I feel your pain mami. I will check with the SARX guys and see if we have a set time and let you know. Check the SARX lounge because we wanna do some things prior to the run to make sure we "represent" when we are there ;)

shinka~mami 02-25-2010 04:36 PM

i will check the satx threads and see what i gotta do to represent all pretty-like :P

9krpmrx8 02-26-2010 09:41 AM

Who me? I am totally innocent. So SARX is gonna really represent hopefully.

seatownracer 02-26-2010 11:17 AM

Glad to see you will be making it out this year Shinka~Mami!

So anyone doing any mods before the event?

9krpmrx8 02-26-2010 11:22 AM

Yeah I have quit a few things to install but mainly functional items. The only bling is the fender vents and rear rotary light :) I was hoping to have rims but.......... I keep changing my mind each week.

seatownracer 02-26-2010 01:10 PM

Yeah I think my only new mod will be sways.....can't wait to install them!

Serisouly though if you guys are looking at getting stuff check out MVP Motorsports, they are giving us pretty decent discounts on stuff. Plus they will ship direct to you.

9krpmrx8 02-26-2010 01:45 PM

Just checked them out, decent prices. Are you getting rear sways too? I have been looking to get fronts and some of the tracks guys this aftermarket rears upset the balance of the car on the track.

jiggawha1 02-26-2010 02:17 PM

Getting new gauges finally, and maybe springs? Scott what rear fog did you get? Im pretty surprised mine has held up this long considering friend pieced that thing together from scratch. Plus I have a new motor this year so I won't have to keep the car running at all the stops hahaha

Well the prices on the website are not our prices......If there is something you like shoot me a PM and I will contact them and get our group price for you.

Yeah I bought front and rear sway bars....I have only heard the exact opposite from people, everyone seems to love the sways after getting them and everyone I have talked to has a complete set.

If you do sways, I would HIGHLY suggest you do both front and back.

9krpmrx8 03-01-2010 11:34 AM

Yeah I have talked to a few heavy track guys and they advise against running aftermarket in the rear. I can't wait for the run!
