I've exchanged some PMs with Jonsey about getting together Aug. 16. Any other Saleens want to join us? I'm thinking we'd meet in Manhattan Beach and do a cruise up and around Palos Verdes. Very low key. We did this 2 summers ago and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

I'm assuming you have an '05-'09? If so, the new Extremes run 305s on the stock Saleen 10" (upgraded) rear wheels. I think Saleen uses 305/35/20 tires. I know you can get PS2s in that size. Note, though, that 305s will NOT work on the 9" front/non-upgraded rear wheels. I think 315s...

Precisely. Its either a balance problem or an issue with tire wear (which is not likely, if you have very low mileage). I just drove another owner's '06 S281SC this weekend and neither of our cars had any sort of steering wheel shake issues. I've read a few owners complain about steering...

Whether to buy new or used is a personal decision. There are usually a good number of very, very low mileage used Saleens available on Ebay at any given time. I would try to get the 3.73 gears, even if you don't get the Maxgrip differential. Although I'm not sure Saleen will let you order...

From my experience with my '06 SC, and from talking to fellow '05-'08 owners, I would recommend you look for the following on an '05: Before You Buy (especially if the 3-year/36k mi warranty has run) -- 1. Check the headrests for warping (a problem with the '05s only) 2. Closely inspect...

Anyone know why they changed from Brembos to Stoptech after '05???

Just confirmed my friend will also be coming down with his '89 white hatchback.

Edge -- I think you said you were getting into Redondo Beach this week. Does that mean you'll be at the Cars and Coffee meet this Saturday morning, when the show will be featuring Saleen? If so, you couldn't have timed your honeymoon any better. Any of you OC guys going (Marcus, Rob...

2.9 seconds? Is that all you got, Rob??? :D Here is a shot of mine, parked next to my old-school-weekend-beach-cruiser-beater (I figure, between the two of those rides, I might have as much horsepower as Rob's 351R):

A shameless, self-gratifying pic and then the money shot (Marcus's ride on the PCH) --

Two more:

More pics (I can only attach 2 per post) --

Hey Rob, Ask and you shall receive. Attached below are some pix I took. Thanks to Larry, Marcus, and Rob for bringing out their beautiful rides. Your Saleen's -- along with Stan's clean, original paint '89 -- really grabbed folks' attention. And when I explained to some of the "younger"...

So the plan is still to meet in the lot just North of Uncle Bill's Pancake House (see below). If you would like to have breakfast with us, please get there at 7:30am. We will likely hit the road around 8:45am and do a loop north up to the Marina and back (about 30 minutes max). Marcus...

Hey Marcus, I'd definitely like your input on where to go (especially up in PV). PM me or email me at [email protected] with what you're thinking of for a route. I'd like to prepare printed directions tonight for everyone to have in hand during the cruise. Also, I just...

I've had my car for about 11 months and I just heard a similar noise once about two weeks ago when it was pretty hot outside (80+ degrees) and the air temp guage got up to around 150 degrees (about 25 degrees higher than where it normally sits). When I parked the car, I turned off the engine...

A quick update: The plan is to meet between 7:30am-8am, on Sunday, July 22, in the parking lot immediately north of Uncle Bill's Pancake House, 1305 Highland Ave, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266. The lot is small, and fills up on weekends, so an early arrival is suggested. There is street parking...

Great! I think the plan is to park in the small lot immediately next to (and north of) Unlce Bill's Pancake House between 7:30-8:00 a.m. on Sunday, the 22nd. I will post more details as we get them. In addition to the "regular", modded S197s in the group, we should have about a 1/2 dozen...

A few Mustangs (about 20 so far) will be meeting up the morning of July 22nd to grab some breakfast in Manhattan Beach and go for a cruise through the South Bay. This should be a fairly low-key affair. It would be great to see some other Saleens in the group. PM me if you are interested.

+1 Feel free to email me as well if you need any info. Marcus is 10 minutes to your south, I'm 10 minutes to your north.
