Hell yeah the grommet is a pain in the ***, especially the tight as engine space its in!!! Sounds real good hits so hard with all music, R&b, rap, rock, etc. Next install... side skirts, buying them this week, having them prepped, blocked, primered and painted and should be installed by next weekend. Im going with the R-Magic side skirts, i like the way they have a little style to them.

Well as for me Im one of those people that do alot of research and looking around before i actually buy something. It has to have the look I want and the "benefit" of having it. Racing Beat even states that aftermarket catbacks are only good for about 3.5 hp which for $600-$1k+ is a waste, all you pay for is sound, looks, and a Fix it ticket. Not only that but u attract more attention to yourself, than we already do having metallic or modded RX8's A race pipe on the other hand for about $200 is reasonable as they can give 12Hp gains. I dont have one yet, but will soon. So i spent $80
and got the same look everyone else has on this forum
, and soon to be installed race pipe, about 12hp gain for less than $300 total. And yea, stainless steel, Enjoy.

I just got back from crusing on pch just now and noticed it's freakin' BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE!
Winter took it's toll on a lot of us, but Spring is pretty much in full swing now - what do you guys think of organizing a spring meet and cruise????
anybody??

Where should the meet be at though? (<-terrible english) I don't know my way around the ortega hwy too.
I feel it would be awesome if we could schedule it to start some time in the morning then cruise down pch to pass by Main Street HB.
Or maybe we can have the meet end there at the Beach for some brews and burgers.

My girl lives about a mile or so from Main & PCH, count me in.
Problem with driving on PCH is we'll attract a lot of attention, TONS of cops on there because of all the bikes that cruise it. Also, HBPD is a bitch about small things like tint, front plates, etc.
We could meet up somewhere in South County and then drive up to Main St and have lunch there.

if we come up on PCH, we can turn into the parking structure that's underneath the movie theater.
I THINK we can get there without driving on Main, there might be a back way in. Lemme check.

If we're heading West on PCH (from say....Newport beach) then we can turn Right on 1st and left on Walnut.
That's the quickest way to the underground parking structure. Our cars should be safe there and away from the cops.

Oh man, i was there the other night at RA sushi. There's a new parking structure right after main street. I forgot the name of the street but it's another under ground parking structure that's pretty empty (awesome for pictures). I'll stop by tonight and check it out some more...
p.s.- Front license plate?? what's that???
