yeah, but I only ordered one of those... its $25 for a 20 inch wide sticker about 4 inch high letters. This one's going on my windshield I think.

I got the site from Chris... it's Ihatestickers.com ... on the site they can only do a few custom things, like this one is the yourtext in brackets design. Though perhaps if you contact them maybe they can do something truly custom. I did find a kiosk at the Stoneridge mall that does custom vinyl printing, I may stop by later today and ask them to do a simple text vinyl for me.

lol I was wondering if someone would notice that... yeah it's the plastic bag I brought the decals home in, it was on the table with everything so I picked it up and held the camera at the same time LOL.

but never mind that, check these out! car is fully stickered up and ready for 86FEST! Must be at least 20HP added with all the stickers I put on today!

OMG, the windshield one is blue and reflective sparkly! BADASS!

Imperial symbol on the gas flap LOL - can't go wrong with that!

Have an awesome time down there, take lots of pics!!

Hey all, I drove down to SoCal on Thursday, 8/8 and wanted to say what's up to the (likely 86 club member) that gave me a before flying off. I was finishing off my break-in period on the way down to SoCal so I held myself back from all of the fun stuff.

Needless to say, I had way more fun on the way home.

It's too bad that I couldn't get over to the meet in Fontana. I was within an hour's drive of there the whole weekend, but had to attend my sister's wedding.

I hella need an alignment.

[PMok]

so did anyone take any photos from the various meets that happened up in NorCal over the past weekend? If you did and you're willing to share them over 86DRIVE.com please PM me or email at info @ 86drive.com


Also... who's up for a drive this Saturday morning? Looking for suggestions as to new routes as I've done all the old East Bay favorites (Redwood Rd, Palomares, Mines Rd) fairly recently.

Dang, no can do, planning on doing Stockton autoX this weekend.

On the other hand, have not heard any takers on a all/most of the day tour of the Sierra's on the weekend of the 24th. Wife is going to Vegas and the trackday I wanted to do was all full so I'll be flying solo, unless anybody wants to join. I'm doing some planning and trying to decide if I should do tahoe or mono lake.

No can do either. Going away garage sale and BBQ in CV haha

if it's the 25th I might be able to join you. On 24th I'll be at the MR2 annual meet all day in Half Moon Bay.

oh hey @overlookedx and @omegared19 don't forget I have your stickers, let me know when you want to meet up and I can get them to you (if you can't make it out this weekend for a drive).
