Kojak Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Saw three Baja’s in one week in Oaktown last week- first slammed w huge exhaust, second had a camper shell, last one super stock. And a guy walked into a pole checking out the back of my wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasabi Mami Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hi all, new GT owner here. Excuse the off thread inquiry, but I'm looking for suggestions on good shops/tuners in the bay area to help with my build. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmie415 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hi all, new GT owner here. Excuse the off thread inquiry, but I'm looking for suggestions on good shops/tuners in the bay area to help with my build. Thanks No first hand knowledge but through some racers in the SCCA paddock I have heard good things about this shop over in Hayward: https://gstmotorsports.com/home/ Good luck with your build and enjoy your GT Wasabi Mami, -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasabi Mami Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Anybody here ever do track days? I've done Sonoma, Thunder hill is tomorrow and Laguna Seca next week. I love it, but ddddamn$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf05mt Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Wasabi - if you know what parts you want to put on, give Elite Performance in Burlingame a call. I've had them help with a lot of stuff on my 05 LGT, but their resident Subi expert isn't there, so you just need to know what to put on, but I've had great luck with them. Lots of my co-workers with 86s and S2Ks go there too. They are also well connected with folks who run track days (mostly at Buttonwillow - I think... I've got too many young kids to be able to escape for the weekend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf05mt Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 FWIW I've spoken to Ed at EQ (mentioned above) about engine stuff and he sure seems to know what he is talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasabi Mami Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Thanks for the advice guys, I'll be testing it out this week! I lost boost today at thunderhill. Poof! Everything sounds and feels fine, turbo spooling etc. Just no push and access port says no boost. Got check engine light on solid and cruise is flashing/non-functional. And I've got to be at Laguna on Friday! Ralitek to the rescue, rush delivery on that grimspeed IC I've been eyeing. No clue if that'll solve it and I've gotta hustle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hey wasabi I used to track a lot but haven’t lately due to kids lol. Are you on the stock tmic? “The Shop” is a popular general Japanese car shop in San Bruno, the owner used to have a modded up maxima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasabi Mami Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Hey wpmarky, yes, I'm still on the old tmic. Got a grimspeed one coming. Was planning to use a smoke machine this afternoon but... Disaster! She started smoking badly, stalling at idle. GD! My AP gave me the POO11 code, avcs error. I cleared it but that's when the smoking and stalling showed up.

wpmarky Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Oh no, smoking sounds like more than a popped TMIC. Hope it's anything other than the motor! Good luck to ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moddingbug Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Spotted this wagon earlier today in SJ. Gold BBS, Wilwood BBK up front. Too bad I wasn't in my wagon to say hi. Anyone know the owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojak Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Thread revival bump. Saw my twin wagon last December. And a black wagon in my neighborhood park. Next day said wagon was behind me when I rolled out. Exchanged dubs. Seldom seen nowadays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
