Cruise: Sunday Feb, 27th. This will be a high speed cruise.
Meet: QT at Hard Rock 12:00pm, Leaving 12:30 for Spavinaw.
We will be stopping in Locust Grove at Harps to meet more people, then grabbing lunch before heading to some nice roads. We will be returning to Tulsa later that evening. Look forward to meeting some new people.
Now as for turbo vs s/c, that is a conversation better saved for the meet. I say search, search ,search. I prefer a turbo but I have done all the little things to allow mine to run smoothly when it is installed. Either way is good. It comes down more to reliability vs available hp gain.

GREAT! I'm so excited, I've been cooped up in my house for like 2 weeks playing my 360 nonstop. I was becoming a hermit. I've never gone to a meet before, let alone a high speed one...this sounds exciting >

High speed cruise... More like Jimmy going as fast as he can and everyone else trying to keep up. I just couldn't keep up with you the last time we went out there. And after we did my shocks I took it a lil to fast on my own and threw out the back end and went flying sideways down the road, gotta love Locust Grove.

Alrighty, I want to get rid of my old rims that have been sitting in my shed. I only have 3 out of the 4 seeing as one was crushed by a hummer. They are rear 18x9.5 and front 18x8.5, you can get the additional front wheel at tirerack.com. I'm just looking for like $150 and it includes the original RX8 rim. https://www.rx8club.com/album.php?albumid=3335 a couple pics.

It should be close to that. We may stay out a little longer but if we do. The roads aren't confusing at all and it would be simple for you to make an early retreat back to Tulsa if necessary. I urge you to come it will be fun.
Oh and QT my ignition should be back tomorrow. I'll install it fri night or Sun before the meet. The new rim will also be in today.
Can't wait to see you guys. Corey is coming with his turbo conv rx7.

It all depends on what you're looking for. If you just want a little drop and a comfy ride, go with Racing Beat springs. If you want a little stiffer then go with TEIN or Eibach, I'm running Tein S-techs w/ tokico d-spec struts. I suggest doing springs and struts at the same time. On that point I love my d-specs but spending roughly $600 on springs and struts. I wish I would have known about the enduratech coilovers. They are $900 shipped from there website.
You have to decide what you like. Springs and struts are easy. Let me know and you can come up here and we'll have a mod day and install them. For coilovers, you really need to find someone that knows how to setup a suspension.

I didn't end up making it out there either, daaaamn. 
My 8's new midpipe is REALLY raspy so I was kinda embarrassed anyways...it sounds real real bad. I hope I can get to formally introduce myself soon, I was excited to meet all of you! I'm always up for a little driving (speeding) 
My stomping grounds are around 81st and mingo, so maybe some day i'll candidly meet one of you, I actually did a while back when I was washing my car at the Fiesta Mart right there. Hopefully by the time there's another meet my car well won't sound like a bumble bee :/
