[eric wolf]

Thanks, where are you located?

[IFytFyrs]

Congratulations! I just completed the adoption process on Monday... I'm originally from the left coast. I'm jealous, as my new toy is back in storage (after its safety and E-test yesterday). Given your weather, you may not have it out every day, but at least you can have it out every MONTH!!!

[DOOPHUS]

WELCOME, Eric (aka: Newbie in Maple Ridge) . . . from Southern Arizona

Welcome from the Okanagan. There are quite a few Fanatics in the Lower Mainland, and many of them will be coming to visit us June 24th - 27th.

Here's a link to the information about the Peach City Beach Cruise.

4th Annual SSRs at the Peach City Beach Cruise June 24 - 27, 2010

There's also an early get-together late March. You can catch up on that one here.

March Spring Opener>fanatics!!

However, once Ticklepink (also known as Wagonmaster Sue) gets her mitts on you, you are kinda stuck with us.

Here's some of what's on tap for this year.

NW SSRs 2010 - Mark Your Calendar!!!!!

Hope to meet up with you at the Beach Cruise.

Several of us will he happy to help you spend money on your new toy. Lift struts are just the start. New 4:10 or 4:56 gears, maybe a supercharger (lots of those will be at the Beach Cruise), new exhaust system, maybe a little paint.

Hi from Langley We are definitely having some top down weather!! Hope to see you around.

[LTs SSR]

Welcome from Southern California!!!

[eric wolf]

I want to do a few mods like lowering with Eibach coils and Flowmaster exhaust, what are some other common mods, is it worth getting the K&N filter and do any of the chips work?

[MoodyBlue]

Congrats and Welcome to the Party Eric Wolf.

I have the Eibach springs. They work great. Lots of opinions about exhaust systems. You might want to have a listen to a few of them before making the decision. Sandy (Turnheadz) has a Corsa system. I think it's the best cat back system available - the tailpipe tips are the best. Unless you want to go whole-hog and get Mike's Old School system, complete with new cat converters.

You can get to hear them all at the Beach Cruise.

[HALSSSR]

Welcome from the great puget sound region, olympic peninsula and surrounding Seattle,Tacoma,Bellevue,Kirkland areas! We're an enthusiastic bunch of car nuts that love our SSR's,nicknamed,"R's"etc. Sounds like the wife might have a problem with hubby wanting dibs ,he sounds pretty excited to me! Have fun and drive safely always>>>>> Hal

PS: I see Ray(FLASSH) has apprised you of this coming June's Big ssr fanatic event in Penticton,it's a real blast,especially with all the SSR's and their custodians coming from all over Canada & the USA.Hope your able to attend! Good luck with your new family member and happy to have you with us!!

[tickledpink]

We have some Northwest events up our sleeves and some open times as well for people to jump in and host an idea so we can all get together and DRIVE - I might suggest you NOT give the SSR to your wife until you check it out first - In my opinion, YOU WILL NEVER GET TO BE BEHIND THE WHEEL when she gets a taste of the incredible enjoyment!!!! The privilege to drive occasionally may cost you lots of trips to High End Jewelry Stores !!! ......and then you STILL HAVE to vacuum and do the dishes !!! - or build a new house !! (ask Ray!)

[BlueStreak]

Another WELCOME from Southern California. You should plan on a visit so we can show you how the Fanatics in this area party. I am sure you will get a good review if you talk with turnheadz. Just give us a bit of advanced notice.

Welcome to the club! I put the Eibach springs only on the back and it helped to level out the car better. I also added a set of MPD running boards and an MPD rear spoiler, and will soon install the MPD front spoiler. Just type in MPD spoiler in the search area and you will find lots of info.

Where did you find your SSR? What equipment does it have?

Hope to see you at one of the NW events!

[tickledpink]

Just so you know, Don just retired so he and wife Gwen can join in the events in the NW SSRs, AND BlueStreak is coming all the way to Penticton in June, and back again for the NW SSR FANTASTICs exclusive presentation at the Monroe Evergreen Speedway, August 7th !!!

I promise, the group just grows on you !

Aaaah, the one from Riddle, Oregon! Saw the ad---
"What is red, has 6 gears, power convertible top, no room for kids or pets,
and the most fun you can have on 4 wheels?"

Hi and welcome from Kamloops (formerly from White Rock).
If you want to check out and confirm your options you can check it out here.

Build Sheet Requests

I imagine if your wife wanted the 6 speed she will also like a supercharger and a gear swap!
(Not that you would care as you won't be driving it!)

A big welcome from Michigan!!!
