I have them on my, I mean, Patty's R32.

R32 Skyline or R32 VW?

The XS seems like a good tire choice. They are cheap and came in 1st for the GRM tire test. I want to know if anyone has experience with this tire. How it responds, what you like about it and don't like about it. I have heard that they are rock hard when they are cold and that their sidewalls are ra...

Do you have an R2? If so I would love to see it!

I would have been all over those stock shocks a few months ago but ended up getting coil overs.

You may try rx7club.com I bet you can get $200 easy for those shocks.

Have any other parts for sale?

If you register you can set it so SEMA will send you legislation alerts for your area. It is good to be on top of that kind of stuff.

The Chula Vista Police Department (and other parts of San Diego) recently received a grant to crack down on street racing. http://www.fox5sandiego.com/pages/landing_latest_news/?Cops-Crack-Down-On-Street-Racers=1&blockID=259725&feedID=2145" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fa...

Jamie- Your mods aren't that big of deal. If you car was stock legal, it probably wouldn't be that competitive anyway. And if it could be you'd probably need the lightest weight expensive wheels and fresh Hoosiers and a lightweight exhaust and uber shocks to be there. Then of course a non-streetabl...

How did I not see that?

Nicole Nagler wrote:I think the original looks better on my screen. I like the deeper colors, makes the cars appear more vibrant. Plus the ground doesn't look washed out as it does on my monitor in the brightened version Mako posted.

Where is the original?

I know nothing about photography but I think it looks great. I don't think it is too light but I think any lighter would be too much... but what do I know? The thing that pops out to me the most in that picture is the huge smile on my face What a great weekend!

I make this on a regular basis. I highly recommend it

KJ, that made my day!

Mike

2 hours short?

I was thinking about it. I don't know if Nathan is working this Sunday. I would share the MR2 with him though. The drive is not bad with company

My car is stock except for an intake, downpipe, coilovers and a mild street port/polish (which happens to put me in a class where I can't compete) It's funny hearing this from people (usually new people). No offense Jamie just making an observation to your comment but it's not stock (i.e. showroom ...

Class question... From the quick ref guide it looks like an engine swap from non-OEM manufacturer might land me in XP but I thought I'd confirm as I'm new to autocross and thought I might fall into CSP or a few more general cases.

Is it fair if I do the Novice school? I have been to 4 (I think?) autocrosses. http://www.sdr-scca.com/solo2/schedule/2009/flyer-2009-05-09.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Go ahead and sign up. Worse they could say is no. I may still try to sign up for the school. It is...

The big concern is now that you feel more comfortable with your car, when are you going to come out again? It's all about seat time ... and if you take a break now, you might lose the confidence that you've built up. Of course you have the San Diego events to go to. Note that some of our more crazy...

BTW: Does anyone know Steves last name and/or has his email. I would like to thank him for helping me drive the FD and giving me a ride in his FC. His instruction cut 3-4 seconds off my time! :gpower: Steve O'Blenes, I believe. I have owned that car for more then 3 years and have never really felt ...

Jamie, I agree about the police and DEA auctions, but I worry that even if you paid under $500 for a nice car that would easily be worth more based on Kelly Blue Book value the race organizers might invoke the BSF rule (Bullshit Factor) for the intrinsic value of the car. If it looks too nice you c...

What a fun weekend! It is very nicely documented as well! I especially love the picture of Nathan, Forest, Eric and I trying to figure out what is wrong with the MR2. I will definitely be picking up some photos :D BTW: Does anyone know Steves last name and/or has his email. I would like to thank him...

I don't want to pull the rotary card here but I think an FC would be something to consider for the race. I know many people with over 300k on their N/A FC's stock engine. I almost got a pretty nice one last year with low mileage for around a gand. $500 for one would not be unbelievable. The big down...

Jamie can't help it ...(She's got nerves of steel however ... check out her Avatar. She raises Tarantulas for tire money! :mrt: I can handle snakes, I've accidently stepped on an alligator before (grew up in rural Florida), I've been bumped in the leg by a shark while surfing in Cocoa Beach, FL (if...

If anyone has run any 2 tires on the list and compare I am sure I am not the only one who would love to hear it. Anyone other then Chad run the new Kumhos?
