grounding kits can have results just nothing you'll really notice unless you have an audio system. it will help clean up your engine bay tho.

just get gold plated connections and center ring and larger size wires and it should be fine regardless of manufacturer.

ok im looking into some kits, seems like most people just buy them of ebay so im gonna keep my eye open, tryin to dump as much money as i can into the ride before the nice weather gets here and the meets/ cruises start happening.

james you may have already seen this but for you other non midwestce.com members they are scheduling a mazda meet that i may check out heres the details according to midwestce.com

This is a yearly meet we have been having for almost 10 years now!...and it is back again this year! Also the STL crew will be getting together Saturday morning to caravan out there, post or PM me if you have questions.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION:
Date: April 17-18, 2010
Time: Starts Saturday at ~12:00pm
Location(s): Cosmo Park, 1615 Business Loop 70 West, Columbia, MO

ACTIVITIES:

Saturday: Arrive in Columbia and meet at Cosmo Park by 12:00pm.

Nice Weather:
We will be having a meet 'n greet kinda thing at the park for a while, everyone can park and mingle and such..you know, the typical start to a meet.

1:00ish- BBQ at the park
Anyone/everyone is encouraged to bring food/plates/etc..

Rain Plan:
Meet at the park, we will go from there pending the weather conditions.

1:00ish - Shakespeare's Pizza for lunch. There are lots of places to park in downtown, I recommend going to one of the parking garages. An address will be posted shortly.

Address (for those who want to meet us there):
Tel: (573) 449-2454
225 South Ninth Street
Columbia MO 65201

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Lunch:

3:30ish - Cruise and pictures
Jarod (thefastredone) is planning the route and will post it once he goes out and drives it. We will likely be stopping a couple places to take some pictures as well! The route will be posted here and I will have the route to hand out as well.


5:30ish - Putt-Putt/Bowling/Pool
This is kind of up to everyone what they want to do and also the weather. There is a Putt-putt/go-kart/etc..place that we went to last year which is along the cruise route somewhat.

There is also a pool hall in downtown Columbia, there is also a Bowling alley nearby.

ANYONE'S IDEAS ARE WELCOME!

Dinner

7:30ish - Golden Corral for Dinner!

I figure this is fairly inexpensive, and most anyone can get what they want there..subject to change though.

SUNDAY

10:00am or so (depending on how late the night goes, lol)
Breakfast at IHOP! This is something we have done almost every year for those who stay the night.

After Breakfast, we can either all part ways or do some more cruising and general shinanigans.
