Maybe it's cause of your porting... I didn't think about that. Were you boost creeping at all? Don't forget to bring a USB thumb drive, last time I forgot mine

Stupid me, just backed out of the garage and grazed my rear quarter panel (tight fit in new garage). My paint needs some TLC anyway, good excuse to re paint the whole car. The new setup has a cam and heads on it

Mike, It might be the porting. When I had the streetport, it would pull pretty hard and hold it to 8k also. This new motor is tuned to 8.5k.

That sucks man, I know exactly what you are talking about, I rubbed my front driver fender on my garage the other day.. just left white marks though and i was able to buff them out.

I will be sure to take my external hard drive with me up to his shop.

Man thats a Generic JDM MAD TYTE RSX tow hook from ebay $9.99 plus 9 shipping. I had some steel brackets and so happens the angle of the bracket bolts on the factory frame hole under the oem hook bends around the bumper and in attaches the hook. Clears everything no cutting or trimming bolts on and off in less than 2 mins.

Registered. I usually run Black with SpeedVentures but I thought there was a Mazda group this time or something. My registration shows Blue 2. Anyone know?

Black slot probably filled up , I though it was a mazda event only but when speed ventures showed the attendees roster it showed, corvettes,skylines, lotus, etc...

I just hope when we show up we get to pick our garage mates and they dont hand off all the spaces in random areas.

If you are coming from the 15south from murrieta down, we will meet at california oaks exit theres a 7 eleven there and a circle K.
Be there at 5:45 am to roll out.

I'll be picking up 15N at 91, coming from Irvine. I am not getting a garage at the moment but will be towing, have EZ Up, etc. I sent SV a note to find out about run groups and garage assignment logic. I will post what I receive back.

I was just at Auto Club with NASA last weekend and am looking forward to going back.

Whoever posted about having to point by everyone because of your 140 HP FC... you'd be surprised. Regardless, it is a lot of fun and that's what this is all about.

Henry only points them by on the Roval anyway, he catches up everywhere else.
