FCs in Orange County?
Yeah
didn't see u there either socal wanted to meet you
btw i didn't know andy was into driving at gmr, did you ever run him james you kept on saying you were going to but i never stayed long enough to hear your final decision. You were both on bald tires so it'd be a pretty fair match
lol

I owe you 2 a days worth of labor , just for starters. Thanks hommies!

Yeah i'd like to see andy race nismo
near stock s5 vs heavily modified s4 TII
yeah andrew i had bald tires, i'll be running this friday with my bald tires also, like always. oh yeah, james said my brakes weren't that good, so i guess i'll be running on whatever brakes also.
now now, i said u need to upgrade them brakes
cuz they are worst performing components of ur car =)
but yeah, it seems as this would be interesting,
cuz nismo's t2 is also equipped with coilovers
but he has r compounds and he's boostin....
can Andy make a name for him self???
that's a question, whatsoever my respect goes to both of u

lol i didn't catch that one mike. Oh yeah nismo weren't you at buttonwillow recently? http://www26.brinkster.com/vertexspirit/P1010459.JPGI was wondering who's GTUs was that? It looks familliar. Any mods done to it, how did you fair up against it? Thanks
-Andrew
Ah, that was at California Speedway, we were at an SCCA Solo2 event that weekend (right before buttonwillow)
The GTUs is my friend Russells, I think his handle on here is Russ93FD? Its pretty extensively modded with AWR built subframes which are fully welded and have every stock bushing replaced with bearings, JRZ triple adjustable shocks/external resv. etc etc and now has a 6pt cage. Its also using RA1s same as mine but using a wider 255 rear.
We did pretty well at the events and put on a strong show for FC's. At the time of the autox, I had the entire stock turboback assembly (every stock cat) and was putting down near exact stock power levels (hahaha) so we were pretty even and we were within a second of each other for best lap times. Luckily we beat most of the street prepped cars including S2000s and new model STis putting down way more power. At the track event, they purposely kept splitting us up and we only got a lap or two in at the end of the day but I went off course which killed that preliminarly. I did get to mix it up a few laps with the red and black S2000 on the cover of some magazine this month and i was able to continuously draw him in but I think he was having problems with his turbo setup. The car and driver (GTUs) are exceptional and they usually show up to GMR in a white S2000 with CE28s.

Hey James. Couldn't make it last week. Had to go out to Gardena and didn't get home until about 11:00..... I'll try and see all you guys there tomorrow. Can't make any promises though....haha
Watch out for GMR. There's some treacherous turns there... This is what it did to my Corolla.....

heh, I'll be there and bringing some friends. Can anyone spare a ride to a friend of mine from Japan, he's never seen the scene out here and he wants to check it out. A cell phone contact info would be appreciated. What time are we leaving Autobacs?
~10'ish? i think we started driving between 11 and 12
Edit- dang your still online? jeez the meet probably started already lol, i'm probably heading straight to gmr anyways too much driving last time
