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?

Could be fun. I have a few business trips coming up around that time, but if I'll be around and if my car is done by then I'll make it.

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...
