Anyway, I wanted to work on my car, do some little things, and wouldn't mind some help in doing so. What you guys think? when was the last meet, and how many attended? Also: What mods were you thinking of?

Sadeeq, Well, nothing to serious... I wanted to remove my door guards, maybe putting in the Mystique rear dome light, installing the Mystique door lights, re-content the glove box light and/or the clock from the 98 Contour, and also wiring the fog lamps so they work as DRLs too... Is that a big enough list for ya!  I don't want to do anything that would void the warranty, eventhough I can see my dealer voiding it for any one of the mods I've listed...

Oh...
Almost forgot to answer your first questions.
The last meet was last year if I remember correctly, down in Portland. Some time early in the Spring. We met in a parking lot across from a brewery were we left for a fun drive, borderline autocross event, which went back to the brewery where we had some drinks and lunch.
There was about 12 ppl there and 10 cars. A good turnout for how spread out our territory is...
Anybody else have any details that I may be forgeting...?

I've gotta work Mon.-Sat. so I'm limited to sundays. I do however have the 9-12th off this month. If you guys meet some other time I need 2 week advanced notice, but would love to get together. No one knows about these cars where I live except an SVT buddy of mine and I can never get anyone to race me.  Except one time a newer galant was waiting for me ina Fred Meyer parking lot and followed me to the highway, then I killed him no problem. that is about it. Anyway, sorry for the long post.
Old - 95.5 SE with lot's of mods.
New - 98 Black SVT with few mods.

Last years meet was at the Portland Brewey. It's a good place to meet, not to hard to get to and has a nice big parking lot.
Maybe this year we could do a dyno day. A good friend of mine has a VW race shop with a dyno. It's right outside Portland. He's always hassleing me about dynoing my car. This might be great chance for all of us to see what our mods are really makeing. I know that my exhuast and intake make at least 40HP (just kidding). Let me know what you guys think.

Sadeeq,
What type of racing is this? Is it 'cone racing' where your timed through a course of orange cones, or where your actually on a race track, whether your racing with others or being timed?
However, I'm not so daring that I would race my car with other ppl on a track, where 'rubbing is racing!' :p
