Meh

I got out of the hospital for the weekend. There's only one week left to go. For now I have to cram as much good food down my throught as possible. I've lost five pounds eating, or a lack there of that crap food they've been giving me. At least king crab is on the menu tomorrow.
 
I'm sad no Contours are coming to Gainesville tomorrow.

Goumba- I'm going to be in need of some new tires soon. I want performance that will be OK day to day (no Star Specs, I need tires that will be OK in the rain). I only drive 8,000 or so miles a year (say 2-3 track days a year) so tread wear isn't of top priority. Where are the deals? I missed the RS2 close out.
 
I'm signed up for an event kind of like gainsville in febuary. I don't think that the star specs are that bad in the rain for the first half of their life. I'm using hankook v12's right now and they're excellent in the rain. They aren't as fast as star specs or equivelent tires, but the price is right.
 
Do you mean the SE section of CEG or do you mean car traffic in Tampa area. :D

As for SE-CEG, its always up and down...really never too active.
 
I meant traffic in the SE section. But now that I think of it, ceg doesn't seem to be getting the participation it once did not so long ago. To be honest, I'm not suprised.
 
This used to be the place to be back in the day; 3-4 meets a year. Then I got a Mazdaspeed 6 and it was all over. Since then, things have went downhill. :(
 
Ryanblacksvt is gone. He was the king of postwhores! Some of the old timers are still around. We just read more & post less. We do need to have a meet. Eric Couldn't keep that mazda running & he is taking forever on the Toy!!!! I'd have to hang a plumb bob from his ass to see if he is moving on this project.
 
Problem was the Mazda ran too good and ate tires/brakes/clutches like they were hot and fresh Krispy Kremes!! :( And I am making progress! :P I've just lost two jobs this year lol!
 
I put a shiny new header on my sentra today. The car now makes a bunch more power than I expected it to. Unfortunatly it isn't any faster. I know why, but can anyone else guess why?
 
Every time I try and go fast now I smell slipping clutch. I can't even dyno my car to see how much power all my mods thus far add up to. My official guesstimate is 168hp/178tq. When I get my new clutch and flywheel we'll see.
 
I <3 Mugen. Got 8 brand new GPs sitting in my garage. All are for sale if you know anyone. 17lb 18x7.5. They are gorgeous! Come with lug nuts, valve stems, center caps, and misc. documentation. Normally $700 each :shocked: (not selling them for that). I want to keep a set but I'm hoping after selling both sets I can get a different set of wheels with tires without anything out of pocket.

Yeah that. They were basically half price. They will fund Konis, Swift springs, and another set of wheels/tires when they sell.
