no drought around here! I think there are 2 or 3 meets planned today even. I'm trying to keep track of them on my site, check 86drive.com for list of upcoming events and meets! Simplicity and KrispyKreme meets today!
This is NorCal. We meet for anything. HWY 49 with me a (maybe) BFF later anyone? Pit stop in Jackson for a while I think.

What he asked!

I don't have LCAs or anything with my coils. I wound up with acceptable camber in the rear (about -2 on both sides) but because the rear subframe is not always straight on these cars sometimes you can wind up with some pretty wonky camber from side to side.

I'd say just get them on and see what alignment you wind up with, you might not need them.

Who's down for a summer event?

I got a lot of PMs this week asking for another big meet.

Too early or what?

Let me know what you guys think

Never too early to start planning right? But the big question is when. June we have the 86EXPO in Vegas. Don't want it same month people's budgets and time may be stretched thin. Maybe July? Perfect time for BBQs and picnics and sunburns haha. In August we may want to do something in conjunction with the AE86 clubs for 8/6? Just throwing ideas out there.

Never too early to start planning/brainstorm. I think @PMok made great suggestions. May I suggest we look into coastal locations for cooler weather unless we find lots of shade similar to Lake Del Valle.

I was already thinking about this. I was even thinking about planning one around late August for a little cooler weather plus not so many college kids on summer vacation and what not.

Pismo anyone?
