Also did anybody read my coilover post? I REALLY want some good coilovers with US support and these are being reviewed by everybody else as WAYYYY BETTER than our other options (BC, KW, Tein HA) at this price point. On top of that they're local in VA and can rebuild in 3 days if something breaks - nobody other mfg can do that for us! I can't afford to buy TEN SETS tho so I need to find people who want a GREAT set of coilovers at a CHEAP price to go in with me. Help!

Looks like a group buy may be forming for Fortune Auto Coilovers...we became a Fortune Dealer and did a group buy in another community and it went great, 9 sets of coilovers ordered so far with over 2000 hits. The coilovers are the Series 500 (32-Way adjustable, fully threaded body) and normally sell online for EDIT $1675 [I was informed by Fortune the G37/370z are more expensive due to the housing design?). For the G37, if we can get a few folks together, I think we can sell them for EDIT: $1399 picked up locally - add a few bucks if you want them shipped anywhere in VA. I'm pretty sure I can get them cheaper than this, but that is the minimum advertised pricing. PM for details. Best of all, they are rebuildable and serviceable and warrantied right here out of Richmond. You do NOT have to send them out of the country to have them serviced and replaced unlike most nicer coilovers.
These are fully customizable coilovers where you get to specify the spring rate and valving (street car, road race car, drag race car, etc) and there are tons of options as well. They also make a series 510 and a Titan model that is inverted with dual comp/rebound adjustments.
If anybody is interested, read up on them here:

^^^ wanted to add, I'm planning to go down to Fortune this week and pickup a set for my G37. I'll probably bring them with me (not sure if I have time to get them installed) to the Virginia Beach meet at Mt Trashmore on 4/30. If anybody wants to see a set you should come to that meet!

You sound like a Fast Intentions guy then. There are two that I know of...One guy is MIA, and the other is Nosbinor. Maybe you could hear it at the College Park Meet if we get some people to go?

Is anybody else going to come out for the Mt Trashmore meet? Should be plenty of folks there, but will be a mix of toyotas and nissans (not just a G meet). We usually go karting and bbq (or order pizza), and have some fun activities. locals and people staying the night go out to eat/bars afterwards, and you're all invited.
Hope to see more guys there!

Here are the details guys!

For those of you who have attended this meet in the past, we normally have a pretty good turn out and a pretty good time... hell even Bill graces us with his presence. This year should be no different, except maybe more of you will get in your cars and come down/attend.
Anyways, details will be as follows, now if anyone has a problem with dates/times please let me know and we can leave it up to popular demand to decide the best for everyone, cause really, I'm down for whatever.
Date:
April 30th
Location:
Viginia Beach
Times:
-Meet at Mount Trashmore at 12:00(ish) to hang out, meet, show, shenanigans, whatever
-Leave Trashmore around 3-4:00 and cruise down to either AIK for go karting or the outdoor go karting place which also has mini-golf and paintball I believe. Either way, some activity of said nature.
-Dinner, time is TBD depending on how long we are hanging out at the karting place.
-After dinner, party/bar/club/get drunk. This is for those who can actually go out, every year we have attendees that can't legally drink and I will not provide those with alcohol... so you figure it out. MAY be able to do this at my place if there isn't a ton of people, but we'll see.
-Sunday morning, anyone left in town, we can hit up breakfast, beach, whatever if anyone still wants to do anything before they head home. Hangovers will probably be in effect, so whatever we can fight through.
Cost:
-Whatever it costs you to get here (Virginia Beach), plus if you want a hotel (Bill stays at the classy ones, most stay at the cheap ones), food/entertainment.
-We can do cheap pizzas or something at Mount Trashmore, but I will not be flipping the bill ever again, so we can collect money at that time, or just eat on your own, there is tons of places to get food.
If you are traveling from out of town and want to wash your car before the meet, I will post up the address of the Freedom Wash that is right down the street from Mount Trashmore. I will get all the addresses for everyone asap. If anyone is coming into town before noon, don't bother coming to my place first unless you are staying with me because honestly, I'm getting up in time to go straight to the meet, and I'm not washing my car
.
This meet is open to anything MR2 related, celica's, etc. We will probably have a few locals with other cars that will stop by. Screamin@ATS is considering inviting the G37 crew to join up with us as we have some other business that may be going down at the same time pending some details. So if your buddies want to come and they have different cars, we'll consider it, but lets keep it mostly to MR2 ish crap.
There are probably more details and a ton of you will have questions so I will update as I think of it. For now that is all. I will start a running list and update it regularly. Please post in the following format if you want to be added to the list to keep it organized. Thanks.
