Thumbs up Quick introduction

What's up? Long time reader here at CL – finally decided to be social and participate.

My name is Rich and I'm from the Union, NJ area.

I have a IS250 AWD with a few light mods, nothing major (F-Sport springs/shocks, 35% tint, JoeZ intake, F-Sport high flow air filter, Continental DWS Extreme tires). The 250AWD can be a bit of a slow pig at times, but once I got the F-Sport goodies installed the fun increased significantly. I don't complain too much when I'm able to slice through the snow during our winter months.

Attached are the customary pics of my car – hope to be able to attend the next meet.

Theres usually a group of us that meet up on Wed nights. The locations varies from time to time. You have came to the right group. We are a very close group and we call each other family. We also have wrench meets at my house sometimes as well. I wanna set up another one before it gets cold. So if you need something done post up and we can get a group together to work on it.

Nothing major right now. Maybe an exhaust in the near future. Wednesdays works well for me.

welcome to the club rich! as tj and teo said, you're in luck since there's a few of us in the union area, including myself. we meet up pretty often and whenever we can and it would be nice to finally have another 2IS join the group. there won't be a meet tomorrow due to the rain in the forecast and not many people being available, but i'm sure there will be another one next week (just keep an eye on the thread). we of course do hope you can make it out to the pa meet on the 20th as well. a meet at bww sounds like a good idea btw. we'll see when we can do that
