a93x Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 ^ start saving now! It shouldn't be much in gas. Or you can ride shotgun with someone! It's gonna be HUGE. With just the Portland crew alone last summer we had 52 cars come to the beach.

Its not cheap, but works much better than the Grimmspeed version which can hydro lock. Also look into infamous' turbo oil line kit.

Spun a bearing on #3. piston over extended and slapped the head. throwing a new ej25 in it. The crawford aos is a very nice system! I've looked into it and will consider it for the next vehicle. dont think Ill be putting any more money in this if I can help it torque impresses girrls, hp impresses flat-bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteGirl Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Yeah well I guess I may be staying down south for a day or so with my girl...

rootrider Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Getting to the point, I'd rather drive in the rain than not at all. Well.. I went and bought Ecsta XS tires, which just can't get sticky on a cold & wet track (my two track days so far were wet or damp in 33-38F weather). I am very much looking forward to a dry and warmer day to really test them out. I need to save up some money for various things right now anyway (including both of my cars), so it's a useful excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're thinking just over night anyone bout to party down that way afterwards, and have a hotel suggestion maybe? in seaside? No I will have to drive back, work monday. But I think the best western is the one right on the promenade over looking the beach. Otherwise Google seaside hotels and look whats closest to downtown. It's a pretty cool little town to hang in.

Miata - overabundant lateral grip, not enough power. At one point while waiting for the engine to wind out to the next shift point, I had my elbow out the window watching the scenery go by. It was interesting to hit redline in 5th gear and hold it there waiting for the next turn. The gr Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
