^ooh, for real? haha, I usually go park all the way near the tennis courts on the 3rd floor..lol I take that last parking sitting halfway in the median

What specs are you guys running?

I'm doing it on monday but I'm down for trying diff specs... I just need a baseline to work off of, and I heard good stuff about the UK spec so I figured I'd try it. 6.5K miles?! LOL thats nuts. My camaro ran like 25K miles on one set of Eagle F1's with powerslides/launches often.

Also purchased 36mm socket, so if anyone wants to use to tighten their axle nuts, you guys can borrow from me. save like 20 bucks or so

I'm running

.25" toe out in the front
1.7 deg - camber
maximum caster

.25 toe in in the back.
2.3 deg - camber

the toe will kill your tires but I can take the off ramp on H1 right next to the stadium(town bound) at over 60 MPH with no squeal, I'm actually scared to try it faster, but I know the car could.

it's not rude, that's what it's all about. I'd hope you guys would do the same if the situation was reversed. When I get there I will find out what the size limitations are for you guys. Tires maybe?? The street tires there are always a generation ahead of ours. plus how much more baller can you get?
i felt like rude in a sense that if you didn't offer it and people were asking about hoods / rims / suspension, then ya I think thats rude. but if your more than willing to ship / box it up. SHOOTS!

haha.

Cool, how come toe out on the front? doesnt that make it pull all over the place+cut down on the steering? Does it just feel better? (total noob, just wondering). Is the toe in on the back to keep it tucked in and not sliding all over the place?

Maybe Ill try a average of UK spec/your specs for agressive vs. 'liveable' setup I got dcent priced tires on my car right now so i dont mind it being chewed up too much..

Aloha friends, I didnt want to start a new thread so I figured this would be the best place to ask some questions. Anyways me and the wife decided were going to close shop here on the mainland and move to Oahu sometime in September. We wanted to get the ball rolling as far as finding jobs out there. I currently work as a Personal Banker with JPMorgan Chase Bank and wanted to know if anyone on the boards here works for any of the banks in Oahu. Also if their are any opportunitys with other companies that start off with a descent salarie. Hopefully if I can secure a job sooner we may be out there before September. Im looking forward to meeting all you guys, and attending meets, and most of all cruising topdown in that awsome weather. Thanks for any help you can provide for me. And hopefully I'll see you soon.
