awesome!, sounds like a plan though I wont be back till maybe April....Did you ever take your car on the track with the 16g?
Not with a decent tune no. And April will be a great time to come. I think all the tracks should be opened up by then, so we can get some good racing in. 1/4 mile track is about an hr or so away, 1/8th track is about 45 mins away (from me that is). And the Road Course/Time Attack track is about 10 mins away.

O I am down for some racing no doubt that sounds great. Hopefully withing a month or two ill have the car running on the 16g funds allowing though...hardest part would be getting my car up there since we take mama's camry every time....(16g 2az camry...wat?!?! lol).
Imma start checking into when my spring break is....
and save money for plenty of dvd-r's for the camera, lol

You guys helped lol. The topics that lead the threads now are just different than what was before it.
It's hard to explain, but a few years back the main threads were about people's theories on trying something new, or someone that took apart a major component or electronic piece trying to figure out how it worked.
Now the topics are more based on mainstream product, what's on sale, what makes the car faster etc.
It's not a bad thing, it's just a change. I've always been a technical person and really liked/missed some of the old discussions because it was fun to voice your opinion. Sometimes I wish I still had a tC so I could theorize on some new projects. When Scion comes out with a true RWD car you'll probably see me with one in the shop lol.

We'll see how time prevails. I should be competing professionally in Nationals with my Mazda in the next 12 months. If I have a successful season I may stay with the platform but who knows.
Maybe I'll own both. I'm selling my GSX right now so I think I could swing a second car again when I want to.
Either way, back on topic yes?
