...

Who the hell are you!? JP. Long time no talk buddy! I think I see you from time to time in Woodbury when I am cruising in BIG RED...

We had our Spring opener meet last year on April 10th and that seemed to be a good time for it. Hopefully I can install my suspension before then to show off my new shoes

In regards to the food situation, I would prefer doing a cookout to enjoy the outdoors since we will have been cooped up for quite sometime by then. I am hoping Chi-Town comes out to represent.

Sounds good, only thing i suggest is maybe having it a little later in the month to make sure its warm enough for a cookout... Pineapples need to be kept at room temperature...
