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!

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.
