Default Los Angeles MEEEEET !@#%@% 818 323 805

This is going to be our Second meet for the Los Angeles area. I was thinking of either the same saturday morning starbucks thing or something a bit different.

Friday night we meet up @ 8:00 for dinner and cruze sunset or old town pasadena...

Either way this is almost two weeks notice to get permission from your wifes and or girlfriends (or both )


Please Vote on which day you would prefer....

Friday March 1st
or Saturday March 2nd

Enginyr- I would stay away from Sunset- 2 many cops + 2 many lexus = 2 many fix-it tickets.... I would be willing to meet up somewhere else. Sat is good for me!

I would love to go, but can't. I've got some other things going on that weekend. If I can break away for a bit I will, but it's doubtful. Oh and some of our girlfriends book weekend months in advanced... damn Palm Pilots... at least she programmed her birthday so I don't forget

Christobol,

I can totally understand how you feel. That's why I could never come to a Club Lexus meeting with girlfriend's advanced schedule.

Hey, I'm totally game. i had fun on the last meet. In terms of my girlfriend, I usually don't tell her till the lst minute, she's not interested in "guy's stuff" and she could care less about cars. This is a plus for me no arguing here Hey just post the date , time, and where.

I'd love to do it the week after the 2nd. My girlfriend doesn't mind me going to these things, in fact I had her take her car to AutoX, and she had a blast. Civic, I have sway bars on now, so the hills would be even more fun

Mike,
They cost me $306 from the Mission Viejo dealership, and cost me $85 to install. All together it was $414 after taxes and everything I believe.
I'm really glad that I got them. I haven't hear a peep from them. Once they installed them I noticed them right away on the corners, but I didn't really feel it while changing lanes. However after a couple of days I really started to notice a difference. I can whip the car all over the place and the body hardly rolls. I think the work perfectly with the stock suspension, I might go with coilovers so I'd find out how they work on a non-stock suspension.

I really would suggest that you get them. For the cost I think they have the most effect to the way your car corners. I don't notice them at all on straight line driving, they only come into play on corners. One thing I have noticed though is that the rear end will come out on me more easily. That because the rear is so much stiffer than the front. It's nothing wreckless though, it just takes a day or two to get used to. I now understand why AutoX doesn't allow them in the stock class (well the rear). If I can get to another meet I'll let you take it for a spin.

Christobol thanks for your fine critique, the cost is reasonable and yes a spin in your IS would do it justice. Lets try to hook up on the next meet. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
