Call up Dan at Subydude and tell him that Adam and Jeremiah sent you...might mention that you are another of the Humboldt/Del Norte guys He will set you up, especially if someone can pick them up down there with cash.

There is a 95L running around here with 17x9 DPTs...they BARELY fit

oh yea very nice look there! I am getting front brembo's sometime in the near future so I am going to have to stay in the 18" range. If i can sell my Version 8 Sti Front Seats, um I forgot to mention that those are up for sale! $560 picked up! I am getting a set of seats in the near future also (if I can sell these babies).

Hopefully my wife would like to make a day trip and go to target or the mall (since she thinks its silly to meet up with other suby owners by traveling out of town to do so).
Too bad Renee doesn't know my wife very well. They could go do there thing and we could do ours....and you 3 are welcome to stay the night in our small apartment as well!

haha thanks, but I dont think she would go for it. She would instead just stay in a hotel (and even thats a long shot). Also the little girl has a pet allergy which triggers her asthma and most our friends have pets anyways.

FYI You do not need 18" wheels for Brembos, at least not with most 17x8" and wider wheels. If you like the 18" I understand, but the 17" gives more sidewall

What seats are you looking at?

I know that there were some 17" wheels that would fit with brembo's but I liked the look of the Tarmac's 2's (the 17x7.5 tarmacs wouldnt fit with brembo's so I went up to 18") and grids (which I am considering getting in 18x9.5) they are not super expensive but rather affordable. I have a Rally Vendor in Canada that I get my stuff from, and they goofed my order this time. Im getting 2 sets of STi Version 7's, I already have 1 rear seat portion I just need to sell these front Ver. 8 seats to put in the order for the set of seats and brembo's.

This is a proposed cruise that I haven't taken yet.

The first is a good, short cruise that I have taken many times.

The second is very similar to one I posted a couple weeks back...the difference being, I would skip the Ferndale to Honeydew section (the Wildcat road). It is a really nice drive, but it is VERY rough, and a lot of the folks out there do not like to share their road.

From 101 to Honeydew, then over towards Shelter Cove...maybe a detour to the beach for a photo op/break, then back to Redway or Garberville would be better.

Good call on the rough road. We need to get some people and do this. I would like to see 10 cars. I think that would be awesome.

10 cars is a stretch. I'd be happy with 5 or 6. I'd even say 8 if you count the non-subies.

If we go for the second cruise that makes its way out towards the Lost Coast I'd prefer to start in the late morning and break for foods when we get to the coast off Lighthouse Road (just past Petrolia) or at Shelter Cove if we come in through Garberville. The views are spectacular and driving any of those roads at night is not something I look forward to doing.
