Call Todd @ Wheel Recon - 512-587-9892 - he will come to you. Exceptionally talented.

going to make a few passes on Lime Creek RD around midday on sunday if anyone is interested. apprx 15 miles of tight twisties through the hills near lake travis. I drove it for the first time last sunday. awesome road for the twins

A bit random, but do you know if lot F is a gravel/dirt lot?

Might show up at that for a bit. Just wouldn't know what I'd do... stand around and... drink?

I'd just keep an eye out for cops this weekend but happy motoring

Totally random but anybody know why FRS Matt was banned?

And talk! It's actually pretty close to the Plaza Saltillo station so it's straightforward to leave a car at one of the other Metro stations, too, in case the drive portion would be in question.

Seems kind of weird to take a train to a car event for some reason, though.

Haven't decided if I'm going to that - I'd drag my wife there, but I'm not sure that she'd have all that much fun.

I found a significantly better road than lime creek road recently. A bit faster in terms of average speed, but has some real fun technical stuff. I love you guys but I just can't let it out yet. I have never seen another car on the road. LCR Is fun as hell, but can turn unfun very quickly due to its popularity

It's hard not to tell, I am not even sure why I posted it. Maybe I'll take a video of a run on it and then you guys can try and figure out where it is. Just don't wanna give it up and turn it into what LCR is now.

Otherwise every cyclist will end up on there. I quit doing LCR for that reason. Those cyclists have a death wish I don't want to be a part of.

Even if I ask nicely??? I did give you my shift boot once upon a time - road information seems like a nice trade. I will admit to looking all over google maps randomly to the south west of austin. I've found some fun ones - one even has steep hills where it feels like you get air on the top and are gonna scrape on the valleys. Like a roller coaster.

Anyone know if that are any small refined front lips that do not lower the car much - just add some protection from curbs etc? A look just a little more subtle than the STI one and doesn't lower more than a few mm would be perfect.

Last weekend when pulling into an end parking spot the nose scraped on the side - I've been careful about in front of the car but not the side like that. Just a thin bit of black plastic would go a long way (in protecting for the future and hiding my "oops"). Was a bad day that day - work took away a promotion they'd given me a week before so I was a little distracted.

I've actually known quite a few people that have had work done with MZM. One a 500whp turbo S2000, the other an LS1 swap into a BMW E36 (don't ask why... I don't know). Their work is solid and they seem to be awesome guys.
