Nice meeting you hooked! :D Yeah, I think we were all f**ked up. :biz: and don't mind my boy Mike, he gets rowdy when he drinks. :lol: He's one of my best friends and he is just so much fun to chill with!

gotta make a decision somewhat soon, tickets sell out every year, FYI.

you get a T-shirt n a bunch of schwag w/it. $30 a ticket but you also get drink specials at every bar, i heard you can get wasted w/o spending that much dough.

yeah you have to pay to drink, go figure right?

Just think, this could be you, peeps bring cereal so they can last all 12 bars all day long, it's gonna be f**kin crazy. I wouldn't count on anyone to organize a CC bar crawl to this extent, this is the biggest bar crawl in the country.

Posted in one of my Miata forums, sooo sick, these are the tires i'm getting in the spring :D

Finally got my good buddy (Danny) to start modding his EVO 9 RS and lead him to suspension, wheels, and tires. We did quite a bit of test fitting to get 10" wide wheels on the car without body work or sticking out. End result I feel was nailed 100%.

Suspension: BC Racing Coilovers (500lb springs front, standard springs rear)
Wheels: 18x10 CCW C14's (+33, stain black w/reflective white pin stripe)
Tires: 265/35/18 Bridgestone RE-01R
Hardware: 949 Racing Alumium Valve Stems & Lug Nuts

To run the same offset 10" wide wheels all around the rear fenders were rolled the rear fenders, modified the rear bumper connection (due to ride height), and switched the stock BC Coilover 400-415lb 8" longs springs out with 500lb 6" long springs (to gain wheel/tire clearance from the suspension). The car is setup with 2 degrees of camber all around and got the car corner balanced with a cross weight of 50.2% with stock sway bar endlinks.










Adjusting The Ride Height, Camber, & Toe



Changing The Front Springs (8" Tall 400-415lb to 6" Tall 500lb)



Before & After Spring Change



Wheel Clearance (After 6" Spring Were Installed, Rear Trailing Arm Clearance)



Reflective White Stripe (sorry for the crappy pics)
