Honestly, SnowFl8k

A little! I was worried thats all. But now i know u can hack it with ease so we will really rip **** up next time!

Also it was the "contact high" and 12pack of CORONAZ i got that screwed me up a few times (inside joke for those reading who think i am insane )

Thanks for the welcome guys. Looking forward to my first cruise. Just got my new rims and exhaust and getting my intake installed this saturday.

The 4th is good for me, Monday the 5th is a holiday so a lot of people will have the day off.

Thanks.

Rick

Not to rock any boats here, but the 3rd is the 1st Saturday of the month (RXclub monthly meets)...and it is the holiday weekend...is that going to be good for "cruising"? Three-day weekend...people drinking..police activity?

On another note...Did you go on a Mailbu run TNT? I've gone to each one except for the one I missed while I was in China.

On the 8 I have Hyper Silver, and on the Z I have Mercury silver. With dark colors, I think the hyper silver looks better, IMO.

I'm really thinking hard about GT7s in Diamond Black. Would you recommend/do you have....the staggered fitment. If so, what size tires are you running.

One more question. TPMS? Or are you running the spare in the trunk trick.

I do have staggered wheels, I have 19''X8.5 front & 19X9.5 rear. Staggered is the way to go especially with the GT-7's, I got a little over a 3'' lip on the rear which IMO looks really agressive. I did have to have them shave the rear fenders tho, because it was rubbing even without lowering. For the TPMS... The place where I had them installed told me that to re-install the TPMS Sensors they would need to drill on GT-7's, and it really didn't sound like a good idea to me, so I'm going to have dealer disable the TPMS warning indicator. Go for the GT-7's I'm very happy with them on both of my cars.

Bad news boys,

I wont be able to make it this weekend. I have to fly out to West Virginia to buy a new car ('57 Chevy 150 coupe)

If you guys want to reschedule for the weekend after it would be great. Otherwise have fun and be safe!
Let me know!
