We will be serving pizza and drinks.  Come on out and meet other sports car enthusiasts -  we mostly expect Lotus.  We expect to start the fun at around 10am.  The AP seminar will begin promptly at 11am.  The Toyo seminar is expected to begin at 12:30pm.  We are also likely to take a fun drive afterwards....

Shinoo would I still benefit if I don't have the AP brakes but the willwoods?  Regarding the Toyo R888's, how do they compare in price to the AO-48's.
Cheersâ?¢

[shinoo]

Definately.  The AP engineer will be talking about brake technology and open to any questions you have.  R888s are competitive with A048s - price wise with potentially more life.  My rear A048s lasted less than 4k miles - of course I did enjoy them thoroughly at Hallet -

Aw, I wish I could make it...I have a conflicting appointment that day.  Maybe I can reschedule so I can attend.

You've not left a space after 'order....' so it's been included with your email address and could cause you to miss any messages.

I assume that it should be shinoo@sector111.com for the RSVPs

In the UK the R888s are about half the price.... is it not the same there? My A048s have only lasted 1400 miles!

If you can post any info you learn about the R888s here afterwards that'd be appreciated, particularly their thoughts on using the Super soft SG compound on light weight cars.

I wish I could attend this event, but I'm not in your area.  What I'd like to know is - how do the 888's compare to the softest compound A048's, are they softer, harder...+?

[rfmarz@frontiernet]

Shinoo, I wish I could be thee too!- Too far to commute.

[shinoo]

Bump!  Less than 2 weeks away.....let me know if you are planning on attending.

[Mr.Woolery]

Yes, I plan to be there.

[fiestycolumbian]

I will be there as well. Looking forward to meeting you Shinoo.

I will be there is my alarm clock works this time.   I take it we should drive our Atoms to this event? Cross your fingers for good weather.
Cheersâ?¢

[shinoo]

Excellent.  I look forward to seeing all y'all.  I think Calscot is going to make it as well.
