Re: February 23rd Norcal GTG!

So, in the process of putting in my new drop suspension I found that the car already has a Prokit 1" drop installed... I guess the old owner left the car BONE stock except for a 1" drop. Wow, so anyone want to buy the drop springs?

On a bad not, I tore a brake line putting in the suspension. Going to be cutting it close this weekend.

Re: February 23rd Norcal GTG!

Weather is nice up in Chico, so I am going to assume Grass Valley will have some nice... Not sure at this point how many people are coming... I know there will be at least 2 thirdgens!

I am going to be leaving in 2 hours, so I figured I would give this a final bump.

Re: February 23rd Norcal GTG!

Had a great time meeting you Tim and Anthony, and nice seeing you again John.

So I ended up staying the night and hitting the pick n' pull in the morning. Well, a supercharged 350z wanted to play a bit, so we ran them a few times and I pulled on him straight off the line, then he would start pulling top end. As soon as he would shift I would start pulling again, we were doing 2-3 gear runs. I would say I ended up 1-1.5 cars ahead. Too bad I didn't get a chance to show him 1st. Audrey and I had a blast!

Good meeting you too Aaron and Audrey. Also good to see John and Vaughn. Hope you made it to work on time vaughn.

did you find anything good at pick n pull?

next time i'll bring my car. i figured with such a little turnout what is one more car gonna do. save the gas money and put that towards fixing the car up more.

anyway lets get the next event planned. track day grudge night I know Aaron can't make it but im sure others will...

Re: February 23rd Norcal GTG!

Ha i made it just on time. Pretty freaked out about leaving the t tops off and hitting high speeds. I was getting thrown around by the wind.
I had a good time though. Great ride.
