As far as a formal drifting club the closest one is in ohio and they meet 3 times a year.

Room for one more?

I am about 1.5 hours away from Flint/Lapeer.

I don't mind the drive/cone costs. I should be available for atleast half of the weekends in the summer as long I am not traveling for work.

Michigan BRZ/FRS Random Chat and spotted thread.

Saw an Asphalt FR-S parked right outside Blue Nile Ethiopian restaurant on Washington St in Ann Arbor on Friday evening 3/28/2014 (I know, I know, it's a while ago).

I wish I had brought my BRZ that day as I was going to the restaurant and it would have been cool to park two gray FT86's next to each other.

It would have been cool, but that wasn't me. Ironically enough, I was in that area the previous sunday, though lol

Haha I am sure we will run into (symbolically) each other in the A2 area some time.

So I'm getting new tires next week and I'd like a little feedback.

I'm going to be dailying the car and the tires but I will also be going to several AutoX's. I'm currently looking at Dunlop ZII's but the wet performance has me a bit worried for days like today. Has anyone here dailyed a car on ZII's?

If not the ZII's, what are some other good tires? The ZII's were recommended to me since they apparently do very well on a lighter car. A friend also recommended Continental ExtremeContact DW's that will sacrifice dry performance for better wet performance. I'm also looking at Yokohama ADVAN Neova AD08 R and Bridgestone Potenza RE-11A based on the tire rack track test.

I'd like to join sometime as well.. I'm only 20-25 minutes from Lapeer. I don't have a ton of free weekends, but I'd love to get some drift practice in.

Posted this in the "stock wheels FS" thread. Re-posting here because this is relevant to folks in the Detroit area.

Please PM me if you are in the Detroit area or close to it and are selling your stock rims with or without TPMS.

I will be in Novi this weekend and can pick up the rims on 4/12/2014 or 4/13/2014.

Thanks.

I've been seeing an asphalt FR-S in the north campus area. Is that you?

(I am in a DGM BRZ limited).

Eh, maybe. I am around State, Huron, and Main a lot, because that's where all the best restaurants are, but I don't attend the university, so unless you see me parked on public street parking, it probably isn't me.

Every monday of nice weather I'm at the Diag, so I use the street parking, since it is free after 6 (vs the structures).


I'm going to change a lot of my lights and add some colored calipers and lug nuts, so hopefully I will be a little more identifiable

I've been looking into Spec - D headlights...
