Like I mentioned in the May thread, the TII won't be running in the AutoX, probably won't even make it down there for the event but we'll be there. Looks like the shortbus will be there again. :) As far as the BBQ goes, I'll be leaving somewhere between the 25th and the 30th of June for 4 months. So if you want to do a BBQ then the weekend of the 18th and 19th would be the last available time. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Zach

P.S. And to anyone wondering why the TII will be absent again, I have a tentative buyer for the engine so I don't think it would be fair to go out and race with it if someone is going to buy it. I know I wouldn't be happy if it happened to me. I might drive it and just sit out there with it though. We'll just see what happens.

I'm in, this should be the final public appearance for my supercharged FC, before it goes under the knife yet again for a turbo conversion. By this time the car should be fully tuned and as good as it's going to get. I'd like to see how it can compete against other cars before I take it apart.

guess this means that I'll be there on the 11th :)

Hey Jake,

you do realize that Zach is the only one leaving and that I will still be in California. I may show up to some meets in his absence. Who all is planning on running in this one?


Berry

first 4 listed should be running, Kiaba has been there for the first 2, Bob i assume will be there, Kenji was at the first 2 with his crew and a couple others i am forgetting.

well, if I'm still in Sacramento I'll go, don't know forsure.

Hey Ben, I think my cat is really clogged, right before the car boosts it makes that weird noise. I've still got about 300 miles left on the break in.
-Bert

goddamnit....I think I blew my rear left strut. I saw a set of them for the rear @ 160 + 15 shipping. but still...pisses me off. I went for some spirted driving aorund grassvalley and my frieds decided to take the shittiest possible road home...straightaway for like 3 miles so they floor it and i keep up but the road gets soo rough all of a sudden...100mph + pothole = :mad:

you're lucky you didn't bend a rim.
-Bert

that sounds yucky nick


Anyways Berry I wasn't sure if you were going with him or not, but good to hear at least one of you will still be around to keep in touch.

Well since you (Zach) can make it to the auto X we don't have to have a BBQ but if you guys want to that's fine with me. I say June 19th we could have a BBQ somewhere in the Sac region as a going away party/NorCal7's meet for Zach. What do you all think?

My rx7 is not working OK to show up in a wrx?

Yes For sure, as long as you come say hi lol

sounds good to me Jake

Nick, a suggestion but could be a little late but this is for anyone and their cars with adjustable struts. when not on the track it is a good idea to turn down the stiffness settings on the struts so they don't have to work as hard, it only takes one good bump to pop a strut when they are set too stiff. you can buy just one strut too ya know.... :p:

Bert, let me know when you have time to come up and i will throw this exhaust on your car.

Bert got exhaust? or just stock? Ah i need tires and springs before the 11th! Probly just get tires though. So that makes two that are up for the BBQ anyone else?

he has stock exhaust and so do i but mine i know for sure is toast so i am going to punch out the cats and put it on his car to see if the turbo gets over it's sickness.

hmmm, I think I might be able to swing by after work one of these days. But most likely toward the end of the week. or I might just order some test pipes. in fact think I'll look at them right now.

might want to look at a resonator for the main cat replacement, with test pipes all the way front to back it will probably be a bit loud even with the stock restrictive mufflers, i know you aren't a fan of loud exhausts. :p:

see what I get for being too lazy to set the stiffness? err wait...actually I was kinda on the track. Mountain driving :) It was so fun, especially since I know my car handles better. I underestimated it before autocross. I love this though, my dad is giving me crap about "you see I told you your car wasn't reliable" ..i just told him I hit a pothole @ 60....didn't want to tell him I was going 100 ><;

it could just be a bushing that gave out, my rear sway bar bushing are on their way out too which is why i got the poly kit.

uhh...I'll show you tomorrow if you have time then..if I can save myself the money that would be awsome :) Just driving it is really...ah I don't want to mess anything else up. It sounds bad...and now that I think about how it looks I think that a bushing of bolt gave.
