Competition Orange u still got those rims? I am in Cbus also, looking for a set of 18's that fit over the big brake kit on the PP, want 18" to run at mid-ohio, the 19" are just too big and heavy.

Anyone ever do a cbus/central Ohio meet up? Seem to be enough S550 owners around.

jfurg, I did my own exhaust work, use ramps for the front of the car and I jacked up rear, easy peasy. IF still need the work done, and you want help, happy to give you a hand, save you some cash.

We had a Spring meetup:

The weather didn't cooperate and a Fall meetup is definitely an option.

I'm tagging [MENTION=1]Jarstang[/MENTION] to make sure he'd be okay with a makeup date.

I'm thinking September 24th for our makeup date since we got snowed on the first time.

Yep, still have them. I just got done with a weekend at Mid Ohio. So much fun.

Headed back to Ohio for the Indycar/Pirelli race at Mid-Ohio this coming weekend. I kinda miss the Buckeye state. It has been upper 90's for the past 3 weeks here.

I never got a chance to run any car at Mid-Ohio, but I'm at least doing a track day down here in Houston in September.

Competition Orange hell I saw you there then! I was there also yesterday. Wasn't racing, my son was taking a teen driving class. Saw you and that white 911 racing back and forth. I stopped by ur ride in the paddock area to look to see what wheels tires you were running since I will be bringing my stang up there for a course. I so dont want to run the 19" wheels, too heavy, 18" would be so much better, but need to clear the PP brakes. Looked at your car to get ideas:-)

strengthrehab its been Texas hot here the last week. Yesterday in the sun sucked at the course. I kept sneaking off to get in the air conditioning and jug a bottle of water. I was going to go the Honda Indy 200 or whatever they call it also this weekend.

COOL! Yep, it was a new 991 generation 911 GT3. He and I had been going at it all weekend, with me putting the distance on him all but his last session of Sunday. He struggled in the turns, where I was pretty decent, and he pulled bus lengths on the straights. A couple of times I thought I was going to rear end him because I closed the gaps so fast in the turns LOL. He finally got a few decent turns in a row, and I had to let him by, and his straight line speed was enough to let him go bye bye.

I don't plan on selling the wheels honestly. I put them up because there was a used set of the same wheels in 18x11 vs my 18x10, seeing if a quick local sale could be made. I purchased them on this forum with the tires, and love the wheels, and the tires are fine, just cheap sumitomo htrz3 summers.

I'll be getting a set of apex 18x10s most likely, or MAYBE a set of the new 18x11 CF5 forgestars if I feel like blowing some money on an extra inch Pairing them with Nitto NT01s if I go 18x10s or potentially Rival S if I go the wider CF5s.

If you can get infield parking, then the gt350 will be ok. Otherwise you're parking in a field.
