Going to be a slow part out but I have a feeling this time next year everything will be off the car except my lights, tint, front and rear lip and that will just about it. Just need to start putting my funds towards other things.
And Im down with Sushi next week!

Mike, how far in advance do you know you're work schedule? I'm trying to plan an actual MEET/CRUISE for us. We haven't had an actual meet yet this year. C&C shows kind of take away from having time or any cruises and such. I'm looking for a weekend that we have no shows or anythign going on, and us all get together for a meet and greet, cruise, and then late lunch.
I really want to be in attendance for that cruise, and like mike said we should get a water activity planned. Hopefully after I get back from the wedding our boat will be fixed and we can get those out and have a good time
What's the word on autocross Lance? Are you planning on attending?
I've just been off track for scheduling meets since our trip. Needed a few weeks off from the "car scene", and then I've been working quite a bit for the business.

Unless your going a BBK or have an akebono kit, screw the rest of that ****. I will never recommend different rotors or pads again. I literally hated my brakes, and i'll put these new OEMs up against those other ones in day to day driving performance any time.
/rant.
Boy that felt good to let out. Gotta rant on **** every once in awhile.
BTW, Trev. I had my sister and her husband's friend whose a 10 year tech at Morries Subaru help me put the brakes in (well, he did most of it haha) and he literally did the whole car in an hour (and hes never done the brakes on a G35 before). Helps with a little experience hahaha. Just a wam bam thank you ma'am and the **** was done. I was like, holy crap. lol

The event is this Sunday, and the preregistration ends tomorrow night at Midnight.
Did you see the course. Its literally about 30% of the size we did last Sunday, not even using the back stretch of the course.

Andrew are you 100%? I'll go if we get a few guys to participate. I'm assuming the #'s will be low since powercruise is going on, and with the short course, hopefully we'd get a bunch of runs in? The event is limited to 100 entrants, compared to last Sunday we had about 150!!!!!

Random rant - I've been looking for deck furniture for some time now. Why is it that when I finally do pull the trigger on a set, it costs more than my living room furniture did?
When I started the whole process I had no idea that you had to spend close to a grand to sit on your deck in style. It's not even a full set! 2 chairs and an end table. 1k down the drain. No wonder I can't afford to mod my car much.
Janik - I'll give you one of my chairs for your exhaust.

Brakes sucked. Absolutley hated them. Makes no point to have performance pads and **** when you just DD the car around town. Feel goes down the tubes, and they don't grip well unless your heating them up. I was so unimpressed with those brakes. Put some new OEM rotors up front and my old **** back on the rear and the car stops 100X better now.

Yeah, I'm not completely convinced on my brake "upgrade" either. I got the Stop-tech slotted and Hawk HPS pads up front and the bite seems less but brake dust is definitely less also. I'm sure there'd be a more noticeable difference if I tracked my car... I would hope.
