fun. I need to be able to afford to get the 85 supra up onto a dyno dynamics and get the engine tuned. She pulled 125whp/147wtq on a dynojet dyno and a stock engine should put down about 130hp to the wheels.

 

I wish I had something else sometimes besides the Fit to drive as well or at least a sunroof for super nice days like we have been having lately.

 

i've been using my wife's yaris to drive around recently due to my cambers needed to be fix and needs alignment, i didnt want to drive the FIT that often...

 

tbh I havn't really been going anywhere the past few weeks. I have been driving the supra a bit more than the fit due to the fit being in the garage and needing to get to the dealer for her vitamins.

 

man, my front tires are almost worn out since i install my megans in. besides i need alignment, i still havent done it yet, but i just couldnt believe how fast it could wear out like that...today was wet and i already felt so fishy tail when i make turns, and camber really bad both front and back, do you guys think if i raise it up a bit would help or just camber bolt kits would do the trick?

 

you need to get an alignment asap. then call around and get it corner balanced. that typically costs around $200 but you would be suprised how well that helps your handling.

 

for right now, i can barely afford 89 bucks for alignment, balancing wise, i think i can wait for bit, since i am not going all hard on the car, just daily driving it, i dont need that right away, not that i know of. alignment def. a first. plus i am in the middle of moving out, so i can barely shell out money for a 200 bucks balance job. but i'll keep that in mind tho.

 

well, alignment is done, toes are back in place, at least for now. raised the ride height to about an inch(i think), the gap now is about 2.5-3 fingers gap. rotated the tires myself, since les schwab wont do it coz they said it's safety issue. that's it for now. i kind of regret that getting coilovers, esp. this brand. now i want showa dampers, either mugen or spoon. but i gonna let it ride for awhile, then i might get rid of it.

is there anyone out there that has a pair of OEM tires that wanna get rid of? all i need is just the pair, or let me know if you have a set for sale, how much and stuff? i'll be needing it before snow hits again. thanks in advance for hooking it up peeps!!

 

any new meets coming up. I've been really busy with overtime, and moving. I'd really like to come to a meet soon. I've been out for over 6 months. I need to do some driving.

 

I want some showa dampers to for my GE8 just saving up now.

Their is going to be Ben from AJ Racing coming down with his GT-R to run on the track I hope. Its going to be at Pacific Raceways on the 26th of this month if anyone is interested on coming down. Their is also SpoonEk4 that will be out in his Fit as well.

 

I lived near Pacific Raceways for almost 20 years but never went to it. Will it cost anything to watch on the 26th?

 

i don't think it costs anything to spectate.

 

Its free to spectate.

If anyone is going to go SpoonEk4 said to show up around 10 am. I plan on taking a camera and try and shoot some good pics but who knows how they will turn out haha.

 

so, what's been up with the pacnw fit freaks?

My car has been needing to go into the shop for far too damn long. So long in fact i've been avoiding driving it. She's got an appt with the dealer saturday morning, so me going to spokane is really up in the air.

Been trawling around in the black supra more and more. I actually got some tuning work done on it and the butt dyno says the power has increased. *shrugs* Still need to get the money saved it up to have it dyno tuned. Don't need massive power but would like it more fun to drive and safer... too detuned and you can have more problems

My mom went into the hospital last weekend right as the LAN party i was hosting was ending. Good timing no? She's doing ok, came home monday afternoon. They have her on an antibiotic now and took her off the 1aday. apparently she's been taking too many vitamins? :P

Dunno how many of you are into toyota's of any sort, but the Puget Sound Toyota Owner's Club is hosting their annual event this year @ Griot's Garage in Fife, Wa. They are shooting for over 300+ cars in the show and they are up for having as many cars of ALL makes show as possible.

If anyone here is interested in more info, post up and I'll provide what I can.

 

good to know your mom is alright matt.

i'm out of the scene for right now. to broke and not really motivated to mid atm.

as far as mods go i finally got new tires. yokohama s-drives. people aren't kidding when they say tires are one of the best mods you can do.

 

PSTOC got some cool ppl, when i had my corolla they had many mini gatherings, they never care what you drive, always welcome you. unlike euro peeps always give honda crap....anyways, PSTOC is trying to throw that out once a yr...if i got time, i'll go...only if i got time

 

Yeah, they want as many people to show as possible. If you have a toyota, any toyota (scion/lexus), you can register your car for a trophy and good parking spot. If you don't have a toyota you can show up, look at the cars, buy raffle tickets for some cool prizes and meet some pretty sweet people. The big prize they are raffling off is a car! Second year in a row they've been able to do this.

Hints on the car: its a 1985 toyota liftback.

Here's the advert:

 

oh yeah, last year the guy that won the car won with only buying 1 ticket. So, for $1, you can walk away with a car to do with as you please. Car is running, driving, clean title, etc.

 

alright, so i'm bored today and scouring bernadi's site since they sent me an email stating that accessories are on sale. So i was looking through the fit stuff and noticed the exhaust "finisher" and was thinking about dropping the whopping $18 for it. Anyone have one? What do you think of it? I need to drive behind my car and really see what the muffler looks like.

 

i would not get it. the exhaust is really hidden and that finisher just puts an odd piece of chrome there and points it down. i dont like the look but to each his own.
