Depends what mood I am in on whether or not I want to join a club. Sometimes I really want to and sometimes I say the political crap is not worth it.

Ok, here is my feelings on clubs...A club would have to be like a TEAM. Meaning that everyone works together. Clubs get too political a lot of the times. I know this will sound gay but here it goes anyway, You know how it was in F&F? The way those guys hung and worked together? That is what a club / team should be. Not this crap that you see with every other club around here. You got Redline who is a big club but there is nothing but bickering between their members...hence, they split in two. You got clubs like HIRCC that are nation wide and the leader can not even keep track of what is going on in all the other states. I think you also need to ask yourself...."why join a club?" If I was to ever join a club it would be because I found a club that worked as a team and helped eachother out. Not cause I wanted to be part of a club so I just joined the first one to come along. I have looked at local clubs on and off for a couple of years now and I have not found one that has even come close to meeting my standards.

Here is a few things I think a Team/club should do together:
~Hang out in general and be close.
~Have work days, detail days, and so on
~Be willing to help eachother out when needed
~Don't be mixed into politics! I work for the governtment and I HATE politcis. I don't want to deal with is after work on my recreation time too.
~Go out cruising and driving. I don't mean acting stupid. I just mean go for cruises and roll together. to meets and what not.
~The most important items.......BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!

Well, that is my take on clubs. Lets here yours now.

wuddup guys. well with btek, all the members were just a group of friends. then we decided to just give ourselfs a name. first year out, we let anyone that wanted to join join. thats where the big mistake was. now were smaller but stronger since the members left are really good friends and we all hang out and chiet. but being in a clubs does have benefits. such as everyone has input and helps you out on each others cars. and when others in the team wins a trophy we all feel good about it.

well anyways, just wanted to see if anyone was interested in a dc sports rear lower brace. anodized red and brand new with plastic wrapper. price is $119. part number HTB3008R. no pics, just check he dc sports website.

So how do you like TopNotch? are they a good club or what?


As for the motor mounts are you talking about replacing your stock motor mount bushings to urethane

Top Notch would be cool if they went to all sport compacts and lost the mullet rides I think. They need to improve their website too. They are new though right? So they are off to a good start?

And tell us more about the engine mounts!

Well with the motor mounts i took a tip from brad (xceedspeed) and i also saw this in sport compact car. you get this stuff called 3m window weld. Its basicly liquid urethane and dries real hard (like the urethane mounts you would buy)

That's what I figured. He told me about that a few times. Does it actually work though?

The Urethane mounts are stiffer and giver your engine less play. Better off the line too supposely.
