great start! lets bring her down some
Naw I'm afraid of going too low due to dip into the parking lot at my job. I feel sorry for the kid with the lowered G35. Besides I've got another modification in the back of my mind for my ride. EIther upgrade the suspension from FFtypeI ==> Koni/GC or....go baller and get that K20 I've dreamt about.

Update: I'm going to track my car at Willows Springs!! I might spring for a new driver's seat for the occasion. Oh just got a headunit so I stream my music from my phone and make my calls hands free.

Yeah it's a nice lil upgrade from the stock setup, now I talk to people while driving, stream my music and charge my phone. What sucks though is when I took my ride to mechanics today, it's gonna cost me like $1k to repair my crankshaft, gaskets around the timing belt, and the bearings. Indeed, it's a sad day for my integra. Hope to get it back sometime this evening. If not, then no track day..... :(

Awesome stuff man. Sorry that my car is down and I couldn't come out. I will let you know when it is back up and running. When do you plan on going back?

No rush at the moment; but I could be persuaded. I definitely found it all very enlightening, exciting, and will definitely do it again sometime soon. I was surprised that I used so little gas with the way I was driving. Also I will probably take the 5 north to the 14 north on the way up next time. Hopefully I can run with you next time and get some tips. Also Nick do you know where I can do a GSR swap? I might consider doing that in the future when I'm ready. Saw a couple of tegs up there and was hoping to spot someone else ride up there from CI. Maybe next time.

We need to have you do Buttonwillow next time, because then you can become a passenger. Being a passenger really helps you learn.

Moshi Moshi sells GSR swaps. Theres always hmotorsonline too.

Cool, I will look them up. I really would like to experience VTEC for all it's glory!! Is Buttonwillow the big track next door, right??

Also I won some raffle with company that setup the event; it's $100 credit for a shop called Race Precision. I looked it up and it was a BMW performance oriented shop....I was hoping it would be a generalized one that I get more parts for my car like the ASR subbrace sway bar combo. Oh well, I will keep you in the loop when the next time I head up there to run my car. I'm going to do an oil change and top off my fluids since it's my day off.
