I have been on a few group drives over the years, but yesterday was by far the best (even though I got a nasty crack on my windshield due to flying rocks/gravel/whatever). I have never driven up Mt. Hamilton before, and it was a quite an experience...if nothing else, following all you maniacs showed me that I REALLY need to invest in some upgraded suspension and brakes before the next one! 
I haven't been a member of i-club for that long, so this was my first time in meeting most of you. Good to connect faces to the names. I will upload whever photos I managed to get later on today.
Sign me up for the next one!

Oh well - these things happen, so I'm not pissed about it or anything. I'm getting the windshield replaced tomorrow, and then saving for shocks, brake lines and pads

holy crap.....that was bad one..mine are all small...one decent one.
Get a quality replacement...don't get some crappy one or it'll just crack again. Our stock ones suck. BOOOOO>
when I replace mine I want to get one based off the 05 windows. Have those black dots along the top..nice.
yeah...brakes are coming soon for me. Just can't decide if I want to do rotors/lines pads or just suck it up and save a little longer and get brembos all the way around.

Very sorry about the spin out coming off the freeway haha, sorry about no front plate(car never came with one), I can say **** about why i spun out right off the free way but hey ill just say i had lack of talent.
That drive was amazing. Had another close call but came out A O K. Learned a lot from it and doing a lot of mods for the next run, next month. Hopefully i get my drivetrain swap in and do my engine mod to give me some more horses so that i can actually go a lot fast.
But first tires (thank you Seoul (justin) for your old tires) toyo proxes RA-1 or S0-3s, second sway bars, third if lucky ill have new strut bars front and rear. but most importantly alignment. I goin to be running a extreme camber -2 degrees front and rear. Want to test it out and see how it works out.
GLad everyone came out safe.
Had a lot of fun and thank you for welcoming to the drive.

pads, rotors, lines are a good upgrade but pick your pads carefully. I've gone through several sets. Right now I'm using the PBR ceramic pads (same as Axxis Ultimates). They're deffinately the best I've tried, but I still managed glaze the crap out of them following James and his Brembo's 
. These pads deffinately didn't fade nearly as much as the rest I've tried, but I still haven't found a set that won't glaze on a drive like this.... maybe I should just stop trying to keep up with all the BBK's

haha camber isnt goin to be that extreme actually. but i found what tires im picking up next and they arent S0-3 or RA-1 they are Advan Neova.
Been asking around for alignment set up for my car and getting some feed back. But we'll have to see how it works out when it comes to the roads.

check out www.rogerkrausracing.com for alignments, they do phenomenal work
