"NASCAL SC2" Northern and Southern California 2nd annual SC Meet?. Maybe in Feb. or Mar.? Hmmmmmm....How would 20 or so SC's look rolling down Cannery Row at dusk I wonder?

I'm still pissed that I missed the first SC meet earlier this year. True I didn't have my car but I would've loved to see the SCs...

But yeah, if we can get some turn out, I'm always down for a roadtrip.

Plus, I just got my front griffin badge and my Soarer for the rear. Now I can't make up my mind if I want to pull the Lexus and the "L" off the rear..

Hey, Mike is back!!! COOL!!! What do you guys say. Monterey sounds like a great excuse err reason to get together. Besides, my car is heading to this place tomorrow so I can be like Mike (thanks for your guidance Mike). Can't wait until the next SC meet. I promise I won't leave early.

Can't wait to hear your new "voice" Dan! Did you decide to go with a similar set-up? You're gonna DIG it! (however long distances will become a little more fatiguing) Just turn the ML up!

I would've join you guys but that is too far for me also I really don't wanna add 2k+ miles on the car. How about a national Lexus/sc430 meet? A location halfway for everybody in the U.S....Oh wait, I got a location! How about somewhere in Tx!

nice wheels hipendicul. i'm tempted to buy your old ones, but i guess i wait for a while.....

Anyway, hope you get a kit cause that would wrap around the car very nicely.

Let me know, I'll cut you guys a good deal on the wheels but you have to be able to pick them up.

And I don't know if I can run a kit. My car is pretty low but I may try someday. Right now, I still need rear shocks, tires and new paint on the front of the car in that order. But when come time for paint, I have a hunch that this will include a Toms roof spoiler and maybe a Kit.. but thats atleast 6 months away.. =(

You can definitely go lower Ken. E-mail me and we'll hook up so I can show you my set up, body kit and all. Only thing is that you wont be able to drive over anything thicker than a water bottle on it's side.

Damn, you guys are evil... I wouldn't mind going lower but I'm worried about the ride. I think the rear of my car is way to high but I can't do anything about it until i get the correct sized tires, which may be sooner than I thought.

Anyone want to do a mini SC meet this weekend? I'm thinking about taking my car to J-town as they have a parking garage that has the skyline of down town LA for a background. Its a favorite spot for people taking pictures.

P.s. Yeah, I def like the look of the wald kits, really brings down the sides of the car..
