notice to all Japfest 2008 attendees
If you have been wondering why your tickets have not arrived in the post it's because I have not mailed them yet. Sorry about this, I know I said I would mail them last weekend but my new job has required me to get up at 5:00am and back home around 9:00pm so just havent had the time. I packed up everything last night and will put them in the post today. So if you dont get your tickets and passes by Tuesday please let me know.

THANKS TO... madmarco
A slight roll would have no risk of cracking the paint. Archenemy will say it's a 50/50 chance dependent on filler and the age and condition of the paint. I lost a couple of small chips on the far side edge, but I had him pull the arch pretty far out as I plan to correct the rear camber soon and mine is real low. Yours would need a very slight roll so should have no problem. They clean the area really well before begining the roll and use a sealant on the inner wing afterwords so no rust should occur. There is no denying the wing will be weaker after the roll, the stock wing has an inner lip that is 90 degrees to the outer surface. This lip provides a great deal of rigidity to the wing but also is the first spot to rub on the tyres. During the roll this lip is rolled flat to the inner wing and the entire wing is pulled outwards to the requested ammount. Here's a couple of better pictures of mine to give you an idea of the end result. BEFORE - AFTER - INNER LIP DETAIL - this looks pretty bad, but is only noticible if you get down on the ground and look upwards. I will use some touch up paint to seal it and start saving for a planned repray.

arch rolling session
Everything went well today. Three Zeds and a Skyline had their arches significantly streched. Gumball's was the biggest challenge as he got a pretty extreme roll on the front to clear his new wheels. All the cars came out nice although Gumball lost a little filler and the Skyline got a bit rippled on the nearside. Absolutely perfect sunny day, I think we all got sunburned watching the guy work!

Club Banner suggestion ?
I know I'm walking a fine line here and no disrespect intended, but which events? This is the current list of events for 2008, the only one It looks like the club is spending any money on is JAE. It seems like a very reasonable request for each region to have it's own banner.
