Does anyone have stock seats they're wiling to part with? I need to cannibalize some for parts.

Would love to get together with you guys in Wilmington! I'll be moving there around the end of May from Fayetteville NC

That's great Kip : )

What is everyone's thoughts on tires in the Wilmington area? I have General G-Max that I got in Germany right now. They SUCK! Wet handling doesn't exist. I'm looking at Goodyear Eagle F1 all seasons right now. A little pricy, but sometimes you get what you pay for. Also, how often do you guys get together?

For my street wheels I run the BFG - Force KDW's that really do well on the street. They are also my wet autox tires. For autox I run the BFG Rivals and have been happy with this setup for the past year.

Also coming up on May 18 is an autox in Wilmington. You all should come on out and check it out.

I'll probably be there.

Ok Wilmington, it's time for a meet and greet! I'm not sure about schedules and such, but let's come up with a day to all get together.

RedFrame 06-06-2014 09:07 PM

Good idea Kip. I work 3rd shift so my no go zone is mid day about 12 to 5. I like evening/ night meets or mornings.

kippywdfa 06-10-2014 03:43 PM

Anytime works for me. Just let me know when and where. 910-nine one six-4335

Kip, could you post a pic of your car so I know it's you if I see you out rolling?

kippywdfa 06-16-2014 02:25 PM

I would, but it seems the only way is to insert a url for the picture. I havnt figured out how to put an image for my profile either. haha. In any case, I added you on facebook.

Also, I'm mostly looking for things around the Wilmington area. Not trying to drive to Charlotte or what not. Sorry.

I live in Leland, and I've heard there's a car meet in Wilmington every Tuesday. Anyone know where it takes place?

Yeah, it's at a bowling alley called Ten Pin. It's not a bad meet, but it's used to be better. It's starting to be run over by rednecks and their squatted trucks.
