Almost time! Got some questions

4 days and counting until departure for the right coast!
So, anyone need anything New Mexican? Got some extra space and am willing to play courier.
Anyone need brakes? One of our club members (Gandini) upgraded to BBK and gave me the leftovers from his 05 S. I have front rotors, frt and rear calipers (frts have Hawk HPS pads, rears have EBC Green -I think- have to check), OE brake lines too. If you need them, I can bring them. These would be free, as that's how I got them. Priority goes to someone in dire need and low on fundage. The box is very heavy, so if I don't hear that anyone wants them, I'll leave them here.
Anyplace in NoVA sell Piloti shoes? I've got a strong desire to get some, but really need to try them on first.
Long shot, but anyone up for a mid-week trip to Helix? I've got an appointment Weds 7/11 to get pulley/ sway bar/ GIAC flash.

That's all I can think of for now; I'm sure there will be more!

Well, I know I don't need brakes, and a trip to Helix would be a bit tough for me, but hope your trip out is safe and enjoyable. See ya on the 14th.

Welcome to the east.

Would love to join your trip to Helix, but my appointment over there is on the 12th, for my new science project.

Don't forget to join us for the next event to come.

OG Racing in Sterling, VA sells them. That's where I got mine. They are extremely comfortable.

Thanks all. Really looking forward to seeing green again.
Commander, muchos gracias for the link; just what I was looking for!
The platform, Eric quoted me $350 (I think, might have been $325) for the GIAC flash. Takes about an hour and is tailored to the mods on your car.
Well, tailored might be stretching it a bit; more like off-the-rack in your size.
Not as refined as the LDG tune, but also less expensive. (Why is it that every time I hear about the LDG tune, the price is higher than the last? I just got quoted $500 for the flash-only tune; seems the last I heard it was $400?)
