Maybe earlier? 7 ish?
I could do earlier, but without interest in the meet this isn't going to happen. I'm going to try to go recruit more of our PNW members.
How about April 17th @ 7 or 8?
If i've been told correctly, I'll be able to order my coilovers this week and that should give me plenty of time to get them installed, setup, and aligned. PLEASE MEGAN, NO MOAR DERAYS!
Should've gone with Tein haha. Ya the 17th at 7 or 8 works for me.
hahaha maybe, but less functionality for $200 more? non-adjustable shock bodies, less desirable spring rates, and doesn't come with own top hats.Quote:

Soooo far awayyy.
Only like half an hour for me haha.

Count me in. Whatever time works for me.

Agreed. Maybe we could pull from some from one of the other Washington based Miata clubs? At the same time, I don't want a whole bunch of M.netter types showing up with 15 stock Miata's haha. I like the group we have going on now and I definitely like that it's all (or mostly at times) Miatas.Quote:

90% chance of being there.
My car is stock.....Quote:

well my exhaust i had on the last cruise decided to blow up when the motor throwed a fireball lol so now im running an 18" x 6" round magnaflow, sounds good but has a little rasp...
i'll come!
Looks like I won't have coilovers for this, so I really don't feel like driving my car (yes, the shocks/alignment are that bad). Can I hitch a ride with anyone?
What happened to your coilovers? I'd give you a ride but my girlfriends got that seat reserved.
Well, I started thinking about going with the tein street advance since JSCSpeed is offering a good deal on them still, but now my girlfriend and I are extremely interested in an apartment we found (w/single car garage :D) so I gotta save my money a bit for the security deposit and first months rent. If Robear racing calls to say the ez streets are in stock, I'll go ahead and order them, but even that'll be stretching the funds haha. Thought about just getting some kyb gr-2's for the time being, but that would be a waste of money if I were to just get coilovers and another alignment in 2 -3 months. So until then, I'm trying to reduce wear on the star specs from mis-alignment and the ride quality is just terrible so I kinda hate driving it right now.Quote:

I could prob give ya a life depending on where you're located. I'm in Puyallup so this meet is pretty close for a change.Quote:

I hate that. That's how my old apartment was minus the door. Two of the apartments were above the carport and the carport let out into a super pot holed alley.
My garage is an actual garage. But after my work bench, tool box, and bike; the miata of all things barely fits inside. :(
On a better note. I have MR stickers for anyone who wants to show up to the meet!!
I was supposed to have stickers too but I haven't gotten them yet!
I think I might have gotten your pack. He sent me two envelopes of stickers.
im at the airport getting ready to hop on the plane to head back to portland!
see you guys on saturday!
Ah okay. As long as someone got them!Quote:

Unless a miracle happens, I wont have the Miata there, but will be going.
I'll probably be there right at 8 because I'm picking up my girlfriend in Federal way at 7:30. Here's a link to the location of the Krispy Kreme in the parking lot for those of you who didn't meet up there for the Olympic cruise.

Hey c'mon now, that was the first time in about two years that I had had anything to drink. I pretty much don't drink at all for numerous reason, so it didn't take very much.
Man this whole time I thought it was at 9pm.. I'm glad some people were still there when I showed up haha
Should we set up another one? I finished all my donuts and need a reason to go back to get more.
I'm down to make a twice monthly meet alternating between Dicks and Krispy Kreme. No ricing allowed so we can continue to have these meets.Quote:

lol
It was funny that the only people ricing were people not in miatas that were just driving by haha. Well, at least in the last hour or so, I don't know what happened before I got there.

The best offer (and I use the term "best" loosely) I've gotten so far was a knockoff Bride and $250 and the guy flaked on coming to look at them to boot.
Who would've thought trying to sell a set of Works would be so much…work.
eBay and wheel boxes. Done.Quote:
