The more meets the merrier. I've met up a handful of friends that I've already known who happen to have the fr-s and brz now. Yall can suggest some meet up events as well. Our get togethers are not so in advance notice.. it's more like who is available to meet up now to grab a bite or drink.

There are two car meets going on for tommorow thursday night 9/6/12*

First one is from 7pm - 10pm:

Five Guys Burgers and Fries
15810 Southwest Freeway #100, Sugar Land, TX, 77479


Second one starting @ 9pm is:

Stance Garage autoworks
14610 Hwy 249 , Houston, Texas 77086


I already confirmed atleast 3 brz's and 1-2 fr-s' will be going to the five guys meet.

Atleast one fr-s will be going to the stance garage meet.

Some of us will be pre-meeting around 7pm @ I-10 / Blalock in the 99 Ranch Market parking lot. We will be in front of the 'Golden Oolong' Tea House. Will probably head out by 7:15pm and cruise to the Sugar Land meet. If we aren't too tired at night, we may all cruise over to the northside meet around 9pm. Expected to be over 100+ cars at both meets.

The car looks sick! What wheels are those?

Also, were you on I-10 eastbound on Monday afternoon? If so I saw you (was driving our sienna). That car looked amazing rolling sown the road and I have to assume it was yours as it was black with tint and black wheels with red annodized lugs.

Quick show of hands if you will.

We are going to be getting the ECU-TEK protuner software before year's end.

Who in the area would be interested in a tune?

I certainly will be once I get the car next year. do you plan to raise the RPM limit as well? What do you consider safe for these engines? I'm not very familiar with Boxer engines.

Probably not much at first. Right now with 0 of these in junk yards over-revving one and hitting a valve would ve a VERY expensive experiment. We tend to let other people handle destructive testing We like to keep our customer's cars reliable.
