New Member out of VA
« on: December 21, 2009, 07:33:19 PM »
Well, hello all. Not sure what to say. I'm just looking to find some locals in the VA area that are Kappa fans. I've been unable to locate a car club in the area. I've been to a few Solstice group events, but there isn't much else going on that I can find.  :idk: Anyway, looking to see what is here.  I own a 2008 GXP. I put on (the first set I think) of Konig Afterburners right after I got the car. I recently received my Solo Performance RCD and downpipe; havent installed yet. In the spring, I plan on installing the exhaust and adding a tune. My goal is to hit 300+ at the ground; as this is my daily driver.

Welcome and enjoy your stay in best kappa forum.

To locate member of this forum there is a Member Map very helpful for what you need.

300 hp at the wheels with a tune and exhaust depends only on the dyno :)

BlackSunShine, all I can tell you is, that you certainly joined the right forum if you plan on adding performance mods and or, you enjoy autocross or track events!  The owner and head gearhead, DeepBlueGXP built this forum around performance relating to the Kappa's.  Since you are new to the forum, I would advise reviewing the venues and threads that have to do with performance.  You may then find an answer.  If you can't find an answer, just ask, one will come!  People here love their Kappa's.  Thanks for joining us.

Hello BSS - Welcome aboard. GXPsy Rose and I are located just N of Richmond, not too far from the I95-I295 interchange. Feel free to stop by anytime you want to compare notes. We're both gearheads and have modded GXPs. Hers is an 08 roadster, mine is an 09 coupe.
Go N.A.K.3.D..

Welcome BSS,

One problem I see for you is finding anybody in the VA or MD area.  I don't think we have any members in that area.

Oh wait, I have that backwards, 85% of our members are from that area!

Welcome aboard.

1 lil ndn,

I moved FROM the east coast!  I am not sure I would ever want to move back!
The snow and hurricanes and all are nice once in a while i guess, but top down fun in the sun 350 days a year?  Not to mention the OTHER reasons to live here...  just means I have to fly to MMM each year...

Welcome, check the member map.  There is a lot going on around the No. VA, DC, MD and there is a lot of Kappas here.  3 in my driveway alone.   

To let the cat out of the bag, the next Mod Meet will be April 23-25.  A thread is being drafted and will be up shortly.    Hope to see you around.

Joe
